One2note: Humans are visual creatures, like it or not .. If you're willing to travel to , what can only be described as a blind date, so be it , but I won't be taking that risk.
It's hardly a blind date, if you consider the hours spent in communicating.

But ,we are all different, and luckily there are more good than bad in life.

Good Luck to you John, i'm sure you will find her eventually.

mollybaby: One2, I think your main problem is possibly that you are not a good judge of character.
That you can't 'read' them well.
But Skype probably doesn't really help you there.
I beg to differ Molly .. I'm a great judge of character, which is why I ask to Skype , purely for the reason that when things don't add up , or I have doubts , I think skyping is the only solution.
If the facility is there , why not use it & im a firm believer that a face says more that words could ever say .

I hear what your saying about visual, but a couple of thoughts go through my head... What of a blind person, what would their criteria be?, voice, scent, touch, intellect?... I suggest many are drawn by different engines of desire...
And the oft mentioned 'looks fade'... Inner beauty, in any way you care to name it, never fades, if I get back into a relationship at any point, I know what's going to be my first priority....

I'm glad for you that you are

If i like them, I meet them rather than Skype.
Skype just seems neither here nor there to me.

It's not all about looks .
The facial expressions, the eyes that never lie, the smile . You can get more information from those characteristics than you can from mailing , weeks & months on end .

One2note: Why do people still refuse to Skype, FaceTime, or another video call, or a simple phone chat & insist on texting or emailing??
Are they just shy , or are they hiding something ?
No! I don’t invite strangers into my home on Skype or FaceTime!
And I have no desire to see rhem in their dens!
Anyways, men are visual creatures they like to see where women are auditory creatures, we love to hear... especially nice things laugh

The 'risk' only depends on your expectations.

Most people exchange pics when they get to know each other.

Although myself and my ex totally forgot to do that. We only realised it when we went to meet each other. It didn't make any difference in the long run.

My point being , that mrs C is not willing to Skype in her own environment, because of an invasion of privacy, but would be willing to meet that person on the trust of a dating profile.

So if there was no problem with trust , why would it be an invasion of you privacy , if you skyped .
I really don't get it confused

It is about attraction to another being and that is very difficult to define!

Yup, in a none private setting aka public and nope, not on the dating profile but on the conversations had

Would you take that risk again... and I use the phrase "risk" loosely , if that person live abroad?
