everyone has preferences in what they like and are attracted to. I don't see this as necessarily shallow and generalizations aren't a good idea IMO

*edit* example:
not all guys are...
not all women are....

Be interesting to see if the color photo being scanned in black and white would get the same response as the au natural photo? I have to think that it just being a black and white photo would reduce the interest. Maybe people seeing it as and out of date photo or depressing because it is dark.

I have seen when disabled people go in for a job interview in a chrome chair in cloths that are dark or don't work well with setting down with minimal make up get vastly different responses than people who go in a sporty metal flake chair with up beat colors and makeup. Upbeat color suggests preparation, self esteem, and a positive attitude, and good health.

While some use it as a ufamism for skinney I repeatedly see guys say they want a woman who makes and effort to keep herself up. Makeup and dressing well reflects and effort even when it is done "badly".

am conducting a 'social experiment' if you will on another site after becoming incredibly suspicious that yes men just look at the pictures and no further....

the profile i have seems to be getting plenty of hits and have had lots of contact...then it came to the photos....

i have a choice of several photos - one taken at the end of a six year old birthday party after a week of working fourteen hour days - it is in black and white and i am wearing absolutely zip makeup - the photo i think is quite ok for an 'a la naturale' look and shouldnt scare anyone away

the second photo is of course in colour - and i am wearing makeup - you can tell it is the same person but this is quite an attractive photo...

the experiment?

i alternate btw sending the black and white photo and the colour one

no prizes for guessing which one gets the most responses

what amuses me no end though is that all these men absolutely insist that 'looks' are not 'that important'....it is a brain they are looking for - someone with a sense of humour, an intelligent mind, who is caring and compassionate and who has their shite together

blah blah blah....

oh and btw - it doesnt matter if they are 'ugly' men or 'good looking' men (if you subscribe to an aesthetic point of view' - they all go for the pretty photo...

the next part of the experiment - i will make contact again with those that didnt respond to the plain photo by sending them the pretty one...

lets just wait and see if they respond to that...if they do...it proves me correct...you really are a shallow species...




Why are you going to all this trouble??
This is the internet and everything is visual, they cannot see/ hear, or touch your so called intelligence and sophistication you claim to have.
Try re-writing your profile.

When you're younger and in your "procreate" years it's natural to look for a mate with whom you would make good looking, healthy children. It's not necessarily in the front of your brain while looking but it's there. It's primal. Now, when you're 45ish and older the game changes quite a bit and you look for other qualities.

You know, usually I'm the one to side with logic, and by all means that is a mean set of logic...but even I have to say, I think you are taking it a wee bit too seriously.

A slanted experiment from the outset, will achieve slanted results.

When out to confirm a theory, one usually looks for conclusive evidence to substantiate the theory....

Your theory is that men are shallow......so are out to prove your theory correct.

I disagree with your methodology....and if you find your theory substantiated.....who are you going to date?

Women? huh

Is that a good thing? Or are you explaining in an apologetic way why I am who I am?
