So, as some of you know I have my picture online since last weekend. I am in a kid of experiment phase. Before I placed it I was already writing with few guys. Real and each great in his way. Two of them saw me a first time in reality and it seems they still like me ;)

Now, last week I decided to upload a picture. The amount of first contact increased significantly (so I am not the most scary one here ;)) But the ratio of "first contact/good impression" is decreasing exponentially.

I just have a feeling that most of the guys who write me now have problems with reading. They write me based on how I look. They most probably look at my picture, think "could be uglier" and send me the email. The "copy/paste" email. Not spending a minute to read. Heading to next profile with a picture.
One actually sent me the exactly the same email twice (two different days) and became aggressive (telling me I probably spent toooo much time looking at myself in the mirror) when I pointed it out and I shown no interest in discussing why there are some many fake women here.

So here is the question:
DOES THE PICTURE HELP YOU OR NOT?

No way Trueheart. I am actually removing my picture in next few days (the experiment if for the fixed period). No need to attract those I am not looking for :)
And less jerks like the one today. Wrrrr…

As soon as I put a picture up, the scammers send me emails. The real people read my profile and don't send any emails as I'm not looking.

I think you look beautiful in your picture and by reading your prior post's you seem beautiful on the inside as well, but I'm not so sure this is the site to meet a mate only because I haven't heard a lot of success stories. I hope that's not raining on your parade. Best of luck to you.wine

I unfortunately am getting a lot of 28 to 45 year olds sending me emails, based on my holiday photo......

Now really I am interested romantically in men in my age range.

Hey, I do agree we are visual. Of course I like that handsome guys look nice on the pictures. But I love that the normal or not so handsome guys look beautiful when they are happy.

So from the "surface" I expect the guy not to be terrifying, or disgusting; be few cm taller than me, have face-expressions and sparks in the eyes when he talks, and that he likes himself.
If I would like his personality I would most probably like his look.

Anyway, I find, the "not so visible" more important.

Of course I look at them, I touch them and most important… I smell them!
Yeah, they need to feel and smell good.
If they would talk we would probably have conversation as well ;)

Yea, this crazy girl smelling the fruits it's me

If Im not wrong, you are experimenting expecting certain results... ...Im afraid you won`t like the results at the end

DOES THE PICTURE HELP YOU OR NOT?


There's no guarantee that we'll find the right one whether we have a picture or not. I do know that we are visual creatures and a picture may increase your chances of being contacted but the bottom line is what's inside that person. Do they look good on the outside but the insides are rotten or do they look just alright/plain, but they are amazing on the inside.
It's a crap shoot no matter how you look at it but one can only hope they find the combination of appearance and personality that suits them at the end of the day.
