Do You Think its Right To Judge A Person By His Appearance or Clothing ???

Question

I Would Like to See All Your Opinions Please ..
Some People Think Your Way Of Clothing Is Who You Are ?? ..So Do You Think if A Person Was Wearing Not Good (or Shall i Say Not Proper ) Clothes Does That Mean Hes Not Tidy or Clean or Hes Just Not Nice or Not Good ??

Answer 1

It is not right in any aspect.

Personally, I wear what one would call 'goth' or 'emo' clothing all the time. Black is my best color to wear. It makes a lot of people think I am some kind of bad-*** that would break the law in a hearbeat. On top of the clothes I wear, I have a tattoo and my eyebrow is pierced.

I choose to look like this because I love to be an individual. Nobody would guess just by looking at me that I get straight A's in school, and I plan to be the world's best lawyer. I am also a perfectionist that has to everything just-so and if I could, I would wear slightly revealing clothes just to piss off the 'elders' because they are always trying to tell me that I am wrong.

Just because I 'push the limits' with my appearance, I would never hurt anybody intentionally, and I plan to do great things for the world one day.

I am only one of many cases, where judging by appearance is tragically wrong.

Answer 2

There are three levels to the quality of a person. You need to get to know all three levels to really get to know if a person is good or not. The first level is the least important but the first one we get to know and that is appearance. The first thing we learn about a person is what we see. And this is what we generally use to filter out who we want to interact with. And there is no universal definition of what a person should look like. It is what fits who you are. So for some people, being clean and dressing like a prep is attractive, for others, greasy hair and crappy jeans is what catches your eye.

But again, although it is the first thing we learn, it is not the only thing and it is the least important. The next level is if the person is interesting (again, interesting to you). The person may look like crap, but if you can enjoy a conversation with a person, looks don't matter.

Finally, is s/he a good person. This is the most important thing. The person may look beautiful, may be very intelligent, but if they are mean, you would not give this person the time of day. On the other hand, the person may be ugly, may not be the smartest, but if they are a good person, they might be the greatest friend or love of your life.

Watch the movie "Marty" and you will get the idea. It is an old movie, but a great one and speaks to this perfectly.

So, looks are important, but only at first and only a little.

Answer 3

I think it's wrong to judge a person based solely on their appearance...but, of course, I do it anyway. It really IS Human Nature.

If somebody is dressed in an old pair of worn/faded jeans and a grimy T-shirt (for example), but they're otherwise charming, intelligent, well-spoken, etc. then who cares about their appearance? Maybe this person has just finished work for the day...maybe they do a physically demanding job, one which requires that they "dress down". Maybe they just finished doing some yard work, or maybe they just got finished moving their piano into their new $250,000 house. The person could be Bob Trump, but he just happens to be wearing old "beater" clothes at the moment!

I suppose there are times when certain types of apparel are just not appropriate. In a nightclub, or a restaurant, where they have a "dress code" of some kind (necktie for men, etc), I think it's inappropriate to dress like a slob. I don't frequent places like that, but if I'm going to go there, then I'm going to follow the rules. If I see another patron dressed shabbily, I'm not going to complain to the Management or anything (unless the patron is causing some other kind of disturbance), but I would think it's unfair...that I should follow the rules, yet this person feels that he's exempt from them.

Answer 4

Ok, I don't like to wear dresses or makeup. I am most comfortable in old blue jeans and a tshirt. What does that make me as a person?
Gee, I guess somone who wants to be comfortable and is not real concerned about the world's opinion of me personally.
I'm still a good person. I have decent friends, My kids love me, my husband loves me.
So, no, it is not right to judge a person by appearance. You can only know of superficial things that way. And if someone likes to dress a little skimpy, or a little sloppy, or wear only clothes from SAKS, that only tells you a little bit about them. Get to know the whole person, then make your judgement.

Answer 5

I've answered similar questions to this.
No, you can't judge a book by its cover.
I once knew a man that was a millionaire, and lived in a beautiful home with his wife and two children. When his wife died, he couldn't bear to live in the home he had especially built just for her. He moved into a very small mobile home, and got a job as a tree trimmer, because he couldn't stand staying at home by himself all day. ( The two sons were grown ) The business boomed, and he was not only able to leave his two sons an enormous amount of money, but a very lucrative business also.
If you ever saw the man on the street, or in a store, you would think he had nothing at all.
One son blew all the money on women and drugs and is broke today. The other one continued with his Dad's business and has money that no one else knows about.
He paid cash to put his son through all four years of college, and has him involved in the family business today.
My friend is exactly like his father was. He is comfortable wearing coveralls ( just like his Dad ), or just a pair of sweats.
And guess where he lives???
In a mobile home park! In a meticulous small mobile home.
But, he never has to worry about bills or where his next meal is coming from. He gets a new car every year, as does his son.
You just never can tell !!!

Answer 6

Some time that the first thing you notice about a person but I think we as people can be wrong when we judge people by appearances or clothing as long as a person is clean and neat that what counts.

Answer 7

It' so not fair to judge a person by what they wear. Some people are really sloppy dressers, who don't iron their clothes etc., but that doesn't mean that they are a bad person, just maybe a bit on the lazy side. Then there are some people who dress like punks, who may have tattoos and piercings, they may dress different that me, but that doesn't mean they're bad people. I know all kinds of people. They all dress differently. Some who dress very nicely are mean and nasty. Hateful and bitter. I know a lot of Gothic people too, who are the sweetest, most wonderful people. So no...you shouldn't judge a person by how they dress. It's sad to know that so many people get judge by how they look or what they wear. Like me, for example. I like to wear low cut shirts and short skirts. Well I often get pegged as a sl*t or a wh**e for dressing like that, when I am just the exact opposite. For me, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of me, it's what i think of myself that matters, and I like myself.

Answer 8

If you're going to a job interview, bear in mind that you WILL be judged on your appearance. Not saying it's right or wrong, but you only get one chance to make that kind of first impression. But should you judge people on their appearance? No, you really shouldn't because you may be surprised. Imagine your shock if you volunteered to help out with the Special Olympics and the local chapter of the Hell's Angels came riding up...and started setting up tents and chairs, cooking food, hauling supplies, etc. (This actually happened to me, and since then I've never said anything bad about bikers).

Answer 9

I think you already know what your answer is (clothes don't make the person) and are just looking for affirmation of your feelings. (Gosh, I love those 4 syllable words :) Yes, most of us have the freedom to dress like we want. And, yes (also) we all have the right to form opinions of others based on what we see. If Joe sees a sloppy-looking person, he may think that person is a slob. Maybe if Jane sees the same person, she might assume she has just met a "starving artist," or a great philosopher. The point is, either Joe, or Jane (or both!) may be entirely correct, based on what they know of that person. If appearance is the only criteria they have for forming an opinion, then they will use that fact to make their decisions. FYI, I like my jeans without holes, lol.

Answer 10

Well yes or no. It's good for people to express who they are through clothing. If you look at someone who dressed all in black and baggy pants and black fingernail you would think they're gothic. If you saw someone with name brand clothing worth hundreds you would think they are rich. You usually can tell what type of people they are through the clothing. It's just another way they define themselfs. But I don't think it's right to think bad of a person by they're clothing. "Don't judge a book by it's cover". It's the same with people. Don't judge them by they're clothes. Get to know them!
