Do you tend to judge people by their appearance?

To elaborate more on this. I was pondering the other day, and wondered if the typical person does this:

a) Sees hot man/chick
b) Thinks that man/chick is hot
c) Assumes that person might be a potential candidate for a future husband/wife

Because growing up, I realize, instinctively, people tends to look at another person and automatically criticize him or her because of their appearance. Do you tend to look at someones appearance first and assume that you might get along with that person? Or do you just not give a damn, and look towards their personality / attitude first?

When I was younger, growing up, and I have no shame about admitting this, I used to look at a person and say "Psh, I 'd never hang out with that f'ggot over there.", or etc. When I matured, I realize regardless of how people dressed, in the end, it's how they act and how they stick to their words that determines their friendship with you. I know some people that broke up with their ex, because their ex wasn't 'good looking' to them in comparison to other chicks or dudes, and ended up going with a hotter person. In my opinion, though that IS human-nature, that's the wrong way to do things. Because even if they look better, it doesn't help if that person is an pimento, a peach, a lazy slob, etc.

I'm sure not everyone here is going to agree, and I'm also sure that some people here has never ever judged a person by appearance, not even once. I wouldn't be surprised at all. But I just wanted to see what people here thinks about this.

PS: If it helps, my bestfriends over here are 'all white', I technically don't talk to the majority of the Asian kids here since I don't really get along with them. I have some other friends of different ethnic groups as well, but there aren't too many Asian kids over here.

I posted this in the Rubik's Cube because I wanted intelligent responses and not spam. I've seen some random posts in Social before, and it ends up getting side-tracked...

I judge them based on the clothes they wear.

Subconsciously, I think. First impressions do count, and appearance is the only thing you have to shape your opinion of people until you get to know them on a personal level.

That said, if/when you do get to know someone, outward appearance doesn't matter so much. Then it's the person's character that shapes how you see him/her. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Last night I was at a gass station and my mom called these two kids little pomegranates. I kept telling her it wasn't right to judge people by appearance but sure enough they jacked two six packs.

THERES FUKING CAMRAS RETARDS! THEY HAD NOTHING COVERING THEM AND ONE OF THEM EVEN HAD HIS PHONE OUT!

i judge people based on.... i just judge everyone to be bastard covered bastards with bastard filling and go from there.

I judge people on personality. Then again, I've noticed the mistakes that come from judging people about their appearance...

I don't judge people period, I simply try to understand what/who they are. I belive ( based on the evidence and logical conclusion that I've reached throughout the years ) in determinism.
so on an Intellectual level , I don't hate anyone because I know tha they're simply an outcome of a pre determined process just like me. they coudln't have been any other way and I could have been
any other person. so I just try to see where a person is comming from and understand their world view. no need to put a label on them after doing that either.

but yes when I look at girls/women I do automaticaly think weather or not I'd like to have sex with them. but even if I don't want to, I don't ignore the person or treat them differently or even rule out the possibility.

I hope this was a constructive answer.

Most people look at me and automatically assume that I'm a gross, disgusting, hard to talk to, irritating, fat slob.

I try not to do the same. I've experienced lots of things because of the way I look and I don't think it's right, or fair.

I have to admit, I judge people on appearance when I first see them. Then, I try to reproach myself, and get to know them before making another judgment.

When i first see them i think how the person MAY be and i try to find out who they REALLY are
