What I mean is that you state "especially since appearance is one of those things which you have almost no influence over", and I'm saying, neither do you over other facets that are used to judge people.
Oh, okay.
I suppose that your point falls a bit short on me, since I don't agree with using MBTI or Temperaments or whatever other system to form judgments on people. I try to avoid judging people, but the times I do judge someone, I tend to form judgments based on a person's actions or beliefs, rather then some arbitrary classification system or some quality that they have no influence over (such as looks, temperament, hair color, etc.).
How do you form judgments about people?

Hm, I would suppose I judge based on how they interact with me and their own achievements.
Two comments:
Aww, I wouldn't draw any hasty conclusions about yourself not looking good. However subjective, have some pride! (Seriously, who made pride out to be a deadly sin? No, have some of it!)
Secondly, I feel like the appearance-as-superficial view is just, well, excessively pervasive in thought nowadays. And I really don't agree with it. To refute a specific point, you say appearance is not(or very little) influence-able. What about temperament, by which i mean MBTI or something of the sort. You really, really, can't change or control the way your mind processes information. With decent self-control and mindfulness, you can perhaps forcefully control your actions, but you can't help what your mind tends to do naturally. (Also, if you try and control every single action, you will let something natural slip through eventually; you can't keep control on your mind at all times.)

I'm sorry, but I'm confused: how does the lack of control over temperaments have pertinence to the idea that appearance is superficial?

"Anyway, so how much attention and care do you put into how you look? Do you, like, put a load of effort into it, or do you just occasionally cut your hair and wash yourself and call it a day."
I used to not, but I spend a fair amount; not too much but I would call it just a bit either. Somewhere in the middle.
"Also, some people care only for appearances. I'm just wondering how you people would feel if someone came up to you and complimented you on your looks? "
I would take it. I don't see what the contempt and scorn for judging based on appearances is nowadays; it still is part of someone.
"What if a friend or someone was friends with you because they found you looked good. What if the opposite even? What if they didn't like the way you looked, and were only friends with you because of your personality? "
Friends are friends. If I trust them enough to be friends, I wouldn't question their motives.
"What about someone else? Do you feel it is "okay" for a person to like another because of their appearance? Even if it's mutual or the receiver enjoys the attention? Do you think it will breed a strong relationship? Could it even be called a relationship."
In fact, I do believe it's okay. As I said before, it's a part of someone! I don't see how enjoying the attention would make it any better or worse. I don't think it'll breed a very strong relationship, especially if the people in question can't stand each other, but our minds do weird things to our perception when we're with attractive people, just saying.
Additional notes:
Recently, I find that I've been seeing owns own appearance as a form of vanity(well, with a more positive connotation, but I can't think of a proper word right now), by which I mean ones own satisfaction. Really, I think it's enough in terms of appearance if you find yourself acceptable, though if others are to judge... That could interfere with it a bit, but I do believe that is a natural thing. Appearance really has a lot of far reaching effect and I don't think it's fair to isolate it on its own.

We're treading on a fine line between disorganized and semi-organized.
The gunlord, briefly forgetting something, pulled the pages of the pamphlet that he ripped out of his pocket and then replaced them back into his pocket while nodding.
W-wait! It becomes my turn when I answer correctly? B-but I suck at coming up with truths. We can play two lies and a truth?

The man seated next to the formerly-alive husband stood up, as this was what he was waiting for.
