Me personally, NO. However, as we all know everyone is a little bit different. I would guess that many if not most would be happy to receive constructive criticism, in the form of helpful recommendations for clothes, makeup techniques, accessories, mannerisms to walk and act more like a GG. However, there are a lot here who do not have a communication process with their SO's. In those cases, it is sometimes hard to predict what reaction you may get. In a humorous, though oh so real way, it is like a man trying to answer honestly to his SO when she asks, "Does this make me look fat?"!
PS: I don't currently have an SO. But did before I started dressing.

Don`t have an SO.
As long as I am decently dressed under the law and no changes are made other than clothing, body hair removal, and makeup, and I don`t have to go out in public, the answer is no.
That said, I am a closet dresser with no plans to go out.
of coarse not my SO has great tastes

Having my wife give input to my dressing is always a step forward.
Even if I do not agree I would accept it as a compliment and treat it as such.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Absolutly not. I gladly accept her advises because that help me to have a better look. Never been deceived. Thanks to my wife.
If I had a SO I would gladly welcome any suggestions
Not at all. I ask my wife for her opinion all the time and also the "why" of that decision. She never forces it on me, but she'll say x or y looks good and z does not because... There are a million subtle things about women and style that we are not close to and need to learn. Who better to tell us?
Sometimes a little sad, because i put a lot of effort into my femme look before i present it to Her, and wouldn't bother Her with any look i didn't really like, but i trust Her judgement as a beautiful GG.

I think that would be a quality in a SO that I would want!
If you don't like the way I'm livin', you just leave this long haired country girl alone:
If my fiancee had suggestions for me, I would see if they made sense, and if they did, I would do those. But I always have the final say when it comes to my appearance, and she seems to like my style anyhow.

No, while I don't always agree with her style ideas for me, mostly she has a good eye for what I'm in to.

Not at all. it would suggest a new level of acceptance for me.
Absolutely NOT! Most of my fashion ideas either come from Mimi's advice or I run them by her for a "sanity check." She will often suggest things that I haven't yet considered and I've learned to pay close attention to what she says!

No, I'm usually delighted!
If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
No, always welcome her input. As said earlier in the thread, also shows a degree of acceptance.
I would not have been offended in the least. Everyone has their opinions and if my SO suggested this, I know it would have been said with kindness and consideration for me. She would just be being honest with me, and trying to look after me.

Not at all Ms Susan. My SO usually has very good tastes in outfits. The only thing we differ on is she says my breasts aren't big enough en femme.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
Not at all , it reminds me a bit of the black dress red dress scenario

Absolutely not! Actually neither my SO or myself would wear an outfit that the other did not approve of and think looked good on us.
My wife is very helpful with style suggestions.There is nothing I love more than going girly shopping with her - which we are planning to do in a month.
I would not be offended at all but there are some things which I wear as a fantasy thing which I would not even let her see. She is very supportive, but not opposed to have a cheeky laugh at my expense from time to time.
I would listen to what my wife told me, and see if it made sense to me. She has done it before, she also tells me that I wear things she would never wear but that I look good in them. She and I have different tastes but then we have different body shapes and can't for the most part wear the same things.

Is the new national pasttime being offended, or worse, offended by proxy? If someone makes a suggestion as innocent as a new dress style and you get offended, you have a problem. I say this as someone who gets negative comments (disguised as suggestions) because I prefer an over-the-top style. Yes, my style doesn't pass well and I don't represent other out-and-about CDers in a positive light, but so what? You can take offense or get over it, as I do when it is suggested that I tone it down. So, take the suggestion as information or ignore it and move on.
My so's imput into dressing is very important. She has great style sence and any guidance is aways welcome.
