Girls, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Are you ready for this? Hold on to your seat. Here it comes... Guys don't care what you're wearing! ...Shocking, I know.
Ok, let me clarify. Most guys are completely oblivious to the detail put into your appearance. We generally don't notice longer eyelashes, that your purse matches your shoes, or what color your nails are. Furthermore, baggy sweats, a baseball hat, and tennis shoes do little to dissuade a our interest. The long process of evolution has favored the guy who could identify an attractive girl at a distance, hidden among shrubs or trees, or in a crowded area. If you're hott, we'll notice (granted we have to be able to see your hip to waist ratio, facial symmetry, shiny hair, shiny eyes, and white teeth).
Despite our oblivion to finer details, you still go through the hours of preparation. Why? ...because in any group of guys, there is ONE alpha male, the leader, and you all want him. One of him, whole lot of you. To get his attention, you've got to be hottest girl in the room, and, suddenly, the details become important because cute, tight clothing, accessories, and color matching give you that slight advantage over a girl of equal beauty. He's more likely to spot and spend his time on the one who features her assets (even though he'd really take either one of you... if not both).
All that time spent on details is for competition with other girls. It's savage warfare for the attention of a few attractive guys.... The Appearance War.
