Wait until you have young children involved in school, sports/hobbies, friendships, etc. you will see ample bad side of folks (other parents) that will certainly change some initial good impressions to the point of hatred.

I have a friend who, we don’t really talk a lot anymore, but we used to be close like I was sleeping on his couch pretty much every weekend during the football season that’s how close we were. I am kept apprised of what’s going on in his life through mutual friends, but he has an older sister who used to be cordial with me, not necessarily super friendly but we could have a conversation, and she turned out to be a huge piece of shite. She’s the only person I’ve ever blocked on social media

Man that's a tough way to approach life.
I assume most people want to be decent until they prove otherwise.

One time we had an emergency situation at work, and when the shite hit thr fan, they both got serious and were key in controlling the crisis. I went to bat for them a couple of times each in the years following.
Had a coworker that, when I took over the department, I thought he was an arse. But, as I got to know him, I recognized how sincere he was, and that he was entirely motivated by the best of inputs. Disciplined, smart. We had a work crisis, and he was absolutely my right hand. Gone to bat for him several times as he's rubbed others the wrong way.
In the inverse situation, I hired someone to eventually be my replacement upon my inevitable departure. Spent a lot of time working with her so she would be successful. I leave, she gets promoted. Does a total 180, and half my old staff hates her guts.

It happens all the time. We’re programmed to judge people on first impressions and superficial observations, a kind of survival instinct from caveman times.
But the reality of their personality, beliefs, etc is often far different.
The most common example nowadays is social media. You take someone you disagree with all the time on this message board… IRL you might have a lot more in common than not.

TLDR: Older single blonde stewardesses are to be avoided.
Yes, a friend of my wife’s (that I unfortunately introduced her to).
Attractive blonde, former stewardess, older, I think 60. Started out 10 years ago as a fun, talkative, positive person to be around.
But over the last couple of years, not so much.
First she got blotto wasted a couple of times on our boat at the lake, in front of some people she didn’t even know.
She’s made multiple comments about my football playing teenaged son like “OMG, he’s so handsome and hot!”.
She’s become anti-male and bitter as she gets older and no-one wants to date her and makes comments about it. Ironically she was still married because of finances, but has her own condo in town and her hubby lives at the lake.
Her former meth-head daughter got involved with a wealthy dude my age last year and she just gloats on and on about his money and assets (even though he’s about 350 and looks like he’ll keel over any time). Doesn’t help that he bought her a $30,000 ring while they were all on vacation.
Late last year she gets into a shouting match on the phone with her estranged hubby. Tells him to frick off. What does he do? Goes out into the garage and shoots himself dead.
The latest is that she saw one of my friends last week at a concert. She was lit up and talked to him about his upcoming marriage. Exclaimed in front of a bunch of people “you mean you’re gonna get married to this woman and you haven’t fricked her?”. My friend was aghast (he’s has strong faith).
I think I’ve convinced my wife this lady is a bad person and to steer clear.

Yep. My girlfriend in high school. Thought she was a good, faithful church-going girl who was telling the truth when she said she’d wait on me when I got shipped to Germany after graduation.
The first letter I got from her where she explained how “she met someone” told me different.

Yeah, found out somebody in our friend group was into sharing his wife. Not swapping, just enjoyed being cucked.
He doesn’t even know I know, but I’ve never been able to talk to him the same.

I had this happen in reverse with a manager. I went into a meeting with him where I was very sure he was just going to pay a bunch of lip service to the topic du jour, but dude straight up wasn't happy with the script he had because it wasn't conveying a message in a way that showed he actually cared about the people under him. Ended up spending over 30 minutes fine tuning his message to make sure it came across correctly. I walked out of the meeting having completely flipped my opinion on the man.

Yes. Local attorney here in Tuscaloosa. Thought he was a good guy but turned out to be a thief and serial adulterer.

somewhat insulting that he apparently did not extend an offer to you to bang her
