I don't fully agree with this. I'm a fat ugly girl and people talk to me like I'm trash and stupid. This NEVER happened when I was skinny. People have always treated me like dirt because I'm ugly, which apparently makes me not worth their time. Yes, there are people this shallow in the world. There are studies on perceptions of people vs reality. They've even rated people on looks vs intelligence and popularity and success... Based on nothing more than photos. Many con artist and white collar criminals are incredibly cunning and charming, and can convince you of their greatness while robbing you of money. I trust my dog with first impressions more than I would a humans.
