Judging a book by its cover?

[Neuromancer]

I know all humans judge on appearance just like every other animal. But do you consider intangibles as well or only stick with the surface most times?

I have a male co-worker I work out with, he benches like 225lbs but doesn't look like he does. I told a female co-worker we hit the gym and he was racking and she was like "He benches?" Incredulously. " He don't look like it."

Do you ever heavily assume a persons capacity based on their appearance?

Yes

 

[Neuromancer]

Yes

Has it served you well like an instinctual thing?

Has it served you well like an instinctual thing?

Yes and no. Sometimes I've been right and sometimes I've been wrong. Most of the time I've been right.

only in self preservation, i dont belittle my perceptions thats danger.

but im not stuck on one view and very open to changing my opinion, as looks can be decieving but lets not kid ourselves. our prejudgement is aligned with our perceptions, our internal IQ. we shouldnt belittle that.

Yeah

2 female coworkers I work with I did when I worked retail

the one (Assistant manager)who was dress all sexy, real talkative and look nice I assumed she was slut... she wasn’t...

the other one ( pharmacy tech)who was more quiet at work but also look nice, with a Cherokee d ass prime booty , I assumed she was a stuck up bytch and stingy with the ass. this broad was/is a hoe... found out from a old lady that this bytch fukked almost every new black Assistant manager who came through the place as well as a married police officer and moved a nikka into her place after only knowing him a month after meeting at a club

Yeah, this PAWG I met recently. She was cute but she also had a fetal alcohol / Down's syndrome look to her face, she's just the slightest bit cross-eyed, and her teeth grew in kinda weird. She's also really short.. I just assumed she was kinda slow based on how she looks.

Turns out she's a got damn genius and will have her PhD in psychology soon.

Hell no. I go beyond the surface of anyone I meet. One of the most influential and wealthiest people I know personally and my mentor look like the the average joe but dude is rich in knowledge and finances. Has a huge ass house in Windermere. He worked for the Military, graduated school and is apart of fraternal order.
