Do Most People Notice The Tiny Details You Think Mean Something?

     I can go a lot of directions with this tittle. We could go to brand consciousness. We could go to personal hygiene. We could go to habits and mannerism's. Style and demeanor. That is confusing enough to start I guess. 
    Brands have their merit though. They were recognized for the quality and innovation. Making the product desirable and pricey  Here is an example of one of my brand conscious flops. A few years ago I put some Michelin tires on my commuter bicycle. I thought people would really think that I am cool. But in reality people only seen what was. A fifty something old man riding a forty yea r old bicycle to work because I did not have a car or license. Not for exercise, green planet or saving money. Let alone that it had Michelin tires. So clothing, automobiles, or any other product you can think of has relevance. To some and not others. Brands will generally mean a lot to a small group who dwell on such things and nothing to the vast majority. Next time you get robbed at gunpoint are you going to see if it is a Colt, Smith and Wesson or Beretta? Probably not. Although it would be important to some folks. 
    How about personal hygiene? Am I sharp as could be or stink? Most people will not look if you are dressed to the nines. But will notice if you stink. Somewhere in the middle will work well. Of course you could be dressed well and still stink. I have cut my own hair (what's left) for eight years. I cam to the conclusion that I am still going to be an ugly old man whether I pay $25 for someone to cut it or do it myself. Less than two haircuts will get you up and going with the tools you need. Do you use the most expensive perfume or after shave? Or just a low priced non offensive pleasant sent. Does your hair and skin look clean? Do you smell bad or not at all?
     Let's look at style and demeanor. Do you stand out in a crowd or sort of blend right in? Is your style mainstream or the latest and greatest? You could however dress way old like a leisure suit and a Members Only jacket with a white belt and shoes. Or with the very last word in fashion. 
     Your demeanor also is a detail. You stand out or blend in basically. A person can be loud and obnoxious. Maybe over nice. Or blend in. 
     Everybody is wired different. As we all know.
