Never Stop Trying

We should never stop trying to look good.  We should never become complacent.  It’s possible that some of us will never reach that ideal body, and that’s okay.  We just need to keep trying. 

I realize that those statements might receive a negative response from many people.  You might be thinking that I’m just another man that has an unrealistic expectation for beauty, right?  Not so.  I just don’t like how hard we try to impress someone when we’re trying to woo them and then completely give up after we have them.  Why does being in a relationship mean that that other person suddenly doesn’t deserve our best anymore?  Don’t we want them to be attracted to us?  Don’t we want them to know that they are worth the effort?

I realize that as love grows, you fall in love with more and more of a person, until it’s not just their looks that you love.  But let’s be realistic, we still care what someone looks like, don’t we?  There is too much imagery in this world, tempting and tantalizing us, to not be aware of it.  And I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I’m just saying that we should keep trying.  Let your partner know that they’re important, and them wanting you…to chase after you like they did in the beginning…is still important.
