How important is your appearance to you?

Hi dear well i like to dress neat and clean, and want to look tidy and presentable, though i dont shave daily, but once i am out of home for office for any functuion, then its Ok, i am not that self concious to adjust my hairs. or check my dresses. Take care

What a pertient post! To be honest, I just try to wear neat and clean clothes and do not remain much conscious about my appearance. I know it is ultimately going to be my behaviour and interaction, which will be more important for the other person. If I talk to a person in a sound and convincing manner and make him feel my presence felt, I think, that will carry more importance. Sometimes, I just do not bother even to comb my hair, specially after getting down from the vehicle. I know that I look handsome and smart so if anything is here and there, it does not matter, I'll win the heart of that person........LOL!

My appearance is very important to me.I was taught to be very neat from my childhood and I always have it inside me.I spend happily for my cloths and accessories that make me look smart.It is my second nature to be fresh and smart always.

Hello Rose. I think that I pay attention to my appearance when I have to attend an important occasion. A good appearance makes me feel more confident, so I think that it is very important to me. Have a good day, dear Rose.

Hi Rose, I am not much conscious about my appearance. But I dressed up neatly. I prefer to be 'simple'. I don't like to wear much ornaments like a 'typical Kerala lady'. For me neatness and cleanliness is important.

yeah...you are right we have to be a bit conscious about ourselves while presenting to others....i'm a bit conscious i should say, but this should not have any effect on our confidence ,but no matter you are good looking or not you should have confidence this is all that makes difference ...whats the use of looking good but shying away from others or being arrogant .....?

Hi Rose, I don't think I would be totally self conscious...but that doesn't mean that I am not bothered at all. I like to look good and dress smart. I don't worry too much about appearance all the time....but I like to take the time to look neat and presentable...and am a little self conscious when I haven't done that (that does happen sometimes).

I am always clean, neat and tidy in my dress or at least that is how I start me day off. I also shave every day that I am at work or if my partner and I are going out somewhere. When I am driving the truck and making deliveries I am actualy representing my employers so I feel that it is important that I be as well presented as I can. As I truck driver I do not wear the sorts of attire that say someone who works in an office does, but that does not mean I can be sloppy in my dress and appearance either. Basically I have 3 different types of clothing. One is a dark blue shirt and long pants plus steel capped black boots for when I am driving the truck. Another is when I am working around the farm and those clothes are generally ones that once I used to wear when driving the truck. When the clothes start to look a bit shabby and worn then they become farm work clothes. Finally there are the good clothes which I wear when we are going out somewhere to see friends or whatever. Regardless of the clothes and their particular function, they are always clean and ironed before I oput them on. I always take severa changes of clothes with me when I am away from home driving the truck and I wear a clean set every day. There have been times when my clothes have become dirty during the day while I am making deliveries, so when that happens, I will change into a clean set. It has nothing to do with vanity but simply that I have a responsibility to my employers to be well presented, i.e. clean and tidy. Nothing annoys me more than to see someone who is at work but looks like they need a darned good wash and some clean clothes.

This depends on the people .For example, when I was conducting classes in my own centre, and an institute where I taught English to CAT aspirants, I used to dress up very neatly in classy sarees .I have not really groomed myself but I just wash my face well, gently powder my face and adorn my forehead with a sticker . The way you dress, the way you talk, and the confidence you exude always played an important part and these were all an assorted bunch of students, -some really good, some deluding themselves to be brighter than they were and the pathetic ones. Whatever they were they never hesitated to ask necessary, unnecessary and smart Alec questions and the manner in which you conduct yourself contributes a lot.When you dress well it makes a good first impression. After that you have to prove yourself. But appearance does play an important part while talking to customers too.So, I believe in appearing good and neat when I present myself to potential clients and students and when I go out.I love to acquire new sarees and enjoy wearinjavascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMainContent$lbStart','')g them though half the time I loiter around in a simple nightgown/maxie at home. But I am not self conscious and do not worry about my appearance when standing in front of people.I just get carried away by the conversation, whatever it is, because I am basically a big chatterbox. When I attend weddings and I dress up in a bit of finery I become self conscious because I am totally hopeless in doing my hair .I feel bad that I look incongruous with my hair slightly out of place .That lasts for a very few minutes and as I mentioned earlier, if I meet some good friend of mine then I forget everything and chat [to my heart's content] When I normally go out, I just do not bother too much though I just go neatly dressed and with hair combed properly.

Well, i am not really that self conscious... as long as my clothes are clean and presentable... my hair is not messy... i don't smell... and my face is clean... even without make up... i am okay with that... I am already confident in talking to people... even to those who are superior in terms of profession...

The appearance is quite important for me. If I look worse, I think it will somewhat have an effect on my confidence. I love China

Hi Rose o8, I am quite worried of my appearance in front of other people, I make sure I am wearing the right clothes, and some makeup if it is necessary. I also wish my hair was good, because it is curly at the ends and looks like bull's horns and I want it to be straight. However, I do not have much time to spend on my looks, also I feel I can get vain and proud when I do so, so I only worry about clothes and hair, and pay less or no attention to makeup except for work activities...Thank you. From, Celin777

not important at all. I would love to answer that out loud. But its not 100% true. it depands on the occasion, if I need to dress up, I will. but if not, I will just be myself

i always wanted to look good physically in front of people, because i don't wanna be criticize by others. sometimes i get conscious if someone stares at me, i think it's normal to get conscious if someone stared at you.
