would people LIKE you the MORE or the LESS they KNOW about YOU?

Question

or vice versa...
do you think you'd LIKE them, the MORE or the LESS you get to KNOW them?

Answer 1

I think we all tend to show the side of us that we want portrayed. For example, I just saw you posted a question, and of course I was like, yay, no answers yet, I get to be first, etc. I usually am the last one in line! So, what does that say?
Dependently giving you statements, I conclude who either I am or am not. Obviously, you would 'assume' the person at the other end is famous, popular, wealthy, and without a doubt, the NEW YORK TIMES editorial newspaper narrator.
Like, take you for instance, the number of questions you have answered and recieved best answer for is virtually equivalent -- what's up with that? Even George Bush can't get our favor in the polls -- lol!
One would assume, based on reading the questions and answers that you are top of the payroll at Harvard University, but realistically, given all the time on your hands to answer questions and ask answers, you are a 500 + pound guy -- assuming of course. Would people still like you if they knew the truth? Perhaps. Does the enlightment change anything? No.
The internet offers everything, even pictures. See, if no one knew my pic was Liv Tyler, they would think that was me. If I put up an attractive picture of a friend, they would be convinced I was that person, etc.
I am no one Famous, if I was I wouldn't become high minded, either. I issued forth out of a womb just like you or the other 1,000 or so people on here. I will go back to the dust from whence I was created. All of my life's earnings, riches, vehicles, mansions, etc. Will be sold when I die, I will no longer mean no more than a John Doe or Jane Doe. So I intend to make the most of the time I am here on this earth, no oppress others.
Some things, we find out about others is catastrophic, mind boggling, and incriminating. It changes our whole perspective on how we view them, but should never change the way we treat them.
I am here to answer your question, which was, "Would people LIKE me the MORE or the LESS they KNOW about ME? and .. "Do I think I'd LIKE them, the MORE or LESS I get to KNOW them?
So, People would not like me the more they got to know me, because I cannot socialize the way the world does, partying, monogomous relationships, etc. I try to live by the Bible and alot of things people want to do place me in a position of saying, No, and that conflicts with the friendship, and makes it harder for me to bond.
I don't care how much information I know about a person, I can't be like "Jill" and go to peoples homes and gossip and ask information and talk about people just to get information, gossipping is wrong. If I incidently 'Heard' something haphazardly It might make me ponder the information, but I wouldn't judge or mistreat them, for the sake of what I heard.
I will give you one piece of information about me, I am a homemaker with a Husband and Family, and there is nothing else under the sun. That is the facts, I am no soap opera. Now how do you all feel, with Honesty?

Answer 2

Sorry for the digression but it just occurred to me- how tragic would be the answer from a serial killer!

Perhaps he truly has a difficult time with first impressions. Perhaps he is not adept at small talk or up on the latest gossip. But despite all that, perhaps once people got a chance to really know him, maybe they would find things they genuinely liked (e.g. maybe he is good a tap dancing or doing magic tricks).

But tragically, before he has an opportunity to experience the benefit of an interpersonal relationship, he kills them, cuts them up and throws them in the water (I'm assuming that this is traditional for most serial killings).

If you got an honest answer from a serial killer to this question, he would have to say, "Gee, I don't really know. I've never given it a chance!"

How tragic!

Please excuse my poor excuse for humor.

Happy Thansgiving!

Final attempt to be serious- If you find that the more you know about yourself, the more you like, chances are that others will too!

Answer 3

i would think they would like me more, not less, once they get to know me. I have always given people a chance to know me and vice-versa, that way I get to know them and they get to know me. I am a very simple person, who would help anyone in need, even though it is my last Dollar.

Answer 4

I think people would like me the more they know about me, as I am a sweet girl and easy to like but I sometimes find I like people less in certain circumstances the more I know about them, sometimes it's good to know much less about them and just learn things about them on your own by how they act

Answer 5

Depends who it is. People tend 2 think of me better than I actually am. All but the people who have proven 2 b my true friends. They know the human side of me and tend 2 make allowances 4 it. Everybody else though tends 2 think of me as a superman of sorts. We make being a superhero look easy but it really is hard. Every once in awhile we need repair 2.

Answer 6

For common people, it depends.. actually people build relationship not to appreciate the ones they meet, but to get what they want from the relation. When they get what they want by knowing more the others then they more like, less when not.

Answer 7

Hopefully more.
When I meet someone, like my kids friends, I tell them "if I say something really dumb or something that you don't like, just ignore it because I am probably PMSing or something."
These were teens and they really got a kick out of that statement. But I wanted them to know that deep down I liked them and wanted them to like me too.
Most people that I meet grow on me and I wish I could have a longer friendship with them and get to know them better. But it's hard to build a relationship with someone when you are shopping in Walmart.
Anyway I think people like me more the longer they know me because I have grown into a more likeable person as I age.
Just like a fruit, I get sweeter as I ripen.

Answer 8

That depends sometimes I wish I knew more about someone because I feel like I would like them better and other times I would rather know less about them because I enjoy people who are mysterious.
I Like it better when people know everything about me but sometimes they wished they didnt know everything because then they would think of me as a freak.

Answer 9

I think we should all "be ourselves" all the time and let the chips fall where they may.

If we were all honest all the time, we'd know that the friendships and relationships we have are based on reality.

We would also know that we really don't like some people and not bother with them. They'll find other like minded friends.

And if people don't like me, OH WELL!

Answer 10

I would rather choose liking me less they know about me for too much knowing more about me is a dangerous thing. Knowing them less is better for there is the hesitation present on both sides.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
