I will fall on the sword X. Its fucking retarded to make a comment that you have to ability to judge someone within minutes of meeting them. I will give her a pass and I think we all did by trying to have an intelligent discussion.
But again you are right females are the most judgemental species on the planet earth. They are worse with each other, you work with females, I work with females. My whole adult life has been in the medical field working with females. I am sure in the OP she was discussing other females she works with. [/quote]
Wait, so you can say that within seconds of meeting someone and finding out they are feamle you know they are judgemental but the OP says she makes judgements within minutes of meeting someone and that’s retarded?
Not much that is intelligent about that.[/quote]
I can make snap judgments on a person’s strengths and weaknesses, like you for instance on meeting you on the internet in the form of me seeing your avatars. I can thus conclude that your strength is a tremendous ass and your weakness is you have no head.

Nice try. I don’t work at the moment. I just attend school. To give you an example of what I meant by a judgment call, let’s take a professor I despised so much I stopped going to his class (he would make fun of students for asking questions, dodge the questions, not come to class prepared with even a calculator (it was physics and he would waste time doing shit by hand), and generally just gave off the impression he considered the class a joke). Now, I did meet with this guy outside of class twice and would say he was charismatic, charming, trying hard to be a good father (which he was probably more concerned about than the class), took pride in being laid back and enjoying a good time, and has gotten by in life by being intelligent and fun. He was also careless and tried to joke everything off when caught in an uncomfortable spot.
Everyone else in the class said terrible things about him and I overheard people discussing how “awkward” it was to run into him outside of class. I didn’t find that was the case when I just tried smiling and waving. I did hate his class, though, regardless of the grade I received. He was just not invested in teaching that material.[/quote]
I wasnt trying I was bored. I was also just poking Deb because I know she is intelligent and hates sexist remarks. I am undecided on you still, probably because you are still a kid. I’m out. [/quote]
lol. That just wasn’t an answer you knew what to do with, huh?
[/quote]
Nope working this week, maybe next week I will be bored again. [/quote]
BTW, what is “not a kid status”? I’ve heard for men it’s supposed to be 30.[/quote]
Basically when you are my own childrens age, SO technically I am still a kid to my parents age group. Dont feel bad, when I was your age I thought I was the smartest person in the room all the time, when you get older things change.
And yes you are only a couple years older than my children and I am a grandfather.

hahahahahahaha like I said before people are more complex. However the OP said she was able to know within minutes ALL there good and bad points. I only am able to make one assessment. So yes that is intelligent. [/quote]
I do believe we can all agree that there are GENERALITIES that most women portray and men.
Most guys do not put much EMOTIONAL attachment on sex itself. I don’t think I need to meet most men on the planet to come to that conclusion.[/quote]
Then you are doing exactly what the OP is doing. Is it the same for race?[/quote]
Yes.
Did you expect me to say no?
I can bet that most black guys listen to Hip Hop music at least to some degree and while not all play basketball, probably have at least some history in that arena even if it is as simple as not playing well.
Now, if you take that and start choosing all negative characteristics based on race as if skin color causes someone to do negative activities, then you would be flat out wrong.
I bet most white guys liked Seinfeld.
[/quote]
Holy shit I do like Seinfeld! I’m going to bet that you like gigantic black asses?
…females ones…that aren’t really super gigantic and bounce not flop and sag…you know anything really in heavythrower’s avatars. Granted some of those might be white and or Hispanic…possibly Asian…fuck they could be martian for all I care. Big green asses FTW!!!
WTF are we talking about here again?

You know, I’ve never thought I was the smartest person in the room. I think people simply assume that about me (that I think that) because I don’t think I’m dumb and I also consider my points worthy of discussion. Doesn’t mean I’m always right, though, and it also doesn’t mean I’m a genius. If anything, it simply indicates I’m not retarded.

I’m not sure what the point of that was, considering I just said I’m not always right. I’ve had plenty of people on here and in real life show me the errors of my way and readily admit it.
If anything, I appreciate someone proving me wrong and making a solid counter-argument. It sounds like you’re assuming here?

What do you need “done” to your answer? I already addressed it in my first post in this thread.
Quite a few people on this forum, I’m sure, interact with many, many people over the course of their day. Some of us see a couple dozen strangers on a daily basis.
Due to the sheer number of people some of us meet and the various circumstances surrounding our interactions, it is impossible for any one of us to consistently be able to see the various dimensions of an individual’s personality in their entirety.
Because of this, we tend to base our impressions of these people on the periphery of our existence on the way they interact with us. We draw our conclusions about our feelings on that particular individual based on the way they choose to present themselves to us over the course of our personal interactions. This is in part due to necessity (as it is the easiest and most convenient way to gather information of personal relevance on someone) but it is also human nature (we are typically an ego-centric species that, on the whole and, of course, with exceptions, cares more about how things affect US than how they affect others).
Your classmates considered your Professor to be an awkward, shitty man because he was an awkward, shitty teacher. That isn’t unreasonable given that that was the particular role he played in their lives. He chose to present himself to his students as an douchey, derisive teacher and, given that that was mostly the only interaction his students had with him, that colored their perception of him in the only way that truly mattered to them.
While I’m sure your fellow classmates didn’t think he was truly a genuine scum bag, they still considered him an asshole because that was the way he chose to present himself insofar as THEIR existence with him was concerned. Who knows, maybe they would’ve learned to like him had they gotten to know him in a broader sense (and I would bet many would have at least acknowledged that possibility if they were willing to set aside their bias and be honest)… but then, maybe they weren’t looking for a chummy faculty member, just someone to teach them fucking physics.
Do you think it is reasonable to expect everyone to learn every facet of every other individuals life before deciding what their worth is to them? As a student, I personally wouldn’t give much of a shit if your professor donated half his salary to orphans… orphans with diseases… because I would be paying a substantial amount of money to learn physics and not hang out with a textbook ‘tough guy with a heart of gold’.
As an outsider looking in, I don’t consider him to be an all that bad of a guy. But then, I have no investments whatsoever in whatever way he chooses to interact with the various dimensions of his existence (teacher, father, mentor, whatever). But I understand completely the reasons why your classmates chose to consider him worthless.
To be honest, I’m not sure what the hell this thread is actually about though, I’m guessing the only reason it’s lasted as long as it has with the level of discussion present is because of Professor X’s initial misreading of your post (taking it in a different direction) and the clearly ambiguous way you chose to present your particular situation to the rest of us (people are still addressing various side topics that I’m not sure you were considering when writing the OP).
My initial response summed up the basis for judging people as “good” or “bad” based on all the shades of gray available to the individual doing the judging (hastily written though it was, so I reserve the right to clarify). While I think this is what you were wanting to discuss, I’m not sure how complicated you thought it might be.
I think it is really cool that we have women here who will discuss openly with us their views, opinion, and how insane they are. I would like to see more women who can hold a debate or discussion like this…and let us know how crazy they are. T-Nation is great like that. I get to be a crazy fucking weight lifter and have discussions with crazy fucking women about how crazy they all are in public.

So basically what you’re saying is that it’s okay, maybe even preferable, to choose not to see a person’s strengths and weaknesses beyond the context that you interract with them in?

No. I do not support turning a blind eye to a person’s strengths and weaknesses if the are irrelevant to my interactions with them; however, it isn’t ridiculous to believe that, for the most part, the characteristics that that person actually exhibits while in my presence (or within the boundaries of my existence) will be the ones that most strongly determine my estimation of their worth.
From an earlier example, your coworker may be a hilarious guy and great husband yet be a subpar employee… so when your boss starts bitching about what a piece of crap he is then clearly his shoddy work ethic is the dominating characteristic he is concerned with - because that is what is most important within the context of their relationship. If they also happen to be buddies, then clearly the boss may very well cut him some slack because their relationship extends beyond the professional environment and, as such, there is more good to weigh against the bad.
As it stands, your boss may very well admit that the employee isn’t a worthless guy - and perhaps has a few admirable traits about him - he still can’t be expected to really give a shit if none of those qualities lead to the employee being better at his job.
I also don’t feel it is ridiculous to oftentimes feel little or no inclination to make efforts to delve deeper into the personality of people regarding areas that have no influence over my interaction with them. Why would I? Just to KNOW there is something “good” or “bad” about that person? I already fully believe very few people are completely on either end of the spectrum (same with most sane adults, I’d think), but, again, I meet quite a few people on a daily basis so it would be a waste of time hunting for extraneous information about them when it will ultimately have no bearing on the way they behave with me or with the things I take away from my interactions with them. It would be just too damn time-consuming and exhausting.
I would not be entirely surprised if many people here thought I was a crude, obnoxious ass. Many of my posts come across that way. I also wouldn’t blame them for not wanting to get to know who I am IRL because a) the way I post may discourage such efforts and b) it ultimately would have no effect on what I choose to say or how I say it. But then, I’m not going to act surprised when no one floods my PM box with secksy pixxx because I understand that HOW I present myself to people will affect the way they view me. If I do not come off as approachable, I understand people will make do with what they can gather from a distance.
That’s why I don’t feel as though the response of the students to their physics professor is really anything special to make note of.

Guys develop these skills later, so they don’t place nearly as much importance on it–which means they don’t assume they can read people instantly.

I really agree with this. Most women I know place WAY too much emphasis on body language and appearance in terms of DRESS…which they often read WRONG. If I’m busy and my mind is on other things, it doesn’t mean I am stuck up if I don’t immediately flirt with you.
Most women don’t guess much right about me at all based on first seeing me. They assume tons of shit that is almost always not true. I’m not a player…yet most assume I am…and then assume tons of shit on top of that based on how I act which is all based on the first wrong assumption.
I also know that the response I get has changed drastically just because of my car…and my personality did not change in the last 2 months.[/quote]
This from one of the most judgmental and emotionally reactive people on earth.
You don’t think your opinion of me would shift depending upon the kind of car you see me get into? Bullshit.
I hope like hell those of you talking about “all women” doing or thinking or acting or judging as if they’re cut from a single Woman Cloth are joking. Because the alternative is that you’re a bunch of absolute idiots.

I think it is really cool that we have women here who will discuss openly with us their views, opinion, and how insane they are. I would like to see more women who can hold a debate or discussion like this…and let us know how crazy they are. T-Nation is great like that. I get to be a crazy fucking weight lifter and have discussions with crazy fucking women about how crazy they all are in public.

Whoa there. Way to flip a switch. If you don’t want to discuss or interact, there are literally thousands of other threads to go have fun on.[/quote]
Yeah, I was joking.[/quote]
I thought you were flirting with us
