Do you stereotype people when you first meet them?

Question

Or do you give everyone a fair chance at a good impression?

=)

Answer 1

It's rather sad because, I may 'stereotype' them,
as in shove them in a category and be all, "he's so emo." But, I would let them talk. Usually it turns out I talk to the person that I thought would be cool and their stupid. And, that's the reason. If they're going to ignore me, I don't think I should randomly come up and say hi, it's just. my way of things.

Answer 2

I hate stereotypes, so I don't do that to other people. They get their fair chance at a good impression.

Answer 3

I try to give everyone a fair chance, but sometimes you just know if the person is good or bad.

Answer 4

If they make eye contact with me then I give them a fair chance, but if not I probably tend to stereotype. I think it must have something to do with trust. I'll ask a shrink and get back to ya on that one.

Answer 5

Give everyone a fair chance.

Answer 6

Give everyone a fair chance. I hate it when I see people pre judge others

Answer 7

I give everyone a fair chance, always. Sometimes that backfires, but if I didn't give chances, I might have missed some of my Best Friends!

Answer 8

i don't purpesoly stereotype people- i don't think many ppl do. But as humans we naturally try to assume what kind of personality the person we just met has. We usually judge this on skin tone, accents, maybe even hair color.

Answer 9

a fair chance I try any way

Answer 10

I totally stereotype
