I very often play GURPS with people who are new to GURPS. There are two groups of people I'm very skeptical of wanting to play GURPS with. D&D players and GURPS players. D&D players, I find, are really resistant to playing anything but D&D...they are a hard sell for anything, doesn't even have to be GURPS. GURPS players are often...grognards and not always pleasant to play with. If I find compatible GURPS players I'm super happy. But I'd much rather play GURPS with someone who had never played an RPG before than I would play with a GURPSer who is inflexible and dogmatic in ways I'd rather not hang out with.

I find new people are totally fine with GURPS character creation.
