I was a Psych major in college back in the 80's (short-lived...moved on to Computers as they were at least logical [back then]). I had a psychology professor who was rabidly anti-female (he'd gone through an especially bitter divorce). He told all of the guys in class that before we made any decisions about a potential bride we needed to take them swimming and dunk their heads under the water several times to see them without their makeup (in the early 80's waterproof makeup was fairly rare). By doing this we'd really know what we were getting in a partner.
Truth of the matter is, everyone has a false front that they put out for others to see and none of us really knows what anyone else is like until we spend years in a close relationship with them.
Take me for instance. When I go to the beach I put a potato in my swim trunks. The next time I go I'll try to remember to put it in the front of the shorts. The last attempt was a particularly unsettling event.
