i may have a double standard there - i do tend to think of handsome men as shallow (the old used car salesman thing) before i get to know them, but i'm not like that with women. i know plenty of very attractive women who are thoughtful and intelligent. shrug



Why do you think you do it with men and not women I.B?

Sometimes I associate arrogance with very good looking men, I know I shouldn't but...erm...I'm shallow like that lol


that's a very good question, and i'm not sure that i have a good answer. could be that i know more attractive women than i do attractive men. or it could have been a defense mechanism from back in my dating days... shrug

Subconsciously or not, everybody assumes things about others based on their appearance. It would be hypocritical to claim otherwise. When it comes to very beautiful people, I usually assume one or more of the following things:

* they're arrogant (since people treat them like they're all that so often that they start believing it)

* they have a slightly underdeveloped personality (since they don't have to learn social skills to the same extent as others in order to survive)

* they don't understand real hardship in life (since their beauty usually helps them avoid it)

* they are vain (since they've realized how much they depend on their beauty and how important it therefore is to maintain it)

I'm happy and ready to be proven wrong once I get to know them though. shrug

I think beautiful people tend to have it easy but I don't necessarily assume they're shallow. I think I tend to judge people more on "warmth" than beauty. If someone is friendly towards me and shows a degree of warmth and compassion I'm more likely to respond to them than if they look good.

I'm never attracted to "beautiful" men. I don't particuarly think they're shallow but I just don't go for looks above personaliy.

When you see an attractive person do you assume they must be stupid/shallow/superficial?

I'm just curious if you attribute negative or positive personality traits to them before you speak to them, we've all done it...judge people by their appearance.

[Edited 1/7/06 9:04am]



because society is shallow, we regard beautiful people more fondly than we do ugly people. i think that people who are physically beautiful have a special status in our world. and therefore beautiful people are not always required to work quite as hard at being 'good people'.

mind you, this is a generalization. good and bad traits can be found in each and every person alive...
