Appearance Standards

 

“Yes, a person’s appearance definitely talks.  The well-dressed person’s appearance says positive things.  It tells people, “Here is an important person: intelligent, prosperous, and dependable.  This man can be looked up to, admired, trusted.  He respects himself, and I respect him.”

The shabby-looking fellow’s appearance says negative things.  It says, “Here is a person who isn’t doing well.  He’s careless, inefficient, unimportant.  He’s just an average person.  He deserves no special consideration.  He’s used to being pushed around.””
