I am the type of person that tends to be more shy
and reserved than others, so I tend to be the one to sit back and observe, or
even let others lead the conversation. The most unattractive qualities that
makes me disengage from a person or conversation would arrogance and someone
who is gossipy. I agree with Duck’s theory. I think do admit that a
conversation can make a first time impression, but I truly believe one’s
attractiveness is always determined by their personality. Even the most good
looking person can be ugly with certain bad qualities. I think it is absolutely
possible to eliminate someone and than reconsider them based on interaction and
their cognitive cues. I think that is easy to do with one makes assumptions on
another too quickly but realizes their assumptions were not correct, and they
reconsider that person. I have done that a lot.
I believe the same about bad qualities making someone less attractive. It made me laugh to read that part because last night I went out with some friends to a bar and encountered such a person. We were sitting there and I noticed an attractive man sitting next to me. It is hard not to overheard conversations in a crowded bar and I heard him say to his friend how much he hated his girlfriend. I was immediately disgusted and it made me look at this man in a different way. Its interesting how simple so simple can change our perception of people.
