treating plain women poorly or as invisible is an unspoken thing done by many humans

often people who do it won't even acknowledge that's how they think and behave

    I’ve been both dolled up and plain and there is a tangible difference to how you get treated.

    I choose to look plain these days just so I can get a clearer read on character.

    Word. I wear no makeup, I don't have high-end fashion clothing, and I don't really do much to my hair or style it. The difference between me now and me 10yrs ago (when I did do those things) is funny and sad.

    I'd rather do without all the extra stuff and, like you said, get a better read on character, than to doll myself up and question whether everyone is genuine or not.
