If you still got it, you should still flaunt it

Singer Beyonce sang an entire song on her last album about being upset with her guy, going to the back of her closet and finding that one dress that she know she looked good in. Then she went out to have fun with her girlfriends.

When it comes to relationships, I think we as women often find ourselves in a rut where we get too comfortable. If he's all right seeing us sit around the house in sweats and jeans, we figure we have nothing to prove.

It's very nice to have someone you can be your unapologetic self around. You don't have to worry about being out there in the streets competing with the rest of the women trying to get attention.

However, I think it is just as important to remind why he was physically attracted to you in the first place every once in awhile. Even my married friends say they notice a change in their guy's attitude when they decide to put on something flattering and go to a concert or a lounge with their girlfriends.

How important do you think it is to a relationship to make an effort to look extra good when going out? How often do you think it should be done? Or do you think once you've snagged a guy, it shouldn't matter?
