I changed my mind. I'm taking a neutral stance on the word because even though it sounds like simply another form of the word prejudge, and it is found on large anti-prejudism web-sites, Google does the "did you mean" thing and it isn't found in a certain online dictionary.Quote:

prejudism is not a word look it up.
I posted my last post ten minutes before yours yet you didn't read it. That is something a dumbass would do.
it's prejudice you're thinking about and all I said was you were a little shallow for being swayed a certain way in your choice for a partner, I personally think personality is the key factor, although looks are tempting. I thought what that guy said was deplorable.
oh well consider me a dumbass then I'm the dumbest dumbass ever because I am at fault. haha.
now that everyone is gone... haha
I looked further into it: the noun form of prejudice is prejudicacy and not prejudism so I retract the statement that prejudism is a word or that I'm neutral on it. You're right, but you still should make sure to read all the posts if you hadn't already. Prejudice was not the word I was looking for. I already knew that word and was looking for it's noun form.
Go set up a thread to argue instead of hijacking this one.
(QUOTE) I said looks because even though I wanted to say personality because I have very high standards when it comes to intellect and character, (QUOTE) You mean she has to be able to communicate in more than grunts and gestures.
Would I be right in guessing you are single.
a noun is a person place or thing, period. But yes prejudicacy would be the state of being prejudice prior to a certain time and it being applied to someone (prepossesive) so I suppose it makes sense in your situation, but prejudice does just as well.
psychocat, grunts and gestures, horrible!
