What is the first thing you look in someone you meet for the first time?

amitaliasb2 @amitaliasb2 (153) • India 15 Mar 08

Myself, I pay great attention to the person's behavior and mannerism when I meet him/her for the first time. An indisciplined conversation in the beginning annoys me a lot. I look at decency. What about you?

podqueen @podqueen (340) 14 Mar 08
