Although I came across this post too late, for my (tiny) upvote to count, I still feel compelled to comment...

To vote for c-squared as witness as announced in the post on @c-cubed, I thought it would be good to know a little bit about the people behind it.

I have encountered @Carlgnash a number of times since my very first days here on steemit and have a very high opinion of him. That's why I liked the initiative from the get go and have a good feeling about my witness vote.

To get to the "pretty face"... of course, even with Carlgnash's photo as fierce competition, your's is by far the most attractive in the witness post.. at least for a straight guy, I should add. But why would it matter?

Ok, in this case it doesn't, as you present yourselves as a team with all your individual strengths. And voting for witnesses just for the looks of someone would appear somewhat questionable in my eyes.

Speaking of eyes.. we are very visual creatures and for me as a visual artist, that aspect might be even more important. I think the attraction to a "pretty face" is a very basic concept, not only in human nature, but nature per se. It gets the attention. Keeping it, is a whole different story.

We live in a time with a sort of image overload. We have gotten used to the pretty instagram face, edited, streamlined and omnipresent. But to me it seems like the attention span it gets is becoming shorter and shorter and if there isn't more to it, you are instantly forgotten (which gives instagram a whole new meaning)

Without the brains, the looks won't take you very far, as @eveuncovered states (and does) so well.

So, even if it might have been the picture, that got me curious to read this post, it is what you say (write) that keeps me interested and curious for more... 😎
