[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thankfully my DH doesn't bother with the nitty gritty of budget line items but we have two kids, similar income, I'm a SAHM but in a LCOL area. I probably spend similarly. Some men don't care how their wives look (I guess?) but most do, and I believe most men highly, highly underestimate what it takes the average woman to continue to look attractive by late 30s. My DH loves a "natural" look and when I ask him for examples of this in middle aged women (I'm still younger) he always points out women who obviously have at the minimum Botox, expensive haircuts/coloring, and expensive clothing and makeup. He literally has no idea. He thinks the only people who get Botox are the women who look nuts because they've gone way overboard with fillers. 
Bottom line, if you want your wife to look good in her middle age, it's not super cheap. Some women have amazing genetics but most do not. [/quote]

Women place a much higher value on looks than many men.  So much of these expensive procedures have been targeted at women’s insecurities that they will fail to be attractive to their husbands or have relevance in the world. That’s not what keep partners engaged and attracted by on each other. [/quote]
