Overall reactions are more determined by strength  of

Ah the wish of every plain or ugly looking person (myself included). Alas,  
studies constantly show that appearance has a long and substantial effect on  
human reactions. I believe the latest shows that good looking people make  
15%-20% more earnings than non-good looking people.
 
They also live longer.
 
And yep, I am aware that a cause and effect relationship has to be proven  
before A+B=C. Nevertheless, given what a visually oriented species we are, I'd  
think it pretty much common sense that appearance makes a huge and 
long-lasting  difference on inter-human relations.
