Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy, an expert in the mechanisms behind first impressions, claims people are looking for two things when they first meet you.
Is this a warm person? Meaning: Can I trust this person?
Is this a competent person? Meaning: Can I respect this person?
You can read about her findings in her book, “Presence”
And according to her warmth will open more doors for you than competence, though ideally a person is equipped with both.

Slovak women do not like to waste time they could have spent shopping, so they test you on both levels at the same time:
Can I trust this person to make a lot of money?
Slovak women are nothing if not practical!
Ok, that was a joke.

I think it wouldnt require study, everyone does it, maybe they dont notice but they have to evaluate a person, if what he says sounds stupid or reasonable, his looks, the way he walks, the words he uses when he speaks..
As long as a person doesnt do bad things deliberately you can “force” yourself to like them of course, barring the previous things Ive said, and maybe they will welcome it, but it feels really weird, some people just arent compatible with eachother.

Well, the lady who did the study is probably more a marketing genius than a groundbreaking researcher. Her book will be a bestseller, probably already is. Somehow lots of people think simple truths like things milked for over 200 pages will radically change their life. I’ve given up on reading books like that. The TED talk that obligatorily goes along with it tells you all you need to know. The worst example of this, is a book by Simon Simek ‘Start with why’… Wish I had their marketing fingerspitzengefuhl though..
