Make-up.
There was once I was telling people how I do not prefer girls who wear (too much) make-up -I was saying, using make-up for professional / courtesy / fun reasons are acceptable, but depending on make-up to define how one looks is not, and as far as I am concerned, I can somehow pick up hints of materialism and / or insecurity from that.
And I found a comrade who expressed this way better than I do!
He approached this from a different angle, but his message is similar to mine, albeit a lot more PC and way watered-down:

無論女生再怎麼化妝也不會比乾淨的素顏更讓人覺得親切。
無論女生在怎麼努力裝可愛也不會比燦爛的傻笑來的可愛。
無論女生的行頭再怎麼名貴也比不上賢慧更讓人覺得珍貴。
無論女生再怎麼扭腰擺臀也不會比跑步中的女孩更有魅力。
最讓男生心動的絕對不是那些外在附加的東西...
那些東西頂多是輔助品，真正讓男生心動的絕對是那最原始的純真。
只屬於女性才有的純真。
SEXY的確是很多女生追求的終極目標...
但是我敢保證男生真正喜歡的是PURE SEXY! [I do not understand this phrase.]
男生真正喜歡的也不是beautiful而已，而是natural beauty！
當然不是叫女生不要化妝，化妝絕對是一種禮貌，甚至是一種變美的藝術。
懂得化妝和打扮很好！有時候能讓自己的際遇和心情都變的更好....
但是我想說的是不要太過依賴外在附加的東西來提升自己的魅力，卻在不知不覺中，忘記了妳本來就有的魅力。
千萬不要覺得自己沒化妝或沒提名牌包就見不得人...
我相信每個女孩都是上天滴下的寶石！
每個女孩都有自己最原始的魅力！
講坦白一點...
妝總有要卸的一天。
假如妳對自己沒有自信，那就算是化了妝、穿了名牌，妳還是只能用面具掩蓋妳自己真正的魅力。
(That which touches guys the most is not all those extras that are external - those things are accessories at most. That which touches guys the most is definitely just the purest innocence. ... If you are not confident about yourself, even if you have worn make-up or branded stuff, you are still just using a mask to hide your real charm.)
He claims that 90% of guys will agree to this.
And I am a staunch supporter - just as I am a proponent for the campaign against bottled water...
