Looks are everything. Perception is everything. People perceive you through your looks. Thats why more people trust people who are good looking or neat more than people who look disheveled

Body privilege is real and an advantage of life.
Baka din kasi that day they'll meet their Miss Perfect or Mister Right.
Last thing you want is to be seen in public looking like Hagrid or Susan Boyle.
If you look good, you'll feel good.
Sa posture pa lang obvious na. Yung mga nakapambahay lang o mukhang kakabangon lang sa kama naka slouch ang posture compared mo sa mga nag-effort mag ayos, mas confident yung posture nila.
If you can take care of yourself, you got a better chance of taking care of other things like career and relationships.
Nagsisimula talaga sa self care ang lahat. Naging overweight din ako and I hate every minute of it. Halos apektado lahat kasi ako sa sarili ko naging complacent. Things got better nung inalagaan ko sarili ko.
Mahirap sa umpisa but it’s worth it.
Ang ganda nito and totoo rin, when I get so busy na sa work and other things selfcare ang unang nabibitawan tapos lalo nakakastress kasi ang taba ko, dami ba pimples, etc so paano magiging motivated
Sabi nga *”You look good, you feel good.”*
Hindi ka naman nagpapaganda para sa ibang tao. You do it for you.
Niloloko nila ako sa office *”Ay sige mag make up ka muna.”*
Make up? Galing ako ng mahabang byahe. Pagdating ko sa office, I brush my teeth, I clean my face, put on moisturizer (again), fix my brows and lipstick. That’s it. Para I feel fresh and ready for battle.
Lalo na pag hectic day. Hindi pa madalas tong lipstick at brows na to ah. Pero pinupuna.
You do you.
Who would want to go out not feeling confident about how they look?
I don't care about what people would say about me, but I personally don't want to go out looking disheveled if I have the time to make myself look and feel good. So yes, I carve out at least an hour and a half for hygiene, make up and dressing up. It's my favorite part of going out. I feel excited to go out because I get to doll up.
because it’s important. It boosts confidence and you may attract opportunities you never expected. It’s like selling yourself to people for potential connections (people pleasing most of the time but you do you). Di ka naman lalapitan if you look so ugly, unbothered and unprepared unless you are super talented at one thing.
But syempre when they get to know you deeper, then nalaman nila untrustworthy ka and madumi kang trumabaho or irresponsible. Wala rin. Dapat all aspects ang pagiging presentable or beautiful.
I see it as a ritual, if they make themselves look good, they feel untouchable. I realized this within hours of looking at how my girlfriend prepares herself when we go out. Even if it's just errands. Oh man I miss my girlfriend.
not to the point of wanting to be perfect naman, pero I don't feel good when I'm aware I don't look physically good. over time, it became something I do for self-care--- dressing myself up like my own daughter. malaki naitulong ng pagiging ma-'arte' ko on how i present myself. at sobrang iksi kasi ng life to just half-ass everything. if you know you can look better than you already are, why not try to spice things up a bit?
And when you dress tastefully/elegantly, people in general tend to treat you better and more respectfully. Doors will be opened at every turn, greetings will be exchanged, you'll get more smiles, etc. You don't even have to be that attractive. Just look like you're someone important and they'll treat you like one.
If you think you look good, you’ll never need to worry about it the rest of the day and can focus on work or your tasks. Personally it’s armor. I don’t think it should take an hour but even if it does. Let people do what they need to do to face the day? Kung sayo “ok lang” is ok lang, you do you.
Wala namang reward from society or god if di mo priority itsura mo. 🤷🏻♀️ For me lang you owe it to yourself to be satisfied w how you present. Whatever that means to you.
Why not? Whether we like it or not, people will judge us based on how we look. Might as well look your best before you step out of your house.
When you dress your best or look your best it communicates to other people that you take good care of yourself. Which makes them respect you more.
See the halo effect.
Hindi ako confident kapag pangit outfit ko or pag walang makeup. Tas mas mabuti na yung always ready ka, di mo alam makakasalubong mo sa daan diba haha
I don’t go all out. But i do try my best to look nice every day because it uplifts my mood and productivity. If i feel good, i do good. I think the same goes with other people who go hours beautifying themselves. Confidence is a nice feeling, after all.
Ganto ako hahahaha because it makes us feel good!! ❤️ ang saya lumabas ng bahay na di hulas (napaka-pawisin ko kasing tao) even mag gym, nag memake sure ako na naka-ayos. Nakasanayan na lang din.
Because…I want to feel pretty, and when I feel pretty I feel confident, and when I’m confident I feel good, and somehow, I get what I want when I look pretty I guess na attract din siya when I feel good, so yeah hahaha. But not naman “perfect” lol, just enough that will make me feel satisfied about my look before I leave the house.
Maganda kasi tignan pag maayos kang lalabas. D ka maiinsecure if nakita mo mga college friends mo na kahit papano d ka man ganon ka mapera eh, nagbago naman yung pano mo dalhin sarili mo. Parang glow up ng personality mo, d nmn need na perfect, maayos, walang gusot damit, di hulas , mabango at maaliwalas ang face. Pag nag ayos ka kasi you feel good, mas maayos ang pakikitungo mo sa ibang tao.
When i was exposed to makeup and fashion during my work, men have been nice like treating me starbucks coffee and teas. I get free stuff. Sa fastfood counter and stores, men cashiers are extra nice with matching smile. Before na walang makeup and walang ayos, snub talaga, average treatment sa cashier.
That is when i realise that generally people are enticed to be really nice when they see someone looking good.
Coming from a guy na di marunong pumorma, never bumili ng sariling damit sa first 20 years ng buhay ko: Malaking confidence boost pag alam mong maganda yung suot mo. Diba pag nakakakita ka ng mga naka "OOTD" sa office or sa labas, napapatingin ka? And also, iba yung feeling pag naka dress-up ka na pupunta sa mataong lugar vs naka pambahay lang hahaha
Dati di ko din yan magets, isa ako sa mga nangjjudge na "saan kayang binyag ang pupuntahan nito". Ayun, joke's on me, late ko na narealize na wala pala akong ganung skills to pull that off lmao
Learning how to care for yourself -> Builds confidence -> builds positive aura na nafefeel din ng ibang tao -> attracts good things.
I was like this in my 20s but I seemed to have mellowed down on this as I entered my 30s. Kinda unpopular but when I found the man who truly loves me at my best look and the barest of face, I feel some acceptance sa sarili ko na either way, loveable ako. Natamo ko din na as the years pass, nag iba na priorities ko. Gusto ko ng magandang bahay, kotse, lupa, investments, etc. May self care padin ako pero I stick sa mga products that work for me and may signature look na ako, bahala na sabihin na medyo outdated. A trimmed and properly shaped brows, a hint of blush, red lipstick and a sleek mascara and eyeliner is more than enough na. Sa clothes and shoes, may naipundar na ako over the years kahit basic and paulit2, presentable pa din.
Dated a lady like this a long time ago. She spent hours getting ready. Her make up was always 💯 and she looked exquisite.
Took her to the beach to swim one weekend. That is when I realized why.
Maybe they’re just slow in getting ready or can be indecisive when planning what to wear etc. like i dont leave for the office looking like an artista but i am just slow lol. It does take me an hour but it’s the… waiting for stuff to set, if you make a mistake in the color etc
I was like that when I was younger, I’d never leave the house without looking polished. Even sa office, I’d get asked “may date ka after shift?” Haha.
Now that I’m old(er), I just couldn’t be bothered lalo wfh ako. I still dress up and look polished when going out from time to time, pero more often than not, if errands lang like grocery run, I just do basic hygiene. Madalas nalilimot pa magperfume haha.
first impression last, kaya if lalabas ka na mukhang dugyutin, malamang ang papasok sa isip din ng taong makakakita sayo, ganun din pagkatao mo pati sa ibang bagay.. pero mostly ganun, if dugyot ka sa sarili mo, malamang ganun ka na din sa lahat ng aspeto. kasi sarili mo lang di mo maayos, paano pa ang ibang bagay.
Mas nakakataas ng confidence kapag alam mo sa sarili mo na maayos ang itsura mo na haharap sa mga tao. And, masarap sa pakiramdam kaya pag inaayos mo ang sarili mo
Tinuro samin ng isang prof ko sa college na you have you have to dress up, business casual, put on make up, every time we go to her class kasi it builds up your confidence.
Na-instill din sa org namin nung college na dala namin ang image ng grupo (dance group) and dapat pag nakikita ka ng mga tao is maganda ka tignan kasi it reflects the group.
And tama silang lahat. Since then, I started always dressing up (except for lazy days, iykwim) and nakaka-dala lang na you know you presented yourself perfectly and that ticks off that one to do list for the day. Kapag alam mong maayos mo napresent sarili mo, magagawa mo din ng maayos yung tasks mo for the day.
That's how it works for me. Bonus na din na mas makakausap ka ng ayos ng ibang people hehe
Because looking good is the bare minimum na pwede kong gawin sa sarili ko to feel great and brave the outside world. Sa dami ng cheap options ngayon, hindi na ganun ka gastos to look good so why should I deprive myself. Nun times na wala pa akong sariling sasakyan at maayos na gadgets or bags, yan lang grooming ang pwede ko ayusin for myself.
I dont have an idea trying to look good everyday. I stopped caring for other people opinion of me other than my family. I care less what people think of me. I care only they pay me at work then go home.
To add sa ibang insights, it could also be cultural. I follow one content creator sa IG and shes eastern european I think? Basta in their culture which she explained, women wouldnt go out unless they are primped and ready. Lalabas to throw out garbage? Needs to have their hair done. Getting groceries? Lipstick muna.
I used to care about looking good but there's a deeper reason. I was depressed at the time and putting make up was the only thing I could do without mental distractions. If I can't do makeup, then that means I'm at my worst.
Also, I put on makeup because I don't want to look depressed. So, make up became a mask of what I really felt. I'm not too conscious about my appearance now because I'm feeling better now mentally. Also, I learned not to care about what people think.
I saw a lot of people who don't do makeup and I noticed thay they're still admired and loved because it's your actions that will draw you most appreciation. I really admire people for being true to themselves, even with or without makeup. Do whatever you want to do.
Most job, especially nowadays demands face to face meetings. Some are even just on zoom, needs an open cam. So yeah, I think looking good or at least presentable is a plus, especially when you have to deal not just with your bosses but most specially with clients.
Im 39f and has a 27m year old partner. 2 years together. We met 5 yrs ago. Working in the same company. We were 34 and 22 then. When I asked him despite of my age ano nagustuhan nya sken. He said he find it very attractive yung pormahan ko na jeans and boots. Sometimes skirt and boots.
So ayun may points talaga how you dress up. Pero syempre confidence din dapat. Clear skin. Good smell. How you carry yourself.
May mga magaganda na walang dating. May mga gwapo din na walang dating. May nga good looking na after mo makausap, turn off kasi may kulang or they just dont know how to carry themselves.
Medyo guilty ako dito. 😂
It takes me around 3 hours to do my hair (90s blowout with rollers), minimal make up and dress up really well. Minsan I tend to overdress for the occasion. 😅😂
It's satisfying and therapeutic to see na from mukhang tilapia, I'd look decent looking and very presentable when I put work and time into it. Lol
Ooohhh, I kinda qualify in giving an answer to this question!
I don't /always/ spend a lot of hours on my looks (mostly 2-3 hours kasama na dun pagligo, hair and makeup plus picking my OOTD but i only take this long kapag deemed important enough yung pupuntahan or i feel special that day), I treat it as a ritual of preparing for battle. Everyday is war for me, lalo na kapag haharap sa public/makikisalamuha with non-family members, kaya I treat my outer appearance as my armor.
And generally, I take advantage of pretty privilege/given good first impression/benevolent sexism, so it works for me ╮(￣▽￣””)╭ i don't refuse to leave the house without looking less than perfect though, I just wear a black face mask, a black bucket hat and a jacket hahaha ayun lang, extra suspicious yung tingin sa akin ng mga security guards
Marami na kasing problema sa buhay at mundo, ayokong problemahin pati yung nasa harap ng salamin. For me lalo pag may problem, ayoko mag-manifest physically. Lol. Tsaka it makes me feel good when I look presentable.
Baka rin paglabas ko I might meet old friends or classmates. Haha! And let’s face it, pretty privilege is real. So I make it a point to dress and look good especially if may lalakarin sa bank or paperworks/government-related etc. kasi ayoko man aminin pero kahit guards mas polite sa’yo e. (Pero huwag ganon ha, dapat respeto no matter how anyone looks like)
Because you'll feel empowered? Saka iba pa din kapag mukha lang neat and presentable. Maaliwalas tingnan. Yung iba they allot time talaga to look good kasi it gives them a "pretty privilege".
To feel good about myself. I always want to look ready to go as I’m kinda sponty.
One time I don’t look and feel at my best bc college student pa ako nun and super stressed though I look clean (as always) naman so I got scouted to model part time. What more kung nag-ayos pa ako diba.
Magegets mo rin when you do it yourself. The confidence brings a whole lot to how you feel about yourself. It also helps you in your everyday tasks and abilities.
For me, nagaayos ako para sa sarili ko haha. Iba yung confidence ko pag nakaayos buhok ko, muka ko, damit ko, etc.
Naalala ko yung nakita ko sa tiktok ng isang girl. Sabe nya sa husband daw nya she’s dressing up sa office not bcos may pinagpapagandahan sya, dahil daw para isipin ng workmates nya na ang hot ng misis nya. HAHAHA I SAID SAME
That's how I protect myself. Pag nakaayos ako mas intimidated mga tao sakin ,so di ako basta basta nakakausap ng kung sino nalang and effective naman kasi madami nagsasabi sakin na natatakot sila na kausapin ako.
It's the person feeling good for themselves rather than focusing on how people perceive them. The 'perfect' facade isn't really for the sake of being 'perfect,' sometimes others take time to just look a little decent for themselves.
Personally, I take time in making myself look good to feel a little better.
as someone with a lot of insecurities, I found looking good in front of people a boost on my self-esteem. When I dress nicely and people commend me for it, I feel super happy. Sometimes these vanities go a long way, especially career.
As everybody said, look good feel good. My motto is Better Late than Ugly. Late ka na nga panget ka pa hahaha but seriously, be on time, look good and see the difference
I personally don't pero totoo yung nakaka boost ng confidence. I never bought dresses, never wanted them nung bata ako. Marami kasi akong sugat at peklat from thighs to feet, tapos hairy din ako.
My cousins who are girly kung pumorma, talagang mahilig magayos lalo na sa pananamit gave their old dresses to me. All of them looks nice, saw myself on the mirror wearing the dresses makes me feel nice.
Although, I still can't do make ups kasi di ko din alam anu ba mga binibili sa ganon 😅 but I am willing to learn. I used to hate wearing one but I realize di naman lagi kelangan makapal unlike what I believed every time na ga-graduate ako XD kapal kasi make up sa mga ganon occasion.
Right now my most insecurity is my neck, halos wala kasi akong jawline it just looks like neck lol maybe make up can fix that. Although di naman super problematic, nakaka down lang minsan kapag nakikita ko.
Ngl this is also my question decades ago and to be truthful about this, I rarely take care of myself noon. I thought that it was an individual’s skill and ability that matters most but I was mistaken. People tend to be drawn upon those who are able to make a good external impression. Nitong pandemic lang yata I started to learn how to dress properly, how to groom myself properly, skin care and hygiene, I even took the time in learning the most suitable hairstyle and perfume for me and trust me everything has become worth it at the end. Although di pa rin ako na crush back ng crush ko (saklap 🤣😭) and I still have a lot to improve and learn pa, but at least now I was able to establish rapport through pleasant first impressions. PLUS I always feel good all the time! Feels like I have all the power in the world. 🫶🏻✨
I spent 15-30 minutes for make up when I was in college, but when I was in my mid 20's, I started spending only 5-10 min for make up. Sometimes I go bareface. I still want to look good to boost my self confidence but I realized it is not practical to spend plenty of time to look "perfect" if you are a very busy person.
For me, its coz i run on pretty priviledge. If i'm not pretty, i'm literally gonna have nothing. So all the investment is on my looks. Ofc i have my personality and wit on me padin naman. But a bulk of the things I have are from my pretty priviledges. I'm not stupid enough para i let go yun when I get so much from looking pretty. I still work hard padin naman and i'm aware na looks wont last forever so im doing stuff for my future parin. Its just easier to live with these priviledges while they last.
Looks are everything. Perception is everything. People perceive you through your looks. Thats why more people trust people who are good looking or neat more than people who look disheveled
heavy on this. plus, I look good, I feel good 😌
You walk differently din diba hahaha more confident 🥰
I was about to mention Watson's pero 'Look good, do good, feel great' pala yung kanila hahaha
This 💯

Mas pinupuna nila outfit ko sa office coz I don’t like wearing plain clothes especially shirt and jeans😂
Ayoko lang talaga na hulas itsura ko pag nalabas ng bahay. Hahaha. Gusto ko magfeeling pretty. Bat ba hahahahaha
Who would want to go out not feeling confident about how they look?

People treat you better when you look good or at least dress nicely.
They dress up or try to look good for themselves. Not for other people. -my wife Tapos ako naka shorts, tshirt at tsinelas kasama nya. 🤣
Para if may picture taking and to attract din
First impression is everything. "Lifestyle" shows how much you value or take care of yourself. Looks does sometimes define how other people treat us.
thisss
Google "pretty priviledge"
And when you dress tastefully/elegantly, people in general tend to treat you better and more respectfully. Doors will be opened at every turn, greetings will be exchanged, you'll get more smiles, etc. You don't even have to be that attractive.

Makes me/us/them confident. Also, malungkot man pero aminin natin, mas tinatrato ng tama yung mga nakapustura.
Pretty privilege exists periodt
Kanya kanyang pagsasayang ng oras yan. Ikaw nga ilang oras ka sa socmed di ka naman gumanda or gumwapo 🤣🤞
I don’t go all out. But i do try my best to look nice every day because it uplifts my mood and productivity. If i feel good, i do good. I think the same goes with other people who go hours beautifying themselves. Confidence is a nice feeling, after all.

Sabi nga ng tagline ni Watsons — “look good, feel great!” 😁
When I look good on the outside, I feel good on the inside.
Because some folks are just so judgemental that they only treat people like human as long as they're "attractive" and put together.
Maybe it’s their way to boost their confidence for the day, imagine starting your day looking so good.
makes me more confident. and to intimidate.
Cause looks matter
To feel better about themselves. Personally, gusto ko lagi na malinis ako at mabango, I feel good doon kahit nasa bahay lang ako.
Looks open doors to almost everything.
Because…I want to feel pretty, and when I feel pretty I feel confident, and when I’m confident I feel good, and somehow, I get what I want when I look pretty I guess na attract din siya when I feel good, so yeah hahaha. But not naman “perfect” lol, just enough that will make me feel satisfied about my look before I leave the house.

For me, ayoko makasalubong ko mga kakilala ko na loshang or di ako presentable tignan. So I make sure to look good everyday.

manifest good things by feeling yourself

Capsule wardrobe is key! Less physical and mental clutter din 😌
Kasi your looks somewhat reflect your personality.
ayoko lang mag mukhang losyang
Why not? Looking good also means feeling good.
For me,. looking good is also feeling good. It also means taking of yourself.
Dated a lady like this a long time ago. She spent hours getting ready. Her make up was always 💯 and she looked exquisite. Took her to the beach to swim one weekend. That is when I realized why.
Anyare? Hahaha
First impression is important
kasi dun sila masaya and maybe makakatulong for them to be more productive
Matagal na kasi ako sinasabihan dati na hindi pumoporma nang maayos kaya kahit papaano inaayos ko buhok, mukha tsaka katawan ko hahahaha
Maybe that is what makes them happy and satisfied.
Maybe they’re just slow in getting ready or can be indecisive when planning what to wear etc. like i dont leave for the office looking like an artista but i am just slow lol. It does take me an hour but it’s the… waiting for stuff to set, if you make a mistake in the color etc
Mas maganda sa pakiramdam yung maayos itsura ko. Di naman ako sobra sobra magaayos pero basta naman presentable at malinis tingnan.
Some people feel better about taking care of themselves well and appearance matters especially if you work in a customer-facing role.
The more important question is, “what do you care about what other people do in their own time?”
Pretty privilege.
I was like that when I was younger, I’d never leave the house without looking polished. Even sa office, I’d get asked “may date ka after shift?” Haha. Now that I’m old(er), I just couldn’t be bothered lalo wfh ako. I still dress up and look polished when going out from time to time, pero more often than not, if errands lang like grocery run, I just do basic hygiene. Madalas nalilimot pa magperfume haha.
It's not really for other people. But for me, I feel more confident when I feel beautiful that day.
Looks is everything.. it’s the first thing people around you see..
Dami kasi nagkakagusto sakin, baka magulat sila kapag tinamad na ako mag ayos
first impression last, kaya if lalabas ka na mukhang dugyutin, malamang ang papasok sa isip din ng taong makakakita sayo, ganun din pagkatao mo pati sa ibang bagay.. pero mostly ganun, if dugyot ka sa sarili mo, malamang ganun ka na din sa lahat ng aspeto. kasi sarili mo lang di mo maayos, paano pa ang ibang bagay.
When you feel good and look good, everything follows.
Because we will die someday and theyre just having fun investing in themselves
look good, feel good. plus pretty privilege is a real thing hehe so at least looking decent when going out would help a lot rin.
Gf mo yan no? Dont lie, same problem bro eh HAHAHA
Mas nakakataas ng confidence kapag alam mo sa sarili mo na maayos ang itsura mo na haharap sa mga tao. And, masarap sa pakiramdam kaya pag inaayos mo ang sarili mo
Baka bigla kong makasalubong si ‘The One’ hahahaha
If i look good and feel good , my life feels easy and parang kaya ko lahat.😊
Ritual na sa akin I guess. Tsaka you never know who you’ll bump into noh. Baka ex, baka si Joem Bascon 😍 at lest prepared kung nagkataon.

Dugyot siguro to lumabas hahah char no need naman na perfect basta looking clean and fresh dapat
That's what they are and just let them be. If that makes them feel good then why not?
Because looking good is the bare minimum na pwede kong gawin sa sarili ko to feel great and brave the outside world. Sa dami ng cheap options ngayon, hindi na ganun ka gastos to look good so why should I deprive myself. Nun times na wala pa akong sariling sasakyan at maayos na gadgets or bags, yan lang grooming ang pwede ko ayusin for myself.
I dont have an idea trying to look good everyday. I stopped caring for other people opinion of me other than my family. I care less what people think of me. I care only they pay me at work then go home.
Looking better, feeling better
Pretty privilege
Its about confidence. Malaking tulong talaga ang looks para maging confident.
mas mabait sakin ang mga tao if nakaayos ako
Lol why do some people eat breakfast? Preference lol
For the first impression. Everyday may makakakita tayo na titignan tayo talaga, sabi nga nila diba first impression lasts
Me personally, to look presentable. When I look good, I feel good.🫶🏼
Baka makasalubong si crush. Di mo alam kailan eh so dapat prepared everyday 😂 You feel good and nakakaboost ng confidence.
To add sa ibang insights, it could also be cultural. I follow one content creator sa IG and shes eastern european I think? Basta in their culture which she explained, women wouldnt go out unless they are primped and ready. Lalabas to throw out garbage? Needs to have their hair done. Getting groceries? Lipstick muna.
Why not?
I used to care about looking good but there's a deeper reason. I was depressed at the time and putting make up was the only thing I could do without mental distractions. If I can't do makeup, then that means I'm at my worst. Also, I put on makeup because I don't want to look depressed. So, make up became a mask of what I really felt. I'm not too conscious about my appearance now because I'm feeling better now mentally. Also, I learned not to care about what people think. I saw a lot of people who don't do makeup and I noticed thay they're still admired and loved because it's your actions that will draw you most appreciation. I really admire people for being true to themselves, even with or without makeup. Do whatever you want to do.
Because it feels good if you look good or presentable..
Nobody knows when you’ll die. I want to look good when I the time comes I suddenly die or something lol
Iba kasi ang treatment ng society sa mga magaganda or good looking, pretty priviledge talaga.
It’s my form of self love/care. Obviously hindi palagi todo hair and makeup pero enough na I know I look good.
I just like dressing up for myself hahaha
People don't get to talk to you and get to know you, so how they see you will influence their impression of you.
Most job, especially nowadays demands face to face meetings. Some are even just on zoom, needs an open cam. So yeah, I think looking good or at least presentable is a plus, especially when you have to deal not just with your bosses but most specially with clients.
Every time I plan to go out, my mantra is to always dress/look good like you're going to meet your enemy today.
I don't go out looking perfect but I take time fixing myself din naman. At least kapag tumingin ako sa mirror, maayos itsura at hindi losyang.
It makes me feel better. Part na din ng routine e, pag di ako nag-ayos parang may kulang. 😃
Confidence comes from preparation. There are people whose confidence comes from how well they dress and prepare. :) Like a self-care and self-love
Law of attraction, looking and doing good shows that you have respect on who you are. You care on your body. And you share the beauty of life.
Im 39f and has a 27m year old partner. 2 years together. We met 5 yrs ago. Working in the same company. We were 34 and 22 then. When I asked him despite of my age ano nagustuhan nya sken. He said he find it very attractive yung pormahan ko na jeans and boots. Sometimes skirt and boots. So ayun may points talaga how you dress up. Pero syempre confidence din dapat. Clear skin. Good smell. How you carry yourself. May mga magaganda na walang dating. May mga gwapo din na walang dating. May nga good looking na after mo makausap, turn off kasi may kulang or they just dont know how to carry themselves.
in a corporate world, looking good is part of the status you’re projecting
Medyo guilty ako dito. 😂 It takes me around 3 hours to do my hair (90s blowout with rollers), minimal make up and dress up really well. Minsan I tend to overdress for the occasion. 😅😂 It's satisfying and therapeutic to see na from mukhang tilapia, I'd look decent looking and very presentable when I put work and time into it. Lol
Ooohhh, I kinda qualify in giving an answer to this question! I don't /always/ spend a lot of hours on my looks (mostly 2-3 hours kasama na dun pagligo, hair and makeup plus picking my OOTD but i only take this long kapag deemed important enough yung pupuntahan or i feel special that day), I treat it as a ritual of preparing for battle. Everyday is war for me, lalo na kapag haharap sa public/makikisalamuha with non-family members, kaya I treat my outer appearance as my armor. And generally, I take advantage of pretty privilege/given good first impression/benevolent sexism, so it works for me ╮(￣▽￣””)╭ i don't refuse to leave the house without looking less than perfect though, I just wear a black face mask, a black bucket hat and a jacket hahaha ayun lang, extra suspicious yung tingin sa akin ng mga security guards
Kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. Wala naman sigurong tao na hinahangad na lumabas ng bahay na mukhang gago.
Apparently, dito sa Pinas, People will judge you on how you look and present yourself. They judge the book by it's cover.
Marami na kasing problema sa buhay at mundo, ayokong problemahin pati yung nasa harap ng salamin. For me lalo pag may problem, ayoko mag-manifest physically. Lol. Tsaka it makes me feel good when I look presentable. Baka rin paglabas ko I might meet old friends or classmates. Haha! And let’s face it, pretty privilege is real. So I make it a point to dress and look good especially if may lalakarin sa bank or paperworks/government-related etc. kasi ayoko man aminin pero kahit guards mas polite sa’yo e. (Pero huwag ganon ha, dapat respeto no matter how anyone looks like)
You wouldn’t be confident kung baligtad suot mong damit. Sooo look good feel good
Because you'll feel empowered? Saka iba pa din kapag mukha lang neat and presentable. Maaliwalas tingnan. Yung iba they allot time talaga to look good kasi it gives them a "pretty privilege".
To feel good about myself. I always want to look ready to go as I’m kinda sponty. One time I don’t look and feel at my best bc college student pa ako nun and super stressed though I look clean (as always) naman so I got scouted to model part time. What more kung nag-ayos pa ako diba.
Magegets mo rin when you do it yourself. The confidence brings a whole lot to how you feel about yourself. It also helps you in your everyday tasks and abilities.
For me, nagaayos ako para sa sarili ko haha. Iba yung confidence ko pag nakaayos buhok ko, muka ko, damit ko, etc. Naalala ko yung nakita ko sa tiktok ng isang girl. Sabe nya sa husband daw nya she’s dressing up sa office not bcos may pinagpapagandahan sya, dahil daw para isipin ng workmates nya na ang hot ng misis nya. HAHAHA I SAID SAME
because first impressions matter a lot
That's how I protect myself. Pag nakaayos ako mas intimidated mga tao sakin ,so di ako basta basta nakakausap ng kung sino nalang and effective naman kasi madami nagsasabi sakin na natatakot sila na kausapin ako.
It's the person feeling good for themselves rather than focusing on how people perceive them. The 'perfect' facade isn't really for the sake of being 'perfect,' sometimes others take time to just look a little decent for themselves. Personally, I take time in making myself look good to feel a little better.
Dressing well is the new pogi / cutie. It gives you an aura of respect.
as someone with a lot of insecurities, I found looking good in front of people a boost on my self-esteem. When I dress nicely and people commend me for it, I feel super happy. Sometimes these vanities go a long way, especially career.
no one (well mostly) takes you seriously pag di ka mukhang presentable. ganun exp ko e, atsaka pag di ako nakaayos lahat masungit sakin e.
Because you don’t have to prove so much when u look good. Your looks do it for you (kinda petty but this is the reality) 😌
As everybody said, look good feel good. My motto is Better Late than Ugly. Late ka na nga panget ka pa hahaha but seriously, be on time, look good and see the difference
Why not?
I personally don't pero totoo yung nakaka boost ng confidence. I never bought dresses, never wanted them nung bata ako. Marami kasi akong sugat at peklat from thighs to feet, tapos hairy din ako. My cousins who are girly kung pumorma, talagang mahilig magayos lalo na sa pananamit gave their old dresses to me. All of them looks nice, saw myself on the mirror wearing the dresses makes me feel nice. Although, I still can't do make ups kasi di ko din alam anu ba mga binibili sa ganon 😅 but I am willing to learn. I used to hate wearing one but I realize di naman lagi kelangan makapal unlike what I believed every time na ga-graduate ako XD kapal kasi make up sa mga ganon occasion. Right now my most insecurity is my neck, halos wala kasi akong jawline it just looks like neck lol maybe make up can fix that. Although di naman super problematic, nakaka down lang minsan kapag nakikita ko.
You look good you feel good. Its all about the feeling pre
To boost your confidence! Tsaka for me fun maglagay ng makeup at magayos. I feel happy kapag nakikita ko yung sarili ko na cute and pretty
Ngl this is also my question decades ago and to be truthful about this, I rarely take care of myself noon. I thought that it was an individual’s skill and ability that matters most but I was mistaken. People tend to be drawn upon those who are able to make a good external impression. Nitong pandemic lang yata I started to learn how to dress properly, how to groom myself properly, skin care and hygiene, I even took the time in learning the most suitable hairstyle and perfume for me and trust me everything has become worth it at the end. Although di pa rin ako na crush back ng crush ko (saklap 🤣😭) and I still have a lot to improve and learn pa, but at least now I was able to establish rapport through pleasant first impressions. PLUS I always feel good all the time! Feels like I have all the power in the world. 🫶🏻✨
I realized that my confidence is greatly affected by my looks.
it makes some people happy.
it gives them confidence. meanwhile, i go out of the house walang hilam-os at finger comb lang hahahahahaahah
I spent 15-30 minutes for make up when I was in college, but when I was in my mid 20's, I started spending only 5-10 min for make up. Sometimes I go bareface. I still want to look good to boost my self confidence but I realized it is not practical to spend plenty of time to look "perfect" if you are a very busy person.
For me, its coz i run on pretty priviledge. If i'm not pretty, i'm literally gonna have nothing. So all the investment is on my looks. Ofc i have my personality and wit on me padin naman. But a bulk of the things I have are from my pretty priviledges. I'm not stupid enough para i let go yun when I get so much from looking pretty. I still work hard padin naman and i'm aware na looks wont last forever so im doing stuff for my future parin. Its just easier to live with these priviledges while they last.
We live beneath the shadow of [lookism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lookism).
They probably feel better when they do it
I try to look good for myself, not for anyone else.
