Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover?
 
Do You Judge people on their appearances more than their personality? Or The Other Way Around??

♣Gawain♣ October 12th, 2009 9:28 AM

I always judge a person through their intelligence and personality. Rarely I befriended a person with good look and high intelligence.

I usually have my initial impressions by my first conversation with that person, or if I happen to see that person do/say something that's nice or not-so-nice. Can't really say that looks affect if I want to get to know a person, but sometimes if I first see someone I'll think something like, "Oh wow, s/he has pretty eyes~"

I usually judge people on their taste in music, actually. =x

Graceful October 12th, 2009 9:52 AM

I like people who like somethings that I like or have a sense of humor. I like peoples personality, not how they look. etc.

shu October 12th, 2009 12:05 PM

i like people who like the same stuff as me,and treats me like a person.

Well, the first time you see a person you can't help but create an idea of who they are from their appearance. It's not until they open their mouth and start talking to you do you get a change to become acquainted with their personality.

On the internet, it's easier not to judge people, because you usually have no clue as to who they are, so can judge on their personality and not have any prejudices, unless they have a reputation about them or something.

Sounds October 12th, 2009 12:18 PM

I've never been too judge mental in my life, sure having an opinion is something, but I'd never judge someone unless I'd know him or her.

Banjora Marxvile October 12th, 2009 12:28 PM

I judge how people act over how they look. If they are kind, I respect them, if mean, I detest them.

Code October 12th, 2009 12:29 PM

I judge them by the way they act, if they're polite, and if they have a good sence of humour (like me! XD).
Everytime I even get close to judging people by their looks, I remind myself of the book "feather boy". Because the title and picture gave a really odd impression of the book. For instance, In small writing, it read: "you can do it, you can fly!", but the book had nothing to do about flying at all! XD

As much as I want myself to judge someone by who they are, I still have a habit of judging people based on appearances.

Synaesthesia October 12th, 2009 12:46 PM

I get an idea of what a person is like by their looks, because usually you can tell. But I'll almost always give someone a chance and see how they are personality-wise. If I like their personality, then they're not bad people. If I don't, then screw 'em.

Citrinin October 12th, 2009 12:54 PM

I judge people by their acts, not their appearances. And, I will always suspend judgement over someone until I've seen (or heard from reliable sources) how they act.

Caelus October 12th, 2009 1:30 PM

I usually judge then by their personality, but rarely I can't help but judge their appearance. :/

Personality is still more important to judge, of course.

.little monster October 12th, 2009 1:46 PM

People who judge on appearances need to be shot in the face, with my foot.

Anyways, I always judge on their personality that I have experienced.

Totally agree. We all can't help but picture their personality base on their appearance for a second or two. I know I done that a few times. Overall though, I try my best to not judge people by their looks. As for internet, yeah it's easier to judge their personality and I do that.

KUROXFAI October 12th, 2009 7:34 PM

you r right it is easier to judge on the internet,
i rarely judge people on either i mean im one o fthose people who makes a big impression, and i dont care weather people r smart, or look smart/pretty, whatever as long as they get along with me who the H___L cares what others think or what i think of them

twocows October 12th, 2009 8:08 PM

Most people look ugly to me, so it's pretty easy for me to judge people on their merits rather than their appearance.

Alistair October 12th, 2009 8:29 PM

I try to reserve judgment until I meet the person and get a general idea of what he/she is like. When someone is a complete meatball (whether it be towards me or otherwise), I judge them. >.<

There are some people that look like total meatballs, and aren't. When I first encounter these people, I usually keep the thought of judging them at the back of my mind until I see the way they act.

Oh, and if you tried judging me on first sight, I can guarantee your first thought will be "Oh my god, he's going to kill me!" I just have that look. ;)

RYOUKI October 12th, 2009 9:08 PM

Literally, yes. That's what covers are for... to attract people.

But, I don't judge people based on their appearance. I don't know why, I guess I'm just oblivious that's all. Meaning, if I saw a guy wearing dorky glasses, I'd never notice it, so i judge people more on their personality, really. Doesn't get it? Yeah, me neither.

Aberbecam October 12th, 2009 9:08 PM

I don't think the thread title matches with the thread topic.. meh. well for me, you can say both. if someone looks good and has nice personality and comforts you, i like them and they mostly turn out to be my friend. And if someone looks good and their mean, i just simply leave them alone and let them do what they want to do. But everyone is nice one way or the other. Lets say this person is the meanest person in the world, but you know deep inside they are a little nice.

Esper October 12th, 2009 9:16 PM

Before I get to know someone I usually judge based on how people carry themselves, like how some people look shy and others look aggressive. It's a mixed bag since it's judging based on personality (my perception at least) with only someone's appearance to go by.

Rogue planet October 12th, 2009 10:13 PM

I take a lot of factors into account when judging people; I do judge people by their fashion sense and I guess that counts as appearance.

Same here.
The part about them liking the same thing as me isn't necessary, but is normally a pluspoint.
But I totally agree with the part of treating me like a person, and treating me good enough to imply that they actually care for me...

Upto an extent, I can't help but make an assumption a little bit based on appearance if I don't know the person. But that doesn't really cloud my real judgement over a person.

I never judge a person by their appearance. They can have whatever fashion or looks to themselves.
Appearances normally never make a person who they truly are to me.
Moreover, I don't have a good fashion sense, and neither do I look good anyways, so I know how it feels...

I always judge based on people's personality. Good personalities will be liked by me. :)

AmazingCouchPotato October 13th, 2009 1:09 AM

i don't judge people i just look for freinds / ppl who are cool and easy to talk to
