People I value won't care if I have a non-standard hairstyle or wear clothing that doesn't fit well, I used to think. After cutting my hair and dressing better, I found that this is not the case.

To be clear, I think weird but fancy is great with the right audience. But being unable or not very good at presenting a non-weird image is a bad mistake. I underestimated how strong an image I projected to non-nerdy people. I think many other nerdy people underestimate the strength of the image as well.
