What influences your first impression about a person? In life, while I don't like to judge people by their appearance - that they seem friendly, that they are clean in appearance, certainly influences my first impression.
Here on SH, I assume that it would be the comments a person makes that gives you that first impression. Are their opinions similar to yours? Well stated? Are they respectful if they voice opinions that differ than yours? Is the avatar, the name, the profile details important to you? For me - the opinions don't need to be similar in viewpoint - but they need to be someone who at least is respectful of the ideals that I hold dear. Before befriending someone, I check out their profile and read through opinions voiced on other polls. Their profile statement about themselves and their values, as well as their favorite quotes, are important to me before sending out a 'friend request'. Religious affiliation is not important at all - but merely a curiosity. Being that I am one of the very few on SH involved in Scientology, and being that of my 500 friends on SH propably 98% do not share my religious beliefs - that aspect does not influence my decision in choosing a friend. I have formed many friendships on SH with Christians, Atheists, Pagans, Buddhists, etc. Likewise, in life, religious beliefs is not an important characteristic, but respecting each other for the paths we choose, is certainly a pre-requisite.

Much like a rich powerful cold blooded killer right before a republican murderer of a poor defenseless american company that " IS " getting torn up piece by piece to foreign vampires !
reply - Metaldane 2012/08/01 17:31:13+1How they act towards people I could care less how they dress unless it's not the normal style and then I just like em more lol (but that's only because I've always gotten along better with people who don't like blending in) mostly I care about their personality and their behavior everything else just helps me get to know them better.reply
