Nobody's Talkin' At Me...

It is quite the Politically Correct thing to say "I like no makeup". In fact, done right, a girl with makeup will turn heads.

It is well known in marketing that people will say things in answering survey questions, yet they will act differently. Two years ago, a company found that people said they would be more likely to click on unobtrusive text ads than more prominant attention-grabbing text ads. The same people clicked on ads at over twice the rate at Ask Jeeves (prominant) than at Google (unobtrusive).

People lie.
