| What the F---! Posted: 5/15/2007 3:23:23 PM | You should have a pic, I met a woman with no pic, she sent one taken in a dark room, wearing a black dress, then another photo face only. When i met her, I found out what she was HIDING. She was on the other side of the line I keep my toes on. Call me shallow or whatever the eff you want I can't get my arms around that. If I fell in love with a woman and she got fat I would still love her but I'm not walking into that. I have to decide who I'm going to be with. No one can make that choice for me. | |

I hope you dont let the rude ones discourage you from being the nice person you sound like..say hi anytime I can be a great listener and a good friend too.
Good luck  | |

| What the F---! Posted: 5/17/2007 10:55:32 PM | even if some people have pictures that doesn't mean they really look that way. so I wouldn't worry about . There are alot of people that lie about there pic and everything else so really you cant go by the pic you just gotta take a chance. | |

Anyway, if you really ARE good-looking, what's wrong with a pic or 2? Unless you're really Brad Pitt, I'd say that's false modesty.
Don't you want?  | |

| What the F---! Posted: 5/18/2007 9:50:40 PM | | I just don't get why anyone male or female would want to mislead anyone over their looks and/or body type. Sure, you might develop a good rapport with someone online and have no real clue about what they look like but as soon as you meet there could be absolutely no physical attraction between the two of you and the meeting would be over in 5 minutes. What would be the point? And I would think that would be a major letdown, especially if you've chatted with each other for quite awhile. I think it's far better to present your physical appearance up front and get it over with from the very beginning. Either someone likes the way you look or they don't. Their opinion of your looks is out of your control so don't worry so much about it, it's only important for YOU to like the way you look. On a side note, tho, many people look better in person than they do in photos. | |

men and women both have a need to see the other's appearance if there is going to be a meeting in the near future. the simple truth is everyone has his or her idea of what their partner should look like. John Stossle was also involved in another study on how men and women choose mates. the study candidates were all asked to fill out a questionare on appearance traits, then they were asked to sit in front of a computer and sort thru the different features of the desired body traits.
everyone had a wide varying range of results. overall what men looked for were body traits below the neck, were women seemed to be more concerned for the entire package as part of the assessment.
it was also learned thru this study that when the questionares were compared to the results based on the viewing of images that there were some underlying cues that were hard-wired into the brains of each gender as to what was a desirable trait or not. (see paragraph above for example)
so yes..looks count! | |
