I'm curious, who would be willing to change their appearance for a SO, and where would you draw the line?
For example, would you be willing to change your hair color or style... or facial hair.. but you would not be willing to lose weight or have cosmetic surgery? Would you stop wearing pants and wear only dresses? Shave off your mustache? Color your hair to hide the grey?
Interesting topic. I would be willing to do all of that with the exception of cosmetic surgery, and wear dresses. I want to make my girlfriend happy, and for me its not a big deal to do those changes. Hence I see no reason not to do it. Also, my girlfriend does change if I ask her to do it.
I would be less willing if she wanted me to do something I consider ugly, such as getting a mustache.
I demand veto power and automatically refuse anything that can't be easily undone or changed into something I like(so I won't shave all my hair off or cover my body in tattoos or gain 100 pounds because she has a fat fetish or something).

I wouldn't change my hair color, but I'd be open to making small adjustments to my hair style so long as it didn't have a significant impact on how long it took me to do my hair. (I dated a guy once who just loved it when my hair was curly, so I rarely used the flat iron, and would use a curling iron or do pin curls sometimes.) I wouldn't change my hair length dramatically, since i'm the one who has to style it and wear it, and I've got a haircut that actually looks good if I have to wash-n-go.
On a similar note, if I know my SO really likes a particular color on me, or a particular outfit, I'll try to wear it a little more often, but I wouldn't throw out my wardrobe and buy a new one just to make them happy.
I definitely draw the line at cosmetic surgery - that's just expensive, painful, and risky.
Depends on how much it costs and whether I like the appearance too.
If either of you should happen to see this, I would love it if you would explain why you react so negatively to this topic. What is so bad about changing your outer wrapping paper to spice things up for your partner? Your hairstyle isn't the real you, so why not have fun with and for each other?

Because it's my hair, my facial hair and my wardrobe. I don't wear what I wear or how I wear it for anyone but me. Therefore anyone else's opinion, including a girlfriend if I had one, would be irrelevant or less than mine.

I'm not either of those folks but I answered no as well. I would only change things if I wanted to change. If he likes it...great. If he doesn't, on well.
With that said, I would never ask him to change himself for me. If he likes the way it looks then I'm satisfied. I might suggest he wear a different color every now and again, and that is something I would do for him if he actually cared about that kind of thing, but that's about it.
Oh, and my hairstyle is the real me. At least in the summer...it's wash and wear.
I'd have my limits. I'd really hate to shave my beard, but if she asked me then I'd do it. Hair would be acceptable as well. With clothing I'd be very weary because I enjoy dressing very casual. T-shirt and jeans are just fine and comfortable.
A complete makeover would make me question why the hell she wanted to be with me to begin with..
