No matter what you look like, intelligence and being well spoken trumps all.
Worst advice ever. There are plenty of douchebags I've met who've "acted as if" and don't come off as anything more than idiots to everyone who meets them.

if im honest id say im somewhere in the middle, some people seem to take to me, some people dont and vice versa of course. What im intruged about though, is how some people almost effortlessly get more respect than another from a perfect stranger or someone they barely know, perhaps after only a few words. Why is this; somethings the coldness of it pisses me off regardless of which side im on at the time im generally aware its petty and founded upon screwed up human mentality for most part..


What do you think are the factors here and to which degrees...

Reputation?
Appearance?
Body language?
Conversation?

How approachable or fun you come across etc...?



anyone have any examples or comments?
Look and act like Fedor.

People aren't respecting you, they are just wary that you are gonna try and steal their food.
