Thank You Steve Duck
When looking over the filtering theory created by Steve Duck I sort of laughed in amazement because it is exactly how people work when forming friendships and relationships. When meeting someone new some things I take into account before moving forward, or what I deem to be attractive, would be someone who presents themselves in a calm manner, easy going, overall positivity, and their morals. It may be weird to say but I think everyone has their ideal person in mind from the start, or it is developed over time through failed relationships. So with that said I believe I do use and have eliminated someone based on sociological or preinteraction cues. If I don't succeed with finding their sociological or preinteraction cues attractive I will not pursue it any further. However if those circumstances are met I will then proceed in hopes interaction cues and cognitive cues are found.

Dear JohnUserName, I try to be open minded when I meet someone. When I was younger I only associated with the "ranch" kids. The ones who, like me, owned animals and could survive without technology. I thought the girls who over did their makeup and the kids who drove little "sporty" cars were not worth my time. The clicks of school are always entertaining at best. The "ranch" kids make fun of the "city" kids, the "nerds" vs. the "jocks", and so forth and so on. What I have discovered in my years of wisdom is that it does not matter. Good people are good, and bad people are bad. The thing is, if you don't give someone a chance to show they are good, there is the cliché you can't judge a book by its cover.
