I'm not certain for advice, but if this is a problem for you then the only thing I can suggest is some behavioural modification maybe? It seems as, since he only acknowledges your looks and effort to look nice when he wants some, that he's taking you for granted. Or, at the very least, he's complimenting for strictly self-serving reasons, and not at all for your sake. If so, stop getting dressed up for him. Stop making the the effort to look good. See how he reacts when you wear sweats alllll the time. Maybe withhold sex? All this should be done with open lines of communication so he at least knows why this is going on...

As it stands if you dont change anything you do he will not either since he can have his cake with very little effort...
