I've been married for almost 15 years and together with my wife for 20. So, it's been a while since I've had to consider dating. But I guess my question is whether you are approachable to the kind of man you are hoping to attract. There is a difference between someone being really pretty and overly doing yourself up. I know plenty of women I find to be beautiful who don't wear make up, do their hair up every day, etc.. There have also been multiple occasions of my finding a very physically attractive woman to be completely repulsive because of her personality.

I think, whether it's fair or not, that if I see a woman who is overly done up with makeup I would get the impression that they may be shallow. That theory has been disproved at times, but not as often as it has been proven to be correct. I'm guessing I'm not the only guy who feels that way. I also think So my guess, and it is only a guess, is that you may be more likely to meet a down to earth, good guy if you were to tone it down a bit. Assuming that is the kind of guy you are trying to attract. Thanks for posting! Good luck with the dating.
