Do the clothes people wear shape what you think of them? Do you smile or cringe more often? What is cringeworthy for you and why?

    Not usually.

    There are some exceptions ... such as if someone is wearing pants around their knees, I am tempted to ask them if they were caught with their neighbor's wife "in flagrante delicto".

    Very funnee hunnee. I just got a mental image of that. I am so toutable mentally visually. You say it I "see" it in my mind's eye! Thank you for your reply Walt and Happy Saturday. You do know you can buy name brand jeans with lotsa holes in them and folks wear them as if they were well-dressed? No accounting for taste I guess. They're not cheap either! Sheesh! :)

    Clothes don't bother me much.

    Some mannerisms can turn me off: unctuousness, braggadocio, and that chronic rage that simmers just below the surface in some people.

    Smell bothers me heaps: perfumes that are too strong, alcohol, cigarettes, stale garlic, and B.O.

    I may be allergic to perfumes, colognes, after-shave lotions. They turn my stomach. Nauseate me bigly. Didn't used to be like that. But if I can smell someone coming or when someone leaves the smell is left behind I'm not a happy camper. Some folks must have bum sniffers because they DRENCH themselves in the stench. SIGH. I do form opinions about people based on how they dress. I confess. I like gals to be dressed in a lady-like way. I prefer modesty to flagrant displays of voluptuous body parts. I am very old-fashioned. I also like clean not dirty. Alcohol on someone's breath in the morning saddens me. I had double pneumonia years ago and so I get physically ill around cigarette smoke and start coughing. I cannot breathe so I have to leave wherever smokers are. I love the smell and taste of garlic! I don't know what "stale" garlic smells like though. I react to the "vibes" people give off. Immediately. I am either drawn in by them or repelled by them. I cannot tolerate braggarts. I like polite resspectful thoughtful. I think individual rage is authentic and collective rage is not. It is for show. Once you get a group of folks together it becomes entirely different. Inauthentic. For the cameras. A vile mob. Just my opinion. Thank you for your thought reply bw! :)

    I try not to judge people by the clothes they wear, but sometimes I can't help it.  I find it off-putting to see some obese woman wearing leggings with crop tops for the world to see each and every roll of fat.  I am not thin by any means, but at least I wear clothes that are not form fitting.  I also don't like women or men who wear clothes that are age-inappropriate.  If kids in high school are wearing that trend, you can bet it probably shouldn't be worn by someone in their 50s or older.  

    Overpowering scents are also a turn-off.  Nothing worse than being trapped in a plane with someone who slathered on after shave or cologne.
