I don't adorn myself in any way so all of these answers are in relation to choice of clothes.
Do you as a person use a person's reaction to your chosen way of dress to detect compatibility with a person?
Nobody has ever reacted to the way I dress at all since I was at school. Just the typical childish "lol poor" remarks, but I'd already realised they were jerks long before that.
Can you respect someone who openly despises the way you love to dress yourself?
If they were constantly making remarks about it, no I couldn't. If they hated it, but didn't ever mention it, I wouldn't mind.
Can you hate someone who absolutely loves the way you dress yourself and openly expresses it?
Yes, easily.
How important are your friends' opinions of your fashion choices to you?
Friends? Fashion? Um, 0%.
Do you dress yourself expressively, or do you dress yourself to fit in?
I dress in clothes that are affordable, comfortable, and what I happen to like the look of based on my own taste and nobody elses. So neither.
Does the way you adorn yourself have any intended message?
If so, what exactly do you want your choices of adornment to say about you?
No. I make no attempt to stand out from the crowd or fit in with the crowd. "The crowd" means nothing to me.
Can you respect someone who dresses in a way that you totally despise, even if they don't have some redeeming qualities about them?
I don't 'despise' any form of dress. Quite a few of my friends in the past have dressed 'differently' and it doesn't bother me. I'm not the sort of person to make remarks on something like that randomly to someone. If they asked for my opinion, then I would honestly say what I think, but it's not going to affect how I judge someone.
