Do you think a person’s outward appearance says anything about who they are as a person?

Question

Finchie40 · Accepted Answer

It depends but to be a 100 percent sure , not really it’s more 50/50, Like the old saying , Never judge a book by it’s cover but most people tend to do this based on someone’s appearance , they might automatically assume the person is mean or bad , an asshole , a bitch or they might think the person is nice and friendly and still be wrong , etc. Me personally never really judges someone based off of their appearance , It might cross my mind that they can possibly be this or that, but until I physically get to know someone I tend not to assume 100 percent. When I was younger in my school days , I was labeled a head banger , I had the long hair , wore the jeans and metal t shirts and leather biker jacket , backwards hat. etc. I know people assumed me as being bad and looking for trouble but little did they know I actually had a big heart and was laid back and loved to laugh , I remember a girl I hooked up with once that told me that before she got to know me she assumed I was trouble and I looked intimidating , I laughed and said seriously , as for her she was considered a preppy girl and why she was hooking up with a headbanger , who knows lol the point is no one should really judge someone based off of their appearance but people still constantly do it today and it’s so dumb , Look how many people loved Ted Bundy , His appearance and his personality captured a lot of people , literally

This is a very beautiful question I love this question because when I first meet somebody I look into their eyes I want to be able to feel their heartbeat I want to see and read The beauty within and I want to know exactly who they are and then when I'm finished looking there I do look at the outside and if it's just a normal Plain Jane type of girl then I say The Outsiders just a bonus point but if the girl on the inside transform the girl on the outside to feel like the girl on the inside I absolutely love it I hope that made sense

To an extent, yes. How well they take care of themselves says a lot, but beware that it can vary greatly based on the situation. If someone saw me after I got into Kansas City on a 3-hour-late train, they wouldn't think I'm that hot (not as if I'm that hot in any case).

keniyaa · Accepted Answer

no but sometimes people have that face where they look like they mad but they not, but no once u get to know a person u know what the stand for and their importance,

MasseurDeMojo · Answer

People can look great on the outside, but on the inside they can be horrible. Just because a person is beautiful; you should never assume that they are a good person. Always look at the heart. The heart will tell you their true self.

I have met people who look like they are very rough, and live a bad life; but once I talked to them, I learned that they were sociable, and a good person worth knowing.

Never assume based on looks; always talk to a person with an open mind, so you can learn who that person is inside!

NHI2017 · Answer

It all depends,

I have ben told by girls, I can look like bad news sometimes.

Over 6ft tall, Jeans, worn out work boots, Unshaven beard. Carhart jacket, and a beanie

I've had girls tell me this

if i was stareing at someone in a parking lot, or gas station, They would probably be affraid of me.
Guys. Or girls. I just look scary.
If they didn’t know me

Until they get to know me, and just realize im a big goofball, And actually pretty friendly.

Some of the nicest people I've ever met Are covered in tattoos, And some of the biggest peices of S*it I've ever met. Wear a suit and tie.

And thats facts. Personal experience

Bluemax · Answer

What does her appearance tell you about her?

Effably · Answer

Absolutely. Strange if it didn't. Work a lot with your hands? Hands change. It will show.

Oh it won't tell you if they are nice or naughty but it does tell quite a lot. Its like getting the bits that connect one puzzle piece to another more so than the actual pieces.

nolabels · Answer

Absolutely. You still can't judge a book by it's cover, but the cover is part of the story.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

It can, however years ago I stopped looking at the outward appearance of people and more on who they were, acted and treated others. the persona we present to others is often not the real us.

exitseven · Answer

Sometimes it can. A lot of time you can tell about a person in a way opposite of what that person wants to project/. If somebody wears designer clothes all the time they may want to project confidence but in reality they are really insecure.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

How a person carries themselves tell you a lot about them and the outward appearance tells me whether I should approach them or just go on about my business

bolverk · Answer

I have met some people in my travels that were physically beautiful, hansom men and knock out women, but they all had really stinking personalities who cared for none but themselves.
But I've also met people who were ordinary in looks but had personalities that shone and they cared for everyone around them.
So I'd say that looks can mean nothing and sometimes don't match the personality inside.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Good question. I think it depends on whether they're trying or not. Like, did they intentionally pick that outfit for going out? Or did they just throw something on? If it's something they intentionally and carefully chose to wear, then yes, it reflects them. But if it's just clothes, then no; you don't really know who they are.

crazy8000 · Answer

Both yes and no.

It's the only thing others can perceive us as.
no matter if it's just a front for the moment or a part of who we are.

Reverse it.
How do you build a perception about someone how they are

When it comes to it it's a part of us even if it's just a rare one.

And people that has certain mental issues tends to hide it just to don't get bothered. ( like depression anxiety sadness loneliness, voices and see thing's that isn't there )

Feelicks · Answer

To a fairly limited extent. I mean if someone has grills on their teeth and thug life tattooed on their forehead I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're probably not into basket weaving.

loves2learn · Answer

Nahhh. I don’t really think it does. Unless you also take into account their facial expressions and demeanor.

Wisdom-Strength-Love · Answer

most definitely. No guy wants to marry a super hot chick. We just want to slay the dragon and have a story to tell.

anylolone · Answer

What they do to signal their internal vision of themselves do say anything about who they are as a person.
But in order to understand it, you usually need behavioral clues.

I deduced that a bunch of black guys in an empty field in casual clothes were engineers/architects/investors planning a project over how they handled a piece of paper. You could construe that piece of paper as part of how they portrayed their inner world.

electromagnetic · Answer

I think we dress and act a person way because that’s how we’d like to be viewed by others. I’m a wolf in sheep skin in terms of niceness. I can only imagine how others are.

Sweepthelegjonny · Answer

Oh yeah!! You can tell a lot about a person from their appearance.

Belgie · Answer

It can tell me a little - like if they care what other people think, or if they value comfort more than style

Mehzmeh · Answer

Some times. But it's that old saying, never judge a book by it's cover. Lol.

People see me and think I am scary. Then they talk to me. And realize I am teddy bear until I get mad. Which barley happens. Lol

DianaWest · Answer

yes. women who show their ass or boobs in public. can't help but feel that they are trying a little too hard.

AndrewMG · Answer

Not necessarily but it can be used as a tool when judging people... I mean thats just natural mate.

Exterminatore · Answer

Of course. We all represent who we are on the inside to some extent by our clothing choices, facial hair choices, jewelry choices, hair styles choices and our tattoos.

Fion3il · Answer

Yeah. Age can give a big hint, so can effort towards makeup and other things. Generally its not good to generalize but it can help to understand them and know what to expect a bit

Likes2drive · Answer

Sometimes depending on how they take care of themselves

MudRucker · Answer

People are assigned their looks at birth, so you can't judge on physical characteristics. However, how one presents himself speaks volumes.

Mikeysoda · Answer

It says quite a bit, but not the full picture for sure.

Leavesbound · Answer

It can indicate it yes but a lot of people wear masks (metaphorically).

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Not necessarily. The heart reflects the person not clothing.

rcljr · Answer

I can spot sjw’s a mile away by their Ronald McDonald clown hair, so, YES, very much so.

FamilyGuy2020 · Answer

Initially I would say yes to be perfectly honest. But then again you don't know the real person and story Inside. So How can you actually judge anyone by their own tattoos.

blondfrog · Answer

maybe a little can you guess what my personality is like?

Starwitch23 · Answer

I would say yes because nowadays people use makeup and clothes as a self expression.

K-I-S-S · Answer

Clothes, hygiene, hair, their step, posture, voice tone, bodyshape etc etc can tell a lot.

Adam_West · Answer

yes, for example, your appearance tells that you are an alien.

Still-alive · Answer

posture and stance yes... what they are wearing... tattoos, piercings? nope

Nazgol · Answer

Usually yes but then again we can't judge a book by its cover..

OddBeMe · Answer

Absolutely. Like the guys driving the biggest cars.

JesseJayNeak · Answer

No. Their appearance doesn't necessarily reflect their character

WHOSAYING · Answer

Abdulwahh · Answer
