I think people often tend to treat drastic deviations from standard appearance as an indicator for undesirable character traits.

If you are badly groomed as a man, you tend to be perceived as careless.

In my experience if you are obese, people think you lack will power and discipline.

Changing how people view you for the better always has an influence on your personal success.

first sentence is one step from outright discrimination even if not everyone recognizes it. if you’re visibly transgender/queer, have noticeable accent, visible disability, and on and on and on
