When meeting people for the first time, do you assume their relationship status based on their looks? Why/why not?

[Pinay_ako]

Examples:

• A good looking person is married/taken/engaged
• A plain Jane is no way married
• A nerd cannot have a hot partner
• A hottie cannot be single
• An older woman/man is married with kids because they’re older

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’ve never done that.

I usually don’t think too much about them, unless I feel introverted for some reason, usually I go head over heels into the enjoyment of a moment and have no time to think about their personal lives. If I am curious about something I ask. If we’ve had a couple drinks, they even cry on my shoulder or laugh in my lap, and usually I can tell from that whether they are happy or not.

[JaxiCats]

No I can’t. There’s a lot of people that I’ve met that I thought weren’t in a relationship but were and those I thought were weren’t

[DaveJord]

If I meet a totally nice-looking woman with a great sense of humor, I assume she is taken, and if she is not, I assume there is a story or reason as to why she isn't taken.

But I am 46, the younger you are the less this logic would apply. But I do not let it get int he way of anything.

[ronaldo75]

God you are incredibly judgmental for a 41 year old with your lower level of looks.

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 thanks

[Bricealan]

"@Pinay_ako And you gave him MHO?

[Pinay_ako]

@Bricealan yes 🙌 . What doesn’t hurt me deserves a spotlight. It’s called sarcasm

[Bricealan]

Wow what a jerk he is...

[ronaldo75]

@Bricealan So i'm a jerk but she's allowed to judge people as nerds and all the rest of it? Also she's older than 41.

[Pinay_ako]

And here you are judging women with their age?

[Bricealan]

@ronaldo75 I apologize, sir, I should not have used that kind of language, and I'm sorry but please read her post again and note that she was not making fun of anyone, just asking for what they thought. Again, I'am sorry for my language.

[Leapfrog00]

Not always, but sometimes I assume a pretty girl has a boyfriend, especially when they are arguing with someone on a phone. The area I live in, people aren't really picky, mostly because a lot of them are drugged up all the time.

I see what you mean though. Based on people's looks and age, we as humans sometimes assume their relationship status.

[Finchie40]

No , I don’t assume anything, we don’t walk around with signs flashing above our heads stating what we are into and what our relationship status is , If I see a beautiful girl that catches my eye , I go for it , I rather have an answer than no answer at all is how I look at it , I know most people are shy and nervous but once you get past that stage if you can , you will realize it’s worth just taking the chance then just going home and then kicking yourself in the ass for it later.

[SnowedIn]

Nope.

Learned that in high school when a porn hot girl had a long term relationship with a guy who didn't look all that great and was a bit awkward.

It was a good learning experience for me.

[ChiTown33]

Never really thought about it. Most people I meet are typically with thier partners in social situations. So it's not exactly a mystery who's single and who isn't. But no i don't worry about it. Because I tend to let women approach me. So I'm not going to worry about whether she's attached or not till she approaches me.

[JustMeL120]

No. I think honestly the majority of people are not as good looking as they think or appear. The majority of people are pretty average looking actually from close up. Most are dating yes but verry average looking people.

[menina]

I do, I always do. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. 😬😬 When I'm meeting someone for the first time I always make assumptions about them, just they probably make assumptions about me.

[menina]

* and they probably

[CaptainOverthink]

What? No.
Never.

I have fat, nasty friends that has hot gfs, because of their charisma.
That says it all to me, internals matter more.

[Red-Blaze]

Not really, I assume everyone single till they show something else
I try to not assume so assume the most basic

[midnightmoon05]

Not at all. I like to get to know their heart through deeper conversations…. Not by their looks.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Some girls are very flirty, even when married. Some hide their status so well, you're taken totally off guard. But eventually, the truth gets out.

[spartan55]

Although my internal bias may start down that path, I've learned anything is possible in relationships.

[RavVid]

As a sentient being I generalize and anticipate. I am more likely to assume an older guy or woman is divorced with kids.

[TooHot2Care]

Nope, but I found out that due to my looks that people assume I'm a player and a lot of my frustration might be the fact that I don't just lean into this role. . . .

[AdithyaR]

A person's relationship status never really comes up in my mind when meeting for the first time. Honestly it doesn't come up unless they mention it. I never ask about their relationship status.

[Curious_teen07]

No. I know every type of people you mentioned with a different status

[exitseven]

Usually when I used to see a really hot girl with a weird looking guy I always figured drugs were involved.

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. I've seen loathsome individuals who somehow had snagged someone and stunning, sweet women who had not been asked out for more than a year.

[Yannishka]

No I don't think about their relationship status when meeting them for the first time.

[ericclayton]

A lot of beautiful women you think are taken are not because many guys are intimidated. They won't approach.

[Legendarylegacy13]

I guess everybody is married or has somebody... unless their 19 and works at Kroger... lol

[PointTaken]

Nah. I don't assume anything. If I'm wondering I'll ask.

[Jltakk]

I do the same thing, though I just assume anyone that looks average upwards is probably married and everyone else is taken.

[shades777]

I look at the fingers, married folk tend to wear rings at least the faithful do.

[rosemilk]

lmao that's the last thing i think of

[VIVANT]

Nope, I don’t assume.

[Bricealan]

Probably so... but just my humble opinion.

[motownplayer2000]

Never judge a book by its cover

[motownplayer2000]

Even tho that’s the reason for the cover in a book is to judge if it would be a good book for you to ready

[Sasha0426]

That’s what I would always assume.

[Sparkie460]

I never assumed anything.

[dragoblack]

Yep, just because of my luck with romance

[Katrina1987]

Yes unless said otherwise.

[msc545]

no that would be a big mistake.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No, never.

[304strichZUP]

No, I guess woman do that

[justabuddy]

No, because I rarely get this stuff correct.

[4ngelic]

not really

[BoopBoopBeep]

i dont do that

[serious_miss419]

I trust my instincts

[Fuentes]

Lol no

[TallAnon]

Nope, you never know

[WhiteBoyChill]

I sure do
