That definitely is an issue most women face All. The. Time.
I haven't had to worry about this because I haven't dated in...20 years? Something like that. I've not been asked out and there is no one I like enough to ask out. Then again, I don't meet a lot of people, but that's another issue.
Getting to the head space where you don't let certain things bother you (not just this, but other things, too), is difficult. Usually, age helps with that. Generally speaking, men mellow with age while women become more confident. And that's because the longer you live, the more you realize the stuff you used to worry about isn't that big of a deal. There is also a lot of mental work that goes along with this. None of it is easy. Then again, the patriarchy isn't easy.
