It's amazing what a good "costume" will do, and how different people will treat you.
Simply because Leonardo Dicaprio wore a pilot uniform he was able to successfully use and cash like hundreds upon hundreds of fake checks! Hilarious.

At any rate, I feel that how we present ourselves/the makeup we wear/the clothes we wear are a costume. And sometimes an old costume, though comfortable, does not fully reflect who we truly are anymore.. As we are always changing..
When I go out in sweats and no makeup men dismiss me..
When I put on makeup and put effort into my outfit (or wear a dress) they all look at me.
It's amazing actually.
It IS amazing, but it does not mean that the makeup attracts them. More likely, the confident look you get on your face after you put on makeup and the feeling of being graciously feminine in a dress are what attracts their looks. Or, at least a bit of both - objective look and the subjective feeling of confidence that grabs attention loud and clear.
