Changing through Attraction

Why do girls use so much make-up to attract guys?
It was very interesting to have a guy ask me such a question. Why do we tend to wear more make up?
Actually , better question: Why do we change our image to be liked by the opposite (or same) sex?

Honestly, I had to step back and think about it. Though I am not one to really wear make-up to impress someone (or wear make-up in general), I do, however, like to dress up a little more and feel cute to be able to get their attention.

Maybe it's because we want to appeal to the obvious senses before really showing our personalities. It's like displaying the best candies before having them actually taste it (Okay...that sounds a bit wrong but hopefully you, readers, get my jiff).

But I go for personalities more than the physical stuff. Why can't they just be themselves?
Though that may be true, we still tend to look at the physical features before we really get into the personality of a person. It's just who we are. That's why it's called physical attraction. There's nothing wrong with that. It's pretty natural. Besides, it's not like we are immediately adored by just personalities alone. Even someone who chats with another individual online will fully admit that he/she is attracted due to something physically appealing before they could say that it was due to their personalities.

However, I wonder until what point do we tend to change our personalities when we tend to feel attracted to someone?

It's possible to have slightly altered or completely changed our personalities because we like someone. We begin to adapt to what they like or try to convince them to like what we find amusing and such. What happens when the significant target of interest doesn't feel the same way? For some, we still try. This is where I must say we either change or they do.

I've heard many say
"Let them chase you."
"Boys love Bitches" (excuse me for the language)
"Girls go for the Bad Boy types"
and so much more...

It's all just a confusing mess.

Is it possible to lose ourselves just to get a person? I believe so.

*sigh*

I believe it's suggestible to try to stay true to ourselves. Though we may truly like or love the other individual so much, let's not lose who we are in the process.
It's nice to be able to take better care of ourselves, but it's not when we begin to forget who we are.
