Do you judge people by their looks?

i can't help myself but yes sometimes i judge people on how they look. i know it's bad that i'm looking at the outside appearance of the person but i can't resist doing so especially when there's someone who's kinda looks weird. hmmm. and sometimes for some security or safety reasons, i stay away from the people who looks strange...

Well its one thing if they are acting crazy its another if they are just a bit unkempt or just not good looking. When it comes to acting crazy of course its survival mode that kicks in. If someone sitting next to you has welts or a horrible rash its not like you are going to touch that person so why not stay sitting next to that person. There are many people in the world that are not beautiful on the outside but are beautiful within, and that is what counts in my book.

yes because that's the first thing you can notice to one person.. If I'm near to a person who looks weird and looks like criminal (sorry, too rude) I will definitely move far away from him.. but then, don't be too complacent to good looking people for sometimes their acts contradict their looks! be sensitive to that. :)

The reason stereotypes exists is because people fit the stereotype. You have a negative run in with someone who looks a certain way, you will unconsciously attach that negative event to the next person you see that fits that appearance. I find that people I get a bad feeling about, tend to turn out exactly as I thought they would. So the bottom line is, yes I do judge based on looks. My judgments turn out correct most of the time. Now the blistering welts, I don't think that would bother me so much. I'll keep to myself, and ignore him.

I do not judge anyone by their looks or color... If I am going to judge when I choose to it is usually do to their personality.... A good personality goes a long way with me.

Hiya abitcurious, Well I would try not to make it obvious that he is making me feel uncomfortable. Whatever the person looks like it may be that he has problems and it´s not his fault so I would try to be as tolerant as possible.

I judge people by the way they look to a certain extent but there is a danger in doing that. I know that someone thought a man dressed in a tracksuit was the caretaker or the physical edcation teacher. No, he was really the head teacher. Thinking of headteachers one female head teacher came to school on a motorcycle. When I was a student teacher I met a student that looked really strange. She was really a clever and kind person. She looked more like what I imagine a criminal might look like.

Looks is the first thing that you notice but can't say what he or she really is as a person. You can very well know a person with his attitude, maybe looks are still an advantage but only secondary. Sometimes those people with the ugly looks are more nicer than those who have good looks. It maybe because those who have good looks tend to abuse what GOD has been giving them.

ya i do, i belive that facial expression gives you a good idea what is going inside a persons mind.

I also tend to judge a person by there looks sometimes. i know it may sound mean but I cant help my self, I maybe so discriminating. If a person is not clean, neat and look so rugged I stay away from them because I will think of them as being a thief or a bad person.

I am sorry, but I have the tendency to do this. I make my moves sometimes on the basis of looks. I'd stay away from anyone who looks dangerous. Yes, I am just this way. Looks do speak a lot about one person. One time, I was waiting for a public transport. There was one coming and in it was a male passenger without a shirt on and holding many knives in the open. I refused the cab when it stopped. I didn't want to sit next to that man who had a lot of knives in his hands. What in the world was he going to do with those? In that sense, I was making judgement based on what I see.

Well I don't really judge people by their looks I always see how they act and how their personality is. Everyone has their own way of judging people and that's okay. If I was sitting next to someone that was a bit unusual I would probably stay there because then I would have to find a new seat.

Everybody judge person by their looks. It's not only face and body but also the clothing and accessories he/she is wearing. it's true that we must not judge a book from its cover but in my opinion, if the cover is bad, no matter how good the book is, we will feel reluctant to touch or try to read it. Of course when we know that it is a good book, then we will read it. Same with people, you do not know how a person's inner beauty/ugly but no matter how beauty/ugly the inside, we will see the outside first. It's human nature.

yes!i often judge them by their looks..and i thinj im being kinda rude to them!haha..i often look at a pers0n and making c0mment*of course i keep it to myself lol* like why d0es he looks like that?or why does he act like that..he look s.t.upid..i even make a prediction that a certain pers0n wouldnt be and will never be my friend.but when we got along or he open a c0nversation..we become close friend!this just mean that you couldnt judge other people like that!haha

I think everyone judges someone they dont know by there looks.. Obviously if someone has blistering welts over there body I would probably move away since it may seem contagious.LOL However I have so many different friends some that are thin, some that are heavy, some that are beautiful and some that act wierd, But to me they are all beautiful sweet people. SOme I judged before I knew them and they turned out to be the very opposite. But I do judge before I meet them. It it even possible not too??

I think we all judge people by the way they look to a degree. There are two words that come to mind - propinquity, and commensulism. The first is who you are comfortable being near and the second, who you can eat with. Both imply a level of comfort in association. While judging people by physical appearance may seem shallow, and, at some levels it is, that's not totally true in every case. There are some books that you can, indeed, judge by their covers. Some people do not go very deep and are just what they appear to be, both the good and the bad. Physical discomfort around some people may also be spiritual discomfort, as we sense something repellant, even dangerous and evil about some people we meet. This is a self-protective mechanism. One's countenance, especially the eyes, is a good barometer of what's inside and, as you indicate, survival instinct. It's important to be discerning in these matters and have good judgment.

Honestly, sometimes I judge person by their looks but I know It was wrong so I never did it again in my life. I usually smile at anybody who looks into my eyes even if we don't know each other.

hi abitcurious! hihi! yeah, it's like an instinct or something. I sometimes, find myself scared to some strangers that I normally see on the street, thinking that they might do something bad on me. I know that it is not right to judge someone base on their looks but I can't help noticed some fellas who looked creepy and weird. hek! haha! But in general, I don't classify any person because of their appearance. I've seen a handsome kidnapper on tv and I thought he was a celebrity or something. Haha! I just trust my instinct and act normal. lolz.. Happy Lotting!

yes,I can't help judging people by their looks.If a stranger who looks kind and not quite sharp,I would like to talk with him,otherwise, I have to keep a distance to talk carefully.It's just human nature,and the first impression of a person is very important.

hi abitcurious, i agree with you that all of us judge from the first vision because there are many things appear from persons lat us attract or Alienate to him first of these things is his appearance which include 70% of its personality when i meet some one for first time i can determine many things at his personality not from its clothes only but also the way he speak with determined his personality.
