for a good relationship, it takes more than a pretty face. They have to be attractive on the inside too. But physical attract (especially online) is a start...IMO


Unfortunetly dating has gone to cyber space and internet. Seemed easier when I was younger.

Now we sit behind computers, look at pics, read profiles, decide who we are going to pick and choose. People seem to choose and pick based on profile pics.

Still believe in real life meeting.




It was easier when we were younger..we were young. It's a young society. I agree, I prefer real life also.
I think you have nice pictures and your very pretty...



Thanks for the compliment. :) Not why I brought this up. Just things for people to think about.

Maybe real life is like you said, but at least you get to see and be with the person rather than looking at computer screens.


Online and real life are no different, just depends on the people involved...and just like in real life you will run into people that don't want to work on anything and rather have it fall right in front of them so they can take it then and there.

Either way, you still get to see the person if you want too...but that is your choice, not anyone else's choice.

What do people think about "if the profile pic turns me off- then I'm not responding." Fast judgments are made? Yes

What if the person doesn't have access to a good camera? Do people judge by pics first? MostlyI'm guessing the answer will be "yes" . Pics first.

Probably the next thing people look at is the age?Not necessarily Then possibly location is looked at?This is usually second If people go this far then the profile might be skimmed? Unless it is a novella, I will read the whole thing next.

I agree there is a tolerance level. Meaning looks too fat or skinny. Face may not be handsome or pretty. But are people loosing out or not giving someone a chance? What about what's inside? That's a big part of picture, but there DOES need to be initial physical attraction. Sorry, that's life.

I believe meeting in real life is the only way to know if either side is interested. I'm not sure interested is the correct word. I would not be meeting someone if I was not interested. Maybe sparks or chemistry? Pics can be deceiving whether good or bad. This is a global internet constant

What's your opinion?

I have to get some dinner now. Sorry if I don't keep posting.

Appreciate others thoughts. Thought about this today and wondered what others think about it. I'll try to get back later.

Let's give a 'real life' example. Let's say a friend of yours is trying to set you up with someone. I am willing to bet, the first thing 99% of the population is going to ask is, "well, what do they look like?" If the first thing out of your friends mouth is, "Oh, she's got a great personality" or "He's a really nice guy." What are you gonna think?
