    How long does it take you to "Size" a person up?

    I think I'm a good judge of character. I can usually peg you in a half hour. Perhaps that's why I can count my friends on one hand.

    JH, you have such a way with words, I commend you.

    I find that if I like a person when I first meet him/her, that will usually continue forever.  Sometimes, I may not care for someone at first, but then, I get to know them better, and my opinion changes.  I have heard that it's only a matter of seconds for your first impression to be made on someone....doesn't give us much time to "impress", does it?    lol 

    Yes I suppose in a fairly short time we do get a 'feel' for people and can tell if they are giving off good or bad vibes. Time? Hmmm, not sure Ed. I think every situation might be different. Sometimes it might take a little longer to read a person but maybe it's innate in us to be cautious.

    It depends on how much I am able to observe. Anyone can be on their good behavior for a purpose, but sometimes it takes a little time for a person's true nature to come out.

    It takes "tough" time experiences with aquintances that may yield true friends or otherwise...

    WELL ED. I look into there "Eyes .some are Shifty.Some smile but the eyes "don't . There line of "talk "Boasting they can do this and so on. When answering a "question they intend to shift one foot look down "Not look you in the Eye."Dont need a tape "Measure  like a tailor uses.To "Size them up!!

    I think I tend to ignore the red flags far too often.  As a result of doing this too many times in the past couple of years, I find I keep everyone at arm's length.  There are some people who rub me the wrong way from the get-go whom others find completely charming.  It doesn't make me change my mind.  

    After 13 seconds or after 3 words spoken. Whichever comes first.
