If you need help, there should be no discrimination as to any of the above things.. but I would say that most people will discriminate anyways.

Socially overall, all of those would matter. People look at people and immediately judge them. I always see people getting treated differently based on gender, appearance, age, and/or clothing size. I don't think it's fair, but it's reality.

Personally, I think the rotting teeth would be a problem since that's a hygeine problem unless if there is some genetic disorder. Other than that, it would purely depend on how healthy your lifestyle - if the person had a healthy lifestyle for themself, then none of those other items would matter.

I think that the physical appearance is unrelated regarding whether or not you are willing to help someone. I believe it is the personality of a person and how you are approached that ultimately determines whether or not you are willing to offer your help. Having once been really overweight, I also used to believe that people wouldn't help me because of my weight. What I have realized, however, is that I was simply making excuses because, in those times, some people were caring while others were not. The weight (or any other element of a person's appearance) are truly unrelated.

A hot, young, thin girl will get help much faster than an ugly fat chick. It's just the way things are. Sorry!

I would like to think it wouldn't matter how you look, but truthfully, I would have to say it depends on where you are more than what you look like if I would help you. Does that make sense? If you were a homeless guy/girl in a bad part of town, don't think I would even stop to see if you needed help. Now if you were in a better part of town, your chances are better. At least in my book.

I saw on oprah or what was it called... oh yeah dr phil that these people did a test right? and then first, the guy dressed normal and asked for help and stuff at a local mall, all these people came up to him. He went to a bathing store and the lady went up to him right away.
then they dressed the guy up really ugly and then this is what happen. He asked for help, and then no one would help them, and at the bathing store it took 15 min for the person to come up to him.

So it DOES matter.

it shouldnt, but some people care a lot about looks so they make that stuff count for a lot when it only counts for a little. It all depends on the person really. So, no it shouldnt matter much

Depends on your personality. Are you fun to be around or boring? Are you easy going or hot tempered? All of the above and the items you mentioned also depend on the type of partner you're seeking. One which is caring or one who is shallow?

If someone truly needs help most people would try to help them. If you want to attract the opposite sex you need to try to be at your best. There are a few snobs who don't know what to do with unattractive people and do avoid them.
