Today after gymnastics there was a town festival across the street, all free.

I happen to find women who don't wear makeup or much makeup in ponytails in their grungies more approachable, more real, and yes more attractive than the ones who are all made up.

Thanks Mark, but honestly, this wasn't cute in any way.

Liz, with your perfect skin and coloring, I can't see where you really need make-up.

My youngest dd is really into soccer (she has played in a State team) & I've met a lot of nice people through it & it's fun to watch! ;o)

I tell EG in the beginning that I don't get all made up because I don't want to set the bar too high in the beginning and then plant the seeds of disappointment when he sees the "real me".

Good point!

I was just thinking - flip it around - imagine you saw a great guy in his workout outfit all sweaty - you would NOT think less of him - you might like him more!

Hopefully you see him again, Liz! I think it is great you told him you are doing the job all by yourself and found out he is doing the same!!

and then when you do "clean up" it's a nice surprise.
