pretty people know pretty people

this is a synergy effect which probably can be explained by psychologists but in my case is based on observation of others.

how can this synergy effect be used to the advantage of creative minds? the synergy effect of good looking folks probably can be explained by first intuition. we would usually not mistrust not a person that we are alike. but today's global communication is (unfortunately awefully lot) online on a variety of plattform, social media and alike. so it might be even more important to present yourself in good light.

a couple of questions arise:
is this attitide too superficial? should we always give a profile a second look? do we have the time for that?

what other methods are there to connect? (online conferences with more than 20 participants?)

whats your thought on this?
