GOOD LOOKING AND ATTRACTIVE PERSON

Image
Would you rather be called good-looking or attractive? Is there a difference between a
good looking and attractive person? To many probably not but I believe there's a thin
line that separates those two words. A person might be very good-looking yet not
attractive. How is that possible one might ask? Well the answer is very simple; it all
depends on the attitude and personality. 
While working at Express I get a chance to observe people, their behavior and image and
what role it plays in overall appearance. Let's admit it we all judge people at one point
or another. When you meet someone the first impression is solely based on looks. Some
people look at the smile, some at the eyes, some at clothes, hair or height. Even if you
don't want to admit it we judge people on their appearance. Yet that impression is very
superficial and short lasting. When you go home the thing that stands out most in your
mind is not the physical appearance but the overall image and that includes the attitude.
So even though in today's society physical appearnace plays a significant role, it is the
attitude that one projects which determines the overall image. So in order to distinguish
the difference between good looks and attractivness we must see how both physical
appearance and attitude effects each one of them. 
So lets start with physical appearance. The make up you wear, the clothes, shape of your
body, hair are all part of your appearnace. Looking at someone these are qualities we
first perceive. Physical appearance plays a huge role in our society. It helps you in
many ways. People treat you differently when you look good. Let' s look at example. 
Working at Express I've realized that image very imprtant in interaction between people.
It both affects the costumer and the associate. A costumer who is nicely dressed, has his
hair done has an advantage over a person who is not well put together. The sales person
is more likely to approach the well groomed person becuase of the image she presents. Her
look says 'I know how to dress, I want to get some help, so come and help me' I don't
personally agree with this but this is just human tendency to judge people on their
outward appearance. The same thing goes for the associate. A costumer is more willingly
to accept opinion from someone who has a good image rather than someone who doesn't look
professional. The look builds up the credibility but that's when the attitude comes into
picture. Because no matter how both the costumer and associate looks is the attitude is
bad no one will benefit. 
So how does attitude effect our impression of a person. Attitude is a way one acts,
talks, carries oneself, and it also includes personality and inside. Anyone can look good
with right make up, hair, clothes, but attitude makes the person charasmatic. Attitue is
not as superficial and much long lasting than looks. Looks can easily deceive an eye but
attitude shows the real person behind all the material and superficial things. I bet most
of you have seen Jenny Jones or Ricky Lake show, that is about girls dressing too sexy
and provocative. I don't think there is anything wrong with dressing sexy but it's not
the clothes that ruin the whole image it's the attitude. A lot of these girls are very
pretty, have good bodies. The first impression when they come out is very good but as
soon as they start yelling, fighting and swearing their whole good image is gone. The way
they act make them very anattractive. People forget about their beauty- physical
appearance and pay close attention to their attitudes. 
To show that attitude influences our impression much more than looks imagine that it's
Friday night and you are going to a party. You walk in and right away your attention goes
directly toward John, a tall, good-looking guy. Your first impression of him is based on
his looks beacuse that's what catches your attention right away. You start a conversation
but as soon as he opens his mouth you want to walk away. He is very cocky, rude and
vulgar. He has no personality and really bad attitude. So you end the conversation and
talk to other people. Later on you meet Bob, an average looking guy but who has a great
attitude. IT's John's good-looks that attracted you to him yet it's Bob's Attitude that
made you spend the entire eveening with him. That night you won't think about John's good
looks but Bob's amazing personality. 
From this example we see that attitude plays a much bigger role than good looks.
Therefore we could easily say that good looking person has only a great physical
appearance while an attractive person might have good looks but what makes him stand out
from the crowd is his attitude. So which is better to be attractive or good-looking?
I think everyone can answer this question by themselves. So the next time you are judging
someone wait to from your opinion about them until you see their true attitude because
looks can deceive an eye. And please do me a favor don't judge the book by its cover
because you might miss out on someone very special.
