That too. Agreed. I wear mainly black, blue and dark earth colors. I don't like to stand out either.

I keep a decent level of hygiene, but I don't care about physical appearance for the most part, no.

I've started caring about my appearance more and more as I've gotten older (I'm 28 and female).

I'm in a relationship with a person who really likes fashion and buying me clothes, so I have been paying more attention to what I wear. However, he doesn't mind that I dress like a tom boy so there is luckily no pressure!

I care about my appearance, and I identify as a fairly low-maintenance femme.

I love to look nice but I don't bother to look nice or femme up every single day. Mostly I care about being clean and clothed.

As I get older I care about my physical appearance less and less.

I don't wear any make-up at all. Even in my teens when I did occasionally wear make-up I never felt like I knew how to put it on right or that it looked right.

No

The concern I do have is that I wear the same stuff (unless it's a "special" occasion, then I;ll trot out the Star Wars shirt or similar), i.e., having a few shirts that are all the same. It makes me comfortable.

Hygiene is important for me, there is nothing I like better that getting really clean putting on all my nice smelling stuff like body cream and talcum powder and brushing my hair, It makes me feel so refreshed, makeup is an occasional thing for me, wearing it all the time seems impractical But wearing it now and again when I go out I find fun, like a transformation.
I only neglect myself when I am depressed, and I can stay in the same pair of pj's for days without washing

no. my optical sensors are inside my bubble head. i have no tactile sense regarding any aspect of my frame.

i must say that i find "brasso" annoying when my torso has to be polished. my torso is polished by engineers, because i have not the dexterity for that. brasso grates on my frame.

I wear it most days now, since without it I look very ill.
Still, only eye makeup.

My mom has all these things...foundation, and eyelash curlers, that I wouldn't even know how to use.
I still feel like a little kid smearing the stuff on my face.
