Snap Judgments

caco_ethes

This might be a dangerous thread but let’s see how we do.

What kinds of judgments do you make about people based on only one or two things you have learned about them? What kinds of generalities do you feel are your reality (but may not be anyone else’s)?

For example, if I learn that a guy is a boob man, I immediately assume that he’s boring and has no imagination. That’s my snap judgment.

And an example of something that I believe to generally be true is that most men are more attracted to brunettes than blondes. I see a lot of men (especially here) talk about not liking blondes.

Remember, these are people’s individual perceptions so don’t get grumpy. And try to shy away from anything openly racist or offensive please.

I'm currently sitting in a beanbag chair snuggled under a blanket... I assume people who DON'T sit in beanbag chairs are boring.

I also assume that people who don't like dogs are jerks.

And if my dogs hate you, then you must be a horrible person.

Man.... I'm over here realizing I'm a lot meaner than I realized.

When people say they want to talk about something, then continue to talk without stopping or pausing for discussion, I think they A) Are more interested in convincing themselves they are right or know what they are talking about, Think they already know everything, C) Are justifying things.

I assume people who say they don’t make snap judgments are oblivious to how the brain works. Snap judgments are an adaptation that enable us to make quick decisions in situations where we don’t have the luxury of processing a lot of new information. Like when you’re in a parking lot at 11 pm and you’re parked next to someone in a van sporting a pornstache. Your brain doesn’t weigh all the available evidence, it just says get the hell outta there.

If a guy has very small hands, I assume he has a very small penis.

I assume men with a deeper voice have a lot of difficulty zipping their pants

Males that wear skinny jeans are more feminine than most women.

When people vague post their dirty laundry on mfp I assume they’re insecure and always a victim

If people post selfies and with an unmade bed in the background and trash all over the floor, I assume they're dirty slobs.
