Do you care what your classmates or co-workers say/think about you?

If you classmates or co-workers do not like you because of you are less attractive would it bother you. There is a guy that I work with and some of the people do not like him because he is not the most attractive. And because he is not the most attractive, he is not well respected by the other co-workers. It seems like in today's world if you aren't the most handsome or the most beautiful, people aren't going to have much respect for you.
