 Yea you can totally tell i mean if
they are smiling they are happy to
be nice to you and if their
frowning they are like unhappy and
grumpy. |
 27 Aug 2007 11:12

|
Yes. I rarely find that someone is
not who I think they are at first
impression. Even when they pretend
to be someone or something else,
true nature is hard to hide. |
28 Aug 2007 06:09
|
|
For some reason i can!
I'm extremely observant... And
people's emotions amaze me. Since
i'm an open person... I can easily
tell from which is which. Bad or
good.
Interesting or normal. And so on |
09 Aug 2008 06:31
|
|
Yes , i can tell you whether you
are nice or not on the first date
and or just by the way you use
langauage .. |

I am an observer and always have
been. I have found at times that
I've been pretty right on about
people. You don't even have to meet
them, just watch their behavior and
how they treat the people around
them. But I have also been wrong.
Not that I looked badly on this
particular person, I was just
caught by surprise as I got to know
them. I think it's important to
listen to what your gut tells you
about a person though. We shouldn't
ignore that but we should test it
to a degree because we are
influenced by some past experiences
which may be clouding the present
situation. It's important to keep
an open mind but learn to trust
yourself in the final summation. |

The way someone walks'n'talks,
dresses up, interacts etc do
contribute a lot in person being
getting noticed up & making
impression about that person whom
we don't know. |

The first impression of a person
can be somewhat....crucial. The
first thought you get is usually
the truth. But, people can change
too. |

Yes when i meet someone new i am a
great judge of character so i think
i can. Some people may not be able
to but i can. |
07 May 2008 22:23
|
|
Yes, some people can, and I am
getting better at it. The first
impression has to last long enough
for some conversation to take
place, but, I believe it's possible |
30 Mar 2008 18:22
|
|
My wife can't, but I sure can.
That was the nature of my business
when I was employed. |
16 Feb 2008 02:47

I have usually been very accurate
on a person based on first
impressions. |
28 Jan 2008 23:18

I have yet to be wrong about my gut
feelings My daughters bring their
boyfriends for me to meet after
they leave they ask what I think
then they try to prove me wrong has
been done yet |
29 Dec 2007 07:12
|
|
Yes first impression is last
impression but sometimes it happens
that people pretend in first
meeting and they behave differently
later. But I personally feel that I
have an ability to guide a person
in first meeting and more than 90%
my judements have been proved
right. |
15 Nov 2007 11:07

|
Hey it s not possible .Many times
appearances are deceptive.All u cud
get to kno of a person when u talk
to him the first time is just his
basic character he poses outside |
20 Oct 2007 12:26
|
|
You can kind of get a feeling of
what they are like... Mean, soft
spoken, shy, outgoing.
But you can't sum them up on just 1
meeting.
You can get some idea though... |
17 Oct 2007 04:17
|
|
For the most part, if i had a
negative first impression of
someone and then i get to know them
an they seem nice, if i let a
little more time pass, it still
turns out that my first impression
was right! |
26 Sep 2007 05:55

I think it is wrong to judge
someone for any reason. Epically
when u dont know them from a hole
in the wall. YOu are just shutting
yourself out from a human power
that may teach you something.
Judging someone on first sight is
slightly racist. NOt that it has
anything to do with race, but
possible. More so you have probably
connected with something you have
had a hard time with in the past. I
do have my gut inuitions. I have
spoken with people on the bus who i
want nothing more to geaway from.
They are still gods children. I go
to AA and there is an admitted
pedifile I dont knwo him, but judge
i did. ITs still up to god to
judge. NOt I The bottom line is
were are only human and were bound
to be multi faced. I have been
judged so many times in my life. So
I try to listen to everyone and
give them a chance to help me grow
as an human, but im just human
so...... I f*** up quite regularly.
I love tu pac for saying "only god
can judge me." So Go ahead if you
wish. |
18 Sep 2007 11:09
|
|
My answer is NO, I disagree to what
other say that first impression
lasts? Well... For me you'll never
know a person 'til you dont get
along with him or her. |
02 Sep 2007 09:17
|
|
I agree you can feel a good person
deep in your heart |
02 Sep 2007 06:21
|
|
|
|
 You might get a sort of general
idea at first, but I don't think it
would be fair to judge someone on
that. Most people are
multi-faceted and over time and
with patience you may learn more
about who someone is. By remaining
open, you could nurture a
long-lasting friendship like the
one robbier44 described.
With all that said, I do have a
tendency to make snap decisions,
but this debate has inspired me to
try to keep a more open mind. |
30 Aug 2007 08:13
|
|
Definitely not. Some people pretend
to be something they're not, just
to impress. (That's sad.) Although
many of us would like to be able to
trust our first impressions, you
can't really tell for sure whether
or not a person is being sincere
when you first meet them. |
10 Sep 2007 13:33
|
|
Definitely not. I have met up with
characters in my lifetime who could
have charmed the birds out of the
trees and looked just as gentle,
and they turned out to be
positively psychotic. Ever heard of
babyface nelson etc. On the other
hand i have met up with people who
swear every other word and look
really tough. They turned out to be
the most gentle caring and generous
people you could meet. The diamonds
in the rough. |
02 Sep 2007 23:54
|
|
No! I have surprised many by my
thoughts and ideas even though they
thought they knew me! They had
ideas of who I was based on looks
or who I hung out with and they
were wrong! |
26 Aug 2007 19:35
|
|
I sure hope not lol I've met some
people in some pretty awkward
situations,and i made sure to i
made a better impression the next
time i saw them.we just laugh about
it today,when i talk to them. |
10 Sep 2008 21:54

Not all the times/specially if he
is a trained assassin |
29 Jul 2008 01:30

I believe you can get a good "jist"
of someone on a first impression,
but before you size someone up and
see how they really are you need to
be around them a few times in
different situations. |
26 May 2008 06:05
|
|
If to 'sum up' is to be able to
overall define a person on a first
impression then NO, there is always
more beneath looks, a few choice
words or gestures etc. It takes a
long time to be ale to 'sum'
another person up, one cannot
generally even accurately sum
themselves up. I am an extremely
good judge of character, as I have
an analytical and perceptive mind,
but I would never be narrow minded
enough to think I could sum someone
up based on a first impression. |
21 May 2008 23:24
|
|
I don't believe first impressions
are always a good way to accurately
sum up a person's character. Let's
face it, many people are very good
salespeople and have a good gift of
gab while others may be very shy
and don't speak much at all when
they first meet someone new. Or,
maybe the person has just had a
rough day at work or had an
argument with their mate. There
are too many variables that would
possibly give the totally wrong
first impression. I sometimes make
the wrong decision about someone
when first meeting them because of
some silly thing like maybe they
wear too much makeup or maybe they
don't interact well in a
conversation. We need to give
people the benefit of the doubt
sometimes. We also need to be
careful if the person we just met
is just so wonderful beyond
belief...what's wrong with this
picture! Lol |
07 May 2008 23:07
|
|
No, because first impression isn't
always right..my friends first
impressions to me is completely
wrong..! |
25 Apr 2008 08:01
|
|
No you can't sum up a person on
first impression. No one can judge
on physical appearance or first
meeting |
22 Apr 2008 10:24
|
|
That's not true at all, I myself
act a certain way in front of some
people and a different way in front
of others just to summon their
approval. |
12 Mar 2008 02:29
|
|
No, you can not judge someone based
on first impressions. When you
first meet someone, they
automatically put up a front,
whether they mean to or not. It is
sub-conscience. You can only really
know a person's true intentions
toward you in a time of crisis. You
can also know a person your whole
life and NEVER really know what
they think or how they really feel.
That is why you should never judge
a book by it's cover. Give people a
chance. They may be having a bad
day the first time you met them. |
13 Feb 2008 22:03
|
|
I don't think that your first
impression should sum up a person,
but they are important |
15 Jan 2008 00:59
|
|
There are only two types of people
who can be distinguished at first
meeting - sleezeballs and non
sleezeballs.
Other than that, there are too many
contributing factors in a
day/minute/whatever that could
cause misrepresentation of a
person. |
18 Nov 2007 07:24
|
|
For me personally, i look back at
when i started high school and when
i first met my now best friends,
and when i first met them i don't
think i liked any of them.
THankfully that changed! |
11 Oct 2007 00:07
|
|
NO...............
A person is the total sum of what
is going on in their life at
anygiven time, what they have been
in thepast.
I fi have just had a row wit my
hubby and I am upset and meet
someone new then my reactions and
conversation is gonna be different
from a time when me and hubby are
all loved up. SIMPLE |
08 Oct 2007 12:19
|
|
Yes you could because you can tell
by the persons reactions and stuff
it's an all around thing
!!!!!!!!!!! |
04 Sep 2007 01:09
|
|
I don't think you should judge
someone by how they look. |
02 Sep 2007 23:18
|
|
NO WAY!!
LOL
I mean
e.g:
Robbie williams if u didnt know him
and u look at hm you think hes
normal bcz he wears jeans but hes a
multi millionair! |
02 Sep 2007 19:11
|
|
Of course not, first impression is
just a short inconclusive
assumption. There is more deep
within a person's nature, looking
at him/her relying on impressions
won't give you enough proof to sum
up his whole character. |
02 Sep 2007 10:27
|
|
My answer is NO, I disagree to what
other say that first impression
lasts? Well... For me you'll never
know a person 'til you don't get
along with him or her. |
02 Sep 2007 10:01
|
|
Just be honest to her. |
31 Aug 2007 04:03
|
|
In some kind of way, I will say
Yes. But youre first impression
should never close or open the
door. Their are many people you
thought that at that first
impression you would not have
anything in common with, but that
has proven wrong and vise versa.
Give people whom you meet a
chance, they might just surprize
you. Also its not fair to judge a
person on the the first impression.
There are so many qualities to a
person get to know them, then its
up to you. You might just be
impressed, with some you thought
you would not get along with, and
the ones you hit it off with right
away just might fool you. Give
everyone an equal chance, thats if
you are open to the fact of meeting
people and getting to know people
of different races, religion,
backgrounds.
Their are too many people who do
judge on their first impression,
and you might have just missed a
very good friend or soul mate |
30 Aug 2007 17:19
|
|
I use to think that you can total
tell about someone the first time
you meet them. But what if that
person is having a bad day, or what
if that person can pretend to be
something they are not. Then you
think someone is great when they
are not or vice versa |
30 Aug 2007 02:20
|
|
Speaking from MANY past
experiences, you can't judge a book
by it's cover, that would be
unrealistic. People who don't want
to reveal their true selves often
put on an act to be liked. But, be
careful...people don't change for
the worse, they just get tired of
putting on an act and decide to
show their true colors once they
get comfortable enough. |
29 Aug 2007 03:07
|
|
Definitely not. I have been
surprised by people on many
occassions when they turned out to
be really good and decent against
my first impressions. Likewise i
have wrongly judged people to be
decent on first appearances and
they turned out to be quite nasty. |
28 Aug 2007 06:14
|
|
It is possible to get an accurate
idea, but it is not always correct.
Your "gut sense" when you first
meet someone is not always
accurate. |
27 Aug 2007 13:37
|
|
No it's not possible always. You
can't judge a person at first
instance. |
27 Aug 2007 13:18
|
|
No, I truley feel you need time to
get to know someone. |
27 Aug 2007 01:39
|
|
Many people may think so, but I
definitely do not. I shudder to
think how different my life would
be if I believed in first
impressions. I didn't like my best
friend the first time we met. We
ended up being friends for 24
years, and I travelled 500 miles to
be with her when she died. You
have to give people the same chance
you'd like to have. |
26 Aug 2007 03:12
|
|
No, I can't. I need some time to
know about one person... |
25 Aug 2007 18:06
|
|
I'm not exactly sure which side to
put this answer, for the most part
i say no you can't sum uup
accuratly a persons personality on
first sight. People behave
differently in different settings,
so befriend that somebody and see
if that person is truly how they
seem after a while. |
