can you tell a person's character by his looks?

I don't think there's any people out there that can actually do that.. I mean unless you have some kind of a power or that you have exceptionally good observation skill. Anyway I think it is quite rude to jump to conclusion on someone based on their appearances. Everyone is just as mysterious as you are to yourself in the mirror. Cheers.

That's a good question and i often wonder about that. I have this silly game i like to play. When i'm in public and around a bunch of strangers-like maybe on a bus or in a coffee shop or something, i like to look at the people there and make guesses about them. Like, look at a person's face and try to determine if the person is intelligent, and generally what kind of person they are. It is not that i'm trying to be judgmental. I just find it interesting to do. I realize that i could be totally wrong in my assessment.

Don't judge the book according to it's cover because you do not know what really the content of it. What if the book I'm talking about has content better than the good looking one. Maybe the publisher has no enough budget to make a good cover? It's the same if we apply this to a person. We can't judge a person based only to his/her appearance. Better to know him first before you conclude.

Hi bluemoon~ I agree that you really shouldn't totally judge a person by the way they look because you can definitely be wrong, at least some of the time! You can only get to know someone by talking to them. It is easier to get to know someone by physically being able to spend time with the, but I have learned that I have made some really close friends right her on the Lot too! We "speak" here, off the Lot too! There are many ways that you can get to know someone pretty well, but it has nothing to do with their looks!

Lol yes guilty here. I know it's wrong but I do it mainly for fun, that's my excuse. I like to try to guess what the person's going to be like even before he or she speaks. I can usually tell by his or her facial features and what he or she wears. This is all based on patterns I have seen before with people with the same taste in clothing and even in some cases they have similar facial features. But I try as much as possible to just try to guess what they are all about rather than judge immediately just because of their physical features. Here in my country I know a lot of rich people who just wear shorts shirts and slippers most of the time. You'd never know they were very very rich. Interesting topic, bluemoonpavilion! ++ to you!

I do think some people can. But i can not. Some people can, iam saying so beacuse some has gussed about me, my charcter and other things. I am talking about the stranges, who meet you while travelling or other way. They guseed and many perdictions were right.

I dont think you can tell a persons character by looks because someones character is inside.I mean so often we see so many pretty persons and they are obviously nasty and sometimes we see some ugly people and their character is obsolutely golden.Agin you see some small perosns and their personality is fiery and then you see a giant and he is gentle as a mouse

I can't really tell... Personally, I don't care about how other people look. If they talk to me, I'll talk to them the same way they are talking to me. What I mean is that if the way they talk is annoying me, I will reply something that could make them also feel annoyed. There's a saying... an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. HAHA! That's the kind of person I am. You guys might think I'm an unpleasant person. HAHA! Happy mylotting!

I beleive that looks can be deceiving, and for most of the time the person who's got the most angelic look is one whose got a very devilish character. The beauty of a person can't be seen from the outside it will always be from within, the character will show on how a person behaves and not through the superficial looks one is projecting, looks is not the definite way to define a character, "it is only through the heart that one see's rightly, what is essential is invisible to the human eye". This is one of my favorite lines, when defining character from the famous story, the fox and the prince.

yes,i can tell a person's character by his looks. sometimes there were people who are easily read and some are hard. some people also are good at hiding their feelings or real attitudes,but you can always see it in their eyes. it reflects our souls. some friends of mine i thought they were rude,but in time i figured out they are nice people.some also i knew personally i thought they were nice people but it turned out they were those people i want to get rid of because of their awfulness and bad traits,never trust them again. i also have a friend who can read my attitude just by seeing my picture,i guess she was really good when it comes to those things,i guess it's kind of they have studied learning attitudes through pictures.

looks can be so deceiving. i've met some girls who just looked like boticelli angels and they had such a mean streak to them. anyway, it's maybe cliche' but it's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. in my case, i'm often mistaken for someone who has no sense of humor but i love to laugh and i find humor in the most trivial of things. people always tell me afterwards how they just didn't expect me to be so funny. i think it's great that my looks could mislead people, it's always fun to prove people wrong for me.

Of course not. Not in most cases anyway. But it is very common that people try to do exactly that. But people who judge others based on superficial things alone are very often surprised, keep that in mind. And not always in a good way!

well the answer is that i cannot tell one,s character by his look but if i remain close to him by any means i can tell you what kind of this person is.

I did a take test on whether you could spot a serial killer by his photo. I scored perfectly somehow. I think I was lucky. So I think you can for certain things. Like does he or she take care of themselves. But beyond that, you can't.

It depends on what you mean by looks. If you include the clothes they wear then its 50/50, but if you're just going on the pure appearance of the person's body, and physical characteristics, then ya you can tell a person by their looks. Most people anyway. I'm usually right, but there have been a few times that I was wrong. Sometimes people surprise you.

Not all but you can for some. Like for me, the one thing I am definitely showing is I am just a simple person. No matter how crazy my thoughts are and all, I am still this simple little girl inside who just wants real people. But then again, there are some who wants the world to know what kind of a person they are so they make an effort to dress up and all.

It's true that looks do play a part in how we try to evaluate people. Of course, all of us are better understood by our character qualities, and that takes time to know. I do imagine how a person I may have never seen might look by their voice, their opinions, and how they express themselves. I am always surprised if I get to meet such a person, most notably, by their looks, e.g. if I imagined them short with dark hair, or whatever. The image in my mind must go! However, some "books can be judged by their cover", meaning some folks don't go very deep and what you see is what you get in some cases. But, most people are full of surprises in their depth of character when you get to really know them.

That's usually the first thing we see in a person. And it's hard not to notice sometimes. Basing on looks alone may get you to a first impression but it may not always be true. You need more than just looks to form a good and reliable judgement. And that obviously depends on what you have in mind.

there is an old saying - never judge a bookk by its cover and i tend to think this is right, its always nice to get to know someone before deciding on their character

Yes, I can tell a person's character. Sometimes phsical look can say so much. And 80% percent of I told is true :)
