You just see them around?
Do we have an instinct, do you think?
So we sense someon's personality, just by their demenour etc????
"I'm a great judge or character."

yes
definitely
sure
if they're not forcing a newborn baby into their mouth or onto their penis.
dinner?
I don't think so
I think
there is a natural instinct. It happens within seconds, for instance when you're attracted to someone. I feel I can pretty much 'know' a person very quickly.
I think it takes a while
to fully know a person
yeha
although in my experience, after a little while you realise they're not sometimes.
but body language when they're with other people and stuff says a lot.
You don't know them.
So... nope. Is this a trick question?
nah
you may think that about them and sometimes you may be right and sometimes you may be wrong but there is no way to "know".
definitely
there was a guy who used to get my bus home from work evrey day and he was always grinning like mad. i ended up high fiving him every day for the last week of work. so he turned out to be ace
Yes
I think so.
people look like who they are
what?
I
was kind of thinking that.
It's a shallow thing to say but sometimes people seem to beam out thier kindness, theway they act around others.
You can tell they're not pushy etc or that they aren't too loud.x
I think it has alot to do with faces
and expressivness, how a person 'is' is bound to become ingrained in a persons face after awhile
True dat
He would see faces in movies, on t.v., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....and
Through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his
Mind....or somewhere in the back of his mind....that he might, by
Force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....the
Change would be very subtle....it might take ten years or so....
Gradually his face would change its shape....a more hooked nose...
Wider, thinner lips....beady eyes....a larger forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
People....they had also molded their faced according to some
Ideal....maybe they imagined that their new face would better
Suit their personality....or maybe they imagined that their
Personality would be forced to change to fit the new appearance....this is why first impressions are often correct...
Although some people might have made mistakes....they may have
Arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them....
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
Whim, or momentary impulse....some may have gotten half-way
There, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.
yes
but it's not mystical. Just micro expressions
I wouldn't say i KNOW people on here, as such
and i can guage who i think'd be really nice
totally yes
human instinct is strong - without it an acute sense of danger we would never have reached this stage of evolution
HOWEVER
beware the overriding mating instinct which might have you project your fantasy onto someone who looks genetically attractive
yes
that is also true, aobut the 'mating instinct' as I find myself defending people who are completely innapropriate
'oh he's a nice boy really'
haha
Most of my closest friends
I can remember when I first saw them and stuff, and something about them sticking even if I didn´t talk to them.
where did i find you?
i actually have no idea!
I fell on you from a tree
like D Boon onto Mike Watt.
if this wasn't so memorable
i probably would believe you
I so want it to have actually happened now
maybe we should just continually claim it did until neither of us can remember that it didn´t.
i think this is possible
i was going to do a big rant but i can't word it properly. about me thinking most girls are bitches and usually being right.
we should drink soon
yeah i think so too!
no
I start off from the position that everyone is a complete shit
and then wait to see if I'm proved wrong.
Misanthropy FTW.
yes
juries think the same think according to a survey
Isn't there a saying?
to truly know someone you have to sleep with them or work with them?
i reckon a chat over a pint is a quick indication.
I think the answer is a definite no
People who are a "good judge of character" are most likely to just jump to conclusions and stereotype based on the little they have witnessed of that person.
They use this perceived judgement as justification to not make an effort to get to know the person better.
They should no be so quick to judge; one should not assume that someone is a cunt until there is no resonable doubt.
Nothing annoys me more than idiots who proclaim themselves as "good judges of character" as if this is some kind of virtue. It just means you are narrow minded and have a much higher opinion of yourself than is warranted.
*thing
yeah, you get an incling
but there's no way of knowing for definite.
Probably just your aspergers acting up
I think so
Like with mrs knees i had this experiance
one of my girlfriends mates
goes by the rule of automatically disliking people until provan otherwise, even if he has never spoken to them. I can't decide whether this is clever or incredibly cunty.
I suspect the latter.
cunty
unless she solely meets twats
also frustrating
is how people no longer seem to have the time to get to know people well. In order to save time they will tend to make a rushed judgement based on what little they have witnessed of the person.
This means the extroverts get all the company because they appear instantly appealing and rewarding company in the short term; however introverts who may offer an incrediblty rewarding relationship once more effort has been made to know them are left on the shit pile of life because noone wants to take a risk or put in the effort.
don't count on it
sorry that was my magic 8 ball
I'm always right
when I decide to hate a girl.
until they notice me..then she's ok
If you've just seen them around, no.
You mght have seen them give money to the beggar but not kick the cat up the arse.
Considering most people are poor judges of character, no.
