You have to learn how to 'judge' books by their covers, so as to know those that are worth reading and those that are not, because you have better things to do with your limited time than to read every book you come across.
The primary reason books have their titles, imagery and synopsis on their covers in the first place, is so potential readers can have a fairly good idea of their content and make an informed decision on what to do with them.
So, whoever said "don't 'judge' a book by its cover", from a literal perspective, either came from a time when book covers didn't say much or didn't encounter many books. And from a figurative one, didn't know much about human nature.
This is why it is crucial to know how to effectively profile people. We all do it subconsciously anyways but most of us suck at it.
Average man sees a woman who fits the profile of a slvt; heavy makeup, boobs fighting for emancipation, dress barely covering her inner regions, and lashes so long it looks like if she blinks, she could fly,
And immediately thinks "My Folake for the night. I have to try my luck with this one."
He doesn't think "Wow, this could just be my missing rib"
She looks like a heaux so he's profiled her as one and will engage accordingly. And any man who's ever approached women who look...
Like heaux knows, MOST of the time, they are indeed heaux.
So, effective profiling is the first stage of the vetting process. Every man does it.
Female equivalent is when a broke-looking guy approaches a fine babe.
His appearance alone provides all the data she needs to subconsciously profile him as penniless and rebuff his advances because MOST men who look broke are indeed broke.
If he was driving a Benz and using an iPhone 13, she would most likely accommodate him with a smile even...
When she has a man, and perhaps, ask that they be just friends so she can use him.
To consider it more broadly, profiling is also the reason the average Nigerian standing at a bus stop by 11pm is disinclined to enter buses that have only (dark-complexioned) men in it.
Our collective mental framework for protecting ourselves from 'one-chance' situations is built on profiling. We do it all the time because it is an expedient tool that keeps us safe and generally, makes life easier to navigate.
Like everything else, it is not perfect and sometimes we're wrong, but it works for the most part.
So profiling is an essential resource for the human experience. What we do with the profiles we create or adopt, however, is where the crux is.
Therefore, one can profile a woman as a wh0re for looking like one and engage her accordingly. What you are not allowed to do is sexually harass her. Profiling is legal and necessary. Sexual harassment is not.
It is like how the Nigerian Police profiles people who look a certain way. That in itself is no crime as profiling is a fundamental part of law enforcement employed in predicting criminal behavior and apprehending suspects.
What is a crime is extorting, harassing and physically assaulting people for simply fitting a profile.
To conclude, most people and in most cases, are what they look like most of the time. The average human is not some mystery creature wrapped in an enigma requiring extensive...
Study to figure out. Meet enough people and you'll realise most of them are plain, ordinary, shallow and so it is an absurdity to compare them to something as informative or entertaining as books.
They're pamphlets at best and those typically reveal their content from their 'covers.'
And so this thread has come full circle.
