Why do most women lie about how they look?

[itilvolga]

First of all, dyeing hair and doing makeup don't change phenotype as long as the woman doesn't exaggerate. We do it for fun and changing our mood most of the time, not because we are too insecure with our natural traits. But I agree with plastic surgery.

a woman being pretty is like a man being rich, that's why
it gives women social status and access to better mates
pure evolutionary biology at work

online dating is were you really see the extent of it.
women will cherry pick the most flattering pics of themselves (sometimes 10 years old) to appear more physically attractive then they really are

[Mopi Licinius Crassus]

They are not fooling anyone most of the time.

Surgery is very obvious, and so is excessive makeup.

depends on how subtle the surgery is tbh

to catch men's attention, obviously.
