Homely & Unattractive Survey
 
 

 

Why is being messy, unattractive and putting in extra effort to make ourselves look homely so prevalent today?
Over recent decades we have seen people dress down every aspect of their appearance.  Not just clothing, but the unshaven look for both men and women, the unkempt look of teenagers that has spread to all age groups, and the bad-skin look for women seem to be very desirable.  Whether you agree or disagree, it is likely that you dress less well and fix yourself up less than your parents did.
