Posted: 8/31/2005 11:11:53 AM | I met a few women like that. We clicked on e-mail and worked well on the phone. I'm not exactly the hottest guy around so I figured 'what the heck', I should make an effort, maybe she'll look better in person. Scratch that, not 'look better', but more to my liking.
Anyway, it was awkward every time. I won't do that anymore. If I have to stare at the pictures and really try to be attracted, it's just not going to happen. For better or for worse, I still do have preferences. It sucks. | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 11:33:27 AM | | shoot, I have no problem with it. Even meeting someone that I am not attracted to at all. No biggie, it isnt like you have to make out. I have no agenda. Besides, they may have a hot friend. | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 4:16:37 PM | | Oooh, I get the picture! Sure, I'll meet someone if the pic isn't flattering, if I feel the emails and TC's are going good and there's interest there. Pics can be deceiving. I haven't posed in Playboy/Cosmo lately, haven't broken the camera lens; nor do I scare animals or children. People really do look different than what their pics reflect. | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 6:44:25 PM | Well, Yes, because I have,
We met at another site years ago, began getting close last year...decided we wanted to meet..I saw one pic of him and wasn't attracted to him at all, but I was VERY attracted to his personality..
When I first met him in person, I was not attracted to his looks at all, but loved his personality,decided to keep seeing him, and guess what? I fell hook line and sinker for him..It didn't work out...but the moral of the story is...
I fell for somebody I wouldn't have given a second look to on the street,So judging someone on looks alone, we could really be missing the boat! | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 7:36:19 PM | Yes, I will and I have. THEY must have a picture up though.. I won't meet someone and NOT have an idea of what they look like! Ofcourse, I've met some guys that um had pics up that were like 10 years old.. so I didn't recognize them~
I've NEVER had anyone NOT recognize me! | |

Posted: 8/31/2005 9:22:14 PM | __coastergal, with eyes like yours, no wonder they recognize you. 
__Call me adventurist, but I will go on a date with a lady without a picture. She will recognize me.
__O.T. I hope you ladies will, I can be charming, witty, will make you laugh and spoil you. Flattering picture? Who needs that?

Posted: 8/31/2005 9:38:41 PM | | Nope. Depends on what that means exactly. A non-flattering pic can mean anything I suppose but since it's relative to the viewer anyway, it's that specific person who is deciding what is and isn't acceptable in their own mind's eye. Simply put, if I think she's ugly as sin I'm not going to meet with them. Another person may well come along and decide that she's the cat's meow. Conversely, I may find her attractive while my friends liken her to the return of the Swamp Thing. It happens. As long as physical attraction counts for something we all have our preferences and we know what just won't do it for us. | |

Posted: 9/1/2005 10:35:38 AM | Awe.. thanks Doc! :-)
Gotapulse.. what if your talking to someone... that isn't Hot.. but isn't ugly... and after chatting with them you have a lot in common? You seem to kind of click?
I went out with someone.. that whelp, I wasn't overly attracted to his photo... but we had a great time together.. it wasn't until the 4th date.. that I really started falling on him. The things that I initially thought weren't so attractive seemed to disappear.. and he just became downright sexy to me!
If I had judged him on his photo... dayum... I would have missed out on A LOT!  | |

Posted: 9/1/2005 12:55:38 PM | | i have and i will. i like a guy who can make me laugh, ive been out with very good looking guys and ive been out with a guy who my girlfriends said looks like an axe murder. needless to say me and the so called axe murder had the greatest time. i grew up with a beautiful mother but she just couldnt take a good picture. | |

Posted: 9/1/2005 1:02:31 PM | Yes I would. It isnt all about the looks. But I will not meet someone who has no pic. And the pic must be recent and NOT photoshoped!~!
Other than that I figure i will give them a try and see how it goes. Is it really a big deal if you spend an afternoon with someone your not physically atrracted to? You could end up being the best of friends.
Just my two cents!~! | |

Posted: 9/1/2005 1:11:34 PM | | I have met people in the past who's pics were not flattering and was pleasantly surprised when the face to face happened. Not everyone takes a good photo so I try not to put to much emphasis on the pics. A photo is just an "idea" of what someone looks like. Meeting live is the true test as far as attraction goes. | |

Posted: 9/1/2005 5:42:23 PM | Have done that more than once and I expect will do it some more in the future. I have met some that had a lousy pic but WOW am I ever glad I met them in person....the pics definately did them no justice whatsoever!!
I prefer a pic but it's not mandatory.
As long as the communication is strong, that will give me more of a reason to want to meet. | |
