Why do wives and LTR girlfriends care more about validation from other guys than their guy?

[Anonymous]

When this happens, it's usually where the woman dresses plain and does minimal makeup around her guy, but when going around other guys, dresses sexy and does full makeup. What's the reasoning behind this? Is the SO just seen as low value to her?

Bro I dress plain and simple around my girlfriend aswell but when we go out witu friends or alone I dress up aswell and put more care into my looks.

Its natural to start feeling comfortable in a ltr and isn't a bad thing or are you sitting at home all dressed up on Sunday evening while single?

I dress the same every day and put the same level of effort into my appearance every day. Obviously I have to put on more clothes when we go on a date or something. But I bet you don't put in a ton of effort to run errands or go to the gym. Does your girlfriend?

My ex wore light makeup everyday even for work. Only if we stayed at home or visited family she wouldn't. When we or she alone would go out, she would put on more and dress up.

Then I have a friend who basically always dresses up for every occasion. Reapplying makeup like lipstick even when we just hang out (and no she does that generally).

Idc that much how my girlfriend dresses up as long as its not really slutty. In the end you're the guy who fucks her at the end of the day.

I guess she just gets used to her husband if she acts like that, but it shouldn't be that way.

Used to him, like she doesn't care about impressing him anymore? Do you think some of it could be about avoiding sex?

[avery58]

I don't know if it's about avoiding sex or not but I heard that some women don't care about impressing their husbands much anymore after some time, since some of them even let themselves go.

Oh yeah, I've definitely seen this. But men do it too. My gym is almost all guys that aren't married. Probably wondering why their wives don't want them lol

Yeah, lots of them age into the notorious dad bod 😂
