Do you think people's personality often times matches their looks? (sh.itjust.works)

You ever meet someone and after talking to them and getting to know them you think, "yeah, I sort of figured they would have this personality because they look like they would"?

I think people's looks and personality correspond in a few different ways.

One is that people's choices for style and personal care reflect their personality, so having fancy clothes indicate a person who cares enough about looks to put in the effort.

People also can choose to associate themselves visually with different groups, and if they identify with that group they likely have similar values, including those around personality.

Even things someone can't control, such as height, probably affect their personality because it changes the way others interact with them in society.
