I feel like my clothes affect the way people treat me. I wear all black most of the time. With jet black hair and a few tattoos, I guess I look a little intimidating to people. When I wear black, people approach me less. Even on taxis, the drivers usually don't talk to me. Store clerks don't smile at me or say much. Seniors at school don't approach me or say hi. People also stare more.
There are days where I wear cream, white or a pale blue. On those days, people are generally a lot nicer to me. Taxi drivers would engage in small talk and be really polite. Elderly people would approach me for help and store clerks would approach me to give me free samples. Seniors at school would wave to me and talk to me about school.
I don't know what it is, though. Could be aura or vibe.

I'm considered good looking in an adorable way, which makes everyone behave in a cutesy manner with me and people working in customer service are always kind to me. Little children are always following me and middle aged women like to point out how pretty they think I am. But they mostly tell that to my mother when I'm around. 😂 When I was awkward looking in my teenage though, I was bullied by most people around me and strangers felt the need to tell me to stop eating. I always got bad looks when I was eating something in front of people. It made me feel conscious to the point where I didn't eat anything till I arrived home at 4PM. People in customer service were also less kind to me. This overall made me hate humans on a large scale.

I am petite. Sometimes, I get ignored when a taller person asks the same question as me let's say I go to a store and the salesperson will go talk to the taller one. I am Asian and a white woman will need assistance, most likely the white girl will get helped first.
It's not just the appearance that makes or breaks us, but your attitude and confidence when you look good. I remember playing sports with old equipment and clothes was ok. but when I got a new uniform or expensive cleats or nice, quality stuff, I played much better, looked great, had more confidence in my play and received more attention. Same goes with life. If you have the confidence, you can be average looking, it's true. Having a new outfit makes you walk bolder, smile more, feeling good and it shows in your actions and speech. Be happy, smile, helpful and curtious and people will give you a second look. Now add clothes and you are a star.

I have long hair and big beard. People say that I look like a viking or a biker. People are scared of me. Like they usually try to advoid me, I have people cross the street so they won't need to pass by me. No one asks me to help them with stuff. I like it like that since I'm not a people person. Unfortunately women seem to be the same way and usually the women I like have no interest in me and the women who are into me I have no interest in.
I wouldn't change how I look tho. I mean I easily could. But I like how I look and I do it for me. Hell what other people think.
Well everyone wants to be Mariano Di Vaio, but i wouldn't change a thing.
I've never been treated negatively at any rate, not sure if i've been treated positively can't really tell. I'm generally friendly to most people and most people are friendly to me which is personality not looks.
How you look has a huge affect on how you are treated. If you look like some who appreciates good mannaers you are more likely to recieve them. Dress shabby, unkept hair, dirty teeth, bad nails, worn out shoes and on and on. It all says something about you. Your clothes fit you, man or woman, it says something. Shined shoes means something. Unless you are a cowboy or girl you should have clean nails. So how you look will also affect the way you act. You want to be treated good you need to look good. I don't mean pretty. Wear a T-shirt with a cuss word on the front it says a lot.

I m fat guy with darker skin complexion. Yes it has deep impact on person's self-esteem and t social treatment. I was initially thrown into this by a an attractive girl who was elder than me, just one year older. I was kind of prudish but then my parents played a deeper role in making me different from others with my behavior which. Have inherited from my father. I was silent boy since childhood. I gave importance to teachers and academic life more than any other student because I had nothing to do except study eat play and sleep. Then I left playing because people didn't like like the way I played. Then I started gaining weight and became looking ugly, thenI started getting depressed. My father's behavior changed towards me since my sister's birth. Now, this was additional stress. Being a boy who wanted some kind of attention from teachers I always kept my decency and sincerity.
People took advantage and I was called "gay" just because I didn't used to talk to girls.

My parents isolatede from other children like me unknowingly. But this time of my life when I was called gay by a friend of mine who used to sit next to me and we had our school lunch together was the worst time of my life.
This was initially period of my high School and what happened next was something I don't want to remember.
I personally think it does. I don't get treated like the pretty girls. I get called names and people like to play pranks on me. I used to think, once upon a time, that I was at least average looking, but that's not the case. But meh. I think I would slim my face down and have a thinner nose.
when I'm dressed up and feeling it guys are in awe and suck up to me and girls give me death stares. When my hair is up with no makeup and I'm in sweats, people think I'm a methhead on work release. Matters a lot.
I look kind of like a lumberjack. I'm kind of a big guy, I wear a lot of flannel, I have a full beard, I wear work boots everywhere. That kind of thing.
Sometimes people assume I'm a redneck. That's okay because I split my time between rural Indiana and Portland, Oregon. In Portland, everybody looks like a lumberjack and in Indiana, everybody is a redneck. So, it works out.
I got a cerebral "nice guy" look to me. It made me a target for bullies when I was younger. However, it also made me appear more trustworthy so I got away with some crap when I was a teenager. I'm a former professional MMA fighter by the way (got scars).
One thing I hate is that some women on dates feel like they can shamelessly mooch free meals and favors off me. I always got my guard up against this crap and won't tolerate it (I may get screwed on a first date, but never on a second).
This world isn't fair but don't assume that since I'm a straight white male everything is easy.

Definitely get more perks when Im dolled up.
3 guys bought me food in the same week one time. I got a free Subway foot long meal, Chipotle, and a Noodles and Company pasta thing.
I did thank and return the favor to all of them by the way, and def had my own money.
I do get a lot of special treatment when I look prettier.
Quite Honestly I have little sense of awareness for my looks. Female opinions helpful. I married and had 4 kids so I was likable once, at least. I guess I look alright. I weigh 240, 5'10", USMC veteran, definitely know I could stand to lose 40. My take is, lose the weight and it'll boost perception of my appearance to females.
Oh, absolutely! If people think that you are a professional, they will not waste your time. If they think that you are a gorgeous well-put-together woman, they will not waste your time... But God forbid if you have an off-day, because the same people who did not waste your time yesterday we'll piss away a full 24 hours.
In olden days it did matter because to separate a better one from the crowd. Nowadays every ****** ****** began to do it since it became mandatory. I'm not saying it's not important. Yet it indicates your personality a little. What actually matters is your attitude. Attitude is altitude. I can say you should not look strange, isolated , *** . You can be stylish not variety. I prefer classic style.
Sometimes people will be a lot more sweeter to me and more forgiving, there's favoritism and partiality, people are willing to help me more, people sometimes let me get off easy, or come to my rescue etc. So yea, I've gotten special treatment, but it doesn't happen all the time.
50/50 I look okay but we all have our poopy days. People don't tend to come up to me often cause I have a death stare and I speak too formally (when I'm at school)
It definitely affects it if I go out with no makeup my hair in a messy bun and pyjama bottoms people treat me like poor trash but if I go out all done up people treat me like a actual person it’s sad
I get treated with respect and gentleness. I think because I look pretty friendly/happy, modest/shy and vulnerable (assuming what others told me). I wouldn´t change a thing.
I have no idea I think I'm treated pretty nice in general. I wouldn't change my looks because I'm satisfied with it. And I'm used to seeing my face in the mirror. :P
It's not that hard to do. For a relatively brief spell (about 18 months), I was myself overweight until I lost the same amount of weight you did, so I understand.
Well when people look at my teeth for some reason they try to ignore me. Only the top set has some gaps and yet people expect me to be a perfect looking model
Yeah it matters a lot. People do look at you and even judge you. If they feel you're strong enough for the competition then make comment which indirectly leads to your popularity and you need to be smart to handle and grab more attention.
For me, my appearance offsets my average face. People tend to stare at me a LOT. And I sometimes even get the guy equivalent of being catcalled. I don't care though. I like myself the way I am.
Of course it affects the way people are being treated. As quite unattractive person I know people treat me worse that my pretty friends, or they just ignore me.
You date people you find attractive/hot but you don't treat them nicely? Your logic still makes no sense. Good luck keeping a stable relationship with that logic. You will definitely need it.
