I don't care what anybody says. This is something that anyone should demand from their significant other. Along with trust, respect, and kindness, there is...
Tyler's Personal Hygiene
This one is sort of related to yesterday's post. Just like you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she dresses, you can also tell a lot about a person by how they take care of themselves in the most basic sense. If a person can't be bothered to shower everyday or comb their hair or brush their teeth*, then we're going have another problem.
Working with the public, I have encountered a lot of B.O., bad breath, and greasy hair. And when I see someone with these traits with a wedding ring, I immediately wonder to myself who can stand to live with this person day in and day out???
Fine. Call me a bitch. Some women demand a man with a six figure salary. I demand a man who showers every day. Excuse me for having high standards.
Tyler is hygienic. This should go without saying, but I think it deserves mentioning. One should never take this for granted. (And if you do, spend a week working retail in rural Idaho and then come talk to me.) While Tyler usually showers every day, he doesn't always wash his hair because he doesn't have to. Nor does he have to wear deodorant because his "body odor" is faint and only those who get right up in his arm pit get the full experience. (Don't judge me.) He combs his hair, he brushes his teeth. He keeps his fingernails clean and short. I have never been scratched by a jagged, unruly toenail. Tyler meets my high hygienic standards. It's true love.
*I am obviously talking about people who have the means and opportunity for personal care, not the homeless or people who have to live in the woods for whatever reason.
