I agree that there's a wide range of it, from very shallow to slightly imperfect. But what happens if you wear something that isn't pretty and people start noticing? Some won't like you. Others will notice their reaction and compensate for it. They will think you didn't do anything wrong, and they shouldn't react badly, and make sure to treat you normally. If you don't wear clothes to fit in and be pretty, you only come off (a bit) worse with the people who aren't self-aware enough. In business, it's important to be able to get along with flawed people; they can still be valuable business partners. But in dating, if you are very smart, you don't want those people who aren't self-aware enough; you only want to go out with exceptional people.
