Personally I think that you are just saying what you think others would want to read instead of what is true.

I find it very hard to believe that you or anyone would read a profile of someone that they are not in some way or another attracted to. A deeper attraction can and usually happens when one gets to know someone... but still have to be something there when it comes to these sites. Pic is always the first impression because that is all there is.

I'm sure you're going to stand firm, so we'll just agree to disagree

Twingles I have been here for a long time,and I NEVER say anything for the eyes of others,just ask around.


In sending a flower,sure have viewed some as strickly eye candy,but in sending e-mail,I have more to say to them then what I have only seen.

Believe it or not,your right,we shall agree to disagree,and this is fine with me.wave

Honestly...

We all have our own preferences in someone, physical and personality wise. I don't like to judge and try my hardest not to until I take the time to get to know someone but if I am not physicaly attracted to the person normaly it will not work. Does not mean they are not good people or anything. Just that I am a very physical person and it is somewhat important to me in a relationship. If there is no physical attraction there might as well not be any relationship.

I have been in contact with many without a pic of them. So dosen't matter pic or no pic (although I like to have a pic of them). But they are real nice to talk to through the e-mails on here.
And I have to say "yes" (I do as for judge wise)some of the pics look like they might be moody type's because they have this look like you just don't know how they will react (like a stern or miserable look) so because of that sometimes I am leary to contact them. But other than that its all cool. But I have talked to many regardless. peace peace peace

If I would look through the profiles and see someone I am NOT atracted to, I would not contact him.

i have veiwed profiles with and with out pics. some were based on what the pic looked like and some were based on what was said in the profile. many i have tried to make contact with such as flirts or requests to chat but few have replied. so im thinking that it is by pic first and profile second. just my opinion and observation.

Twingles....

Ok, here is my case in point re my Thread; i have contacted some very nice ladies on here, and have recently received a, "Sorry, you dont impress me.." Why do women do that? If i were young and hot, do you think women would care "what" i looked like?? I guess what i'm saying is that 'all' females on here want to be wowed right off the bat and then try to change the guy into what "they" want. Am i babbling...?frustrated

yep.....sorry.....but I do look at the photo first...no doubt I read profiles with no pics.....but yes, there has to be a visual spark there in order for me to want to take the initial pc connection to a conversation or even to see him.......I'm a bad girl, what else can I tell ya!??innocent

Well I believe that "judging" is perhaps the wrong word to use .... its more like decide if there is any attraction initially ... and after that read their profile to gauge further interest and decide if I want to pursue it any further.

As well if a man doesn't do the same thing .... OMG - what a crock of crap to deny it. Get real because that's basically the first comment that someone says to me is related to their attraction to me. Rarely is it with respect to my profile.

I know, it's more flattering to me if someone compliments me on something I've said, rather than what I look like.
