Steve Kroft Quotes

Appearance matters a great deal because you can often tell a lot about people by looking at how they present themselves.

Whether it's because of how somebody looks or because of what they're wearing, you kind of assess a person in the first five minutes before they even speak.

You size up someone physically in less than one second - too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too stuffy, too scruffy.

We all know that looks matter. What most of us don't understand is just how much looks matter and how difficult it is for us to ignore a person's appearance when making a social judgment.

Whether you want to admit it or not, people begin to judge you the minute you walk in the door.

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

When you meet someone, you meet their face. It's the most potent part of the body to embellish.

Appearances do matter.

People have such an immediate judgment of me because I have tattoos or because my hair is sometimes crazy.

When I met people they said, 'You do look like a hobo, but you smell really good.'

Looks matter a lot, and it has always mattered. We always judge. I have not only been on the receiving end, but I have also judged others.

I'm fascinated by people's obsession with how they look and how humans really do judge you within the first few seconds of meeting you.

People on horses look better than they are. People in cars look worse than they are.

I think people just probably don't want people to think that they're vain.

People tend to hold on to their first impressions - that's why those first descriptions can be so important. You don't even necessarily look at people that carefully after a while; you just hold on to that early impression.

I notice people that look good.

Finding the physical aspect is important to me because that is often how we read people in everyday life.

A man with a good coat upon his back meets with a better reception than he who has a bad one.

The soul and body are joint-sharers in every thing they get: A man cannot dress, but his ideas get cloath'd at the same time; andif he dresses like a gentleman, every one of them stands presented to his imagination, genteelized along with him.

Men see how you dress, and then make assumptions about your relationship potential.

A good impression is lost so quickly.

People think we really look good. I think that's the biggest misconception people have.

People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore.

A fair exterior is a silent recommendation.

Your neighbors will make judgments about you based on how your lawn and house look, and people who see you passing will judge you based on how clean you keep your car. It's not always fair, but it has always been true. Appearances matter, so make yours a good one.
