It's only depressing if you've been told lies all your life to the contrary of reality.
For most people these things are rather obvious.
It's why business men wear suits instead of plain t-shirts (or worse, hoodies).

It's depressing that it's necessary. If two people present something to me I should be evaluating the something, not the shoulder girth of the people presenting it. But inside my head there is a monkey that doesn't know what geological epoch this is.
You might think we don't need these signals anymore, but I think you would be gravely mistaken to assume that. Instead, it's better to (re-)learn these things and adopt them. Think of it as a form of power. By understanding the instincts that drive human behaviour, you can hack it, by controlling how you present yourself in different situations.
I don't think it's something to complain about.
Sucks to be you then, eh?
