I know alot of people would say a persons attitude is influenced by the way they were raised.
I believe that but I also believe a persons attitude is influenced by their looks. I mean, If I were to go out not looking my best, in fact, probably looking my worst, I would not be sitting up the straightest or making the best eye contact. My confidence level would shrink.

Both are true.
A person's facial expression and body language usually reflect their attitude at the time. That's why people with a positive attitude have a smile on their face and their posture demonstrates a willingness to greet you.
A person's attitude frequently is driven by their appearance and their self-image. The complete range from preoccupation with their beauty to withdrawal due to their hair, clothing or effects of illness will produce differences in speech or openness to others.

Although appearance creates a first impression, with the exception of extreme physical characteristics, it is a persons attitude that creates our perception of them, so it is our attitude that influences our appearance.
The article 'What Makes You a Sexy Person' (http://www.buddyandoscars.com/intimate_nights.htm) gives a good example of how it is our attitude that makes us attractive and appealing to others, since a person's sex appeal is not something we can see, but something we perceive based on a persons attitude about themselves.

Attitude is a choice. We don't choose our looks. Our attitude toward ourself and others is probably better if we think we look our best.
I choose to have a good attitude today, even if I am having a bad hair day.
Love you!

Both, but moreso attitude influenced by looks.
Someone can be ugly literally because they are always frowning.
Then you can have someone beatiful who has a bad attitude because they think they are bettter by everyone else.

the looks, since is the first thing you percieve, then you make your own basic opinion on the person, after you get to know them your opinion starts to be more thorough, if its a commonly good looking person, who, pardon my frech, is a bit over confident, it's common your'll find them cocky and annoying...then no matter how good they look attraction is less intense....but if you meet a regular looking person, with an approachable personality, you'll probably more attractive to them, since you can see yourself spending more time with that person, though there's always the case where, the "screw personality, i'm horny" state of mind comes to play, where, obviously there are more pressing matters than a long-lasting thing...right?

I am rather unconcerned with my appearance, and to me it is something I keep up on mainly to increase my likelihood of attracting a mate and not coming off as a slovenly, unkempt person. My mood at the moment has little to do with my appearance at the moment.

I don't know about any one else; for me it is attitude. When I smile I look prettier in comparison to when I don't, so I smile most times.
