[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 45 and married. Most of my friends have stayed attractive. I don’t necessarily the time and effort makes someone more pretty. I have a few friends who seem obsessed with beauty routines and I don’t like to hang out with them as much. You can take good care of yourself without telling others. If I am annoyed hearing about it, I’m sure a guy would be more turned off. They want to think you are just attractive.

DH earns a seven figure income and I don’t work. I can spend as much time and money as I want on myself. I also spend 4 hours on skincare/spa per week but no one needs to know or care. I work out daily. I have friends who just don’t eat a lot or drink tons of water and don’t go to the spa and they look fantastic.

I’m not sure why you need to tell these guys how much time and money you spend on your beauty. It makes you sound vain.[/quote]

Same here. No one on my circle goes on and on about our beauty routines. If anything, we downplay our efforts. You can also divorce the idea of exercise from beauty and just do it because it makes you feel good, which is something you shouldn’t apologize for or over explain. [/quote]

You downplay your efforts?  So you feed into the myth of "natural" aging and that looking effortlessly good comes with minimal effort?[/quote]

DP but yes, I do. Who wants to be a bore?[/quote]
