Is our physical appearance really important ?

Since decades, fashion and body shape has been pointed out as important to us, then still today, we must take care of choosing our clothes to be fashionable, not too much, not enough, just in a way to blend in with the crowd. Many people do physical exercises at the gym, either to maintain their health, or to transform themselves into skinny or brawny models of magazine covers.

It can be understandable, you see this person for the first time, and you don’t really know who is she. Let’s imagine this person : she is slim, tall, she wears catchy well-known brands and cheerful. She gives you a yen to talk with her, know more her. And if this same person had the opposite look ?

So if we want to be seen as “great”, we must do like codes and rules impose us, no matter what if it is logical or not, even if many people say “uh, you must dress and look like you want”, such a hypocrite sentence.
