____________________________________________

A person's appearance is multi-dimensional and physical attractiveness is the prevailing dimension.

Realities of physical attractiveness comprise a phenomenon with values, order, and consequences far more than meets the eye. The related Appearance Phenomenon--that is powerful, pervasive, and too often unrecognized or denied--impacts every individual, throughout every community, across the United States and around the world.

These realities connected to a person's physical attractiveness exist throughout life--literally from birth to death, from cradle to grave--and, increasingly, even before life begins. It is not limited to a particular sex, age, race, income, or geographical location. It affects males and females, young and old, rich and poor, white and black, small town and big city, and all other people regardless of demograpic and socioeconomic descriptor.

The Appearance Research Institute (ARI) is devoted to research, advocacy, and assistance, concerning Appearance Phenomenon with specific focus toward physical attractiveness.
