I love you, but...


This piece of news is about relationships between couples. Is an interview that was conducted at a number of couples who had been for a long time together. They told which was their first impression on their husbands or wives, and how had developed their love.
In general, through this interview, we can notice that, at first, the couples thought they would not be together ever, since their first impression on the other was that they were very different people, but then with the time they realized that their prejudices were unfounded.
We note, in these relationships, at first, when they don’t know the other, they reject the other based on their first impression and prejudice
. For example, in the interview, one of the wives said: " Adam was wearing these jean culottes, like jean shorts, and this thought flashed through my head: I could not have sex with a guy who wore jean culottes." Here you may notice a physical type bias, because her impression is based on the shorts he uses, and this is the kind of people she does not see on a future relationship. Or another example would be the case of the husband who thought: “‘She’s really pretty’ but I Also Thought She Seemed shallow and a little immature.” Here we see a Prejudice of the type more psychological, because the man just by looking at women believes that she is superficial, i.e. based on physical features attributes psychological characteristics.
In conclusion, prejudices are present in all of us, and in some situations we use it also as a way of categorization. And categorizations make us save time in the mental processes as we have a fixed concept to refer to several things based on this concept, saving energy.
