You know the expression "I don't like your face,"?  Fightin' words. 

I don't know the mechanics of it, but I think there are certain people that we just instinctively/intuitively react badly to.  People whose manner/expression/aura/whatever are somehow highly antithetical or offensive to us on some unconscious or subconscious level.  People that we have an intense negative reaction to within split seconds of our first exposure to them for no good or explainable reason.

I know this has happened to me.  I don't doubt that I've been the subject of it as well.  Maybe that's what happened with you and your arch-nemesis.

yeah, I know that there are certainly people that I dislike for no good reason. But normally later I realize that there were many perfectly reasonable, non-appearance-based reasons for me to hate them.

Can't argue with that.  I'm not saying that initial reaction isn't justified, just remarking on the phenomenon.
