I'll always remember this one Gentleman who walked into our sales booth at a homeshow some years ago... He was a visible minority in clean jeans, flip flops and a button down long sleeve shirt. No one would serve him, they'd all pretend to be busy and ignored the chap. So I hurried up and finished with my customer while asking for his continued patience. I treated him just like any other person who walked in and everyone I meet in general... with respect! To make a long story short, the best sale of the day, he pulled a wad of cash that I'd NEVER seen before... of course I stared... He must have had 30-40K on him cash... all 1000$ and 100$ bills. Being the ballsy kid I was, I asked him outright what he did for a living. He said... Your booth.... my building. On the flipside... I can't tell you how many times Gucci boys credit card gets rejected. I've had similar experiences myself John....NEVER judge a book by its' cover...... butt, butt...I always look good Butt, you're not the only experience I've had babe... I have tissues....The kind with lotion

Old saying goes: "Clothes don't make the man". Ummmm no... That is a misquote. It's Mark Twain: "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

You are right its not a quote; its a proverb clothes don't make the man An aphorism meaning that you cannot judge a person solely by his appearance. Usually pertains to men.

Old saying goes: "Clothes don't make the man". or the woman, or the child, or even the french poodle..... I will call bullschitt on that. The lazy slobs who invented the crap line of "clothes don't make the man "...was some dumpy slobs who was living in sweat pants, Crocs and a t -shirt while living in mama's basement. I guarantee...if you dress nice and smile..people treat you nicer than the bum in the Chili stained b'itch beater.

When I look around, I see gangsters dressed like gangsters, bankers dressed like bankers, hookers dressed as hookers and so on. I fully believe that you absolutely can judge a book by it's cover about 90% of the time.

Think of it this way, dressing well can open doors. But, you still need the personality to back it up. However, people do make snap judgments and if you don't look the right way, you'll never have a chance to show your personality.

Sure, if you dress nice (clean jeans and tee is nice} and smile peeps are going to respond more positively then if you don't....that is not the same as saying "cloths don't make the man"....Sorry, but cloths don't change the inside of ANYONE and to think they do is kinda stupid in my book....
