I don't think so.

I think Wolfy is more popular because she is ugly, so she get's more sympathy.

100% agree. If Wolfy was drop dead gorgeous she wouldn't get the reaction she's got so far.

I think that although it seems superficial we do make first impressions based on looks... that's just normal behavior.
Not in a negative way though, I expected wolfie to be very grounded and not easily influenced by others......wrong.

[Rihanon]

I think everyone is influenced but would prefer not to be.
If you used public transport most, wouldn't sit next to the man that reeks of stale urine. Who also has knotted hair and talks to themselves.
If most were going to a garden party with the Queen and Sallie was there dressed like she was in the house you'd think their was something wrong with her.

That's right. We all have prejudices.

Welcome to the forum. I love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

Im white so i usually support white people you would get jumped on by PC nobheads
What if i made a comment about black people being loud and irritating is that ok?
(Im not racist or anything sometimes i support black people too)

That would be jumped upon as being racist yet you feel free to say those things? this is a ****ed up world we live in.

I knew I would get comments like this, but at least I'm being honest. No point denying it when it's true.

There is nothing wrong with what you said but if the roles were reversed it becomes an issue im not having a go at you in any way just at the one sided way in which these things are perceived by people with a chip on their shoulder.

[Jamesy]

I think looks certainly do affect how you perceive the housemates.

Sallie could be tagged as chavy. Gina could be tagged as uptight. Hazel could be tagged as glamorous. Wolfy could be tagged as dirty.

Sure it's very stereotypical but we all do it. Looks are always judged. Until you understand the person looks is all you have to go by.

[Kazanne]

Well in all honesty,a bit,BUT,I hope they turn me round,unfortunately the likes of Sallie always prove me right,i have this notion girls who dress and look like that are shallow,rude and ignorant,and I've not seen one yet who's proved me wrong,I also always feel abit sorry for the big ones that aren't so attractive as things ARE based on looks in the media,I usually root for whoever I think has a raw deal on there no matter what they look like though,if that makes sense.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I personally don't have an issue with people's personal preferences, as long as they don't become hateful towards that person just because of their looks.
