CossackCat: Only if there are trolls, paid shills, alter personalities, and romance scammers and green card hunters ... in RL
Follow your instincts. And remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn't true. Good luck to you.
Yup, that's all good, but the question was about image and looks. Online the first impression is a photo. In RL it's the same, plus the body, voice, movement, behaviour.

I understood you. I just didn't comment to it, because I disagree with you and you are (supposedly) new here.

Pleazzzzzzzz pictures can be most deceiving. It about looks well, of course, the eye wants something too
In other words, is online dating just like dating in RL?
Apart from what you say you are there's less to go on online - one reason it's good for scamming. And if a picture is worth a thousand words then it is worth a million internet words. Looks is one exaggerated by the tunnel vision take on a person you get online. The aura, the presence and behaving in the moment.. all the things lacking online make a nice photo even more important.
