More shallow than assuming that someone's looks reflect their personality?

Believing there is a link between the genetics that effect facial features an personality, is shallow? Why?

Because you're judging people by their looks.

I don't usually, unless they seem to be really grumpy or really cheerful. Then my first impressions are usually right. And that only applies for my teachers cus I never really meet people.

I'm very quick to judge people, especially men, but this is because of the way I was treated by people, especially men, for so many years.

Everyone sucks until I get to know them.

I don't judge anybody by their appearance. I have to get to know someone before I think any of those thoughts. I've had friends from all the cliches across the board at one time or another. I actually find it kind of funny you can change someone's haircut and it will alter so many's reaction to them drastically.

In bookstores though, I must confess, I prefer books with pretty covers as opposed to otherwise. There I am blatantly biased and I do judge books by their covers :(

I agree. And totally, shiny book and good looking books(literally, not metaphorically) rock. Ugly ones dont.

I don't judge people on their physical appearance, because I know for a fact that looks can be deceiving.

I'm judging them on their personality. An using looks as an indicator as to what their personality is.

I always panic about peoples first impressions of me. But yeah, I think they are important cause it can determine whether or not you want to socialise with the person again.

I try not to judge people when I first meet them. But, I probably do, unknowlingly. xD

i always do. not that i want to, it's just natural. i allow them to prove my assumptions wrong if they can. if people only judge me from first impressions...meaning what they see, i probably appear as a big dumb jock...sooooo i hope they give me a second chance.

I never judge people when I first meet them. In fact, I don't judge for a good long while, until I feel that I know them. Then of course I'll make assumptions on what kind of person they are.
This is because I am painfully shy around everyone new I meet, and therefore I would hate if they judged me by the first meeting. I'd usually be extremely quiet, not having anything to say. I'd give short answers, which I know gives people the impression that I'm not interested.
Although I'm amazing myself in that department, lately, by getting completely relaxed and being myself around a group of about five different new people in the span of one day. :love:

That's the same thing. You're assuming someone with a certain kind of eyes has some kind of negative (or positive, for that matter) character trait. That's stupid.

i saw this one guy where i used to work, he was a regular. he always looked mean because his wrinkles formed a mean face, like he was always angry and his wrinkles had formed to that shape because he always looked like that. i avoided him as much as possible but after i got to know him i found out he was one of the nicest people in that place.

never can tell. it's in our nature i think to prejudge as a defense mechanism but whatever
