do you treat people differently based on looks?

Question

BE honest

Answer 1

Noway! i think majority of us don't do that. But we do treat differently based on looks indirectly..i.e, sometimes when u find someone is similar to you(your race or ethnicity), you feel comfortable a bit to speak if he is a stranger and you are in a public place. This is not being racist. This doesn't apply if you are brought up in a multicultural environment.
If you find someone of your age you find comfortable in striking a chord and speak the same age stuff, you dont do this with other age groups(there are exceptions). If you find someone sexually attractive to you, you may treat them differently because you can't treat everyone in that way. Officials and responsible people in public life should treat everyone equally, thats law else they face issues. When you go for interview they need the right attitude and skills required for the job, they treat differently depending on that. We love the liitle details of kids and babies and we respect and honour elders. In life we treat everyone differently but in common we should give respect and required attention to everyone whom we come across in this ever changing life.

Answer 2

Every one does it. A lot of the times people do not mean to do it, but humans tend to treat attractive people better than their less attractive neighbors. It's ingrained in us...right down to our DNA. People look at someones attractiveness as an indicator of great character. This is obviously not an efficient way to judge some ones character due to the fact that usually serial killers and sociopaths are quite attractive.

Answer 3

I used to. To be honest, I am still a little skeptical when I meet someone that is not so attractive, but I do what I can to at least get to know that person. I have learned that some of the most unattractive people can be some of the most beautiful people.

Answer 4

Yes, but I give everyone a chance...

...or I used to, I'm beginning to notice a trend tho...ugly people tend to have ugly personalities and good looking/average people tend to have better personalities. Not always, but for the most part I have found this true.

Answer 5

Honestly - yes! I particularily have to stop myself from being repulsed by morbidly obese individuals. Now before everyone freaks over that, I believeit is because I was morbidly obese and fear looking like that again. I will not be friends with someone who is obese as I fear that lifestyle could cause a relapse into overeating. I feel awful I feel like that but my own health is at stake and that is most important!

Answer 6

Well, I'd be LESS nice to the people who are very good-looking----because so many of them skate through life on good looks alone, and don't bother to develop "personalities".

I am a fat woman, so I know what it's like to be treated poorly when your looks/body is less than perfect.

Answer 7

Yes. I approach other women differently that I do men and younger differently from older.
I steer away from big, leather-wearing, drunken guys and strike up conversations with little old ladies.

Answer 8

Anyone who answers this question in the negative is either not human or a saint. We are evolved to appreciate the symmetrical and it take conscious effort to overcome that evolved trait. That effort is not always, or always wanted, to be made.

Answer 9

I try not to but sometimes it's all too easy to make quick judgements of someone based on their appearance...it's something we visual creatures (humans) have to look beyond...

Answer 10
