People estimate this almost instantly, at the subconscious level. But how important is this assessment? Everyone knows that the first impression of a person greatly influences the development of relations between these people in the future. The first impression can be made only once, so we try so hard to look good at parties, corporate parties and other places where you can meet strangers. It looks good to look mostly women, although this is not a rule, but rather a trend. It's just that women are showing this a few things. After all, ladies have always been muses, and men are miners and hunters. So at what age is appearance most important and what is the significance of appearance in our time?
Let's start with children between the ages of three and six. This is the most innocent and cloudless period in life. At this time, no, there are no problems and worries, you get everything you want from life. The child does not think about public opinion in relation to himself. He chooses his idols not by appearance, but by the direct relationship of one or another person to himself. If we estimate the value of the appearance for a child of this age on a ten-point scale, he will get an estimate of 1 point.
Next comes a period of seven to thirteen years. At this time the child goes for the first time to school. For this period, the beginning of a more or less adult and independent life. Now he has his first friends-peers of both sexes, the meaning of appearance makes sense to him. For the first time he begins to think of himself as an independent person. Appearance begins to excite him more, because he is in society and must look appropriate. But now it's mainly because of the influence of the parents on the child. They try to instill in their children an accuracy, cleanliness, love of order. Score of 4 points.
Then there is a long life span of 14-25 years. During this period enters into adolescence, as well as youth. This is probably the most difficult period of human life, although the brightest, most memorable, unexpected. During this period, a person develops an opinion about himself, he assesses people around him, creates his own life principles or refuses them at all, there is a reassessment of values, in general, there are global changes in a person, as a person. During this period, appearance is extremely important. The teenager pays a lot of time and energy to his appearance, he tries to look perfect. This desire is quite natural, because now he begins to be interested in the opposite sex. By the end of this period, as a rule, a person is already formed and an independent person, but attention to the appearance does not decrease. And this attention is quite conscious, a man shows it himself, he wants to look good for himself. In our time, adolescents are very cruel, and therefore special attention is paid to appearance. Score 9 points.
The next period is 26-45 years. At this time, a person fully becomes independent and independent. As a rule, at this stage, the conclusion of marriages and the birth of children. Both men and women are less obsessed with their appearance and prefer it to the inner world of man. Similarly, attention to appearance is reduced due to the fact that a person understands that it is not worth building anybody and starting to be himself, as a career and a family have already been created. By the end of this stage, once again, there is a slow, intense attention to one's appearance (a midlife crisis), but it quickly ends. Score 4-5 points.
And the last period is from 45 years to the end of life. Attention to the exterior is minimal, since most people have a large family, a successful career, they again begin to live only for themselves. They cease to attract attention to themselves, because they have already earned enough respect. Score of 2 points.
Thus, the most important appearance in our time for adolescents and young people is due to this attention to hormonal changes in the organism, as well as the period of the formation of personality.
The smallest appearance excites small children, because of the lack of experience of communication. And also older people, do not fixate on it.
