Because I'm mildly shallow, their attractiveness. Then how they present themselves through words or other things. Behavioral quirks, methods of communication...etc.
Then I try to psychoanalyze them. XP
their eyes, eyes say alot. then their smile, and if it's sincere. from those two things you can tell someones confidence level in themself and themself in public settings or how comfterble they are to speak to someone they dont know. i personally have a thing for smiles and teeth, guys with smiles, mouths, teeth or w.e that dont quite look like everyone elses, it's a weakness. that's what i notice first, along with their personality. after that if i think they're cute as long as their personality holds up and meshes with mine then we'll be fine. :)
i'm pretty sure it's the way they look. no matter how well a woman treats others, or how much confidence she has, or how good her personality is, you can't really tell that from first impressions. if she's ugly/fat, personality and confidence won't matter to most men
@BranmacFeabhail@xanga - Ughhh, one of my guy friends has the dirtiest nails ever! he doesnt do anything about it even though people tell him =(
First impressions mean a lot to me. I pretty much analyze you based on your appearance, your words, gestures, body language.. and if you make sense. If you're just talking without a point, I probably wont have too much interest in you.
After eyes, hair and smile, in no particular order, I think friendliness is an important factor in determining whether or not you would like to befriend them. Confidence is a plus. And humor will win me over, period.
I always look at a guys hands...that's so odd I know but it's true.
it's got to be a combination of all of the above :)
definitely personality is a big plus for me... along with how they treat others.
someone's personality and appearance will usually change depending on the social setting, so judging someone on one meeting is usually not enough to really know who they are. of course making a good first impression always helps me decide if i wanna try to get to know someone better, so i try to make a good one as well.
@MangoWOW@xanga - It's sad that you think that, because you really are missing out on getting to know a lot of amazing people.
I'm a shy person. It's not like I planned it out that way. I try to
break out more, but some people are more outgoing than others. You seem
to be fairly outgoing and have trouble putting yourself in the more
introverted half of society's shoes, so you should understand how it's
hard for a quiet person to branch out.
I'm not very talkative when I first meet people, but when the timing's
right and everything's relaxed, I feel more open and I can share my
opinions on various topics, I don't usually get a sheer look of disgust
from the person to whom I'm speaking.
P.S. Maybe you should look back over your comments and realize how much you contradicted yourself. To be honest, I'm not even sure if you agree or disagree with me anymore.
I think the very first thing I notice physically is height, then comes the teeth. I cant stand someone with bad teeth :( Once we start to converse, I notice eye contact and body language and I really listen to what theyre saying..so generally, I notice everything! haha But I guess this would be the sequential order.. all in a matter of seconds!
- The way they dress
- Manners
- Humour and personality
General appearance and how they carry themselves.
First thing I notice is whether they look me in the eye. Then I notice their personality.
The way they look, unless their hygiene is off, doesn't even cross my mind like... ever. x.x
@xDark_horizonx@xanga - Me too.
Their vibe.
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - yeah, pretty much.
Body, Personality, Confidence, and then How they treat others. It's true. When you see someone for the FIRST time, you see their outside, not their inside. Then the outside leads to what's inside of them that lets you decide whether he/she is worth your time. Anybody who says they don't take a double look at a cute guy/girl when they see 'em for the fist time is just lying.
they way someone dresses says alot about them already
and then i look at how they act around other people
appearance: height, i'm 5'11" so anyone smaller is usually a no, eyes are a big factor too and of course, SMILE! :)
personality: gotta have a great sense of humor!
oh ya and DRESS, no one wants to date a bum, dress nicely for god's sake, it's really not as hard as some seem to think it is
i look at the face. determine if its ugly/bitchy/horrifyinglyweird/pretty/beautiful/normal
then i look at their body fat/hot/anorexic/hugelyobese
then i look at their clothes -pukes-/okay/YES/HELLNO/pretty/skanky
then i look at the hair meh/NO/YES/-pukes
HAHAHA. ;)
looks, confidence, modesty, package!
Personality. How they present themselves in public (The way they dress/act to others). If they can make me laugh right on the spot, perfect. ;D
MangoWOW - You're an idiot. I feel sorry for the people who meet you. Your comments just show how immature, narcissistic and self-involved people like you are. Kaythan comments actually made sense. Quite frankly your points made no sense at all. Rather they were unclear and just plain childish. Your response to Kaythan where you say - "Also, did you ignore the part where I said I hate taking the time to break them out of their shell, which would normally imply that I do take the chance to get to know these people?" But thats not what you said. Then you go on with " These questions aren't meant to be mean or rude but I honestly get annoyed when people take a generalization (which is useful in simplifying what would normally be a long winded sentence) and act as if we honestly lump everyone into one category." Talk about babbling and long winded sentences. Its obvious you cant articulate your thoughts well enough so people dont misunderstand you.
What you imply and what you actually say are two totally different things. Its ashame that you cant take responsibility for what you say, all you wanna do is keep on arguing with someone just cuz they exposed you for the idiot that you are and because they have obviously put you in your place.
@noselfdestruct@xanga - Well I never said I didn't get to know them. In fact if you look at a conversation I was having with another girl I mention that I make sure I get to know everyone.
I used to be very introverted. If anything I'm still very shy when I meet people. it's just too awkward for me. I barely have any friends as it is and its because I was so shy and quiet. I can very easily put myself in an introverts shoes, that's why I try to take the time to know them.
Also, can you please show how I contradicted myself? You arent the first person thats told me that and I re-read my comments and I just don't see it. Maybe it's because I'm not articulate? Maybe I didn't get my point across the right way.
