We have to admit it to ourselves, even though it is not the right thing to do. We really tend to judge other people according to their looks. If you think that person looks like a monster then we really tend not to communicate or even want to friends with that person. And if that person is good looking sometimes we are pleasing him/her and we want them to become our friend. Aside from that we easily forgive his/her fault. Again it happens in reality and we are one of those judgmental being.
So what are the cases that you have been bias to the looks of other people? Why do you feel comfortable or having ill feeling with that person according to his/her looks?
I have to admit it that there are good looking people that I am being friendly it can be ladies or gentlemen. I really tend to see their positive side and not to give too much fuss with his/her fault. More so I am being comfortable with those people that are good looking.
While for the not so good looking it depends on case to case basis. Sometimes when I don't feel his/her looks I am having this ill feeling right away that I don't even want to sit beside that person. Just like the girlfriend of my bf's friend when the first time I saw her I have this negative impression against her which is I can't explain why but I really find her so ugly to the lowest level. I can't understand why I am having ill feeling with her. My boyfriend have even told me to sit beside her but I just changed the sit when my boyfriend is still getting the food it is because I don't really feel her. Only to realize that she has her cheap attitude which is really compatible with her looks that other of her bf's friends including my boyfriend are having complaints against her that they even don't like her at all. Well that is long story but my ill feeling and impression about her became right.
But that is not always been a case. I am not like that at all because I have my friends that are not so attractive and I have been also friendly with other people that is not really good looking at all. Case to case basis if the person has good manners then it could be easy for me to get along with them. Especially if we have the same kind of interest. And there are times the person is good looking then it does not mean that I have to be comfortable with him/her it could have the same feeling of ill or having conflict and issues with them.

Just like my former friend who is a hypocrite that she told my other friends that she does not like the way I dress.

I guess almost everybody tends to be biased by the overall appearance of a person.Although I am not saying that this is proper and right, I think all of us should learn how to dress properly or should be well-groomed if it is possible.I think we don't need expensive clothes or jewelry to be able to give a good projection. I have many experiences where I have made a mistake in prejudging a person by the way he or she looks.
As we mature, we learned that an overall personality of a person doesn't only depend on the way they dress. That person might be smart after all or maybe a real well-off person who is not just fond of fancy clothing and jewelry.

When it comes of dressing well at times I have to admit that I am reflecting the person based into it. Like for example if a woman is really fond of wearing sexy clothes then sometimes it could be reflect as flirt but not all the time there are others that just want into it so that they would really look sexy.
When it comes to appearance looks can be deceiving at times. Because when a person looks good then you would thought that he could be trusted. Then when a person looks gangster then you would think that he is bad guy.

Normally I am not biased but I have moments where I don't want to be associated with someone who is not looking their best.
One time I met some girlfriends at the mall and one looked like she's just come from the farm instead of a corporate office. My true belief is that people should be able to do what they want as long as it's harmless but she needed a makeover bad.
Sometimes people who are not physically attractive have nice personalities so I'd rather hang with them than someone who places value on looks only.

Most people that are valuing according to the looks only has its greatest problems to their lives. The HS friends of my boyfriend are really valuing the looks only then only to find out that they are not even loyal to their girlfriend and wife. There are other girls who are willing to be slave as long as their handsome boyfriend or husband won't break up with them.
