It feels like you're halfway there just by maintaining hygiene as you get older

If they don't have bad breath or that sour smell from laundry, there's no sense of repulsion..
Even if their hair is neatly styled and their shirt is crisp,
if they have bad breath, man... and if their shirt flutters and you catch that smell of improperly dried laundry...
Strangely, younger people can get away with it more or less,
but when people in their 40s and 50s aren't clean, it's a huge turn-off.
