This week we&#39;ll be discussing some dilemmas around looks: If most of our communication is non-verbal, then looks matter a lot. But we&#39;re advised not to put too much emphasis on looks. Secondly, it is said that beauty is in the beholder&#39;s eye, in which case first impressions would have different effects on different people. And coming to first impressions, some people claim that you can assess a lot of character traits of another person accurately only within one-tenth of a second of first meeting them. Yet, do these traits stand the test of time?

Do first impression last?
