It's all about the pheremones...
I'm always surprised to discover how contrary my opinions are to those of my sisters. This applies to a wide array of topics but I'll hone in one one specific one: attractiveness.
It was a Saturday morning and I was on my way to Bishkek so I put on the same outfit I wore all week (which is acceptable here and it really cuts down on laundry so I'll file this under a win-win situation) I hadn't showered all week, my hair was dirty and my smell was noticeable (not in a good way). I walked into their room to say goodbye and that I'd be back before dinner and they all coo'ed in Russian: ooo beautiful girl, beautiful girl, you must be meeting a boy today! You look great!
I gave them my best "are-you-crazy?" look and told them that I'm dirty, my hair's greasy and I smell.
Their response? "No, no.... that look suits you!"
I sighed and thought about all those countless hours wasted getting ready when I used to care about how I look. I can't help but wonder if guys at home will be attracted to "that look" as well....
