Eh, it happens all the time. People do it subconsciously constantly. It's not something you can change, it's human nature. It sucks but it happens, all you can do is ignore your judgments and proceed as normal.
Ohhhh, you're one of *those* people..

I think its weird that you and your class mates dont seem to have anything better to do than talk about how weird other kids are.
there was a time gamers where thought of as "weird kids". I miss those times.
In short, your classmates need to focus less on others, and more on themselves.

I find it lame that the OP has sort of admitted he was wrong about 100 times and people are still flaming him for it. Yeesh what else is he meant to do?!
On topic, it's pretty ridiculous to think you don't judge people on appearances. The difference lies in how you act towards them. Basically, be nice to people. It'd be rather unpleasant if some weird looking bloke with a mohawk thought of you "oh he looks alright. Shame when I talked to him he turned out to be a prick." That's much worse.

I did the latter, but I wasn't "lucky", just smart enough to know people and actually talk to like-minded people, luck has nothing to do with it, if you're fed up with others taking the piss then you do something about it, it's called affirmative action, not sure what this "luck" is you're on about, I don't get "lucky" I make things happen.DuplicateValue said:
You see, I think I would end up screwing with you. I'm in college so there is a vast amount of time between all of my classes. So I go to one dressed up as some stereotype and then the next dressed up as something different(Think of changing from goth to chav in under 3 hours).Disaster Button said:
It's always great to see the different responses you get from this.
(I tried it two different ways, acting like the character I'm dressed up as in class and not doing anything to make me stick out other than my clothing. I'm sad to say I ended up with generally the same comments from both tests for each individual stereotype)

No I'm not going to private message you about this, I don't know you and I'm not talking about you. I'm not judging anyone by just looking at them, what I'm doing is analyzing the people I know something about, and most of them show evidence of these qualities. I don't see what's wrong with expressing my feelings of dislike for the human race when you put forward a perfect example and ask my opinion of it. You want a more straight forward answer?, okay, I don't think it's alright to whisper assumptions behind a persons back, it's disrespectful, it's immature and it's arrogant. I think I'll end this with a couple of quotes,
"don't criticize what you can't understand" - Bob Dylan
"you're shit, I'm shit, the world is shit, and if your sitting there thinking "yes it's true everyone is shit but me" you are a double bacon shit with large fries mister shit face" - Ben Croshaw aka Yahtzee
I'm a very judgemental person myself... except against "Normies" people who would rather shun anything or anyone different than the norm than accept a bit of extra flavour into their life. people who assume if you wear a different sorta hat than everyone else that you're a weirdo...
I find them intolerably boring and unbelievably irritating for the most part. the only thing that makes me not hate them entirely with every bit of the core of my essence is that they leave me the hell alone and don't crowd me on the bus
there's a benefit to not fitting in. people don't wanna be near you, so you get extra leg room.

Eh... It's fairly reasonable to judge people based on the choices they make. I'm not going to judge someone for physical appearances beyond their control, but there's so much that's fully within our control. If you spend most of your time alone, avoid others, and seem to enjoy solitude, you'll be treated accordingly. If you're a slut, you're treated like a slut (as the polar opposite).
We can argue until we all lose interest about whether those judgements are always accurate, but in most cases they are. People act in ways according to who they are (unless they're really good actors). Or, at least, people act in ways according to how they'd like to be treated. If you want to be seen as affable, sociable, and "normal, you need to act those ways. People who act like jerks usually are jerks. People who act like freaks usually are freaks. Especially the people who extol the virtues of their "bad" qualities tend to exemplify them. Those who say "yeah, I'm a jackass" with anything except real self-loathing, or says "I'm a freak, so what?" are almost guaranteed to be the epitome of those features

Oh that's embarassing. I tohught you were talking about me. Nevermind then, we'll jsut pretend that didn't happen eh?sumanoskae said:

People with similar genetics act similarly. People subconciously try to link appearances from past encounters to current ones to create a first impression. So you may not be like "that guy looks like my old grade 3 bully" but you would be like "that guy looks like an asshole".
In other words, we take what we've seen in the past and apply it to the future. You touch fire, you learn fire hurts and everything that looks like fire will be treated the same. Its the same concept but looser, barley tested, and to people.
if you say you dont judge people on first sight then you are a damn liar. Everyone does and its unfortunate but almost always correct.
you guys are probably just pissed off cause he described you perfectly

Seriously, your school sounds terrible
I am one of those people, and I am glad of it.
In society, I believe there is a huge net of mass conformity, anyone who does not conform, is treated as an un-desirable by anyone who is part of this conformity. Girls must dye their hair blonde, have no brains, and be rude and obnoxious. Men must be strong, tough, rude, and make remarks concerning another person?s mother.
I reject this way of life, instead I embrace something different, I choose what the masses regard as impossible, I embrace:
Individualism

everyone is fine until proven to be a total (insert offensive word here) and then given a second chance and do not change- in that case then I hate them forever
give a reasoned judgement- people can't help how the are- like that guy you prejudised
and you can't help being prejudiced- everyone is different, it doesn't make you a bad person- as long as you keep it to yourself- also just try to give people a chance- if society keeps people outside of everything then they can become solated and start to hate society
sum up
dont prejudise as much
give everyone a chance- if they blow it then keep away from them

I think everyone judges people when they first see them, its like involuntary.
You should give them a chance though. Dont ever belive your 1st impressions, even though they are usually right.
Im glad you gave him a second chance Disaster Button
