Boyfriends are fattening.

I'm sure most of you have noticed that people in relationships tend to loose track of their appearances. They pay less attention to the way they dress, barely ever work out and rarely care about the way they look. I have a friend who recently went through a breakup and started working out 5 times a week to get over the painful aftermath. It actually made her look 10 times better somehow. Not only did she look great coz she had lost weight and shaped up nicely, but she seemed more confident which also added to her appeal. I never even noticed how attractive she was until post breakup. I'm sure her ex-boyfriend's drooooooling all over her now which got me thinking, why is it that people let things get to that point before they start doing something about it? I mean these days, its hard enough making a relationship work in general. With divorce rates higher than ever, even marriage doesn't ensure an eternal bond. Don't you think people should put more of an effort while IN a relationship to make sure you don't loose the interest of this amazing person you have taken years to find and bond with?

For me personally, its extremely important that my boyfriend find me super attractive. I love dressing up for him, looking good so he can compliment me all night long, putting that effort in so he can appreciate what he's got. Given that most men have wandering eyes regardless of what you do but I still feel its important to put that effort in making him LOVE the way I look so there's less of a chance of him looking elsewhere. I think its so important that people not take each other for granted.I think that is the beginning of the demise of any relationship. Attraction is what brings people together and I think it plays a crucial role in keeping them together long term. OF COURSE everything else has got to be right. LOVE is even more important and eventually the main reason you stay with someone but I think these days, the self-centered world that we're in mandates every bit of effort you can put in to make your relationship STRONG and LAST LONG.
