Many GGs do not do what they could do to look their best. Due to obesity, poor choice in clothing that matches their body type and wearing little or no makeup, they have lowered the bar for everyone, including CDs
This is really an unfair statement. I grew up in the 50's and many women where I lived, only dressed up or put on makeup to go downtown, not to stay home. There were all sizes and shapes of women back then, same as now. Not everyone was a CDer's idea of a the cute, slim, ideal woman. Not all men looked like James Bond either. However, no matter what size men or women were, they had to go out and live their lives. If anyone thinks they have to "look" a certain way in order to go out, some people would never leave the house.

My point is, if you feel that you want to dress and go out, just do it. There are all sizes and shapes of all people. As long as you go with a smile and confidence, the clothes become secondary to how the real world should see you.
