First impressions aren't always lasting

It happens to everyone. You meet someone at a party and think "Ho-hum." He or she is definitely not ringing bells on your personal scale of attractiveness.
But the next day you find you have both been assigned to the same project at the office. You work together for several hours each day for two weeks. And at the end of the time, you're thinking, "Wow, what a beautiful person."
Allure magazine reports a study confirming that your perception of people's looks changes as you get to know them. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked 15 people to rate one another on looks and personal traits.
At the end of a six-week cooperative project, they took another reading. One woman who began with a 5.07 out of 9 on an attractiveness rating fell almost a point when her personality number went from 6 to 3. Another woman's 3.25 on looks rose to 7."There is more to beauty than meets the eye," said the study's co-author, Kevin M. Kniffin.
