Some Statics that we should know

[AwsomeDude]

first impressions of you are based:

1- 55% on your appearance and body language,

2- 38% on your style of speaking and only

3- 7% on what you actually say

 

so you believe that ?

does this apply to you when you take 1st impression about people ?

But there were no studies to back it up. It might be true, but I don't know really.

looooooooool

am not goin to post the topic once again!

 

the point in here that this is true when it comes to the 1st impression!

but for the long run it will change !

First impressions to me:

1. How they talk.

2. How they carry themselves.

3. Their facial expressions.

4. Their actions, which show underlying intentions. (You can tell by the little things that people say, and how they say it).

 

I'm pretty keen on my first impressions of a person. It's like my radar. I use to detect those people who are selfish verses those who are worth getting to know as a friend: guy or girl.

70% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Like it or not looks are important when it comes to that inital attraction in the bar/club etc.

 

And this is the best advice I've seen yet:

 

1. Do initiate flirtation with people of roughly the same level of attractiveness as yourself?

 

This will give you the best chance of compatability. Most successful marriages and long-term relationships are between partners of more or less equal good looks. There is some leeway, of course, and other qualities are also important, but statistically, relationships where one partner is much more attractive than the other tend to be less successful. Studies have shown that the more evenly matched partners are in their attractiveness, the more likely they are to stay together.

The way a person speaks is VERY influential to me. If somebody has a limited vocabulary of 7 words, it really disencourages me to engage in a conversation with them.
