| Why Do Africans Judge People By Their Looks And Appearance?? by verine(op): 6:35pm On May 06, 2016 |
I felt a poach on my ego todaY! No long talks, cuz I already feel bad within.. I walked into a lecturers office today, relating to the fact that my test script was missing.i went in with a friend, we laid the complaint, the Lady just looked up to me and sayed she is quite sure I never participated in the test, prolly I was out there with those useless girls.. She never even gave me a fair hearing.. She went ahead to check for my guy's own.. Fortunately as she was flipping through the scripts, my eyes caught my index number.. I drew her attention to my script.. She looked at the score and looked back at me.. And what came out of her was" are you sure,you own this script " I felt totally messed up.. I nodded in the affirmative, because I knew if I dare opened my mouth.. I couldn't guarantee Wat would sprout forth... And she was like.. Honestly Yo don't look like a serious student.... I could possibly say I never gave her a single word through out the persecution minute... My question is " is intelligence abi serious student tagged on the forehead? Or dressing determine the level of intellect ? Please we should try to treat humans fairly! Everyone deserves the right to fair hearing! ![]() |

this says a lot about how you dress, 'serious student' is not written on the forehead but if you're dressed irresponsibly, you'd be seen by your lecturers as unserious and irresponsible except you prove them wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience but you have to start dressing and acting the way you want to be addressed. |

it is called HALO EFFECT IN PSYCHOLOGY (Judging a book by its cover). And it states that we tend to draw logical conclusions regarding peoples character and behaviour frm their outward appeareance e.g dressing, language, Movement etc. This is used mainly by security forces to predict a possible criminal by their appearance e.g: Sagging of trousers Long beards Unkept hair Poor dressing Suspicious movement The way the talk How they interact. . So it is a instinctive behaviour to judge people by their appearance. although sometimes we may be wrong when we judge the book by its cover, but we cant help it because its instinctive. |

You want to buy a landed property in Lagos worth N50m. From who would you like to buy? A well dressed real estate agent or a Rastafarian with an unkempt hair, left earring and torn jean?? If you're caught in a crime scene, your sagged or torn jean can get you merciless beatings before you open your mouth to spill a word. Light travels faster than sound. |

My way of dressing and apparently "free" lifestyle had denied me so many stuffs I deserved blablabla too... Maybe You just gotta adopt hypocrisy a lil bit for a lil while till you get what u want to avoid these sh!ts my man. |

Don't kid yourself. If you're truly intelligent. It would reflect on your dress sense. It ain't rocket science. |

How do you know someone is Mad? |

I just had to chill a bit, then read through the comments.. I can't agree less ,I think all the points are valid, yet very subjective... Almost all the points were directed at dress sense. "" I might want to clarify.. If a T-shirt on a jean to Nike kik is a bad out for a Thursday class as a final year student ..to say, I don't even love distressed Jean not to say of playing them myself.. Besides the 2nd guy I went in there with ..wasn't dressed like a clergy either.. I still don't get any reason as to justify her act please.. I wasn't in her office for an interview, besides it wasn't planned... So I don't understand the negative energy there.. |

missyQween:Thats an old saying that's got no prove.. Your appearance has got nothing to do with your intelligence A gall walks in on weave (Artificial) she's seen as classy, anither walks in in Natural Hair, she's seen as poor and unserious.. This whole thing boils down to hypocrisy.. Op rock your cloths the way you want and forget about all the Criticism, you'll find out life is much easier when you don't have to impress anyone |
