If a guy came up to you with slacks and a nice button down shirt, what would you first think of him? he could be a total prat, but what's your first opinion? If a guy came up to you wearing a really big shirt, and jeans so low you can almost see all of his boders, basically looking ghetto, what would you first think of him? he could be a total prat too. who would you be more comfortable with, and why?

everyone has good answers, but there's a bit of skirting around the what would be your first opinion of the person. u don't know either one of them either. what i'm really asking i suppose is does it affect your opinion of that person? first impressions stay forever, and i'm not sure i will believe people who say they don't unless they give a really good explanation, but it would be nice to see a person out there like that!

I judge people by their attitude. The problem I have with some people is not the way they look but the way they behave.

Depends. I try not to judge people on clothes they wear, because you never know if someone is just dressing up because they had an interview that day, but for real they are a slob and broke and never really consider dressing nice. Or the person that is looking all baggy and slobby could just be incognito or in hiding or undercover for a job or something. You just can't look at someone's clothes and say you are what you wear. And as for which one I would feel more comfortable with would depend on how long I knew either guy that dressed either way. Cuz like I said with the one guy that may look nice, he could be a total jerk and be high maintenance, while the baggy guy could have a great personality and just can't afford to look as nice. Have to really go beyond what your eyes see. Cuz if not you will always get screwed in the end.

Yes, we all judge people by how they look, whether or not we realize it.
I don't know what a prat is, but I can say this - no educated, respectable man would walk around in a huge shirt with pants hanging off his ***. Nor would he go out in public looking "ghetto."
People dress to represent who they are (maybe except work clothing.) We all need to realize that.

I would be more comfortable with the person who seemed comfortable with themselves. It doesnt matter what you wear, its all in how you hold yourself. If the guy in the button down was looking at the floor and talking without confidence yet the 'ghetto' guy walked up with his head held high, I would definitely prefer to be around the 'ghetto' guy.

Do I come so initial conclusions when I see a person? Yes. (Male, female, tall, short, snazzy dresser, likes black, you know) Do I then discriminate against a person or allow any negative or positive initial conclusions to stick after having met the person? No.

Based solely on my past experience, I'd assume the well dressed guy was going to ask me for directions or something similar since well dressed people rarely speak to me. I'd assume the "ghetto" guy was trying to hit on me. Since I hate when strangers hit on me, I'd be more comfortable with the well dressed guy since I'd figure he really doesn't want to be talking to me anyway and he'll leave me alone as soon as I answer his question. When I tell people that hit on me to leave me alone, they sometimes get angry and start harassing me.
*The question was about being APPROACHED, not about how I feel when I look at random people. I guess I get a 'thumbs down' for having 90% of men who approach me looking like that sexually harass me*

i try very hard not to judge people by thier clothing first of all. i look them in the eye and judge them by thier behaviors and how they react to me when i speak to them. i am most uncomfortable around those who are unwilling to look me square in the eyes. something a little shady about that.

Every one does to a certain degree...not everyone acts on it. Just basic human nature.
