Part 4/8:
Interestingly, some individuals shared strategies for minimizing superficial effort initially while planning to progressively invest more in their appearance over subsequent dates. For instance, one woman mentioned a tactic where she would go on her first date without makeup, then "gradually put on more each date." This approach aims to reduce initial pressure and allows her to see if the guy is genuinely interested beyond superficial appearances.
This method reflects the idea that some women might prefer to reveal their true selves early, then gradually enhance their makeup or grooming as the relationship develops. It can also be viewed as a way to test whether their potential partner values authenticity or judges solely on looks.
