    I think you helped me crack it, i think it’s saying that the person who looks like you but puts in more effort to their appearance on the regular is more attractive. That makes sense to me, and would be true in the main for most people, it’s one of the most common things said to people who are struggling to find partners.

    You could take negative connotations from that about that person being vain but really it should be on the cheater for being a fucking cheater.

      Nah. My wife has naturally wavy hair. She goes to work with it blow-dried, flattened, and a little plain-looking. On weekends she does none of those things, and it looks gorgeous and wavy and bouncy. Maybe I just have a definite preference – Even Jen Psaki on the TV - gorgeous already - looks better in her other, more natural style, and she’s probably got advisors telling her to vamp it up.
