Do you judge people before you get to know them? (79)

I actually don't think I really "judge" people before OR after I get to know them, meaning that if I don't like them, I just assume they're not the right person for me (be it business, friends, acquaintances etc). Sure I evaluate them as to whether they'd be compatible with me/suitable for whatever is the plan, but "judge" them, rarely... (unless I really dislike them)

I'd rather judge a scammer here...
Scammers are usually very sweet...

The first strange sign...I JUDGE them!

Everyone judges people, but some are more judgmental than others.

It like first impressions. We see or come into contact with someone and immediately make a choice on weather there is any point of going further with it. In cs we may take more time to get to know someone only to find later on that they are not someone who you want to spend time with and it works the opposite way too, We may have dismissed someone as not my type only to discover that they are really worth getting to know.
In real life judging is made all the time.
How someone is dressed and presents themselves is the first thing we have to go on.
That homeless person is not someone who we are going to befriend and that drug user is a scum bag.
The guy in the suit must be worth a look or the girl with the education is surely has to be nice. Because someone has not been successful in life does not mean they are not nice people. And what is success anyway, it means different things to different people.

Yes I judge people but not for things that are beyond their control and I try not to be judgmental,although in my younger years I would have been guilty of that a lot.

I go with my instincts. I try to give people a chance but I stay back a bit until I am more sure that they are what they say they are.

No... I tend to see the potential good in people so if i come to a negative conclusion about a person.. it is based on experience... there are very few people that come into this category for me though...

I am tolerant of all sorts of quirks.. dishonesty and extreme selfishness however I find difficult to torerate...

You must make judgments all throughout the process of getting to know someone. That's not good or bad, per se - simply unavoidable.

By "judgments" I don't mean condemnations or final conclusions, but rather preliminary evaluations. Those evaluations grow more elaborate and certain as we learn more about the individual.

I suppose that phrase 'too sweet to be wholesome' came from somewhere... I guess 'scammers' wouldn't enjoy any level of success if they came accross as a*seholes though would they.. stands to reason that they would appear 'nice' I guess

Oh nooooo..... I would never Judge anyone.
But I can spot an Idiot at 200 yards

No, I don't judge, I look for the positive. I think you can tell right off if there will be spark & tingle when you meet for the first time. I think it's about chemistry or something.

Is it right to have an opinion on people depending on the company they keep or appear to keep ?? not really ..

Judging is almost like predicting when none of us are really psychic.

I understand all the reasons mentioned but all said and done .. give the person a chance to be himself/herself so that you can get a fair picture then.

We must be cautious and follow our inner feelings, yes !! but not opine about someone when we havent seen the other side of the coin.

As for me , i can be a little prejudiced but it doesnt defer me from talking or mixing with that person as we can know for real only with time.
