no, you cant hate someone based on first site, i dont usually hate anyone though. although i may really dislike someone if they are abusive or anything like that.

I have certainly experienced intense dislike straight away. But I am prepared to be open about it, and sometimes someone I dislike will surprise me, and I may grow to respect them (but not necessarily like them).

Even though I think people should try not to judge each other, there are certain people that I have disliked just after seeing them without really knowing anything about them or even having a real reason for disliking them.

I do. In tenth grade, on the first day of school, I made eye contact with a new student and felt exactly that: hate at first site. Sixth months later, we were inseperable best friends. Six years later, he was having an affair with my fiancee. Scumbag piece of garbage. Turns out I was right to begin with.

If I saw something that struck me so strongly, then yes. If my first site of a person was seeing them grossly or violently abusing an animal, yes - I would hate them at first site. If I saw them beating a baby or an elderly person, yes I would hate that person at first site. I believe that, for ignorant, prejudiced or racist people, they may think they experience hate at first sight, but their hate is not born of sensible judgement - so I don't think it is valid.

hell yeah i hate lots of people i dont know the first time i saw george W. i wanted to kick his lips off

It's like judging a book by it's cover - that instinctive first sight judgement.

Yep. I look at people every day and automatically hate at least 1 out of 5.

Be fair. At least give someone a fair chance to prove they are rotten to the core! LOLOL

No, I believe nhate is a learned concept. Children love everyone until they learn from others.

No. People may seem distasteful at first but most people don't even act CLOSE to what is really inside. You always need to be yourself so you won't have to put up an act for someone because they think your someone your not.

it happens, i don't do it though

I'm sure people are capable of it, but I treat everyone as a respectable equal or superior until they prove otherwise. So I don't hate at first sight -ever-, only once they have proven themselves worthy of hate. To be entirely honest, I think people who hate at first sight have proven themselves worthy of hate ; )

No , you might get a eerie feeling about someone , though that doesn't mean hate at first site

Yup i do .. if you see the "Sweet" bloke i have to work with you will understand .. lol .

I don't believe in hate in any matter..what a waste of energy..only hurts the one doing the hating..I do believe that after just a few moments you do get a basic like or dislike kind of feeling :)

i agree with the others i have never hated at first sight but i have disliked at first sight. I also agree with the person that was saying about babies and elder people. I have had a strong feeling of being scared of someone. I think everything is to a degree, but i try to give people the benifit of the doubt. However instinct is usually right.

No, not at all. I learned some time ago that if I had feelings of animosity towards someone without knowing them, it was actually my own self whom I wasn't happy or satisfied with.

It is possible for me. If I first see a person and they are abusing a child it would be hate at first sight!

yeah, sometimes I just HATE the way people look.

Yes! I think it's possible. Maybe not (hate) but something about your chemistry and theirs is wayyyyyy off. And it's a nooooo way feeling right off.

Hell YEAH! Once - didn't know the guy - from across a crowded room of people. I took a look at this guy and this odd thought through my head. I felt that I 'knew' that,"This guy cheats on his wife and makes her feel guilty about it." I ended up having to work for him and quit the company. (IBM)

yes

Will, my theory is that the reason why one hate's certain people at first sight is because: 1- we have met someone in the past that we've judged as "bad" & this person resembles that person so, they remind us of our previous encounters. 2- It's simply a matter of chemistry. 3- It's racism! we hate people that have facial features (or other feats.) similar to a certain race, religion, ideology etc. (not me though) ; ) 4- The person does or says something that we judge to be bad; "beating a child, disrespecting someone" and so on. 5- Maybe we envy them! LOL By the way I have felt this some times & I thing it happens, really.

Oh, yes! And, remember what they say "careful who you hate, it could be someone you love"

HELL YEA!This has been really bugging me since I experience it on a daily basis. A lot of girls in customer service rolls seem to hate me at first sight and I don't know why. I am pretty friendly to them. One time I was speaking to an acquaintance and giving her advice (she asked) when she suddenly blurted "I really hated you when I first saw you, but you're alright." I was kinda shocked and asked why. She didn't give a reason-in fact she said there was no reason. WTF... >:/ After that I slowly stopped talking to her because I thought that was weird. Then the other day, I went to go see the doctor and the receptionist was really short and rude with me. I sat down and watched her with other people and she was really nice to them. I don't think I'm being sensitive. Half the time I don't even notice it. One time my friend was with me and we were at the cashier and just leaving when she told me...."hey, that girl was really rude to you" and I was like "Really? How?" I'm still trying to figure this out, but there is obviously something wrong with these girls because I am friendly and I don't even usually say anything before they judge me.

maybe. but i do believe in confusion at first sight. i tend to reverse my opinion about people after getting to know them. my best friends and longest relationships were people i didn't like at first.

Yup. Anybody who dresses like a cliched gangbanger doesn't get my respect.

there can be but i would say that the person you "hate at first sight" most likely reminds the hater of someone. but of course the are some nasty people in this world

Yes! sometime though its pretty wrong to do that. sometime u have to manipulate people, and if u miss some factor of the person's over all character the result will be wrong. which will lead to something u wished would have never happened.

I do not believe in hate, but I do believe in the fact that you can sense something is not quite right about a person. They way they act sometimes just does not display the message they are sending unconsiously. I can only hate ones I love, so even if I believed in hate at first sight I could not possibly hate somebody.
