Do you judge people by their appearance?

Sometimes, I automatically make a judgment base on people's appearance. I was totally wrong by this way. Sometimes, people just don't seem to act that way I imagine according to their appearance. They are nice and they friendly. So, like the cliche, never judge a book by its cover.

I don't really judge people much by their looks. Trust me I wouldn't be one to do that, I wear some crazy stuff sometimes, I dye my hair colours, and I have tats and piercings. I do tend to judge people on how they talk. Not accents or anything, but if they use a tons of slang or try to use words they don't even know how to use properly. I know people who speak broken English that I can understand better than some people who supposedly speak English as their native language and I can't make anything out from all the heezies and sheezies and shorties coming out of their mouth.

Yes, I can judge people by their appearance to some extent.It is only a first hand information. I would research about that person further to confirm whether the person is good or bad. Sometimes calculations based on appearance fail.

As much as possible I try not to. But honestly, I usually make an impression with people every time I meet them. As the common saying goes, "first impressions last" But I do not really make it last. I do make some sort of assessment of the person basing on his appearance but it is always open to adjustments. Meaning, I always give any person to show and express what they really are.

As we know,the appearance of a person represents only part of himself/herself,and more need to be learned,everytime and everything we shouldn't be blind,i like the cliche:Never judge a book by its cover.

Sometimes I do judge person by their appearance. On how they wear clothes, the way they talk and etc. I am a very observant person that's why I can easily gave an impression to a person. But sometimes Im right with my jugdement seldom I get wrong but ofcoarse it's better to know that person first than judging them without prove. Because the real beauty is not really seen by physical but in the deepest part.

Yes to be honest then yes I have ever done that and later I feel stupid for behaving as such, I regret and hence try all the best to do not judge someone by their appearances.

I used to judge people by their appearance, but now I change my thought. Many people seem kind and gentle, in fact, they may have a really bad intention in their deep heart. In the other aspect, people who is ugly or maneating do many good deeds.Thus, apprearance should not be regarded as the only way to judge a person.
