Essay: Is It Fair to Rely on First Impressions?

Should people rely on their intuition? Is it fair to judge people relying on your first impression about them? What is the first impression? To my mind, the first impression is the involuntary and instinctual opinion about the person we meet for the first time. In this case, we pay attention to her appearance, mimics, gestures and her manner of conversation. When we look at a stranger, we are able to say whether we like him or not at once. Doubtless, the first impression is very subjective, because we evaluate a person relying on our preferences, idols and prejudices. Very often, the people who were unpleasant for us become our best friends and our true love. Consequently, it is not always fair to rely on first impressions.
