Appearances are deceptive

1. Appearances are deceptive. Do you agree?

2. Appearances mean nothing. Experience means everything.

3. A lot of experience can spoil your appearance. A person that has little experience often looks better. Don't judge a book by its cover.

4. Outward show is always misleading. On the contrary, internal reality is very seldom different from external looks. It is possible to say so much about a person by his or her body language and behaviour. I tend to agree, though, that you never have a second chance to make the first impression, but there is more to appearance than the first impression. What do you think?

5. Appearances are deceptive? I think that a good appearance is an image of soul. Example: angels!

6. What about "a wolf in sheep's clothing"? Have you ever seen or met any of the kind?

7. I could always tell good people from bad by their looks. Can you?

8. Can you easily look through a person and guess what his intentions are like: positive or negative? All the people pretend to be better at the beginning, just to make a favourable impression.

9. When you look in the mirror, do you see a good person? How about Dorian Grey?

10. I am asking about strangers you encounter in public places and at work. It seems to me that there is always something about a person's posture and the way he or she looks, that reflects his or her personality, values and attitude. Of course, clothes can help create a completely different person and naked people have little or no influence in modern society, but there is more to appearance than clothing and accessories.

11. I tested it in real life many times and I was always(!!!) right: the impression a person made on me at first sight was always proved to be true. I can't say whether it is my intuition or something else, but I don't care about it really. I'm just glad possessing such an exceptional ability, I'd say, because for me appearances are nearly never deceptive.

12. I think that every meaningful life experience creates something on person's face,

something, that is possible to read, if you want.

For example: some people look younger than they really are, but there is a hint of experience in their eyes.

13. The question is a controversial one. From one viewpoint, appearance does mean something in life, and most people tend to evaluate a person by looking at him/her "externally". However, there is more than just to be pretty. A beautiful person is a complex of internal qualities that make reflection on his/her looks. For instance, a person might be very pretty (I mean looks pretty), but later in life his/her qualities and way of life will reflect on the looks and make them better/worse. Or a person may be not so beautiful in terms of looks but very nice inside. And that inner life reflects positively on looks.

As they say, a 20 year old woman has a face that she was given by nature, at 30 she has a face that she "made", and at 40 she has a face that she deserves.

That's true for everyone.

14. Shrek:” They judge me before even know me”.

15. Real beauty comes from within. (Beauty and the Beast)

16. Beauty is only skin deep. Ugliness goes to the bone...

17. You do what you are inside…

you speak what you are inside…

you eat/drink what you want to...

you sing the songs that appeal to you…

you look at things you like…

and frown at things you despise…

you wear what you feel comfortable in…

hence you are what you portray.( portray – how you appear to the world)

18. There is some truth in it. Many people don’t want to keep a Vale on themselves. If you are keen, you can see most in them. But there are some people who plan to deceive others. Some criminals can easily fool a hardened cop, because they look so innocent and act to support their look. So you cannot put a blanket on the whole question. There are few ifs and buts.
