Not to be superficial, but we all know that looks are important in this world. Some people are famous based solely on their appearance. For us average Joes, appearance is vital for many reasons. First of all, the opposite sex judges us on our looks right off the bat. Before you can utter a witty opener, he/she has already sized you up and formed an opinion. Appearances are also important in the business world. A presentable and desirable individual stands a much better chance of closing a deal or of keeping the attention of someone relevant. We have come up with the four most desirable features on both men and women. Now, we obviously had to choose features that both sexes possess, so please don’t write in asking why boobs weren’t on the list!
Smile
A good smile can electrify a room. Throughout time, people have been either captivated or duped by a person with a good smile. If you are a fortunate individual who can flash a great set of teeth, then your life is probably much easier to live than someone who is afraid of smiling for fear of scaring small children. A smile can convey many things. You can show someone just how genuine and sincere you really are with a good smile.
Eyes
The eyes are very subjective things when it comes to appearances. Some people will think you have great peepers that shimmer and sparkle in the night, while others may just deem them to be average. Generally, blue-eyed people receive more compliments on their eyes than any other color group. The eyes can also demonstrate the amount of warmth you offer. Men and women with “deep” eyes are considered mesmerizing, while those with “cold” eyes are considered scary.
Hands
Clean hands are something that many people look for during a first impression. Those with clean fingernails and well-groomed cuticles are instantly considered more desirable than a person with greasy fingers and dirty nails. As you use your hands to gesture during speech, they are important tools in grabbing the attention of another party. Furthermore, don’t underestimate the importance of the handshake. Some even judge man on his ability to deliver a good handshake.
Waist
Like it or not, the size of your waist is a factor in your everyday life, especially with the opposite sex. Keeping yourself in good shape shows that you take pride in your appearance. Certain professions can be made or broken by appearance. A fit person will always have the advantage over someone who is a little long in the waistband. Why? Well if you are in great shape, you give off the impression that you have more energy and are more self-confident.
And so…
While it’s impossible to change certain things about yourself, never take your appearance for granted. Looking after yourself can only help you in life. It never hurts to be more presentable, no matter what you do or where you are from. Accept your flaws, embrace your strengths and maximize your appearance.

As much as I'm impressed in your form of writings, I strongly disagreed your concepts. I will give you one credit; smile..the rest are prejudice. Life is not at all white collars where you can maintain soft hands,manicured nails, good balance diets to a fit waistline and dental benefits to keep up that white flashing teeth.
My wise Grandpa used to tell us, if you want to know a hardworking and dependable person just look at their hands and feel the calloused palms..these are the people who dares the hardship of life, not hesitant to do hard labor just to survive and pursue their dreams. My Grandpa also used to say that women with well manicured long finger nails are lazy..maybe he was right, I don't keep long manicured nails myself coz I have to do house chores at home. I just keep my nails clean.
There are millions of less fortunate people who cannot maintain good appearance, you must have a desk job to be able to do it. Oftentimes they come home tired and weary, eat, sleep to face another battle of life the next morning. Good appearance comes with nice clothing as well. Some cannot afford it.
I just want to conclude my never ending opinions, the most essential things that everybody can afford to posses are good heart, the ability to smile no matter how difficult life maybe and good inteaction with your fellow. I know one successful Realtor who make millions in his field, he's short, big waistline crooked teeth, not good looking but he has the most pleasing personality through his smiling face, good talks, sincerity hardworks and self confidence. So folks..good appearance only benefits in entertainment industries or eslwhere where the good looks are needed. In everday ordinary life, it is how we handle and present ourselves, use
the brain, hardwork, determination and the charms to win ( you don't need the looks again to be charming)..it's the smile, make lots of difference, it brightens the world.

Very well done Mr. Gonzaga, professionally written and presented. By the way are you considering of writing seriously? I think you should..you have the skills and I can feel the passion on it.
Excellent blog, i agree that good appearance boosted self confidence, your critics here is considering facts in general terms which is also true. Everybody has different opinions to express which make the topics more interesting to read rather than those monotonous comments of praises without sharing their thoughts.
if a smile is displayed by a child or a beautiful woman or a well-dressed individual or normal everyday people, then it is considered a charming smile.
I remembered one story, two beggars after a day's hardship in the streets, they earned at least 100 pesos. they decided to go inside Jollibee to try the famous chickenjoy.
they're already in the line when somebody noticed them. Though both of them are smiling, people scattered, ran to the other lines just to avoid them. if not for one good samaritan who helped them order what they want, they will not be able to try that famous chickenjoy.
what I mean, is that if smile comes from different individuals such as beggars, special children, senior citizens, etc., then it is not acceptable for so-called normal people, of course, with some exceptions.
That is very true Kurimaw, in this modern society of hypocrisy, people are fascinated by the looks..only people with good heart can see the beauty of smiles of people from different walks of life. It is sad indeed how this so-called modern society have become. ..how I wished..am dreaming of Utopian world for us, then there will no miseries.
correction: there will be no miseries.
That's right Mel. a smile means so many things.
only very few individuals can decipher a good man behind a smile. this is a very complex form of gesture. this doesn't mean always happiness. & in this modern time of ours, people usually use smile as a form of deception. some people smile when the boss is coming, some politicians smile when in front of electorates. etc. etc.
one thing for sure..it is hard to face your problem if your problem is your face.
the previous comment is funny but sort of reality..
true indeed that good appearance is a plus A but for me its the skills that counts the most.
hey..i read the first comment somewhat posted by a fundamentalist, I like that!
that's right chikedee.
also in the issue of hands. clean hands are definitely nice, but we should consider also the hands of those individuals working in the farms under the heat of the sun just to provide food for all of us.
the hands of those who took our garbage, clean our backyards, etc.
also, some people in extreme engineering like oil riggings, skyscraper builders, heavy equipment overhauling, definitely have not so good-looking hands but sometimes they earn money more than us.
we differ in opinion on what is essential and whats not, thats why it is equally important and worthwhile to figure out our definition of "good personality" which is very subjective and often dependent on our current appreciation of everything that is happening around us.
when a blog stir a reaction from its reader, then its a good one. Kudos to boysie for his excellent writing.
