She’s Losing The Attraction That She Has For Her Boyfriend Because He Doesn’t Try To Get Dressed Up
A 24-year-old girl is dating a guy a decade older than she is, and when they initially started dating, she noticed he had a casual way of dressing.
Unfortunately, as time has gone on, her boyfriend has been dressing sloppier and sloppier to the point where she’s losing the attraction that she has for him.
At this point, her boyfriend pretty much only wears tees and gym shorts. He never wants to put on jeans, and although they do live where it’s hot, she desperately wants him to try to make an effort to get dressed up on occasion.
Frequently, her boyfriend will pick some bad clothes to wear too. For example, his shorts end up being really short, his tees don’t fit him well, or he won’t wear any underwear with his gym shorts.
When her boyfriend chooses to dress like this, she does say something, and then he ends up accusing her of ragging on his style when all she’s trying to do is get him not to dress like a slob.
“I enjoy looking pretty, I want to wear nice dresses and heels when we go out, yet I feel so awkwardly overdressed next to him because the most I can get him to wear is jeans and a short sleeve,” she explained.
“Sometimes he’ll even keep a baseball cap on at nice bars, rooftop restaurants, generally more fancy places. I’m losing my attraction to him, I feel embarrassed to be out with him sometimes.”
“It’s so attractive when I see men look put together. I go out and see men in nice dress shirts and slacks, and it’s so attractive to me. Even a nicely fitted t-shirt and jeans are a turn-on now.”
She looks at other guys and sees that they make an effort to look nice, and she desperately wants her boyfriend to do the same thing.

Yesterday, her boyfriend’s outfit was so awful that she said no to grabbing lunch with him in public.
She is willing to compromise and just get her boyfriend to put on a pair of nice-fitting gym shorts and a tee; he doesn’t even need to get a suit or jeans.
She really can’t say anything to her boyfriend about how he dresses because every time she tries to talk to him, things spiral into an argument quickly.
“I want a man that I’m proud to be in public with, not a mid-30s-year-old I have to argue with to put on proper shorts and a half-decent t-shirt,” she said.
“I do love him, and I don’t know if “bad taste” is the hill I’m willing to die on, but goddamn, why can’t I just have a man that wears jeans?”
