Question:
Supposedly it does, and I figure it's true for the most part.
People look at you and will have a sense of what your personality is like.
And not just the wow he looks like a thug type of appearance.
Anyone agree with the quote?
Answer:
I think its true to some extent. i mean people usually project their likes and personality through appearance [ie clothes] but some people just don't care or just happen to be very different from the impression they give.
alot of people who look real mean are real nice. =\
Answer:
Not at all.
I'll use the many girls who LOOK like stuck up b_tch_s and are actually sweet and the girls that look sweet and approachable, but are actually stuck up b_tch_s as my example to back my opinion.
Answer:
yea...totally, it's human nature..i find it difficult to not judge a person but it def. should not stop u from talking to that person...it's just what people do and it's sad but like when u dont know a person but u see a person and like them, it's reaally first impression...misjudgments suck

Oh yes!!! I forgot to mention good old fashion looking girls who are actually crude and/or closet freaks.
...Not saying you are, just that you reminded me of that one as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sweatingbullets.gif)
Answer:
i totally agree, when you see pretty girls like hillary duff(all innocent and everything), they soon realize they aren't pretty enough for the media so they go get plastic surgery, but little do they know they resemble pornstars now.
may i add that i dislike girls who are so concieted and to concerned about their looks, i mean they look beautiful since they are women, women are naturally beautiful in some extent, some are not. It disapoints me when people try so hard to look beautiful then they end up looking like clowns (to much makeup) or start going anorexic, girls these days are influenced by media so much they want to change their figure, it's kinda sad but that just proves they are weak minded, then you realize they're not so beautiful at all.
weak minded girls = ugly girls ( applies to me)

But what about those that don't fall under that impression?
Bias can only cover so many people at once.
Although I've also realized that some people just don't seem to be able to get a feel of what someone's like just by appearance alone. Not saying it applies to everyone, but most of the girls I've seen reflected their personalities. Facial features, how they usually look, how they look like when they're angry, etc.
Answer:
My best friend that I'm currently.. best friends with lol, looked like a real haard chick b/c she had that black and red emo look thing going. But she's the nicest person that you will ever see. No seriously she's the nicest person.. :]

And exactly how does one asess personality due to facial features? Everyone will get angry or look contemplative from time to time when interacting with other people, and when they're on their own, a person will just reflect what they're currently thinking.
Bias aside, one would still be forced to go under a bias to determine that someone who looks generally angry is an angry person, or whatever the case.
..It just seems alot easier and more logical to find ones personality by what comes out of their mouth, rather than go on the whim that their physical aspects reflect it.
Answer:
yea.. but well appearances can be decieving

I'm not saying one should simply judge people based on looks (cause we all know what will come out of that), but it's just an interesting thing to look upon. One that is unusually outgoing, usually won't look like those that want to cut themselves everyday.
It's not that basic oh he's angry, cause his face shows it, it's the natural impression you give just by your very existence.
Why do people seem to get along with so-and-so better compared to another?
It can't be just random selection. We all choose to approach others based on something, while there are those that approach people based on their own personality.
Answer:
in many cases they do, but like always there are exceptions. but i guess based on the way some people dress, part of their personality shows. for others, they kind of mask their facial expressions or make some unconsciously and end up looking nastier than they are or some just look more innocent than they are. shrug.

Though, the only cases where it would work are the people with extreme personalities. One that wants to cut themself everyday doesn't necessarily look like an emo hot topic reject, and an emo hot topic reject may very well be the most optimistic life loving person around.
Unless its overly clear on the surface, you'd have no idea what a person is like by appearance alone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

no idea may be too extreme. based on appearance you'd probably pick up a slight idea of how they are even if it's not extremely clear. appearance and movement gives off some vibe, but maybe that's too shallow. and i agree with what tetra said about people approaching others based on appearance. people who carry around an angry glare or look aloof half the time usually don't get approached as much because it seems to portray an antisocialness, but i guess that's just how i see it.

If one were optimistic, why would they be emo in the first place?
Cutting oneself doesn't seem like something that comes from optimism.
Unless of course, one simply finds pleasure in cutting cause it serves the physical needs, a cause I'll never understand as of now.
Instinct itself is a shrouded topic, so who knows how it works. Certainly science nor religion has a very logical explanation for it, so I guess it's independent for the most part.
I think it's that instinct we all have that makes us decide to befriend these people over those, cause even the most open-minded people still has preferences.
Answer:
well apparently emos are cool. or is that scene? people who are referred to as emo are supposedly scenesters or something? and cutting draws a bunch of attention to attention whores.
Answer:
*Corrects self* I meant emo looking, not emo.
Though agreed on not being able to understand those who find cutting to be a physical release. I've known a decent amount, and nothing that comes out of their mouth on the topic makes any kind of logical sense to me.
Approaching people based on appearance isn't exactly a safe bet either, as though it may be effective, many people dress and do their facial appearance a certain way JUST to be approached and approach certain kinds of people. That's just putting ones foot in the door of having at least one common interest, not really saying anything about their personality.
...I think the lone part of this I could wholeheartedly agree on would be those that come off constantly as angry. That's a rather hard act to keep up if one isn't truly mentally angry.
Answer:
^ yeah but some people have facial structures that just appear harder than others therefore giving off some kind of hostile look? i do agree with you about how people dress to be approached and facial appearances aren't certain because i know a number of girls i thought were nice and innocent but i kind of ran when i saw them beeetching at other girls. i still think it's too extreme to say that appearances don't give off much about personality. maybe it's not as much appearance as impression.
Answer:
My appearance is completely not what people think of me. I dress proper, yet people will think I'm a thug. I speak proper, yet people still think I'm a thug!
Like seraphic.shot said, I suppose it's just my facial structure that throws everything off.
