What do you judge people on?

IvaBigWun

In the judging a book by its cover sense.

• Men AND women with too much jewelery are going to be obnoxious show offs.
  
• Since few of my female friends wear high heels habitually (and a lot don't wear them at all), I tend to think women who wear heels to work are a bit odd. Similar with makeup in the workplace.
  
• Any woman who likes teddies is immediately classed as a bunny boiler. I avoid them like the plague.
  
• Loud people.
  
• People who try too hard to be friendly
  
• People with ringtones other than the ones that came with the phone.
  
• The handshake is always a classic one. Recieving a limp cold fish handshake always makes me suspicious of a person.
  
• People who fake yawn from being nervous. Ive encountered several people with this problem and it annoys the tits off me. You can spot a fake yawn a mile off. And why a yawn? Why not nervous cough?
  
• Women who call their father 'Daddy' I get the horrible impression that it's what they shout during sex.

So what do you use as signposts to judge people on before you get to know them?

Its one of my pet hates that I cant stand people who judge shoes. WTF? As long as they match or close anough and are comfortable who gives a fcuk?!

I sometimes judge people who spell "wear" as "were"

Faith

I hate people with weak handshakes. It provides a very immediate and very negative impression of them.

Ruu_Old

People with a negative bank balance, tut tut, if you can't keep your finances in order..just..just get outta my sight! :eek:
"Ok, let me see your accounts for last 4 years please, oh and I'll have a coffee while your at it"

Oh and what Faith said, a good, strong handshake ftw.

Negative is the new positive. At least that's what they sound 'round these Limerick parts.

Also accents can have a big effect on me

I'll go with Faith on this one - I'm always suspect of someone with a 'limp' handshake. I'll always warm to someone who engages in a proper handshake. But I really hate that "barely touch your hand" sh1te.

I give a quite weak handshake myself - for some reason I am always worried about hurting people when I shake their hands!

Faith

You won't hurt them unless you use a death grip. Nice and firm, that's all there is to it.

I happen to be good frineds with someone who loves teddies, what am I getting myself in for? Explain

A weak handshake is seen psychologically as a sign of insincerity, so I'm with you there. I will admit to judging people on their clothes.no man over the age of 10 should wear tracksuit bottoms as trousers unless they're playing sports.

Dont! Just squeeze away - better than a limp introduction.....................

phantom_lord

I used to have a weak handskake, it used to piss me when I shook hands with someone else that had one too, it was just a real loose pointless connection of a fingers.

bone crushing handskakes piss me off too, why do they do it!

slipss

As far as people saying a weak handshake I have to agree, but I think thats just because people used to tell me never to trust someone with a weak handshake. But now that I'm not seven years old anymore I would distrust people that make a point of giving a really firm handshake more, exspecially if they have heard the don't trust someone with a weak handshake thing before, I mean what are you trying to hide? Are you really that insecure that you have to give someone a firm handshake because you think otherwise it gives a bad first impresion, are you really that pretentious?

Orange69

Man those crusher handshakes freak me out, wft do these people need to prove when they crush your hand like that.. Hand shakes should be replaced by that ankle grab thing from red dwarf.. anyone remember that?

Jerry seinfeld did a great bit on handshakes.. and close talkers..

And dont be dissin cork women wither

for a woman, well big boobs, fine ass and legs to hold them up.
for a man.... well im not that sort of bloke.

Archeron

When I see women doing that air kisses (MWAH, MWAH) thing on both sides of someone's face, I automatically think that they're a stuck up twat. Other than that, I always try to give the benefit of the doubt.

Unless they are a clown. In which case I presume evil is their middle name and that they torture kittens.

IvaBigWun

People boasting about past sexual exploits fairly shortly after you have first met them

please feck off.

IvaBigWun

oh and people who wear things on their head for no purpose, for example hats, bandanas, headbands etc. Whats that all about?

By the way, Im far from perfect: just my opinion

FlutterinBantam

I'm a fairly easy goin lad myself but since you asked I tend to form impressions on.

Bad grammar,y'know,the "done" and "seen" brigade.

People who cannoh (sic) pronounce "t" proper (sic)

"Bohhle a Cahlsbearg dere Bood in a huurry"


Any visible tattoos,especially on the forearms

Shave heads with jug ears and earrings and a crease on the back of the neck

Ditto with two creases.

Anyone who starts the conversation with "Ah Jaaaayss stauhrage Bood, wats the buzz man?"

People ,especially women,who always seem to be moving at a half trot.

People who never stop talking about where they are "just back from",where they are going to next and the price they "grabbed" it for.

What I call "League of Ireland Managerspeak"
Y'know ,cross between a union official and a polititian.

People who don't acknowledge manners.

People who stink of fags.


Other than that,I'm totally easygoing,as I said

Dyr

Postcount is the only true barometer of character



And as for fecking handshakes, theres some noob in our dept and when i shook hands with him he nearly dislocated me bleedin shoulder, enhusiasm is all good and well but there's I'd rather a handshake that doesnt border on epilepsy :mad:

That REALLY annoys me! Also the whole "th" thing! It's not that hard to pronounce it properly!

What does baldness imply? the lack of a soul?

"I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight."

ScumLord

I actually never judge people on first impressions, it's just not in my nature I've met loads of people that most would consider scumbags or weird but getting to know them I find there is allot more to them, even the actuall scumbags. I tend to have a claming influence on them then and they tend not to do scumy things around me because they know I will just walk away.

At the same time allot of the people who would look like normal up standing folks tend to have terrible personality traits in my opinion, like looking down on those that don't fit into their view of what a person should be.

But, what are those judging footwear looking for?

Appropriateness of shoe? Cleanliness? Type/Colour? Neat laces?

What??!!

And what sort of conclusions are they making?

ya ya, we all know what they say about empty vessels and all that.;)

Ok, this usually can change when I get to know them but here goes...

Clothing:

If they are dressed like skangers I assume they are unsocial idiots. If they are dressed goth I'll assume they're although probably sound are unsocial and a little bit odd. If they are dressed like jocks Ill assume they have **** all personality and are one dimensional.

Music:

A big one. If they are into cheesy dance I will dislike them. If they are into terrible emo rock, stadium rock or run of the mill bands that everyone seems to be into I will not be impressed. If they have a music taste along the same lines as mine I will automatically like them as this means we could enjoy each others company socially which is the main thing.

What they are like after a few drinks- If they can handle it and not act like idiots.

What they study in college.

Accents-Not really important but you can tell a pikey by his accent

bluto63

I go by music aswell, but still a lot of my friends are into sh*t music. I'm just better friends with those that like the same style as me

I instantly like someone with the same music taste as me, but it isn't the be all end all

imeatingchips

people who judge other people on stupid things like their shoes or their accent.

If there's some yoke mouthing "heeeeeeeeeeeyor yunwan" or whatever around the road then fair enough, they're probably a muppet but ... everyone has some kind of accent, no?

Yep doesnt matter, they could be hilarious but be into 50 cent or guns n roses

It all doesnt matter I suppose. Them main thing is if they are generally sound or funny.
