I do, partially. Actually, everyone does. It is also unlikely to go away (although what judgments are formed based on which appearance evolves all the time), because it is part of our biological programming.
The reason I say partially is that our minds constantly try to classify what we experience with our senses into patterns—that includes other people.
If you just see someone on the street, you don’t really have anything else. My “internal protrait”, if you will, of the person begins to be modified as soon as they speak.
There is not one of us a one of us who has not experienced the beautiful, upscale man or woman who was a total s**t or the sloppy, unprepossessing person who turned out to be a genius, a gem of an employee or the kindest person we ever met.
Then I have my own personal quirks and preferences. I find it hard to form a deep bond with anyone who has no sense of humor.
It took years for me to warm up to the wife of a good friend, because she absolutely has no sense of humor. Quips, witticisms, double entendres all have to be explained to her. Mind you, she is in no way dumb—she is very intelligent, an R.N., a community leader, very attractive. Since we interacted often—even vacationing together, because the friendship was so close, I came to appreciate her other qualities and like her very much now, but that has not changed my judgments about people with no sense of humor in general.
I find it almost impossible to respect someone that I know in a work setting, no matter how attractive or funny or charming, if they do not have a good work ethic.
Appearances mean nothing to me after any length of acquaintance
