Didn't you say, "with just the pic?" OT: No, it's not possible for me. I don't think it can happen for anybody. Attraction, lust, and obsession, yes, I'm sure. Real love? Not so much. Then again people have widely varying views on the nature of true love.

spl123: I found myself in the same position about just over a week ago. I was totally smitten. He is High IQ, and gorgeous. Needs lots of maintenance.
I subsequently found his personality obnoxious, and demanding, and he has No respect for women! They only have one purpose, to keep him satisfied.
I can imagine that conversation, selfish, IQ doesn't mean anything! These kind of men take care of themselves only! No human value at all!I subsequently found his personality obnoxious, and demanding, and he has No respect for women! They only have one purpose, to keep him satisfied.

By falling in love you mean infatuation.I subsequently found his personality obnoxious, and demanding, and he has No respect for women! They only have one purpose, to keep him satisfied.
Sure you can do that. It is a natural mechanism meant to bring two people together initially. Doesn't mean they can live in love--the other kind, that has something in common with the love of children and of parents.
Sounds like you didn't believe he needed to meet the qualifications for a friend first.

That's wilful self delusion ... which, fortunately for you, you snapped your self out of !

That is why movie stars get followers. One can be intrigued by looks. Unfortunately looks is also why someone will go for a jerk who appeals to them and ignores someone they deem icky looking.
I fell for my guy writing back and forth. Only pic he sent was he and his identical brother when they were 5 or so.
I liked how he communicated. He was real and told me about himself. The more we "talked" the more we had in common. Finally I asked for a photo. And was floored when he sent it. "This is what I have been talking to for 3 months!" What a looker!! WOWZA WOW!
It got to the point I really want to meet him and he finally came for a visit.
Did I fall for a photo? Yes and no. At that point I might have been not so pleased if he wasn't handsome. But, his heart and soul had won me over.
When my late husband got to be an invalid I told him, I married a heart, mind and soul, not a body. The body is just the carrier. I realized I didn't like to look at current photos of him. In them I saw the sick, old man he was. Looking at him for real, I only saw the man he had been, that I still loved.
Photos lie. Look at them like a painting. Check the back to see if real or fakes.

Almost the entire online dating scam industry functions on the premise that enough people will fall into deep infatuation with just a pretty photo.
60 Minutes Australia did a story about them a couple of years back. These guys, they are mainly guys although there are some women also, spend most of their day in Internet Cafe's creating profiles and chatting online to anyone who bites, male or female.
The vast majority actually consider their self to be "dating intermediaries" and those they speak with online they refer to as "clients".
From a couple of comments I read, it appeared to me that even if the recipient was not blindly infatuated they did completely accept the other person as genuine, honestly single, and searching. The rest of online dating scam industry functions on that premise.
If the one you spoke to was "obnoxious, and demanding, and he has No respect for women" he probably wasn't a scammer. Scammers go out of their way to tell you what you want to hear. And some are extremely good at what they do..

In my opinion, no a picture online would not make me fall for a man. I prefer to see body language and get to know them for some time before I try to decide if the person is full of chit or not. It's notI subsequently found his personality obnoxious, and demanding, and he has No respect for women! They only have one purpose, to keep him satisfied.
an easy thing how to determine lies or truth but it's worth a try. A lot of times people are untruthful of their real appearances online and who they "really" are in real life. People post pics that aren't even who they really are. Lucky for you, that didn't happen. Sometimes it's hard to trust people online just like in the real world. On CS, there are some very genuine people and sometimes, well, FAKE NEWS!
Best wishes

That was Anne of Cleves of Germany whom he married trying to form a political alliance with her brother William. They were divorced but she stayed in England financially supported by Henry.

Of course some people cannot realise this and they are the same people whi fail in any love situation.

That initial attraction, has nothing to do with friendship, which only develops over time! For me there must be a physical and intellectual attraction at first glance, so a pic is just fine, and then exchange a few words. Enough for me to make a decision, yes/no!Sure you can do that.
