First impressions, are they important to you?

Question

How important are first impressions to you? I'm just curious to know. First impressions mean a lot to me, not that they can't change but how about you?

Answer 1

first impressions count.

Answer 2

They mean a lot at the very beginning (that wasn't obvious or anything) but in the long run no not really.  They don't tend to last long if I get to know a person.  In fact I tend to forget first impressions quite quickly.

Answer 3

Very important...it can mean a good job, a promotion, meeting family members of a fiancee, or just in general, while out in public.  

Answer 4

i agree alot 4 me.. i make a good 1  

Answer 5

yes if someone looks crappy or is acting crappy you assume they are always that way even if we know its not rite

Answer 6

To me, first impressions really aren't that important.  I've learned that you usually can't expect much from people the first time they meet you.  They usally won't be very comfortable or spontaneous around you because they don't know your reactions. I don't form much of an impression until I've spent some time with them.  If I've only briefly met you once, I probably won't even remember your name a few days later.  

Answer 7

Off course the first impression must be good. It is which makes us to maintain relation with people. If the first impression itself is bad then we usually will not tend to make any relation with them.
