There is a long list of psychology research demonstrating that appearances matter more than most us would care to admit. As shallow as it may be, better-looking people have been shown in various studies to have higher self-esteem and more charisma, are considered more trustworthy and are better negotiators.

It's nice to have material things but they're very superficial aren't they?

People might look great on the outside but they all have something that they're dealing with.

People are most important.

The externals are important but I'm not interested in superficiality.

There is this looking at the world as shapes and patterns and colors that have meaning, and you can't deny the superficial because the superficial is what meets the eye.

I feel people care so much about their appearance - which is important, and I do still care about my appearance, but not that much. There's far more to life than that.

If you are constantly making judgments based on superficial affiliations, your world gets to be pretty small.

The word 'superficial' comes with such negative connotations, suggesting that whatever it is applied to has no value. But the emotional pull of beauty for its own sake cannot be underestimated.
