You'd be surprised how much emphasis a man puts on appearance.
If you are pretty, exploit your beauty at every opportunity. You don't have to be flashy, but your appearance must command attention. If you are ugly, you can capitalize on it.
"If you are homely and light-hearted and call others' attention to it, they will think you are a swell sport, talk about what a shame it is behind your back and try to avoid appearing patronizing in your presence by not doing anything special for you. If you are strange looking and act like you don't really think so, trying to look as much like the others as possible, they will still talk behind your back, but a little more cruelly. When you are in their presence their guilt at having done so, combined with the fear of weakening your apparent self-confidence, will cause them to be extremely patronizing."
The problem is, neither of these things will gain you respect, just sympathy. There are two different ways people respect. People who are humble and wise will respect you for your achievements, and people who are ego-starved and insecure will respect you through fear.
"Take the Devil's name and play the Devil's game and let people know it, for you are the witch that Ovid cast for the world to see. Learn a skill. Paint, play, sculpt, write, draw, read—so that those who matter will respect you because you are strange, wise and capable. Let your status as a witch be known, not sanctimoniously, as a "good" witch or a "white" witch, but as a stereotyped witch, who has taken her lessons straight from the Devil himself!"
