Well put, Damon: When I see someone dressed outlandishly, I figure they want me to see them dressed outlandishly, and they have a reason. It's not that they have a low IQ. They may have a higher IQ than I do. If IQ could be accurately measured by how we dress, they could skip all the tests and just have people submit a photograph to someone who had the gift of measuring IQ by clothing or hair styles.
People who make flamboyant efforts to get attention are hurting (I think.) Whether they dye their hair pink or come in here intentionally insulting everyone in sight. That doesn't make me want to be around them, necessarily, and usually they have shut themselves off so much that it's hard to get beneath that surface... whether it's an insulting attitude or pink hair. There are all sorts of ways to draw attention to yourself, just as there are to make sure that no one can really get close to you.
