Have you ever judged a person by his/her appearance?

ya we are considered a person whether they are male or female.i have judged a person whether their charecter is good or bad.

I think we are all guilty of this to some extent and at some point in our lives...it just seems to be human nature sadly, and it is wrong because how can we possibly know what a person is really like just by looking at them and seeing the outside part. I like to dress let's say 'unusually' and I like to be different to other people so I am used to being looked at and it really doesn't bother me, I often socialise with people who are also alternative so am used to seeing people who do look different but I think that even I have judged people on first appearances at times I am ashamed to admit. I have a really good example of this happening to me actually. Many years ago I was the Matron of an Old Persons Home and one day on my day off I went into the town shopping. This day I was wearing jeans, a tassled leather jacket and boots and probably had some wierd hair do as I did at that time, lol. I went into a quite posh clothing shop to have a look around for a special outfit, and immediately I walked into the shop I was tailed by the shop security person, I had done absolutely nothing wrong and was just looking at the clothing but this made me feel very uncomfortable so I left very soon. The following week I decided to test my theory and went back into the same shop straight after a shift at work and so was wearing my Nurses Uniform....I was immediately greeted by the shop person this time, she did not recognise me from the previous visit, and she could not do enough to help me. I tried on lots of outfits and lapped up the attention, then turned to her and told her that I would not be buying anything from the shop due to the way I had been treated the week previous and maybe they should not judge people quite so quickly just on thier appearance as they could be losing business. A caterpillar is not the most lovely creature to look at but inside that body will emerge a beautiful butterfly one day .We need to give everyone in life the chance to show us if they are a butterfly on the inside

Hi, liwewei, Though we might feel tilted towards the end that first impression on any one should not be the last impression. I have gone though such mistakes in my own life. The person I had presumed to be perfectly true came out the opposite and I had to feel it back. We do misread people though this is too a fact that our faces are the good deflectors of our personality.

Hi dear, This kind of relation can be correct upto a certain extent only or a maximum of 50/50 ratio. The physical exhibits are only partially correct. If a person’s physical holds good and pleasing habits, and after considering a conversational time, our opinion must change. This is due to the physical and actual imbalances only. Someone having a great experience with more people and having interact and contact with so many people can go for a better evaluation. Still, unless we have a direct contact, it these aspects can be go correct only upto a level only, not beyond that. Some times, we many not able to assess certain people for a long period of time. These all depend on person to person. Regards, Thank-s

I'm sorry but yes. For me it always happens in the hospital. Most of the times my friends and I are shocked that the person we have encountered with is a doctor. Sure doesn't look like a doctor to us... This Lady, well her dress ain't coordinated, her hair is a mess, her bag ain't clean, she doesn't look clean and well, she's a doctor. This guy also, has messed up hair, his clothes and shoes are untidy and well all in all he looks untidy and his also a doctor. Gosh... I think you can looked messed up at home but when you work at least you have to try to look good and clean, lol...

yes i did when i was in school. me being from a middle class family didnt have good things in mind about the rich people around me. I used to stay away from rich friends of mine. I have also judged some of the guys to be rude or show offs. But i came acrsoo some friends of mine who have changed my complete perception. I dont have anysuch feeling now. But is you are talking about physical looks i dint have anything to do with that. I have love people of all colors or physical appearences.

not entirely judging but "figuring out" or as you have said making an impression. You see it takes time to actually know a persons internal characteristics, other even are hard to understand, but at least you can get an idea on how a person will behave on the styles he choses especially on grown up men and women. In schoolers some are just lost or possers, they wear styles that they see as "in" without having an idea what is, specially in my country, when emo look became phenomenal almost every schoolers get up is emo, but when you see what song they are listening most of them are novelty and pop songs even rap..hehe now jejemon getup (somewhat a mexican or gangster style) is in and everybody is trying hard to be.

I did. To those man who look like a robber.Lol. When I am riding a bus, I would really stare to those men who looks like a robber. I can't help it. I hate robbers. I have been a victim once.

Of course we should not judge. However, sometimes it is impossible not to do so. When I see a woman or young lady dressed provacatively, like with her chest showing and maybe with very short shorts and her rear end showing, I think she might have loose morals. When I see a young man with his pants hanging half way down his behind I think he is trying to prove something or just doesn't care how ridiculous he looks. If I see a person in public with dirty, long toenails and feet, greasy matted hair, maybe a shirt barely covering their stomach and it hanging out and flopping around and especially if they have a bad odor I immediately think they just don't care what anyone thinks. I really hate to use the word low-class because it sounds so snobbish and if you knew me you would know I am not like that. I am nice to everyone no matter what they look like. I am talking about first impressions. I am what you would call poor. I can't remember when the last time was that I shopped for clothes other than yard sales or somewhere like that, but I can afford soap and my clothes are clean and so is my body. I don't smell bad. That is offensive to people. I don't judge anyone by their color, height, weight, deformaties, etc. I started to say speech, but the only thing about that is if a person curses and uses crude, vulgar language then, yes, I do not like that at all and hesitate to stay around a person who curses and takes God's name in vain. So, do I form first impressions, yes, I guess I do and so does everyone whether they will admit to it or not. God tells us to "Judge not lest you be judged", so we must be very careful to try not to do it. Howeer, it is virtually impossible not to form an immediate first impression.

I used to, but i don't let him/her know. I just keep it from myself to avoid humiliating a person.

Yes. I have done it so many times and learned a lot from it. You really can tell a persons true identity by just looking at what he looks like or what she is wearing. A well dressed guy doesn't mean that he is rich or on a higher level in the society. You can't also tell that when you see a dirty guy with soiled shirt walking around is something to judge on. I've been fooled a lot with this attitude. First impression doesn't always count, the dirty guy I'm talking about was the owner of the mall being built and he is also an engineer supervising the construction. He looked like an ordinary worker. We are fooled by what we see, we make mistakes by judging other people. We find it fun to say something about other people but we have the lack of seeing ourselves on their place.

Mostly people are judged by their appearance only. Only few people try to look deep into the persons nature. If you are well dressed you will be treated well by all, if not then it depends where you are. If you are in a poor locality people will not bother about your dress but if you are in a well to do locality, you better dress properly else you will be treated very badly.

Yeah, it happens from time to time, really you know you have to look at the inside before judging anything but sometime you accidentally realize that you are totally judging a book by its cover. Wish i have eyes that can look into people's nature

I do, I try really hard not to judge people. But sometimes I will see someone in the grocery store or something and I find myself thinking that someone looks trashy. Or I ask myself why they would wear that out in public. I know its not nice, and I try not to. As soon as the thought comes into my head, I try and push it back out.

At one time or another wse have all been guilty of jusging someone by how they look. We have already jumped to certain conclusions about a person by how they appear to us. Often, it is after being with someone that we really get to know them and find we had made a wrong judgment about them. it is just human nature to size people up in advance.

Not really! It seems that every time I think that that person is like that, he or she is really like that. I think I can tell from the look of their eyes. Sometimes I kinda know what the person is because it also reflects in their body language.

When we meet somebody that we are not familiar with, then we must judge him/her by his/her appearance. Although it is not right all the time to do like this, in most cases, it is a necessity indeed. There are many people who fall in love with each other at first glance, which is a kind of love based on the appearance. Without the appearance, we may have no chance to get familiar with each other in the future. Sometimes, we may be fooled by someone's appearance, but without it, where will we start to realize of one's quality?
