Importance of First Impressions - From "Blink"

There is a former NY Times best selling book
called Blink.  It's a great book, a definite
'must-read'.  It is about the importance of first impressions.

The key idea of Blink, is that we humans make
decisions almost immediately, whether we
realize it or not.

It happens at a subconscious level, and
happens in the 'blink of an eye'.

Often Overlooked Importance of Your Appearance, Especially First Impressions

Have you heard people tell you that women don't care much about a man's appearance? Well, a person's appearance is NOT important, that's true.

Well, that's certainly partially true, but only if you're talking about long-term relationships that have already been established.

When it comes to first encounters and first impressions, it's COMPLETELY UNTRUE and they are damn important!

In a first encounter, men and women place EXACTLY the same amount of influence on the looks of the opposite sex.  If you're in a club, for example, you're most interested in talking to the hottest girls.  The less attractive or average-looking girls are usually an afterthought.
