Do you link appearance and personality?

Do u look at someone and think "yeah he/she is xyz type of person".

( yeah I know it was touched on in a nearby thread )

Do u treat "healthy looking" / "attractive" / "ugly" people , or people with certain characteristics/features in a certain way.
Or think "that person looks untrustworthy or arrogant etc.

The science is called phrenology.I actually believe in it.
And ( rightly or wrongly) make ( interrim) decisions using it.

Maybe not just the face/appearance , but certainly when I analyse their expressions , voice , clothes etc together.

 

i probably do make initial judgements based on seeing someone for the first time, but always take the time to get to know someone before i realise i was right.

the first time i met my boyfriend i knew i was going to sleep with him. lol.

 

I've found that quite often, I am wrong when making a judgement based on appearance. Probably half the time Im wrong, if not more.

 

i dont get along with attractive people that well

they make me feel awkward like they should be going and hanging around the attractive crowd they came from

but then again i get offended by most people that come around me in real life

 

Yeah, same here.

 

What ? Why ?

 

I try not to judge someone based on their physical appearance, because I've had it done to me more often than not. But sometimes, you just can't help doing so. I think many people do it, whether they intend to or not. Kind of a natural reaction.

At times there are people I come in contact with that just don't sit right with me from the very start. It's like a vibe they put off, it makes me want to steer clear of them and avoid them at all costs.

 

Its not just about attractiveness.I remember some guy with huge ears , a thick nose and really thin lips.Thee was sthg about him which just seemed pure evil.And I was absolutely right.

I remember seeing Victorian plastercasts of murderers on TV and they had the exact same heads.

 

because i am a loner that prefers to be left alone in real life i cant seem to talk to people without wanting to run away from them

 

yeah same this one guy i got a weird vibe off of him

and i was right because he ended raping someone down here in this town

now he is banned from this town literally

 

well, if by "physical appearance" you mean sartorial decisions, facial expression, posture, body language and all those things you can see from the first, then yes, to a degree.

 

Yeah the guy I was thinking tried to smash a glass in my head.
So I kicked several holes in his face.And would do an "action replay if I saw him again...Complete arsehole

he seemed to attract the most vile ( personality-wise)women imaginable...

 

i do, everyone does. the only difference is i'm usually right

 

yeah, im almost always right..

 

how people react to me tells me a lot about them, too.

 

Of course I do. I don't do it on purpose....but catagorizing people is something the brain automatically does. Being close minded about the possibility of their personality is not me though. I am not always right in my first judgement and give people the chance to prove or disprove themselves to me. I try to be open minded to all possibilities....until they prove to me that I should not give them my time and energy.

 

on initial meeting I do pre judge as a protection but am open to finding out what is real inside. Which I can do rather quickly. Once I make the decision on how I think (with small facts) what someone is. I will like them or never waste my time again with them.

 

Well duh.

Everyone does it, if they realise or not. If they want to or not.

And yeah, I tend to favour certain types of people over others. I tend to avoid talking to really good looking people. They're, in my experience, really arrogant.

When we were in Nice, this indian couple came up to all of us and started talking to us. We ended up getting the bus to the end of its route and going for a walk around this beach with them. The only reason they talked to us, was because they could tell we are Indian.

Arrogant?Dont u mean "superior"

Seriously sometimes a face gives me one impression , but the voice and mannerisms can negate that abit.But I still wonder how people can have "different sides"

 

haha. lol.
I mean like, I dont want to take the effort to talk to someone whos just going to blank me. Although sometimes, theyre alright its rare.

Ive seen people who seem really confident sitting down or standing. And then as soon as they start talking, you realise how nervous they really are.
