How much do you judge a book by its cover?

Re: How much do you judge a book by its cover?

How would you know the person is great, Ufsana? You would have to talk to them and know them to a certain extent, right? So if you are talking to them, doesn’t that suggest you are giving them a chance to prove to you that they are great and you should overlook superficial factors?

I don’t really have a scale, per se, but certain things are a major turnoff for me. Most proposals I consider, I see their pic first and only talk to them if I can see myself being attracted to the person. If there is zero attraction to begin with, why waste everyone’s time by talking first and then rejecting them anyway?

I’m fairly tall, so “minor appearance” issue for me would be a guy who was roughly the same height as me.
Major turnoff for me would be a single guy in his late 20’s or early 30’s who has a pot belly.
I would give the former a chance but not wasting my time on the latter.
