Confirmation bias / toupee paradox

Yes, I’ve always gotten an accurate creepy feeling from bad people from
Day 1, even as a tiny child. I’m angry that we were essentially coached in those days to ignore those feelings in favor of being polite, being respectful, etc. It led me to ignore instincts later when I was an adult.

Along the way I’ve had the feeling about molesters, abusers, and an eventual murderer. It was the murderer that my gut feeling was the most mixed/least clear about. I wonder if the worse the person, the better they are at masking vibes.

Now that I am released from a bad marriage and no longer in a male-dominated workplace, it is interesting to see my life shrink when I have the ability to now choose to avoid people who give off bad signals.

And a few months later, we read that he'd been arrested for possessing child porn. Everyone was shocked. No one would have guessed it about him. And we figured that probably had something to do with him being fired.

My coworker who had small kids at the time worked pretty closely with this guy, and she never get any creepy vibes from him.

My husband had a very kind and skilled manager who retired from the federal government at the GS-15 level and went on to be CEO of a government contractor. He was married to a woman who was in charge of a Maryland county's public school system's nutrition/school lunch program and they had a successful young adult daughter. He was seemingly respectable in every way and was a mentor to my husband.

A few years after he'd retired and went to work for the contractor, we heard he was going to federal prison. I joked with my husband that he was probably going to prison for child p0rn because we thought it would be so preposterous that would be the case. We figured it was some financial crime since he'd worked in the finance field. Turns out, he'd solicited illegal images, which he got by mail, and served 5 years.

All of you who subscribe to this physiognomy concept are ironically on the exact same wavelength as the MAGA patriarchy. Idiots all the same. Misogyny/misandry are the same.

The Nazis were pretty big on physiognomy.

People have. Short slippery slope to racism, if there is a slope at all.

But no surprise that extremely unattractive men are highly dysfunctional.

Wait so you either support judging the character of random people by their physical features or you don’t? You just said both things even though they are opposites.

Your reading comprehension skills are poor.

Here’s the thing: there are plenty of bad people doing bad things who never get caught. You think you know. You point to examples where you just had a feeling. Some people think they always know. But you don’t. Most bad people, including creeps, don’t get caught.

Men are truly a threat to public health and safety - across nations and time. We just don’t talk about it (or care, evidently) because patriarchy, I guess.

You do realize that when you post something so broad, people stop caring what you say.

If you've ever been hiking and felt as if you're being watched, and then see a cougar? That's the feeling I get from some of these men.

Turns out that I'm correct.

There’s a name for this, I think it translates from Latin to “drunk mother syndrome” or some such

The term is “stultus sum”
