Re: It's weird, but I've noticed that Men Being Super Gross is a common relationship complaint.

It's really depends on the field.
Also people do look at you. I had much less trouble finding jobs when I was thinner and younger and had some mascara on.

This. It depends entirely on the field. I never wore makeup in my daily life (or on the job ever again past the interview) but I always used to wear makeup to job interviews because I'd heard women who didn't were less likely to get hired. Then I forgot my makeup to one, decided fuck it I'll try anyway, and I got the job. Later I learned that if I had worn makeup I might not have - the job required a degree of security/enforcement, and they were leery about hiring a woman, until they saw my "stern" look (which was my boss's very polite way of saying butch).

I never wore makeup to a job interview again and have been hired for everything I applied to. But my current work is also dangerous/industrial. I think if anything management would look askance at you if you showed up dressed to the nines.

And honestly yeaaaaah they kinda should. It has been an actual problem with a previous hire who is my subordinate that I've had to deal with, where it has started interfering with her job because while she'll wear the bare minimum safety equipment (hard hat, vest, steel toes), she will wear it with clothing she can't kneel/crawl/climb a ladder in (frilly skirts, tights, "cute" floppy boots that are technically steel toed but clearly not meant for our industry, dangling jewelry, loose long hair, a face full of makeup that's going to start running the second she sweats), and nails that make it so that she can't firmly grip a tool. It's all under the auspices of "it's just a meeting/inspection, I don't have to do that, if I did I'd just change" but everyone knows that's not what's going to happen. What's actually going to happen is that she's going to get someone else to do that part of her job. There's a lot of overlap in our work and I have to climb up shit and get down on my hands and knees and use equipment all the time, I know she does - or she should - too. But she wrings her hands and asks one of the workers to do it or wastes everyone's time by going all the way back to the office. She's complained to me about the workers not taking her seriously and that it's clearly sexism but I've had exactly zero problems working with the same crews and neither have any of the other women in our section.

I'm in the process of correcting this behaviour as delicately as I can (it's not like the outfits belie an otherwise tough and gritty personality, she bursts into tears over everything and we are unionized/I don't want to take shit for "harassing" a subordinate), but now that I am senior enough to be involved in hiring myself... honestly, if she'd worn what she wears to work to our interview, she'd have been a no from me. I know some women have been told - like I was! - that they won't get hired if they aren't dressed/made up prissily, so I wouldn't punish them for that, wearing it to an office interview is fine: what I'd do is hold one of the interviews at a work site, after having accurately described the conditions and expectations of their work, then see what they showed up in, just to see if they have an iota of common sense.
