Who will deny that when you meet someone for the first time it is looks over personality?

A logical inevitable part of humanity. When people first meet another it is always pie before any other thought proceed. Put people in a room with pie on the table and tell them they can chose any they wanted, most will go to the pie that looks the plumpest, has the flakiest looking crust and the best color. They are not going to scrutinize if it is the sweetest or had filling all the way to the top or anything like that. They are not going to gravitate to the pie that looks overcooked, kind of flat, somewhat hollow, or with a hard crust. You really will not know what you really have in the pie until you cut into it. The ”good-looking” pie might not have enough filling and it might not be sweet or very chewy. Same with people, the homely looking parson may have a beautiful golden sole but if no one gets past the crust, they are greatly out of luck. When men and women see each other over the salad bow, at a bar or club, on some cruise, etc. they are not thinking “he/she” surely is a nice person with a heart of gold”, they are looking at features and sizing the person up as being worthy of more serious consideration. What first draws you to another person you want to spend close time with is not their personality because you can’t see the personality, you learn that only after they have the right ”pie”. Sure, some people are with a SO that doesn’t look like a GQ or bikini model they usually knew the person first through familiar circle or work, so they interactions over a span of time. Off a first meet who will actually say it was not like pie? When there might be mere moments to grab that other man/woman’s attention, show me how looks do not come into play, before personality?
