[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends. Here is what I have observed:

- Some women simply expect any man they are with to be like this, and this results in them marrying a man like this. I think the women like this had dads who were like this, and treated them well, and it gave them faith such men exist and they go out looking for one and then if they get one, they don't look a gift horse in the mouth and they lock him down. I think this is most common.

- Some women prioritize marriage early and do a good job of picking a guy who will become this, even if when they start dating or get married, [b]he's merely reliable and kind but kind of goofy looking [/b]and doesn't have a good job or anything. Often these couples are religious and meet through their religious activity, which I think works out because they tend to have similar families, goals, and values. Then she can kind of help him grow up, learn to dress, encourage him to make good career choices. So this is kind of DIY.

- Some women buy low. I know a couple women who have found men fresh off divorces (or even just while separated) who turned out to be good partners. I am not sure if they were always good partners or learned something from their first marriage or are just scared to be twice divorced. You have to find a divorced guy with no kids for this, and you have to make sure to get a guy who doesn't want to be divorced, but that second one is not as hard as you think -- men rarely want to get divorced and most divorces are initiated by women. So if you can find a guy who is like mid to late 30s who is just divorced, odds are good he'll be eager for a solid relationship and will make extra effort. Marry one, have a kid with him, he'll be extra loyal. But make sure his first relationship didn't end because of cheating (on either side) because he'll either do it again or never trust you.[/quote]

There’s different kinds of goofy looking. DH’s photos were very unattractive, but he just needed a makeover. I gave him control over my look so I could dictate how he presented himself. He needed a haircut, a beard, and a drastic closet clean out. [b]I had to give up wearing makeup and grow my hair longer, but I don’t care.[/b] We’re both very happy with the arrangement. Look at the r/bald sub on Reddit to see what’s possible.[/quote]

Everyone listen to this one here ^^. What a great one she landed! /s

He told her to stop wearing makeup and grow her hair? What the hell? Not okay. And this "I did it so I could tell him what to wear" stuff does not make any of this acceptable or even sane. [/quote]

+1
Absolutely not.

+2. WTH? What kind of insecure man baby makes his wife give up makeup?

Although I can’t imagine marrying a man who doesn’t know the basics of how to dress, style his hair, etc. If a guy showed up sloppy on dates I would have ended it right then and there. [/quote]
