What Soul_jyot has written is totally correct. What can I add to it, except that I am not there yet.
How important are first impressions?
When I meet a keshdhari Sikh, I feel really good and, I admit, have a good impression. I feel a bit sad, even a bit betrayed at mona Sikhs.

Our shaheeds died rather than cut their hair, including those in my own family. That has a direct bearing on my feelings.
I tend to like and respect keshdhari Sikhs more at the beginning.
This sometimes changes as I get to know the person better. Some keshdhari Sikhs are really, well, really not nice people. Some monas are wonderful people.
I have found it necessary to move beyond the first impression to get to know the person under the hair follicles. It takes more than kesh and Kaur/Singh somewhere in your name to make a Sikh. (But that's a start.)

Charan ji, why do I feel that I'm being led into a trap of some sort?
