I am whatever you say I am

Instinctively we as humans tend to assume certain things about others as soon as we see them for the first time. This is something that comes naturally though most of us do not like to judge a book by its cover so to speak, we do this subconsciously most of the time not even realizing that we are not giving someone the benefit of the doubt in getting to know them before we draw conclusions.

I feel that this is even easier to do when it comes to profiles and the internet. Does one picture give you the story on someone's entire life? Or even a general, brief summery of their likes and dislikes?

Along with the fact that we are so rushed with our lives........does anyone really take the TIME to get to know someone on a deeper level anymore? Is it even possible?cool

Your oppinions:

In most cases its not worth getting to know the person, because they probably won't bother to get to know you.

Unfortunately, if you do eventually find someone worth getting to know, something will usually come along to mess it up in one way or another.

Words on paper are just words on paper. A person has to visually see someone to begin getting to really know them and passing judgment. People arrive on CS with different priorities; seeking love, new friends, presenting opinions, bashing men, bashing women etc. Time does pass quickly by. Thus time is better spent developing relationships instead of condemning wrong turns taken in the past. Platonic is better than rejection. Intimacy is better than platonic, love is better than intimacy. Introverts, extroverts, and neutrals all mixed together like a Chef Salad.

Some people say "first impression is the best impression" and some say "you should talk to the person to know more". But assume a boy approaching a girl or vice-verse in a crowd what will you notice at a distance of 30ft? Is he tall? Is he handsome? Is he fat? Is he old? so many lists run in the brain (even in guys). Before even having the 1st word a lot of decision is already made. A conversation of a few minutes will go nowhere rather than both of them wasting their time even if one person is not interested.

In that case through email I am sure you can know more and overcome shy (like in my case) or any other factor like time or looking for a special characteristics or something like that. I feel internet makes sense for finding people. But to find if it is a perfect match or not is through talks. You need to talk more and know about both. I think most people are so good that they are unable to find what they are looking for and end up here. Who knows? A divine match may occur here.

It is amazing how many liberal minded people out there will take someone at face value because they don't have the ability to relate to the broad spectrum of the society they claim to be down with. So often it happens people open the door to the wolf in sheeps clothing, when the wolf in wolves clothing would be a safer option. G,day part, hope you ain't too bummed about the blues. Was hoping they,d wincheers

I think alot of people assume things, even in dating..Most of the time us women assume the man we like is going to live up to his words about himself or his intentions, and then it gets us in trouble emotionally when we find out, "he lied".. lol

You're right Swiss,
Sometimes you just want to believe something so badly about someone that you can convince yourself of something which is false only to find that it was a waist of timeroll eyes

True Sherwood,

Either way I guess we have to take our time and really be sure that we know exactly who it is we are dealing with before we assume anything be it bad or goodthumbs up

Ofcourse I agree with You dear Lana We must not judge the book as its cover.We must open the cover and turn the pages to read in order to have an idea.But if you think about people.Than the position changes because you can face with harm from that person Who you meet with.Therefore ; You can make a pre- examine or pre-search for him or her before being friends with him or her. This is the most benifical way of human relationship.Otherwise You may put into a fool person character by the person Who you meet.

These are my all ideas about this topic.And I would like to share these with you and with the involving friends in this blog. wave drinking
