Just be honest. Please share your opinion about this matter. Do you think it's fair to judge someone from what they look like? Have you found that your judgments have been correct? Thanks.

I judge people all the time. If there is a room of 5 people (all of which I don't know), who will I go to talk to? The one that seems to have my own interest. Obviously this judgement is not always correct. Sometimes the person who looks least like they would share my interests is the most interesting person to talk to..
But, I've never condemned people--or hated people based on any of my own judgements.
Honestly, my judgement is usually correct. I met my best friend that way. She looked like someone I would like.
Is it fair? It depends..are we choosing someone for a job or to talk to?

I think we all do whether we do it sometimes, all the time, or most of the time... I just think that it's something that we all may do on purpose or by accident.. i think that some people judge others but dont even realize it.. but to answer your question.. yes i have judged a book by its cover before.. and it has bitten me in the ***...
i mean look at all the people who wont date a person because how they look or dress... we all do it.

Yes....I think we all do. It may not be fair but its human nature to do that...ie not all bag ladys are poor, some are rich but have an eccentric hobby.
One tends to be alarmed if confronted by an big, angry bikie......expecting the worst...but someone might have just run over his foot and he has lovely wife, kids, doesnt do drugs or smoke and is a doctor by profession.
First impressions are just that and people often change their judgements quickly if proven incorrect. But first impressions are more often correct.....thats how we know to identify our peer groups.

Yes I judge people by their looks. It's very hard not to. But of course I hate when it's done to me. I think about 75% of the time my initial feelings about a person are right.

Yes, I do. No, I don't think it's fair. It's human nature to form an impression of someone when first meeting them. I'd say my judgements are incorrect most of the time. Good question!!

I have no right and no capacity to do it.
All other people are something far greater than me.
Even a murderer is better than me. People may wrongly make false accusations against him, or he may become great saint after repenting. I am trying to judge only myself, in order that I can make some personal progress everyday.

Yes, I do. Everyone judges someone and not just once, weekly. Its our nature as humans to have a high horse. Anyone who says they dont judge are lying.

NO i don't judge people and no one should either it's so racist!! You should like someone for their personality not there looks, color, or race its just soo WRONG!! I mean if they are mean and stuff you should not like them of course but you shouldn't judge anyone by their looks.

Everybody is guilty of judging people its natural. But I think it becomes a problem when your decisions are based on your judgements.
