First Impressions, One

 
 
 
 
You’ve heard it said that you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

The fact is that when a person first meets someone else, he or she makes a judgment about them in about four seconds.

Moreover that judgment is finalized within 30 seconds of the initial contact.

 What is your first impression of the following examples of dress or appearance? Why? Have you ever seen such people? Why are they like that?
