Just curious. I know how easy it is to "judge a book by it's cover." Have you ever done that based on how someone was dressed and found out you were dead wrong?

Oh yea! Been there done that and hate to admit it. When you help the public you see a lot. Always amazes me how people really are. Known lots of people that look like bums or miscreants but would give you the shirt off their back to help you out.

Not entirely, but it has a lot to do with my opinion. If someone dresses well, it makes me believe they at least have respect for themselves and care about their appearance. If they dress like a slob, a banger or a punk, well...let's just say that they have to prove themselves worth the effort to get to know them.
Frankly, I can recall too many times being wrong on the latter, but I have on the former. Just because someone dresses well doesn't mean they're a good person.
And this doesn't bother me, really. I'm not rude to anyone until they give me a reason to be. But we all make judgements every day of our lives based upon our values. We shouldn't be ashamed of this unless we're unwilling to change them when theres good reason.

Not intently. It's not for me to say or judge any one by the way they dress or look. I know for a fact back In high school I was being judged by my peers. I hurts to be told you don't look nice or you look like a freak. I know a couple of people that still dress Gothic and there the nicest people you'll ever meet. I know guys who have been called geek and are very sweet even the preps that might seem like jerks are smart and kind. that's why in high school I had a lot of friends I got along with them that and the fact that I was a goof ball. LOL

some ways people dress you alot about who they are. like if i see a woman dressed low cut shirts, short skirts, and shirts that show their midriff...you can tell that that person either is unconfident in themselves and needs a male's attention or a girl's fashion approval to feel self worth or they are blissfully ignorant of what struggles we put men through by dressing to draw attention
Unfortunately sometimes i let myself think that someone who dresses that way will be a jerk but in most cases i put aside this notion and find out they are really a sweet person. so basically the way you dress does give people ideas of who you are(i believe for a reason in most cases) so you should be careful how you dress. if you aren't a prostitute why dress like one?
still i try to treat people with respect no matter how they dress.

The only time I judge people on how they dress is when it comes to women/girls wearing short shorts, midriff-bearing shirts, low-cut blouses, and the like. What would common sense tell you my opinion of them is? wh0re, sl*t, etc. And no, I've never been dead wrong in any of those cases. If the shoe fits, wear it honey!

No, never. And i dont like also to be judge based on how i dress, one time a friend told me i look depress cause i was wearing comfortable clothes (jeans and a t-shirt) instead of fancy clothes and a lot of make-up.... i said to her thats silly i just want to be comfortable and i was at my house cleaning.

sure every one makes mistakes ,and thats human ,,,to expect perfect knowledge or perfect discernment from everyone, is an impossible task ,, and a first impression sticks,, and to look into every persons mind is gods task not mine ,,,so if it looks like a duck,, and quacks like a duck,, it must be a duck,,, or as chris rock says" if your going to wear the uniform ,do the job" or dress differantlly.....

There is not a single person alive that does not judge a person on how they look. Get real.
