I tend to dislike most people. But that's mostly because I'm not very social and people get on my nerves far too easily. And to a lesser extent, because I radiate waves of hate. :lol: I need a reason before I'll like someone, but I'm fortunately pretty accepting on reasons to like people. So basically, I don't like people until proven with almost any evidence that they're not completely annoying. :D

There are actual scientific reasons for why some people can't explain why they don't like someone.
One of them is:
As a person, you have your own internal sound. Sometimes certain people's voices can interupt that internal sound, therefore you don't like them.
Two:
Everyone has a sent, and sometimes people come along who you may not actually be able to smell them strong like ordinary body oder, but their smell doesn't sit well with you.

Thought I'd throw that out there. Because I have come across people who I couldn't explain why i didn't like them.

I don't like some people because of the way they come off in a social situation. It's natural human reaction to that sort of thing. I don't mean . . . if they can't hold a conversation or something . . . that I don't like them. It's more like, if they really just come off as a big, fat d**k I don't want nothing to do with them.

Of course, there are some people . . . like my girlfriend's brother who really just. They're just nasty right off.

I consider an unexplainable feeling to be a good reason. There's one guy I don't trust because my dad's dog didn't like him. He seemed normal, but she would never let him near the children. I'm gonna trust the dog on that one, she was smarter than most people I know.

yeah, sometimes it's just an instinctual thing. you see a person and the pheramones or something go "OH HELL NO" and you just don't like them.
this happens a lot more if you are introverted and antisocial by nature.

Always a reason.
Not always a good one.

I can understand this. I chose "No. There are some people that I just don't like, and there isn't always a reason why, I just don't." It's not always a bad thing or you being a bad person. There are people out there you just don't want to invite into your personal circle. You just don't like them. It's not that you dislike them, you just don't desire a connection to that person, even a temporary one.

I usually don't like someone because of something they did, but I do occasionally get a feeling of "I don't like that person" when I've only just seen them. I also sometimes immediately like someone.

I voted kind of flippantly on the poll, picking "I dislike most people," which is kind of true, but I also do have reasons to dislike some people, but they're not always good or valid reasons. Sometimes it's just a feeling. :/

All of the above, 'cept the last one. . .

There are people I don't like 'cos of a feeling

theres also ones that give me a reason

some of the reasons are viable, others, not so much. . .

But most people I like ^^ (so long as you don't do something hurtful to me)
