Do you respond differently to attractive people?

They say first impressions are everything. Do you feel that a persons looks, not the way they are dressed or anything, contribute to a first impression? Do you think that, overall, people who are attractive are treated better than people who would be considered unattractive. Have you ever been guilty of this? Have you ever been treated differently because of your looks?

I will admit, that I react differently to being hit on by someone I find attractive and someone I don't find attractive. I usually won't be rude to either, unless they are just being piggish, but I will generally smile more and engage in more conversation with the attractive one.

I do think first impressions are a lot. Not everything. But definitely a lot. However I don't think any of it has to do with "looks" as much as grooming, dressing, etc. After all, there is no universal "good looking". There are men out there some might find to be a real "hottie" that might be the furthest thing from what I would call attractive. Same goes for women.

I probably have been guilty of treating someone a certain way because of their general appearance, but not because of their "looks".

As for myself, I've been treated all different ways. I've had men drolling down my back and ones that wouldn't look twice. I think that is normal for just about everyone. Now, I got every job I ever interviewed for (or was offered the job, even if I chose not to take it) in my lifetime. MAYBE that was because I was the better groomed of two possible qualified candidates. Hard to say for sure though.

I respond more favorably to the well groomed and well dressed. I tend to distrust the super handsome or beautiful people immediately, but then let the personality determine my feelings thereafter. I am one of those people who "clean up well". I notice that when I'm in nice clothes and have the hair and makeup done that people respond more positively to me. So, it's not the looks, it's the presentation!
