I am a regular jean and shirt guy when I’m going casual, and of course I have the appropriate clothes for work. I’ve had to meet friends couple of times for either lunch or dinner, and almost all the time I’ve been told I dressed down, and that it makes people think so lowly of me. It’s not like I care about what people say, but if two or more people tells you something about yourself, you should always check and think about it.

Unfortunately, it affects a lot. Good looks are directly proportional to good treatment you receive from people you meet for the first time. I have been at the receiving end of a lot of such idiotic meetings- friendly or professional, where I was treated less than friendly (by men & women) if I was in the presence of another gorgeous female beside me. But at the same time, I also feel that for any sensible person, the ‘good-looks factor’ will quickly fade- sometimes as quickly as a few seconds! Your behaviour, presentation and body language very closely follow your looks. It is your charm which attracts people to you, the pleasantness in your personality.. The most important lesson to learn from this is to be the kind of person to whom others’ looks do not matter greatly. Be fit, presentable, smile generously, dress neatly and let your personality do the rest. The more you bother with the looks, the more you lose out on the person’s actual qualities. Any person who has had varied social experiences and is mature in his/ her thoughts will find simplicity and friendliness more beautiful than anything else.
Yes. Appearance has a lot to do with how you’re treated in public, it’s no truth anyone’s fault. It’s simply how the society is structured, and we’re all guilty of judging a book of the cover. Whilst it is true that your appearance can affect the way people treat you, you can learn to manage how these people are reacting to you. Additionally, there are things that you can do to deal with the prejudice that you face. some aspect of the way you look that has triggered an emotional response from the person who is looking at you. This can either be because your hair loss is reminding them of their own imperfections or their eventual hair situation as they age, or because your physical feature has reminded them of someone who they have once had an unpleasant experience with. Whilst none of this justifies anyone to unfairly judge or hold resentment against you, it is important to understand why people are responding to your appearance in such a way because it allows you to accept that their responses are not your fault, nor does it mean that you must change how you look. By educating yourself on how to respond to situations where you feel you are being judged for the clothes you are wearing, or the colour of your hair, you can help to change the way that someone else is thinking about you.
