Why people judge others just from photos

February 03 2010

I have a question from couples, guys and girls, Why most people judge others  just looking on their pics, even knowing that the particular person/ couple could be nice or the better one in nature, could be friendly or just could be the one they are looking for. Why people don't understand how could you judge a book by its cover. Yes we understand that every one has their likes or dislikes and they know what type of attractiveness they are looking in other people's faces and bodies but where is the trade off between the look and the personality (person's habits and nature).How can people say or think by just looking on face or clothed pics that its not a match without giving the other person any chance to prove it.The last thing does the skin colour really matters to yous in our experience it does for many people but its another thing they accept it or not.

    I guess many people have pretty generic/similar profiles...."easy going, down to earth, GSOH..." etc etc u know what im talking about....i prob even have some of that crap in mine, i don't know, i really can't remember.   So what im getting at is that pics is an easy way to differentiate straight off the bat...i know for me it can be make or break for who i approach/respond to. I agree, it's totally fickel, and judging a book by its cover is not reccommended but i guess it's kinda just the nature of the beast with this place...im sure we've all done it before....and obviously sometimes u just know it aint gonna work out.   But keep on trucking, the RHP freeway is a long one with many twists and turns ;)

    And the RHP supermarket is open for business!! Speaking from the view point of someone who did not have a profile pic & receiving only the odd email I attracted from my blurb....to holiday madness and bombarding same with pics....what a difference! My (in)box is overflowing!   Re ppl's reaction to said pics...and mine for that matter its a bit like choosing your groceries....do you buy the bruised fruit? The dinted can? The slightly off colour meat? It could be a really nice inside but hey...its human nature to seek the best looking, tasty product one can buy and lets face it....some RHP'ers have to pay thru the nose to get access to some of what is on offer so...its a buyers market!!

    It's the photo taken through the toothpaste spit all over the bathroom mirror that puts me off. I mean really .. are you guys looking at what we're looking at? And all those annoying lens flair photos... And if you have knobby knees.. trim the photo off at the thighs.. lol... a torso shot worked fine in Ancient Rome... even with their arms gone they still look sexy!   Hugs Stalky

    I've noted of late that you've taken to abundantly engaging the comma in every sentence.... Now I did expect more from you and, being a librarian and all, you should lead by example and place commas only where required. hehe  Give your spares to a good home. :p   Hugs Stalky<<<< pulling your leg, sexy bum!

    Of course you judge a book by its cover. If you didnt they wouldnt have glossy covers ,they would be covered in brown paper with the title writen in texta. If there is no physical attraction in the beginning things are'nt going  to work in the bedroom. Not saying you have to be supermodle material, much prefer a woman with a bit of meat on their bones, but there does have to be some sort of visual attraction.

    I certainly don't....but its human nature to be drawn to the sight of beauty.be it different to everyonehence the saying.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder...Like fine art one has to sit and take it in as such.the intent of what the artist is conveying...the longer you look..one can see the brush strokes,or dots , colours..etcof course its the person as a whole....but some people dont want to take a small amount of time to see beyond the face.Yet first appearances in the work place is accepted..often thats what a potental employer looks at...xoxoxheymumma

    But for us no matter how 'attractive' the pic, it's nothing without a decent profile {excerpt from book} that gives some idea of personality to start with... to decide if we want to go on and read any of the rest of the book.You show me yours and I'll show you mine... only once did we go to msn without swapping pics and we were horrified to have the conversation terminated because of our looks. Not going there again lol.Good luck

    It's not shallow, it's natural. Physical attraction is important. And yes, of course so is personality, but the first thing that attracts you when you see someone in the flesh is the physical. This can be linked to the personality...E.G. they're smiling, so they're a happy and friendly person and that makes them attractive.   Sure, ultimately it comes down to personality. On RHP i won't bother responding responding to profiles that have a one line blurb and nothing else besides pics- They have to have a personality to attract me as well or if it ever came to a meeting it would just be full of awkward silences, which does not lead to fun times had by all!   That being said, there's someone for everyone. Everyone has different taste and one man's trash is another man's treasure.   Red   xxx

    I totally agree in platonic matters, but given the nature of the site a person's attraction, or not, to another's appearance will more often than not, naturally be the initially defining factor in whether or not to pursue/accept any further liaison. I mean in a sexual context, if there's no physical attraction what's the point of physical contact?

    we tend to agree this isnt RSVP...so yes looks count of course.   however we dont judge by pics alone...but if profile is sparce, and pics are crap (close ups of girls breast or ankle??, spread pussy close up...yuck ) and no pics of guy (no ..its NOT all about you girls ) it wont encorage us to wink or message you..   so many profiles with terrible pics...what were they thinking   Neo and Blaze

    ha ha!! so, this explains why I dont do much good here :) i THOUGHT when it came to sex it didnt really matter: I mean.. you jam plastic bottles, wodden items, candles, broom handles, gear levers, lumps of latex rubber and all kinds of unnatural things in your arses and snatches.. but, us ugly bastards, EVEN if we smell good, dont get a sniff... even if we are the greatest lovers in the world.. even if we can hit your "G" spot everytime... even if we can .... ahh!! what does it matter.... *grins* I had a song played for me one night.. Liz Phair- supernova... a line about fucking like a volcano!! I want to speak for you other ugly fckrs out there... "sex is somethiing powerfull..totally animalistic, the primary mandate of every living organism... we can do it like they do it on the discovery channel.. in the dust, in the street, in the dirt and sand.. in rivers and oceans and peoples swimming pools.. in towns drinkiing water reservoirs... on kitchen tables, in public toilets... us uglies fck like rattlers.. for fun.. and HAVE fun!! I am hairy: I fart and burp and scratch my nuts.. scratch my arse, laugh till I cry, and fck you on my harley at 80miles an hour along a country road in the summer rains... thank fck I am not a pretty boy who is too stiff to get it happening anywhere but in a bedroom :) Oh my!! I'll get off my soapbox now :) cheers all kio

    Quoting 'Nick_Wilde' 1. Its a sex site....is it only that? 2. Sex is physical, it needs not emotion nor personality ....don't agree at all 3. If a person does not even have a photo I don't even bother....agreed 4. I have standards, I will not sleep with just anyone. ....agreed again 5. Read the profile, that should give a fair indication of personality and nature....maybe 6. I don't care if you're the nicest sweetest girl around, if you look like a pig dog forget it. A pig in perfume is still a pig. ....you could do better than this Nick, sheesh 7. I mean I have standards and expectations and if I'm putting in all the effort I have a right to be fussy and or blunt ....hmmmm ?? 8. Every now and then you will get an exception to the rules like MissBJ, she's gorgoeus and she has a personality. ....yep, she is gorgeous?? Some good points Nick, I cut and pasted them because you summed up some of my feelings but not all of them...I normally read the profile first then look at the pics...Sure, I judge on pics, but only if a profile is bland (generic)...And the forums are the places where a person really shines....or falls on their face...*smiles*cheersjose...

    Little Nicky's # 7. I mean I have standards and expectations and if I'm putting in all the effort I have a right to be fussy and or blunt ... lmfao... some people have grace, style and are well mannered. Others ciommunicate abruptly, lacking any evidence of refinement or subtlety. You don't earn teh right to be blunt.. you simply demonstrate your incapacity to be anything else, Nicky. Not that I mind, I mean, it's kind of fascinating. Miss BJ is classy though..... just my opinion. lol. Hugs Stalky

    What if we could try before we buy ? Or maybe this could be the webcam aisle..So we see a pic and click on to say hi..Ask our probing questions to form an opinion on the person or people, not just looking at a photo which lets face it whose photo genic ..I just cant take a good pic..

    Quoting 'JOSEin4REPAIRS' Quoting 'Nick_Wilde' 6. I don't care if you're the nicest sweetest girl around, if you look like a pig dog forget it. A pig in perfume is still a pig. ....you could do better than this Nick, sheesh agreed, either "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" - or a delightful old expression about lipstick on a pig used during the last US presdidential campaign. (I've never heard 'perfume on a pig' before, I have to admit, it has a certain something going for it)oh, I 'judge'* based on pictures, attraction isn't JUST about magical mental connection. I don't see anything wrong with people admitting that they have certain things that they find more or less attractive.(Alternately, is it fair to judge someone based just on their personality - I mean, it really is dictated by the unique way their brain and its chemistry have linked up together... isn't it shallow to judge someone on a quirk of brain composition? would you judge someone because of their skin colour? :p or isn't it equally silly to get so worked up over calling people shallow for this that and the other - you like what you like)* judgement not intended on the "oh you're a bad person" or the like.

    "You don't earn the right to be blunt.. you simply demonstrate your incapacity to be anything else." LOVE IT Stalky! This is going to be my quote for the week! Well, that and "your pics did funny things to the front of my undies"...had me blushing and giggling that one did. I am kind of facinated too Nick! I always find myself cocking my head to one side when reading your posts. Now, about pics...I have to say that I am always drawn to the more arty pics rather than the subject. To me, that shows a lot about a persons personality. Also love pics (and I'm talking in general, not just on here) showing peoples faces and their smiles...that also shows me a lot about who they are - if they're happy, carefree, troubled, laid back, funny...

    This subject is a bit rich coming from a hot foot in a black stiletto ffs. Secondly its pretty damned obvious why we look at pics. If you make my pee pee happy I might try to let you know. If not, well, we can still be friends?? You never know, with enough alcohol I become bisexual according to the Stalky! Random
