Just goes to show that what many people believe attracts them
may have little to do with what sort of person they actually do go for.

Personally, I have been one of those who claims to prefer
women without makeup.  I think I have been misunderstood.
Given one fairly attractive woman with a good makeup job
and sexy clothing, I would prefer another woman who would
be EQUALLY attractive WITHOUT the makeup and sexy clothes.

Of course, if this second woman also put on make-up, etc,
she would look much better than the first one.  She might
even be so beautiful as to seem unapproachable.  That's why
I'd prefer her without makeup and in simple, wholesome clothes.
