Consider this: maybe it’s not the raw material you find unattractive, but the presentation. Have you ever noticed how some neighbors’ lawns are always neat and well-manicured while some others are always overgrown and strewn with trash. The way those lawns look tell you a lot about the way the homeowners feel about their surroundings. The lawns that always look nice look that way because they are being cared for by their owners, while the lawns that are always shabby are obviously not being taken care of.
The same logic applies to your personal appearance. If you care about yourself, you take care of yourself … and it shows. Conversely, if you don’t take care of yourself, you probably don’t make a point of making sure you always look your best. What that tells others is you don’t think very highly of yourself. Sure, all of us are guilty of slumming sometimes. But if looking trashed is your normal M.O., you will be perceived by others as someone who doesn’t care about herself. Others will reason that if you don’t even care about yourself why should anyone else bother to care about you.
