Do you judge people based on how they look?

[Deleted]

What I mean is, do you judge them based on how they look, similar to people you've met before?

For example, you once met a nice guy then years later you meet another dude who looks very much like first guy, only... let's say he's a bit taller and his eyes are a bit longer? Do you consider him to have a similar personality like first guy even before actually talking much?
Or you met another dude who had a long face and a big straight nose and he was a jerk and years later you see another that looks like him, do you consider him to be a jerk too?

Well I guess I do, I am usually cautious when hanging out with people that dress like gangsters or have tattoos lining their bodies, the stereotypical thug. I am not as cautious anymore but I still do go slowly because I haven't had the best experiences with them.

[Symphonic]

Yes. I assume women who wear skimpy / revealing clothes to be scumbags and makes me feel bad they abuse their bodies like that. Same with those guys who wear their pants at their thigh and wear wife-beaters.

i used to when i was 17 .. not so much now that im 37

I shouldn't, but i do. But then again, i'm from Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales. You see someone who likes like a cunt, he's usually a cunt. My mother always told me that if i'm not careful the way i look at people will get me a punch in the face.... will probably happen one day.

I'm sure everyone does to some degree, whether it is conscious or not.

I don't 'judge' people by how they look, however how they look can tell me a great deal about them.

First impressions matter, if someone looks like someone else it's impossible not to draw comparison between the two. Naturally once you get to know the person better and better looks matter less and less.

[anveena]

I would love to say no, but I'm fairly certain I do to some degree.

[BoysBoysBoys]

As soon as we see someone we've already analyzed and judged them.

To answer the question I definitely judge people based on appearances. I'm generally nice, but I can be thinking the worst things about them. ❤

[DeltrusDisc]

I used to more than I do now, I try pretty hard to not judge, but it is human nature after all. I try to just keep the judgements to myself.

Same with those guys who wear their pants at their thigh

But it's so comfortable.

Unfortunately, I do. But it only tends to be when those people dress up and/or act a certain way. I think it was Dave Chappell that did a skit on something like, if you dress up like a prostitute, expect us to treat you like you are one. The same goes for Firemen and Police officers.

Here is the skit that I was talking about. Also, it might be considered NSFW. Just a warning.

[Djuntas]

I dont, I useally base them off what they talk about, or if they are doing something.

Like today at the bus station. Classic example of a good old hillbilly. Talks crap with some semi-attractive girl, really just...wow, shut up. Wearing clogs, work-cloth that looks quit rubbish, sitting on a beat up Scooter. I never looked at his face propor trough, I dont steer at people or try not to.

I think everyone reflexively does, the key is to filter your first impression through your brain and create a suitable impression based on that.

[CheeseDoodlez]

wearing a cap with the sticker still on it? "wannabe-gangster" detected.

[Deleted]

I don't judge people based on how they look, but I do take it up for consideration if I have to talk to them or meet them.

[smelltheglove]

judge? no. draw some basic conclusions or form certain expectations? yes. if i see the girl with the dragon tattoo i dont assume she's a bad person. but i also dont assume shes an investment banker

[Ryme]

Of course you do, it's common knowledge that you make a hell of a lot of assumptions and decisions in the first minute of seeing someone. What people wear is incredibly revealing, it tells you what that person is OK with presenting themselves as.

If someone wants to walk around with their ear lobes blown open, for example, I will judge them for that decision.

[Drekker17]

No I actually don't, even when I meet identical twins I don't think they have similar personalities. I judge on what each individual wears and stuff though.

Did anyone else read pass the title?
