I'm afraid that this is basically human nature, particularly at first meeting. There is something hardwired that causes us to pay more attention to attractive people. Or perhaps it is acculturation, heroes and heroines are portrayed in stories and movies primarily as attractive people and therefore we maintain a cultural bias. Over time, I would have to say that I believe that with me things even out. I react primarily to the person's personality after I get to know them so that their sincerity, honesty, dependability, way they treat others and industriousness count more than their looks.

I would say no, and not necessarily. I think the character and
presentation of a person is important than good looking types.
However, if one is not good looking, but have a pleasant and honest character and well behaved, then I'm happy to meet
that person, irrespective of man or woman.
For some people, they would treat them differently between a man and a woman, if both fit the above criteria. They may
treat more for a woman than a man.

I will be very honest with you...my answer is yes (only at first sight)! BUT it is all back to his/her personality. If the good look goes with his/her good personality i will treat them even better. But if it doesn't forget it. Sometimes people that is not so good looking have better personality than the good looks. After knowing them better of course the personality outshine the looks.

According to sociology (the study of human social patterns) Humans generally do treat pleasant looking people better. They also attribute more positive things to their personality. Sociologists have done studies where people were asked to look at different people and make assumptions about their personalities based on this. The assumptions they made were more positive for the people they were attracted to. (Mind you, they never met the people they were making assumptions about)

It depends.....all else being equal, yeah they would probably get a better response from me. But the instant that somebody seems to have an attitude about being good looking, I go into full contempt mode; I can't help it. Attractive and humble gets everything, but arrogance- I wouldn't even spit on them if they were on fire.

No, but it's only because I prefer talking to better looking guys so I don't give ugly guys as much of a chance to be treated poorly, if you want honesty.

No. Physical appearance does not dictate whether I should be more friendly or cordial to good-looking people as compared to others. I treat them fairly.

Nope, I treat good ppl better than icky ppl. Personality shines through and that's what makes ppl beautiful. Of course you have to know how to see it...
