Did you know that appearance matters a lot in human communication? This is because it sends a non-stop message to whoever that's looking. Think of it as a portable broadcast station, wherever you go, your overall appearance sends these signals to whoever in your line of sight. Now that you know of this, your appearance can be manipulated to send different messages. What makes your message stronger or weaker depends on how you 'stand out from the crowd'.
The easiest way to set up a proper appearance is by dressing up. When a girl walks down the road in KL wearing a dazzling dress. She's definitely sending out a message. However the positivity of the message still lies within the receiving ends. People might like it, or people might think she's overdressed to be walking in KL like that. Guys might fall in love with her, or guys might have a lust for her (which is dangerous). Which is why knowing what you're dressed for is important. You don't want to be sending out the wrong messages.
But dressing isn't the only part. Appearance is also strictly governed by behavior. Sometimes, how you behave sends out a stronger or even contradicting message with how you dress. You might be dressed in a suit, with a dazzling tie; but if you can't speak with elegance, you send a stronger and more prominent message to the people around you, and that contradicts the elegant appearance you were trying to send out.
So the next time you decide to go to a public place, think about your appearance. It definitely matters. That's why people can attract people without even trying. Or how someone tries to attract someone but sends out the wrong message. Its all got to do with appearance.
