Why do they say that you should not judge people by the way they look?

I met a couple of men, they have absolutely mean, evil faces. I went by "do not judge by looks", and they appeared to be just the way they looked - mean and vile. Now I wonder why we should not judge by looks. I mean, if a person goes around being vile to others, his/her face expresses it, and it becomes a familiar expression. After all, people get wrinkles on the places they used most. So, if they smiled a lot, they will have smiley wrinkles around their eyes. If they abused others, they made mean faces, and have mean wrinkles and expressions.

unless they smile as they are being cruel..then your theory is shot to heck
Reply:because the outside cannot fully describe what's on the inside..i mean you can't possibly say that you fully know a person just by looking at him/her..
Reply:A good book can have a less than desirable cover. Once you start reading the book you are pleasantly surprised!
Reply:because judging "a book by its cover" does not get you far. you can't tell, you can guess, but you can never tell a person's character until you see their actions and/or get to know them.
Reply:This is a really good question. Why do they say, don't judge a book by it's cover, because you simply can't say what something is like on the inside just by looking at it's cover, or face in your circumstance. I think you have to give everyone a chance, usually you can tell if you like someone just by talking to them though. Maybe you were just unlucky to run into 2 bad eggs.
Reply:They say you shouldnt judge people by the way they look, but its so hard because on a first appearance what do you see? The way the people look. I dont necessarily agree with your rational about wrinkles although it sounds like it could happen. But, I think you need to try to get to the personality before you judge the look. People judge your face and your clothing before they even give you a chance.

I know a girl who was always quite shallow, she wouldn't look at guys unless they looked really handsome, but she kept getting messed about by these guys, they treat her not good, they weren't great personality wise.


She ended up with this guy who is not great looking by any means but is such a nice person and she is the happiest she ever been.


Its how a person makes you feel that makes you really like someone, although a lot of people are more bothered about how they look rather than how nice a person they are. We all like different things and I think people find their right match - i.e. shallow people will meet shallow people, people who like good personality will meet others with good personality, etc.





For yourself, if a guy looks mean and has an evil face, go with your gut instinct that maybe this isn't the guy you are going to really like, you will realise it when you meet a guy that you genuinely like!
