    Never knew that men gave that much of a shit

    Aren't men scared of going bald? Aren't men scared of being short? Men lie about their height. Men style their hair, they crop out unattractive people from their group photos e.t.c.

    Do you do any of this stuff? If yes, you also care.

      people are not studying your face, obviously, unless you have some deformity, are extremely ugly or are super attractive. But subconsciously it affects their behavior. There are studies were faces are flashed too fast to be perceived and later words are presented positive and negative. The tendency to choose positive or negative is affected depending on what you were unconsciously shown.

      Also even when asked, people will attach positive attributes to good looking and to tall people. And they'll tend to attach negative attributes to bad looking and short people. Research the halo effect.

      video on halo effect based on looks. It is automatic, instinctive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEho_4ejkNw
