Mimi, I think that's the bottom line. No one wants to admit the importance of physyical attraction. We all want to be a bigger person and say "it doesn't matter to me", when in fact it does.
I know there are stories of people are great friends before any type of relationship develops, but I am sure the majority of the time people meet because of a physical first impression.
I'm not saying one is better than the other. I am just willing to admit, that I jump right over the pictureless profiles. If I see a pic of someone I find attractive, I will read the profile that goes with it.
Spark, chemistry, call it what you will, but face to face, whatever it is that draws two people together begins with a physcial attraction.
The difference with the Internet is that we have to forego that initial judgement because even with pictures, we don't know if they are the real thing.
I totally agree with the physical connection side. If it's not there for me then I don't want to go any further. The thing is, no matter what you look like, there is someone for everyone. So why not post the pic, and let the flowers come in!
I wish some men would reply.
There are alot of male profiles without pics. I havent' browsed the female profiles to see if there are as many without pics.
This online dating thing allows us to be very specific is out criteria for the "perfect match", why wouldn't looks be included in that?
Why are there so many people on here without pictures posted? I decided this morning that I would give these people the benefit of the doubt and read a few profiles. Some of them sound nice and all, but my interest level just bottoms out. Is it me? Am I shallow?
I've only experience this once, but I know I loved him because when I was missing him, my heart literally ached. I had a tightness in my chest that wouldn't go away. Not unbearable, but a constant reminder that a piece was missing.
