      There is nothing at all wrong with attractive women. But women aren’t going to become attractive by buying trendy shampoos, cosmetics, or clothing. It’s an illusion created by the marketers for those items.

        If you genuinely think that self care and dressing well have no impact on how attractive you are then I suggest you have a fuck of a lot of queer eye to catch up on.

          My whole point was not about the use of self-care and dressing well, although most people don’t seem to realize that these are cultural relatives, not absolutes. I was saying that the industries continue to make people feel like they can become beautiful, happy, and successful by buying these things. And then in 3 months, it’s a new season and it all starts again.

        Grooming oneself is definitely a good way to make yourself more attractive. Just look at all the celebs with or without makeup and nice clothes. It makes a world of difference, and is also applicable to everyone.

          I have nothing against grooming. But an enormous chunk of our economy is devoted to selling images and dreams of beauty, rather than actually doing anything. Check out the chemistry of a $5 bottle of shampoo and a $50 bottle. Question why people are driven to purchase a new clothing every single season, as if their existing wardrobes are somehow inadequate.

          My complaint was never about the use of clothes, cosmetics, etc. It was the illusion that buying all of these things can make you look like the people in the advertisements, and that will make you successful and happy.
