The Truth About Keeping Up Your Looks In A Committed Relationship
The trickery factor
There are, unfortunately, people out there who purposefully go over-the-top with their looks in order to “catch” a partner. And then they consciously stop making an effort the second they get married or engaged, because they feel like, “Well, my work is done here.” It’s sort of sleazy and manipulative. And men are aware of those personality types, so when you simply joke about not having to look good anymore, your partner can fear that some of those habits are sneaking in.
