So, to what degree does attraction play a role in how you communicate with people? People will say 'its what inside that counts' and yeah, this is true I guess, once you get beyond the physical. But, you're almost made feel bad for saying that you dont find someone attractive or good looking or, *giant spagetti monster in the sky* forbid you decided not to chat with someone because you didnt find them attractive (each to their own etc, we all have our different opinions on what we personally find 'attractive')
Is there anyone here who can honestly say they havent declined a message from someone they didnt find attractive?!
I know, the poll questions dont even begin to cover all scenarios, but, it the basics.

For me, attraction is not the deciding factor on if I chat to someone but it does have a bearing on how I talk to them. For me, it's more the effort someone has gone to (or not) that is the deciding factor for me as to whether or not I'll continue to chat to them. I wouldn't not reply to a message based alone on the fact that I didn't fancy them.
Green_Sleeves: Its your perogative who you do or dont reply to!
I used to think it really rude not to reply to a mail (plenty didn't reply to me) but when you put in your profile "no pic, no reply" or something similar, it just proves the point that a lot of people don't read the profiles

Believe me, as I stated in another thread earlier in the week, very very few people if they aint interested will reply to tell you.
I've wrote to many a profile that had no pic up and got on grand, in fact, I've had more success with 'pictureless' profiles then those whom had pics. People want to chat to good looking people or people they find attractive! Go to the fishy site, you'll see this first hand, no matter how interesting you might seem, if you aint got the looks then the ladies dont wanna know

Jesus Liam!! You trying to sign your own death warrant?!!! You better retract that statement quick! Dont you know theres no such thing as an 'unattractive person' but instead, someone whom 'you are not attracted to'.

i think there has to be an element of physical attraction there or it wont last but at the same time looks fade, personality stays. id like to think im not shallow but at the same time someones looks do play a part in me replying to them, no point in wasting both our times at the end of the day.
no offence to the men as im sure women do it too but iv had plenty of replies saying "no, youre ugly" or "wouldnt be seen dead with you" but sure its all part of internet dating. theres so much more choice on here and other sites that both men and women can be more fussy than they would be in a pub/club.
totally get what you mean about the fishy site though, it happens in the reverse for us on there

ok then an unattractive person from my point of view
If I receive either a flower, mail or card, I always reply regardless.
In the first instance does it really matter if a pic is posted or the profile not quite what you are seeking... it is after all just a first contact.
My experience is that making judgement of a person on a pic alone can lead to missed opportunities. I have had successful results with women even though the pic of that person was not overly flattering
Glengirl: When I first joined, I chatted to everyone.After a few months, I cut that down to if they were attractive AND/OR interesting, I'd chat to them.Now, I reply to very few new mails (it's in my profile) unless it is a very good first mail
