but overall i think dudes, while they may not dig the whole look, are attracted to the idea of a woman taking care of her appearance

a girl w/ no makeup and not really wearing anything flashy (but not looking bummy), doesn't really stand out either way and i think guys like the knockout factor b/c somebody like it. even though she may look beautiful, she's plain and y'all doth protest too much because i've seen dudes check out those babydoll eyelashed chicks more quickly than a woman dressed to run an errand-even if she's clearly more striking
