Our society is based on a very superficial culture, a well dressed, stylish man portraits an image of success and believe or not, trustworthiness and reliability, how can I trust you to handle a client properly if you can't even manage your own day to day appearance and, to the extreme, which is rather common amongst new immigrants, personal hygenie is often compromised...

the dotcom era brough in the "wear your underwear to work is cool" notion, that's a twist on the tradition, it is by no means the main stream or what people perceived success is.

after my mumbling, the message I am trying to deliver, is that I am putting money in your pocket...

go get a hair cut, wash your hair before it turns visibly repulsive, do use make up, and invest in a new suit...
