Hey, I am older than Methuselah, but a nice skirt and heels is all it takes to make my motor run. Good makeup isn't wasted either.
I say if you gals are getting all you want, no importa. But otherwise, try shoes. You remember the story of lazarus...
"Good" makeup is the key here. A little here and a little there, so be it. And there are a few women who have such natural facial beauty that any makeup is too much.
Here in Texas, we do a lot of barbeque. And what they say here about *great* BBQ is that the best BBQ doesn't need sauce, because sauce only masks the incredible goodness of properly done BBQ. So it is with makeup. A few lucky souls have faces that are best without any makeup, or with very little. But the bottom line is that I personally believe that most are accentuated with a *moderate* amount applied in the right place.
Same with perfume. There are some scents I love. But NEVER too much. To me, a good scent should entice people to want to come closer, and that's not something that drenching yourself in perfume can do. Like makeup, better none at all than too much. There's no scent that won't repel me if it's too strong. Even ones that turn me on when used sparingly.
I have a weakness for a skirt and heels too, at least with decent legs. But as I said, when the rubber hits the road and it involves my better half, I like it to be an occasional treat -- because it has MUCH more effect when I see it than if it became SOP.
Hey, I don't like feeling like a superficial male pig -- but it is what it is, and I'd be a liar if I said these things didn't affect my snap-judgment about attractiveness. Obviously what's inside trumps these things when you get to know someone, but on first impressions... well, it is what it is. I don't choose it -- it just is. But once knowing you, a brain, a sense of humor, a personality really does trump all else in determining what I *really* want.
