"Don't judge a book by its cover."
Bull. I can determine a lot by a book's cover (as long as you also count the back of the book as the cover as well) Its title, author, genre, sometimes what the book is about, sometimes some reviewers who liked it and their comments, ect.
Same goes for people. Sure, you can't determine exactly who a person is based on looks, but you can make a pretty good guess.
1. Where are they? Are they going into a fancy eatery that is very expensive? Probably have some money. Are they walking into a homeless shelter? Probably homeless or a volunteer (can probably tell by clothing, sometimes physique, general condition of their body)
2. What are they doing? Playing sports, laughing and chatting with a group of people? Probably likes playing sports, or just likes spending time with that group of people. Avoiding everyone and not speaking a word? Either sad, possibly angry, or just not very social- take your pick.
3. Who are they hanging out with? You can usually get a good guess of at least a piece of a person's personality simply by the company they keep.
List goes on. Basic point: Trying to determine what a person is like based on appearances isn't something to be looked down upon, it's just what you typically do when you have studied a person for more than a passing glance.
