First Impressions.... How much do you judge people when you first meet them?

[The Devil Man]

Woo hoo! That is Devil Man's longest ever Thread title (I think).

As you all know... last night Devil Man had a great night! He went to a club called Walkabout in London with some friends of his. And while he was in the club...

AAAAAAAAAAALL the women were over your good friend Devil Man Yes, it is true! They showered your good friend with kisses and cuddles, they stroked his wonderfully beautiful, handsome face with just a hint-of-stubble, they told him what a great dancer he is, they begged Devil Man to come to their homes and marry them so they could pop out his equally beautiful children, they told Devil Man how hilarious and how utterly charming he is and how they will never forget this magical night for as long as they live...

Devil Man was very happy!

But he was also very sad

For you see... Devil Man's friends got no action at all! The ladies didn't even look at Devil Man's friends! When Devil Man tried introducing one or two girls to his friends, they refused point blank to even look at them (and instead begged Devil Man for more kisses )

Why is this you ask?

Because Devil Man's friends are butt-ugly

Yes... it is true... the ladies were not interested in being seduced by Devil Man's friends personality. You see... Devil Man's friends are very funny and great people... but they have not been blessed in the looks department at all Therefore... the ladies didn't care to talk to Devil Man's friends. They wanted to play with Mother Nature's favourite son: Devil Man!

It was so sad They judged on first impressions.

So Devil Man's topic is... Oh, my Beloved Friends on EoFF... how often do you judge people when you first meet them?

How important are First Impressions to you?

People change. Therefore -- not very. Although they do have some sort of impact on how I view people initially, I find myself being wrong more often than not.

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

[Rostum]

First impressions are a big deal to me, I am a very judgemental kind of guy. But saying that, I will give people a chance and I will still get to know them -- chances are I like them more than I think.

[Christmas]

Regardless of their first impression,they will still be my new best friends.

ESPECIALLY LITTLE MANUS, LOL.

I try not to judge people by first impressions, because I don't want them judging me like that. I <I>try</I> not to; I usually slip and judge someone pretty heavily on my first meeting with them. That's all right, though, because I'm usually right.

[Anaisa]

I only judge people on their faces based on facial analysis. Since I do believe certain facial features are attributed to certain personality traits. But I certainly don't judge who I should spend my time with based on how good looking they are. An to do so, is horribly shallow. I'm a fairly good judge of character, so I do tend to judge people quite quickly. But it's ok, because I'm usually always right.

[Polaris]

I only judge women, never men! When I look at a face of some girls I think 'well I bet they are like that and that' but I try to know them better to see if I was right or not... Sometimes when I look at some girls just for the outside I stay away from them coz I imagine that I'll have problems with them! Most of the time I'm correct!

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

I judge people really quickly. Sometimes I like to sort people I pass in the street into good people and bad people based on their appearence alone. And I'm usually right.

[Slothy]

I don't judge someone based on looks. I base my first impressions on my first actual conversation with them. I try not to let that be the sole determining factor in what I think about them since you learn more about people over time, but if there's one thing I've learned it's that more often than not my initial judgement of someones personality is usually right.

[Alastair|UK]

i dont judge people at first impressions unkess its something i really dont approve of but thats probably because im am neither blessesd an is very butt ugly

[I Am Stoner]

I don't judge people by looks, only by thier personality.

[Tavrobel]

I give them the chance to prove me wrong.

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

[Shlup]

I may immediately develop a schema of what a person's all about (ie, judge them), but it's very flexible and it constantly changing as I learn more about them.
