Is it normal to not be able to judge people on physical appeal?

This type of thing is impossible for me to do. A lot of people would stay away from certain people because of how they look but even if that deterred everyone else I would never notice. I also categorize people as threat vs non-threat and I don't really make assessments about people. Many people judge based on looks and will say "well he has a nice ass" or "he she must be great in bed" but I don't usually do that.

    I don't do this either. Gushing solely on looks usually wont give a full picture as to who the person is. I usually make judgements based on personality, morals (if they have any, that is...), actions, and any vibes that I may receive from them. If they give off a negative vibe, I'll do my best to cease interaction with them.

    An exception to this would be if they participate in "Thug Culture". I don't want to have anything to do with that.

    I don't presume to know what personality somebody has based on their looks, either. I do think some fashion trends look absolutely ridiculous, but everyone has the right to look ridiculous if they want to.

    I think people are judged based on looks way too often. Many people have judged me based on the fact that I have tattoos, a lot of them, assuming that I'm an indecent person, among other things.

    When I was in highschool, the deputy principal tried to convince me and a friend I had back then, to remove our tongue rings. He knew we wouldn't do it just because it was 'against school rules' so he tried to appeal to our better nature, as if we were stupid. I clearly remember him saying 'one day you're going to be a mom, and you'll have to take it out then anyway'.

    I kept thinking, why do I have to remove a tongue piercing when I become a mother? Is it because he assumes it might be a bad example for my child? It was kind of sad to see how little people thought of people with piercings etc.

    I've seen people judge blondes by saying they must be easy, skanky, stupid or self centered. I've seen people judge many other types of people, and I've got to say, its absolutely stupid.

    I think its completely normal for you not to judge based on looks, infact, its a very good thing. Too many people judge others based on how they look and its unfair.

  • Regardless as to what most think, appearance can give away things about how people are. Ofcourse, this means you can judge someone that does not fit your judgement on occassion.

    Appearance can give away a lot of things about someone but it doesn't "always" do it with accuracy, so it's good to have a happy medium.
