Thoughts on going out
Ok, well I am curious, what is your view on this subject.If someone asks you out, and they like your photo, but it's just a head shot. They say they tend to date certain types.
Is it odd the person tell you this?
Is it ok to ask why? And if I didn't fit your criterea what would you do, say ok, now I don't want to ask you out? After they just got done saying they wanted to meet you?
I guess certain people are attracted to certain types. I don't know what my type is if I'm attracted to a particular type or not.
What is attraction? I guess I don't really say I know. I walk into a room, I know I look at the general person. I guess next time I go to a singles party or function I'll pay closer attention on to whom I set my eyes upon and see if I prey on a particular type of man.

I don't think attraction can work online. I think it serves as a kind of 'filter' so you meet people that fall into those categories that are important to you. If they're asking you out (a full-on date, not just coffee or a drink), well - they're expecting something you're probably not prepared to give...
You're always safer meeting somewhere public first. Or better yet, talk online (email or chat) and find out what you may have in common, and watch for those 'red flags' that would turn you off immediately if the person were in front of you.
As to 'they tend to date certain types' - yeah, that's a bit odd. They're already thinking of you as a 'type' not a person. Enough reason for me to move on...

So I guess in a way I have dated a certain 'type'. Sad but true, but indeed harder to do online as you tend to only see their face to begin with.
Good luck in your choices.
PS I also believe guys are much fussier about looks than we are....just have to know that to not take things personally sometimes.
