"*"*"*"*" Introduction "*"*"*"*" I found this topic while browsing through the discussion area and I thought it would be interesting to write about. "*"*"*"*" Sometimes It Is Good To Be Cautious But Then.. "*"*"*"*" When we first meet someone, we rarely know anything about them. I say "rarely" because we sometimes meet people through others. In that sense you can already know a lot about someone before meeting them. But, that is not always a reliable source and people do not always tell you the truth. Even if you think you know ...  Read the complete review

Do I judge people on first appearance? Of course I do, and I think the majority of people out there do!! But.. Am I right to judge people on first appearance? Of course not! I really do try to stop my self judging on first appearance, as i know it is not right, nor is it fair, but i just cant help it! But, i do always try to hang around even if I judge them badly at first i am often proved wrong. Are all ugly people evil? NO Are all stunning people kind and considerate, and make good conversation? NO So why do I do it? It just seems to be natural. No matter how hard try not to, I cannot help it. On ...  Read the complete review

Judging on first appearance can be both dangerous and invaluable. Sometimes you get a "gut" feeling about someone that just cannot be ignored, but who's to say that you're not making a mistake? In a quandry such as this you must look to your moral compass and decide from there. The old addage "you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover" is a lovely line to tell to children in the hope they will think without prejudice and be "nicer" people, however it's not always as simple as that. I for one will hold up my hand to making a snap decision about someone within the first 5 minutes of meeting them. It may not be the most ...  Read the complete review

I always try not to judge people on their first appearence. I usually try to go by what people talk about or how they treat me. I tend to find that if someone is a nice person I will get on well with them, I try and avoid people who are confrontational. I have an intersting story about first appearences. I was on a midland mainline train and sat next a man in a wheel chair who clearly had little motor skills. So he was swaying a bit. I didn't want to sit somewhere else because he was there, which I think is what most people would do. Anyway I smiled at him and he started talking from one of those communication pads. Asking aout a taxi, ...  Read the complete review

I think the time in your life when you're most likely to judge other people on first appearances is when you're a kid or teenager. In younger children I've noticed they often deliberately and slowly look a new person up and down (not in a mean way, but in an openly curious way). I know at high school, in my experience, people were very quick to judge on first appearances - myself included. But at university, I got used to the fact that people are often completely different from how they look, and as I've encountered so many thousands of people all with different views on clothes, of different backgrounds, of different shapes and sizes, I've come to realise it ...  Read the complete review
