Why do people judge others by their looks?
361939
Because of evolution.  Ugly people are frequently people who have errors in their genetic code.  They usually lack symmetry.  In the desperate world of the caveman, those people who were born with congenital defects (were ugly) might not live long.  They posed a risk to the survival of the group.\n\nWe have evolved from a long line of survivors... we have been bred to hate ugliness as an instinctual response.  This doesn't mean that this instinct is still a beneficial thing.  Our culture has evolved  to where physical appearance doesn't need to be as important.

Some people are insecure and distrustful. People often think of their mates as property that only belongs to them. Just as many women accuse their men of cheating as well. Just think of it as one of the drawbacks of being good looking with a great personallity. If you were ugly then you would not be accused so much.

I'm sorry people judge you, \nI know I judge people sometimes and I'm struggling with judging people myself so I know how hard it is to jump to conclusions about people, but I think we judge quickly cuz we're born in a sinful world and we want to prove to ourselves how 'good' we are by looking down on others.

People judge by appearance (only some). But to me there are no ugly are pretty people. I think we are all beautiful. God wouldn't make an ugly person. A person is only ugly by their actions, not appearance.

I wouldn't judge anyone until I got to know them personally. We are all different and are all able to be liked or hated no matter what colour our skin is. pre-judging people is one of the main faults in our society, we should just take people for who they are and not worry about what others think of us.

When you get to be my age, you aren't intimidated by much of anything!  However, no, I was never intimidated by anyone's looks.  Looks are superficial and some of the prettiest people on the outside are the ugliest when you get to know them "inside".  I get to know a person for who they are, not for their wrappings.

some people do not go after looks.  I never did, it just all depends on how you feel about the way the person is treating you.  if you treat others with respect, chances are some of these people will respect you.

People look to others do define them, because they don't know what they are nor who they are ... what they also do not know is that the people to which they are looking for their definition of self are as equally clueless themselves.  They don't know what they are, but we look to them to find out about ourselves.  This is a predictament.\n\nNow lets say that others tell us that we are fine and nifty, handsome and attractive, smart and fetching.  This would seem to be great, but it is not.  When everybody loves you, you brim with confidence and put on a smile, but now you must maintain that good opinion through work, work, and work.  You live for others approval, and are always looking for a way to keep people impressed.  This chore is impossible.  So, to keep people from finding out what you are really like, somebody in this position is always inviting people near with one hand while pushing them away with the other hand.  They want you to like them, but they also want you to only know the appearance of them that they are constantly managing ... not the real person underneath the happy exterior.  They live in nearly constant lying and use anger and intimidation to scare people away who get too close.  Maintaining your image is all there is.\n\nThe other side of the coin are those that are not MAINTAINING but trying to change their image.  They don't like the messages that others have used to describe them.  When they looked for identity, others told them they were ugly and silly, dumb and slow, easy and cheap, everything that added up to worthlessness.  The only hope for these people is to do something or be something that people will have no choice but to appreciate them for a change.  This is work, work and work, because you are always trying to improve.  Lying comes in almost as easily as above.  \n\nBoth paths have one thing in common ... darkness. \n\nDarkness is living behind an image, that is not truly who you are, and vesting yourself in the image.  No light gets to the real you, because that is hidden behind the fantasy you that you  are projecting for others. \n\nDarkness is vexing. \n\nThe answer is Light .... to know yourself authentically and truly.  And to then project nothing but exactly what you know yourself to be.  \n\nI walk in the Light.  Jesus is that Light.  My life is hidden in Him, who loved me and gave Himslef up for me.  ... He knows me, more then I know myself.  He knows me because He created me.  He is obsessed with me.  nobody knows me like He knows me ... and the same is true for you.\n\nYou can be loved ... warts and all.  You can lay down the mask and quit hiding in darkness.  Trade all your failure and weakness for His victory and strength.  \n\nHe is only a prayer away.

looks is always a good thing but personlity stands out more because you don't want to be with someone who has a bad attitude or who does things you don't like or who doesn't share anything good or worthwhile in common with you.

Of course they are treated fairly, you fat fuck.\n\nBut seriously, people will always judge you by your appearance. It is human nature. Furthermore, it is human nature to categorize people based on their appearnaces. As a result, there is racism, assumptions are made, and everybody is hurt. Or they ignore it and move on with their lives.\n\nOf course you could get off your fat ass and try doing something about it ;-)

It isn't even that. To a large extent society determines what people find attractive. Not too long ago men went wild over a woman's legs, now it is breasts, soon it will be nostrils. In harder times overweight women were considered particularly attractive. Far too few people are willing to work to see the innate beauty of a person; they'd rather take the easy way out and only see what they think they should see.

The "pretty" people are not generally teased for their looks. The"ugly" people just have one more thing to get teased about. That isnt always true though... sometimes "pretty" people sometimes have very hard lives... look at cwelebrities. I prefer not to look at people as "pretty" or "ugly". If everyone did that, the people you call "ugly" would have much better lives.

Physical looks aren't always necessary in order to form an attraction.  Most people, however, do seem to prefer others that are kempt in appearance and have some modicum of personal hygeine.\n\nThat being said, people tend to like to be around others that make them feel good.  It could be someone that shows appreciation for them, makes them laugh or even helps them feel better about themselves in general.

I think under most circumstances people tend to date others at their own level of attractiveness. Sometimes you will see a great looking girl with an ugly guy or vice versa, but usually its a 1 to 1 thing.\n\nI'm not making any judgements about physical size and attractiveness. Just maybe see if you are setting your sights too high. By the way, I'm slightly overweight myself just so you don't think I'm being unfair here. Good luck!

It is how one perceives you. You may be good for someone and ugly for another one. I guess what is more important is to be beautiful mentally :-)
