    There’s no advantage of spending half an hour in the mirror every morning doing your hair applying stucco and paint on your face, yet most people despite lacking a real practical purpose, prefer not to be seen in public looking like they just escaped the bataan death march.

    A made bed airs out faster than one that’s not. The exposed bits of mattress might air out a tad bit quicker but there is no way that compensates for the area that has the bunched up duvet on it. And you mention effort. I have to shake out the duvet maybe two or three times to have it on my bed relatively straight.

    This litterally takes like 5 seconds and the room looks infinitely more cared for. Nobody is that short on time.

      thats completely false theres massive social benefits to having a presentable appearance. have you not heard of pretty privilege? the opposite also exists. looking like shit has a massive social cost. people will treat you worse, fail to give you the benefit of the doubt, refuse to help you, in some cases even refuse to acknowledge your existence. no one is going to see your messy bed and judge you for it, but they will absolutely see and judge your face looking like shit.
