HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO MAKE A GOOD/GREAT ‘FIRST IMPRESSION’ (esp. in the dating game)? (32)
I would say very important and even more important now that our attention span has gone right down. However, I think this is what Socrates and Jesus were all about. We murdered them whilst Jimmy Savile was a national treasure. People can be so quick to judge.

So true CC....that's so true. But sometimes that judgement might be right

It's important on occasions like job interview or in a presentation to finalise a business deal etc...
But
Never rely on just first impression when it comes to choose a partner in crime (I mean Love
)...
You may deeply regret it later..
You know ! Most colorful insects are usually most deadly venomous

Women decide in a couple of seconds. And hardly change their mind.
Men also decide quick but a woman can usually change his mind.

I think that you are right, but I also think that the reason women may do so is based in Intuition and Self-preservation. Standards are usually different for women than they are for men...Men also decide quick but a woman can usually change his mind.

First impressions are important in a job interview. The interviewer will size you up in the first ten minutes without looking at your Resume or CV.
When meeting someone you met online the first time it's important to remember the lies you told in all those emails and texts.

I tend to make a bad impression

It's harder to get a real first impression online.
But face to face it's a matter of few minutes.
There's no real importance if you make a good first impression...
If the person dislikes you for whatever reason there will hardly be a second chance to impress. And to be fair who would want to try again if they are poorly presented or judged the first time.

That's important for sure. But can't you be yourself AND make a good/great first impression at the same time?

I don't see why people can't impress just by being themselvesTo me if it buzzes through ones mind how to impress a man or employer then you're not being yourself

I agree, and it would be discouraging indeed. Maybe making a good first impression is just too much pressureBut face to face it's a matter of few minutes.

It depends on why you want to make the impression good at any cost...We are not always in our best behaviour or state of mind, looks...
You lose nothing anyway...
When you stop worrying about that you will certainly attract people who can see beyond and through...

many will be on their reasonably best "game" the first couple of times at the least.
does that make them a quality person in the long haul?
i'd rather fully presentable and real as a person from the start.
it's hard for me to fake being a conversationalist when my real nature is pretty quiet over all, and semi-focused. semi-active. i work a lot.
so what should i expect another to be? we don't even really know what we want or looking for until it's in front of us in some manor.
unless major alarms go off from the start or not drawn in certain ways, we won't know until given or giving a reasonable chance. have to try to know yay or nay.

I can't be bothered to put on a show in order to 'make a good impression' when it comes to relationships. I'd rather focus on 'seeing him' and how he is as a person than on putting on a performance. We either like one another or we don't

It is to a closed minded person.
Saying that you would want to try to make a good impression, but if things go awry then an open minded and calm person would have the intelligence to say never write someone or something off so quickly...it takes years to know someone really...you won't get much in the first meeting of what could be a fantastic person all because they wore dirty shoes to a first date..

A good first impression well I'm not very good at that. It got me thinking about some of my first dates and now I can't stop laughing.

Don't really have much of a game unless it's rescuing a really bad first impression made by accident. Anytime you fall over in front of somebody, you did it to make them look. You did it beautifully and definitely not because you're a clumsy gawp, that's the last thing you are.

Making a fool of yourself is humiliating for you but it is also entertaining for everyone else. So concentrate on everyone else. If you can put yourself in another person's shoes then tripping over your own shoe laces can be turned into a positive. Far more entertaining than embarrassing if you don't take yourself too seriously.
