You probably are on to something about his character. I just think we have to be careful and subtle about how we make that point.

I think you are correct. Dr. Steinberg wears no make-up and has that serious look I often so in female science majors I went to school with.

She isn't really unattractive, except when compared to people with professional hairstyles and make up treatments.
