People don't comment on it out of politeness, but they do notice. Then, consciously and unconsciously, they draw negative inferences about you. They might suspect that you are not well organized or that you are lazy. You are free to be unbothered by that fact, but their reaction to your appearance is outside your control. It is a slight headwind in your life that makes your interactions with people more difficult than they have to be.

- organsnyder 7y agoEveryone makes snap judgments based on first impressions—the best people are just more self-aware to be able to recognize this in themselves and counteract it.
- sho 7y agoWhen you find a planet filled instead with these "better, less shallow people", let us all know. Until then, we're stuck on this one, where the GP's observations are 100% correct.

- EliRivers 7y agoOne could argue that the people who notice are better people. Turning one's personal preferences into morality doesn't really help.
- scarejunba 7y agoIt's just marketing. For $50 and ten minutes a week for the local cleaners you can appeal to both. Why close off your market?
- krageon 7y agoIf you actually try surrounding yourself with only people that will not see this, I think you will come out disappointed at the size of your social circle. Not to mention that you usually don't get to pick the people you work with. Lots of things in your life touch upon the lives of people that you can't select for. That means it will be inconvenient at some point when you look bad.
