How much do you think your body influences how someone treats you?

Definitly. Pretty Privellage is a thing. Especially in customer interfacing roles and interpersonal relationships.

Initial attraction always reduces conversational friction.

I'm still young enough to be viewed as a potential sexual conquest.

It’s not just the body, I think height and smile help as well. The mind only matters after the initial visual impression. That’s why I enjoy dressing well too.

It gives you a first impression head start. That's a fact.

More than it actually does

I'd be out right lying if I said my looks at some point haven't determined how somebody has treated me. Good and bad.

I think people with little intelligence and who lack maturity and manners and common courtesy will judge your body and treat you according to how they receive you visually. It's their problem, not yours. Unfortunately, society still puts a lot of stock into how people look and not how they behave.

I have a theory that it's less about your body and more about what you project to the world based on what you feel about yourself. Walk with your head down, closed body language, speak quietly and behave in a timid way and people will judge you more on that than if you are confident, sociable and assertive. 🙂
