How often do you judge people by their looks?

Normally, we tend to conjure things about other people's lives by the way they look, the way they dress, the way they walk, etc. You might think, "She is a teacher, I bet" because the lady is wearing old-fashioned clothes or "He is definitely gay" because the guy has perfectly manicured nails or "I won't get on this plane, those 2 guys look suspicious" because the men look like Arabs or "Hey, look at bimbo over there, I mean Bambi" because the lady is blonde. Why can't we avoid these kinds of first impressions? Why are we so superficial?

use sunglasses when going anywhere. This will keep you from feeling good and bad about yourself...and others. My point is this is human nature. Unless you've taken the initiative to know more about him or her, you're totally blinded by your own eyes. This isn't superficial, but an intelligence, only a few sharp eyes can distinguish in the air.

Not often, only sometimes when it's apparent. No man is an island and therefore, we decide if we could be with such a kind of person. If we feel that we could not go along with, why should we still try to be friendly with somebody whom we don't like just at the first sight.
