I was moved by Mr. Hoffman talking about all the interesting women he had never met because of their appearance. I don't think this only applies to people that one would be sexually attracted to, but to all. Not every person will be interesting to you, but to give everyone a chance to make an impression on you is important. We ask ourselves why we aren't more open, kind people. Why we don't judge someone by their appearance. George Syracuse answers this. We are self interested entities. And as we grow older we regret the missed opportunities to learn a person's story and bond with them. This "brainwash" that Hoffman talks about is all too apparent in present society especially in high school. It's frustrating. To see a judgement made about someone before even interacting with them. I think it is this frustration that should drive us to be kinder people.
