For the record, the strategy I adopted was to just act a lot less attracted to her and hope she'd get the hint.

[/ QUOTE ]

Brilliant strategy. It's obvious that communication was the cornerstone in this one. If you're unable to talk to your girlfriend about stuff, why is she your girlfriend? That should be one of the benefits to having a girlfriend. Not saying to be cruel in how you approach her with it, but you should be able to say something.

This worked, as she got a ton of new clothes, layered her hair, and even puts on a marginal amount of make-up, but she opted to break up with me before doing all this.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't say it worked. She'd likely have done this no matter how you guys broke up. The fact she is single has much more to do with it than you ignoring her. Watch when she gets into another relationship. She'll likley revert back. Unless she was just depressed a little from dating you. Which could be an extension of how you described how you kept yourself. It can build on each other.

i try to praise the positive if i can remember to. next time you see her with hair in a way you like, compliment her on it. if you don't like the hair in a weird bun and really feel a need to point it out, just smile at her, reach over, pull the pin out of her bun, run your fingers through her hair and give her a good kiss. who knows, you might even get lucky.

There were many things that could be talked about, this was just a particularly touchy subject. Hence the post.

Yes the "it worked" part was sarcasm. I know I didn't handle it well.

Should've snapped her in the crapper while you could've. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Couldn't resist...

Also, for the record, neither of us were getting fat. It was purely a clothing/hair/grooming issue.

It can really suck when it extends to her grooming downstairs.

The correct answer is obvious:

Stick it in her pooper.

I'm pretty sure a large amount of the advice that was given in the "how to tell her she's getting fat" thread of a fews months ago would apply, but i don't remember the title or who started the thread.

However, I think it's general knowledge that once they've got you or think they have, they stop caring about themselves.

Could you link me to that thread? I think that it would be interesting to read.

what is it with the young generation looking unclean and sloppy with hand-me-down looking outfits these days, anyway? even my wife bought these jeans for an enormous amount of money that looked like they'd been ground into mud and washed with dollar general laundry detergent. every time i go out with her wearing those pants, i feel the need to explain to people that we are not poor...that those jeans came right out of the box looking that way.

and don't get me started on stinky dreadlocks on white people....

cheers!

Easy.

You buy her a salon package that includes the works: hair cut, color, style, manicure, pedicure, eyebrow waxing, bikini wax, massage, facial... (Don't forget to include the tip in the package price).

You buy her a gift certificate to any store that ONLY sells cute women's clothing. (Make sure they sell her size, though. DO NOT pick out clothing for her!)

You tell her it's a "just because I love you" gift because you want her to "relax and enjoy." You can add that so-and-so got this package and loved it...

She will remember how hot she is.

You will receive many thanks in many forms.

the best part is that before she turned into a slob, she posted on a message board with the title "how do i tell my boyfriend he's a pig?" and all the responses were like "just start dressing like a pig yourself, he'll take the hint!"
