What I don't understand is that for example in male or female friendship cirlces a man can't just meet a guy for the first time say to himself "I don't like him and I don't want to be friends with him". People say you cannot get a long with everybody but you can't really just dislike somebody for no reason right?
but people do this all the time, they rely exclusively on their prejudicially negative first impressions to give folk the cold shoulder. there is ALWAYS a reason for everything under the sun, even though the reasons/motives are often ulterior. i know this for a fact because i have been a recipient of this treatment, and have been told upon much inquiry from me as to the reasons for said prejudice, words to the effect of "if you have to ask me about something so obvious which even the dumbest person would automatically understand, then there is just no explaining it to you!" but i cannot accept that this is ever a good thing, because it is contrary to the golden rule.
