yeah, people try to look more presentable when out in public, but around the home they don't care as much. you see this more extremely with women, where they'll put on make up and look smashing when they go out, and then at home they'll look like a completely different person because they're not all made up. but guys do this too. i care about how i dress and look when i am going to go out, but if i'm just hanging around the house or if i'm in my dorm room, or sometimes even going to class, i just don't give a crap and wear the pj pants, a ratty tshirt and sport the just-woke-up hairdo.
or maybe is it the lighting? lighting changes the appearance of facial features because of the shadowing and all that. i remember there was a seinfeld episode where jerry was dating a chick that looked hot in most lighting, but there were certain situations where she'd look hideous.
