Do you find that you pay less attention to how you dress, groom, etc. when you're in a relationship? Or as you equally attentive to your appearance whether or not you're in a relationship?

How have your past partners been about this, and what impact (if any) did their approach have your your relationship?

For me I think about the same.

I wouldn't mind if my partner being care free around the house (no..not that kinda care free!), shorts and worn sweater, etc...no problem.

I actually think women in boxers and t-shirt can be quite sexy

Your boxers and t-shirt or should she bring her own?

Hmmm ...

I gussy up. No, I guess about the same. I wear more skirts, though.

Wow...the title of this thread creeps me out because if my grooming habits are going down while in a relationship it's a surefire sign I've got a parasite attached to me and he's literally sucking the life and romance out of me. Only one thing to do....grab a hot pin and some rubbing alcohol!

If it's a good relationship then I "let myself go" emotionally and inhibition wise ...I am more "free" to be me

When I worked I wore jeans and t shirts so coming home to jeans and t shirts wasn't much of a change. I've always liked to dress to kill when going out though...guess its my Los Angeles roots showing there.

Haven't been in a relationship for over 4 years, since my husband passed away, and I notice that I'm pretty sloppy around the house now...the jeans have become flannel pjs with warm socks...Tres sexy, non?

If I'm ever in a live in relationship again (can't imagine that right now) I suspect I'd be a bit spiffier / at least go back to jeans.

BUT I live in the Great Northwest and here jeans & flannel shirts, birkenstocks with socks and backpacks pretty much constitute being dressed up. I attend the Oregon Symphony and see many more people kicked back for comfort than I see dressed up for style. Except for me of course.

Keep Portland Weird is the town saying.

Roxy

I'm actually better looking when I'm in a relationship!

I want him to think I'm pretty so I keep myself up, and I'm getting more "exercise" (not to mention almost everyone eats healthier than I do), so my weight stays down. I dress better because I want him to be proud of me. I'm happy, and you can definitely see it in my eyes.

The only time that's not true is if I feel trapped in a really bad relationship. Then I'll do some serious emotional eating (throw me the donuts...) and live in sweatpants. Depression is not attractive.
