Assume a good-looking person is stupid? My boyfriend told me he was surprised at my intelligence when he first met me. Because he was attracted to the way I looked and assumed I must be dumb if I was beautiful. However, every time I see a good-looking person I assume that they're intelligent. I learned in psych that most people assume good-looking people are intelligent. I don't like passing judgments on people, but we all do it whether we think it's right or not. I'm just stating what usually goes on in my head. What kind of things do you assume about good-looking people? Or about other people that have a certain characteristic?

I try not to generalize anybody based on looks. If I did I would not have the diverse friends I do.

No, but I admit I do tend to assume a goodlooking man is a player...

Oh, brother!! Well, beauty is also in the eye of the beholder, so he's really messed up on all of it. You are attractive, but what if the guy was only into beauty as blonde & blue eyed? He makes no sense!! And, it's not nice to judge.

I thought the typical lack of intelligence assumption was based on blonde hair and breast size. I dont typically make assumptions on looks but i am sorry to say, the more into sports a man is, if he is not a participant at least, the less intelligent he appears to me. This makes no sense, I know, but i do it. It's fine. We all make generalizations sometimes. It's just the way we are. The way we treat people according to those generalizations is what matters.

He makes no sense!! And, it's not nice to judge. Well no kidding. He thought I was pretty and I guess most of the women he found attractive were always stupid. He didn't treat me badly the first few times we met because of it, so it was fine. Everyone makes generalizations and judgments.

most good looking people are shallow because they get to much given to them because of there looks. they also tend to be stuck up

It's interesting because I always assume the best of good-looking people and think that people I don't find good-looking are not intelligent. Different experiences with people probably.
