First impressions

[jomifl]

When you meet a person for the first time, how influenced are you by add on personal characteristics such as hairstyle, personal adornments, piercing, tattoos and clothing and do you draw any conclusions about their character.

[Sqad]

Yes I am, yes I do.

[yogi-bear]

[China Doll]

Not influenced particularly, generally interested in tattoos and piercings actually.

That said, if you're a bloke wearing skinny jeans with an excessive amount of hair gel or a die hard metro-sexual male, it's probably best we have very little to do with each other.

catch me even talking to someone with a piercing or tattoos. Or a hairstyle. Or clothes, really. I am only interested in the purity of their souls.

[Robinia]

Well I'm not influenced by cherubic faces :)

[woofgang]

see now the assumption has been that the influence and conclusions drawn are negative....I wonder why?

[jno]

I on the other hand am terrifically turned on by knitted toys. And I wouldn't take too seriously the thoughts on commas from someone too uncouth to use question marks.

And starts sentences with 'and'

"The belief that 'and' should not be used to start a sentence is without foundation. And that's all there is to it."
