It’s the coziest time of the year snuggles, hot chocolate, and binge-watching rom-coms. Obviously, I did the last one because, hello, priorities. While watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (the ultimate rom-com classic), I noticed something that hit me like an epiphany. Or maybe it was just my IG feed sending me perfectly timed reels about the movie. Anyway, I saw this reel that pointed out how Andie (Kate Hudson) stops styling her hair and embraces her natural curls as she starts falling for Benjamin (Matthew McConaughey). And honestly? It got me thinking: when women are truly in love, we start letting loose but guys just don’t get it.
Why Do Girls Stop Glamming Up When Dating?
Okay, let me give you a quick recap for those living under a rock. Andie and Benjamin start dating each other for selfish reasons—she’s trying to make him break up with her for an article, and he’s trying to make her fall in love to win a bet. Spoiler alert: they both catch feelings. Hard. But here’s the thing: while Benjamin’s love for Andie isn’t exactly obvious, Andie’s feelings are written all over her. When we first meet Andie, she’s every bit the polished, picture-perfect woman her hair styled to perfection, her makeup flawless, and even her nails on point. She’s basically that girl who shows up looking like she stepped out of an editorial. But as she starts falling for Benjamin, her look completely shifts. She stops putting so much effort into getting dolled up. Her hair is natural and messy, her outfits are cosy and relaxed, and she just seems herself.
This got me thinking: isn’t that exactly what happens in real life too? When a girl is truly in love, she feels safe and comfortable enough to drop the always-perfect act. She doesn’t need layers of makeup, styled hair, or a runway-ready outfit to impress him. She can just be. It’s her way of saying, I trust you with the real me.
But here’s the frustrating part guys don’t always understand this. They think we’re not trying anymore or worse, that we’ve stopped caring. Like, no, babe. The fact that I’m showing up with a messy bun and no makeup doesn’t mean I love you less. It means I trust you enough to be real around you. Do you know how rare that is? For women, love isn’t just about fancy date nights or looking picture-perfect all the time. It’s about feeling secure, being authentic, and letting down the walls we usually keep up. So, the next time your girl isn’t dressed to the nines, don’t assume she’s given up. It could mean she’s truly in love with you.
