ORIGINAL: sexyred1 Of course people judge others based on their photos and the words accompanying them. How could you not? That is all someone has to go on in this medium. There is no voice, no eye contact, no aura surrounding a photo; only the photo itself and the words. Why is this wrong? If you want to project a certain attitude, you do. If it is the wrong one, change it. To me its wrong because your judging someone before you know them. Just as if your child was in school for the first day and a teacher judged them, judging sometimes stays with the person. I believe its wrong to judge someone before you know them whether its internet or not. It's better to have an open mind, not a closed one and say, I don't like the photo so I don't like the person. To me, my opinion, its wrong. Sorry, I disagree with your analogy. This is completely different from a child in school. We are discussing adults using photos to present a view of themselves on a kink dating site. What you are not grasping is often times judgement is really preferences. You have every right to have a preference. If someone doesn't like redheads and they see my photo, they have a right to not be interested in getting to know me as a person, correct? I don't care to change their opinion or judgement; it is what it is. I could have been their ultimate soulmate but who cares? They did not go for it. I don't feel judged or horrible that I am not their type; I am the same way. If I don't like a photo, I judge it as being uninteresting to me. If for some reason, I have further contact with that person and they end up being an intriguing person, then my opinion may change, but it all comes down to preferences. I always shake my head when so many threads are started with the intention of judging preferences as not being open minded. A preference is not being open minded, it is a preference. My preferences have nothing to do with being open minded. And if that works for you its wonderful. Of course we're all entitled to the opinions we have. So I have mine, so do some of the others, none of us rule the opinion but mine is valid as well as yours. Mine works for me, a child doesn't have to be under the age to still be considered a child. An adult would understand the analogy. To be called a slut because someone looks at your picture is different then someone not liking red hair. So to each their own on how they view someone. I still stand by my opinion of thinking I was wrong to view some I didn't quite know. Just as I am wrong to pass by a novel because I don't like the cover. Just as I would be wrong to judge someone with red hair if I didn't like it. For me, and me alone its a wrong emotion, for you it might not be, for me, it is. So therefore, of course you can disagree and put your thoughts about it out there, but mine are very and completely valid to me.
