Do You Fear Rejection? That’s The Key To Look Good!
When your friends invite you for an informal lunch or get together, do you feel that you look less dressed up than them?

Interestingly, you may overlook their true caliber and attribute the credit to their good looks.
Overall women showed greater sensitivity to appearance rejection than did men. It was particularly true of women who felt they needed to look attractive in order to be accepted by their peers. The rejection based appearance sensitivity is more visible among college students and middle-aged women.
