To clarify some things: The “greasy” guy isn’t the biggest masmid. The greasy Yeshivish guys are just those that have given up interacting with the world in general. They speak in mumbled sentences, wear the same clothes all week, and rarely shower. They may be smart and talmidei chachomim, but not necessarily. Most Yeshivish masmidim I know are well respected and dress normally.
