If you don't judge others based on appearance, then no one looks like a threat to you, right?

[HawkPerception]

Yes

No

[Johnkramer98]

Apprearances are a matter of choice and choice shows one's character thus showing a bit of his personality. So this whole "dont jugde others from appearance" rhetoric is really bs. You judge from appearance cause appearance is choice and thus consequence

[HawkPerception]

Exactly

[Zack-Bann]

Everyone judges based on appearance even those who are convinced they don’t

[dustybiker2]

Clearly you haven't met everyone yet

[Zack-Bann]

And yet just like I know everyone has a brain, a heart, and a liver
I also know they judge on appearance

Doesn’t mean they have the same judgments

[Summeroflove]

I’m respectful to everyone unless they don’t deserve it but I also don’t trust anyone either. Good and bad people come in all forms as well as most people aren’t black and white most are a mixture of both but…. What are they more of?

But I do agree there are some people who just give you the creeps and I go with my gut.

[HawkPerception]

Well said

Thanks

We all judge on a appearance I'm sure. I don't think we can help it! But experience also aids us in changing perceptions. For instance tattoos are becoming seen as artistic and beautiful so effect people less than the days when it was a sign of a criminal or thug.

I think body language is more key to judging. Like in that example picture the angry furrowed brow and crossed arms are hostile. I'd avoid him for that. But if he was smiling and arms open I would not.

[HawkPerception]

So you wouldn't be wary approaching this guy?

[Crimsyjo]

No of course not lol. I mean I'm not attracted to him to approach him. But like if we were at a bar I'd enjoy a friendly convo with him. I'd ask about his tats of c. I love tattoos. I can show u type of guy I would avoid. And is totally my prejudices influencing it.

[HawkPerception]

Sure I'd like to see what ya mean

I don't like drug culture. Guys acting all gangsta. I mean I'm not opposed fully to weed smoking. But it's the whole imagery and "I'm a hard man. Pussy bitches are hoes" attitude. And drugs and violence. And ok they might not be that and so I am totally judging on clothes. Like I said originally, experiences shape our prejudices, and tv and music definitely shapes my view on this "type" of guy. If I came into contact with a guy like this and he was nice and friendly and I saw it's just a style and not a personality then of course I could overlook it. But it would be a case by case overlook. My overall opinion, dislike, fear or it would remain i think.

[overlord337645]

yes appearance is partially there but you also need to remember that each persons reality is only an illusion we each perceive the world diffrently and if we were to judge people on appearance alone then how would we associate with anyone we did not have a romantic intrest in?

[RavVid]

No. I judge on body language. If a person is angry THEN I start thinking they are a potential threat to my well being.

I was at major hospital emergency dept two nights ago. Usually the clientelle is drug fucked. There was a guy much like the pic but he was a great dinkie die guy.

[itsannalee]

I’m not gonna lying, i do judge people from the appearance.

[purplepoppy]

If you don't judge on appearance then you're guaranteed to be a victim.

[Pet68]

100% correct! If I came across anyone in the street who looked like the savage in your image, I'd cross over to the other side.

[NicholasRedone]

Especially if I'm not wanting to piss on anyone's parade I'm just trying to exist in a stress free life as possible :) my hermit life happily "I'm tom hanks and please let me be" Simpsons quote movie

[PeachyPie93]

I still walk by people I think look scary since what are they really gonna do? Probably nothing lol

[HawkPerception]

"probably" nothing is a dangerous way to think. If there's a 2% chance they'll do something, you should avoid it.

[PeachyPie93]

Most people leave me alone tho like once it was like 11 at night and I was cutting through a high school parking lot and close by there was a group of guys all smoking getting high or something on a picnic table and they started calling me to come over there and I just looked and kept walking, they didn't do anything. Tho even if someone did something I wouldn't really care.. The worst that can happen is they will rape or kill you.. and those just aren't that likely especially because I am not thin and pretty lol.

[goaded]

Depends if you count attitude as appearance. I'd treat a man approaching me menacingly the same if they're in a suit and tie or wearing leathers. Body language counts.

Too friendly counts, too! I'd look around.

[queenofcardio]

Someone's behavior can be threatening. It's not always just looks. Sometimes it's in the hidden details

[queenofcardio]

Someone's tone of voice can be threatening

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You don’t judge based on appearance. The amount of a threat someone is depends on the expression on their face more than their clothes

[StarWarGirl]

Yes, not based on looks but based on vibes I'm getting from them.

[Dreamclouds]

Thats healthy

[lightofdarkness]

Yes normal people (who dont judge others) dont afraid anyone.

[Dongie]

Nah, it's context that is missing. But I know you know this.

[dustybiker2]

True. I long ago learned to judge behavior.

[molonski2]

I judge on appearance - Yes.

[blackeagle007]

Anyone can be bad regardless of their looks

[MikeRJ]

Everyone judges others to an extent.

[Apple1996]

Or everyone looks like a threat lol

[Dargil]

How about a scorpion or Cobra?

[Staximus]

Not necessarily.
