No, I was talking about the expectations media sets for society. I should have made that more clear. Also, personal experience from years of being bullied by my peers for reasons such as not having a perfect complexion even when using "tried and true" acne medication, being told I smell like shit despite bathing every day and taking extra care to NOT smell, and oh, being picked on by adults for having the figure of a young teen instead of an average woman my age when trying to get a job also colors my viewpoint.

I really wish I was making up that last one. If I had a dollar for every time I've gone somewhere for an interview/dropping off a resume professionally dressed and gotten a snort of derision and a snide "You look like you're 14" even after explaining that I'm well beyond that, I would be set for life.

My point is, keeping good hygiene(which I do) doesn't guarantee that people are going to treat you like a human being in the dating world or any other aspects of the real world. As other people have said, almost everything you mentioned is a matter of keeping good hygiene, which isn't what I was talking about. I was talking about not getting all dressed up like you're going on a date on every single occasion in your day-to-day life, which men can get away with far more easily than women. Also, I don't want a boyfriend, but the point still stands.
