We were taught not to judge a book by it's cover,

but how can we not?

It's almost a basic survival instinct,

to look and make a judgement of something's suitability;

the stronger the one's eye, the better the chances of picking the right food,

running away from potential harmful situations

and etc.

This applies to those amongst our own species as well,

that's why god gave us our own unique appearance;

a physical sense of identity.

I also believe it delivers more than that -

it has an influence on how the person has been brought up,

hence what he has gone through in life,

and ultimately the person he has become.

Certain facial features are indicators of particular personality traits;

eg. someone who doesn't keep their mouth closed when it's not being used would appear less self conscious, attentive as one that does -

therefore, whether a face is attractive or not isn't a shallow judgemental process of someone's character, but a very primal check-up done at the back of everyone's minds,

prior to further approaches are being made.

Does that make sense?
