I spent last night at a friend's house. We hadn't seen each other in a while, so it was nice to catch up. We ate Chinese food and went to Sunflower market, which is one of my favorite stores ever.
At one point that night, we began talking about self image. It is curious, because the one thing that I am not quite sure of is whether or not guys actually care about how girls look. See, it would make sense that if girls were being conditioned to want to be thin and wear make-up and specific types of clothes, that guys would also be conditioned to look for girls who follow those "rules."
However, I have also been told that guys are mostly attracted to confidence. If this is true, it would make sense that girls who follow the "rules," would be more confidant than girls who don't because they think they are looking the way guys want them to look and that confidence attracts men so the stigma is enforced.
I guess what I am really wondering is how much does appearance affect how much a guy likes you and how much of it is the confidence in who you are?

Whether a guy is willing to admit it or not, it is mostly appearance. If you are underconfident but physically attractive, a guy is still going to go for you. I know plenty of girls like this; in fact some guys prefer them, because they like to feel powerful. However, I think it does increase your chances if you are less attractive but more confident. And maybe it's also true in a weird way that being confident actually makes you appear physically attractive. Just think Johnny Lingo :).
Regardless, I want a guy who is not so superficial to care whether I wear makeup and weigh 115 pounds, because I have never dated a guy solely because of his appearance, and I expect the same treatment in return!
Who ARE you? You want an LED binary clock (in blue) and you're excited about an online Icelandic grammar tool!? IMO you're the most amazing person ever.
I'm a friend of Darron Allred's. We were in Iceland together as missionaries a million years ago. I teach computer science at Bennington College and go to Iceland several times a year. So you see, we might have things to talk about. Email me...
