Hookers do not wear flats and granny dresses and neither do most women, out on the prowl, [probably w/o a partner] at clubs etc.] They are highly likely to wear tight, revealing, form flattering clothing. And heels. Not army boots, sneakers or flip flops. I posted a show and tell for flats and granny dresses at the pic and video gallery. With the expectant results.
ALL the choices that women have in clothing items, makeup, padding etc. is to ALLOW them a better chance/opportunity to be more "attractive". [to more men] MORE men to "choose from" means a better chance of finding a man who will be a "good"/reliable father for any offspring.
Men don't have such a wide variety of choices and don't wear makeup [there is a reason they call it makeup] because they don't NEED them. Spending so much effort on appearance for a man is generally a waste of his time. Which is why so few men will spend anywhere near the time, money or effort on appearance as women do. A simple REALITY check is as close as the nearest supermarket. Simply look at and compare the ratio on magazine covers at the checkout ... of women/men/couples. Women in general obsess over their looks and bodies because THEY compete for men based on their VISUAL PRESENTATION at the very least, initially.
Countless women in various professions have landed jobs often based more on their "good looks" than their job skills. Far less likely for a man to land a job based on his "presentation".
