I'd like to chime in here, I've learned that people in general use their eyes 
before anything else. If Mr Nice Fireman walks around in ripped pants, torn 
shirt, and drives away in a dented rusty pickup, people will tend to 
first-sight judge this guy as being lazy or someone who doesn't care about 
their appearance (ie, a slob). If his car is trashed, maybe his house is a mess
too, etc... that's what goes through peoples heads. 

A lot of women spend large amounts of time to 'look good'. They like and
respect those who also seem to spend an equivelant amount of time on looking
good. 

I think one can either go against the 'system', or take that extra bit of time
to look and feel a little better about yourself.

Hey, it works for me. :)
