Heyiah all, I will make this as simple as a white neat paper.

Do you believe in first impressions ?

What Do I mean, when your eyes first glanced a new mate, or a friend of another friend.
You Surf his up and down, and then take this mortal sin which may be totally wrong.
First impressions by looks for example, like .. when seeing someone, you start saying .. oh look at him .. he is such a jerk ... or oh .. he looks mean or damn he is humirious... the list can go on forever..
and .. its not only about looks, it could be by the first convo between you and this victim. if he acted cold ... then you might say oh .. he is no fun or whatever, and this depends on the persons thoughts...

Personally and Frankly, First impressions mean nothing to me ... I dont take a good or a bad image and carve it into my mind .. there is no way to justify why I could think that this person is Either cool or not unless I get to know them.

No i don't believe in first impressions.. but that doesnt mean that they don't decieve me sometimes.. i think they decieve us all.. but aren't we entitled to thinking ill of them in some cases?

for instance, if i met a guy/girl for the first time and they were especially rude and unsually cold am i not entitled to think ill of them? i mean if a person would act like that to a perfect stranger? how good of a person can they be?

^ its thier will to act whatever they want to ... I mean .. if they want to have good impression and to know that they are not considered "evil" they should act real from the very beginning, and not pretend something and then cover the fact that they are rude or whatever, hmmm... I was talking about First Impression in general, but to be more accurate, I meant those by the looks or the way they talk or whatever ... not how they deal/talk with you ..

First imperessions are not a thing to control.....but surely we can control their effect in our relationships with others...
Taking ideas about ppl only from their look....can be very stupid and childish

ppl always get a bad impression on me at first, then when we are friends they tell me about it and i annoyes me for a time, so no i would never do that

If I comment on someone's style before getting to know them, I wouldn't have a bad impression about that person, I'd just think that to me, they don't have a sense of style, or they do have a sense of style! :D But I wouldn't really judge someone by the way they dress, unless they were walking around in inappropriate clothes, then my mind would go elsewhere.

I always love what I call "the Second Look."

That means, when you have digested your first impression of someone and decided you understand them, usually something happens that puts them in a whole different light. Then you get to figure out how the two things go together.

When I get my first impression, I usually feel like I hold it back like a horse that wants to pull me. And I wait for "the Second Look." Then I know I am on the path to understanding that person.

You know the story of the blind men and the elephant? Understanding people is like that...

Ummm I know that some first impressions can be really messed up, but usually they're ok. I wouldn't hold it against them for the rest of their lives if they continually showed themselves to be different from the first encounter.

I dont believe on first impresion. I cannot find out about a person personality until i know his values.

I don't believe in first impression, but sometimes I fall into it!

First impressions could be lies...sec impressions should be taken into account too lol

i dont judge someone from thier looks , but from the first conversation !! but if i realised later, that i got that person tottlay wrong ,, then i will CORRECT the way i look at him\her ....

well ,, i sometimees believe in first impression ,, but in the life time ,, every thing will be clearer ,, so i can change my impression :D

yeah! first impression..that thing got me in some serious *hit :hehe:

but i guess i've learned my lesson..i never do that anymore.. :angel:

knowing someone enough to tell if he's a jerk needs more time than the first impression thing can provide..

I consider the first impression quite important. It's basically the first thoughts or opinion you make of someone. Sometimes this opinion is purely based on a gut feeling and other times based on different random things. Example, your mood, the actual situation which you saw/meet this new person in...etc

But the best part is that you are aware it's your first impression of that person, which means you are in control of how that opinion manipulates your future communication with that person.

In my case, I always keep the first impression in mind, but also keep an open mind of what more that person is about or try to understand what gave me that impression in the first place...

yea its important might give an idea...BUT will not give you the whole picture of a person though.
Might be decieving ! and at many instences it might cause misunderstandings and even disputes.

In the end first impression Judgmnet might have much of subjectivity into it!

Sadly that most of you here judge the book by its cover.
