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

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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. ;)

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.

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.

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.

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


People who judge on appearances need to be shot in the face, with my foot.
Quoted for truth! *shot*...lol.


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.

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. :)
