You’d be surprised.

I have a friend who is a disability lawyer, and he’s constantly telling his clients not to dress nice or wear makeup.

Someone who looks good instantly appears more capable, no matter what the facts are. These “feeble old men” couldn’t possibly be capable of over powering someone! Or at the very least, their sentence may be reduced if “grandpa doesn’t look like he can handle prison”.

It works. There’s no denying it.
