          What people look like is definitely a statement on their character. You can always judge a book by its cover, as they say.

                  You seem to be badly misunderstanding this expression. Just because, once one has made a first impression, they cannot change that first impression (any more than we can change any other historical event), does not mean that the impression is accurate. That’s really the entire point of the expression - that, if you aren’t careful about your first impression, you may be judged unfairly, by people who are not wise enough to look deeper. Using that as justification for refusing to look deeper is absurd.
