What do you look for in a profile?
I have a question for both men and women of CS and my question is: what is the one most important attribute you are looking for in a profile before you contact that person
1.Wealth?
2.Looks?
3.sense of humour?
1.Wealth: well does it bother you what a strangers income is and would it put you off a potential date because of it?
2.Looks: yes the old Brad Pitt or Jennifer Lopez syndrome
When you are looking at a few simple pictures on a profile can you really feel attraction to that person?
3.Sense of humour: Would a good sense of humour be important to you and would you give up the above to meet somebody who makes you feel happy all the time?
Now in my opinion people can't fake having a good sense of humour but they could easily fake the other two attributes
1.Which one of those three is most important to you when viewing somebody's profile and why?
2.Would you email somebody who has not got a picture of themselves on their profile and if not why?
As the old saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words but my saying goes a scammers profile is worthless
Now it's your turn people

Sense of humor is my biggest priority. I love to laugh and a smile on a woman's face is always so beautiful!

Hiya Houston,
Sense of humor is my biggest priority. I love to laugh and a smile on a woman's face is always so beautiful!
Hello ed
Yes I agree that a woman with beautiful smile can light up any room
Us men are such simple creatures and we don't want for much but I can't say the same thing about most women

I look at the picture first, I am not really looking for Brad Pitt but when I look at a picture I could pretty much decide if I am interested in the person, one must feel a connection first I think we are all attracted to different things. Once the attraction is there then getting to know the person is second. There are certain things that are turn off's to me, swearing is number one on the list. After that you could pretty much tell if you could formulate a relationship with the person.Yes I would email someone without a picture based on what they say in their profile, but would request a picture shortly after.
Welcome nrodiasan
What the F" did you say about swearing
I must be honest and say that I simply can't feel a connection from a photo because it does not diffine to me who that person is inside, so instead I read the profile and contact that person if I find it to be interesting
Is a picture that important in the early stages of chat between two strangers?
A big hearted & compassionate woman.
Attractive looks, moderate good enough, but striking personality will outclass a centerfold model any day.
Wealth - ability to generate a modern income (for herself) is adequate.

Yes I think that most very goodlooking women tend to be air heads
As for people who don't post a pic at all, I just bypass them, for some reason I get the feeling they have something to hide.

I would like to go with #2 because for me physical attraction is important, BUT, keep in mind, a lot of people post fake pictures so you really can't go off that really. #3 Is also very important so I'm not sure which to vote for!

I'm glad to see that no nobody so far has gone for number one
As you know by my blog that I agree with you about number two
I think I understand now why women/men don't have pictures on their profiles
Women who don't have pictures on their profiles maybe very goodlooking and want men to read their profile instead of just looking at the pictures,men without pictures on their profile may not be the best looking blokes but are good in other ways so they want the chance to get to know the woman before they face up.
As you just said! how do we know if the pictures are real anyway so as long as I get on with someone it does not matter to me one bit either way

Houston, to answer your question when I'll have a glance at someone's profile, I see the photos first. I am not looking for a outmost handsome-ness, average is okay. But if I get to read in his profile and seems nothing interesting in there, I'm off.
I did communicate to some persons having no profile pic because I found their profile interesting. And thought "why not", maybe they will eventually show their faces (but did not happen anyways). So, now no photos no reply.
I do interact mainly with the wonderful people I met here in the blogs. And what I like about them are their sense of humor and wit.
Then I looked for sense of humour.......Then I looked for good looks....Then I looked for guys with all their own teeth........
Take everyone on board, every one has weaknesses and strengths that appeal in different ways to us in accordance to our own emotional needs. Too hard to be selective from a profile, I go for men who can spell.............but my husband who was a gorgeous and perfect man for me, until he died, could not spell to save himself. He was French after all. But i realise you can never tell . Best be open minded, we can't be too fussy at our age either, i am beginning to realise. So anyone with a pulse is welcome in my life. saskia
