i like what averett said... but that's not always the case.
I had a girlfriend a couple years ago whom I met at a JSA (junior statesmen of america) convention. We were playing hacky sack and she joined in. She had candida which is basically an allergy to sugar the symptoms of which was terrible acne... I can't say I was really attracted to her at first, I wasn't even considering her as a potential girlfriend... but as time went on and I got to know her, I started liking her quite a bit and got her number (first and last time I've done that, actually).
so really, first impressions do help... but for me they don't always set the tone for my interactions with other people. I always strive to see beyond the face, into the person within. In that case I'm glad I did.
