Summary To ask friends and peers can have advantages as well as disadvantages: You might share some features and goals regarding your appearance and performance. On the other hand there might be a lack of professional knowledge, etc… BUT... ... Everybody is an individual! What is suitable for your friend does not have to be suitable for you as well. Thus: Evaluate friend‘s arguments critically and do not let it be the only source to consider for information!
