First Dates - Is it okay for someone to make zero effort with their appearance?

Honestly, it's totally up to you. In the current dating climate, many women are choosing to make low effort appearance for a first date.

The primary reason I've heard is the prevalence of ghosting and last minute cancelations. It takes women a long time to glam up for meeting (showering, shaving, moisturizing, skincare, makeup, hair, clothes, etc). Personally for me this process takes about 1.5-2 hours and requires a lot of product (ie $$). So it's frustrating when you put all that work in for someone, or multiple people, to not show up.

Attending a first date with a low effort look removes this investment of both time and money for something you can't be sure is going to happen in the first place.

Just a different perspective, from a woman.
