It is true that some women will deliberately dress dowdy to make it firmly clear to observers that they got their position on merit not favouritism.
And it is also true that useless airheads invest a lot of time in their appearance if its all they have going for them.
Possibly we are looking at different forms of attractiveness - "short term" and "long term" for want of a more technical term.
"Available now, no up-front!" is not a slogan an intelligent woman is likely to personify, but I daresay its a large component of short-term attractiveness...
Ha ha, yeah, there's that, too.
The brighter girls will be more likely to work to tone-down their appearance, and most men just respond to how desperate or "easy" women look.
I guess I'm confusing things by equating "attractive" with "beautiful", when those two things merely overlap. Most attractive women aren't particularly beautiful.
And beautiful women can be intimidating and therefore off-putting.
