All attraction *starts* physically. On the internet, on the street, or at work. That is simply how it is *Shrug*

i agree men n women look at the cover then read the book n if they like both then its great . ON the flip side though no man realy wants to read the book they just want one thing n thats it .Yer women can be the same.Thats y i fail i look at the cover n then open the book n want to read it but can,t cause u men just one thing, We r all human though but y be fake .

Hi Jenny
That is total rubbish, I, and I know lot's of men who are not just after one thing. I am sorry if you may have met some men like that. But please don't put all us Men in that category! because you are totally wrong with that assumption.

Whoa, Jenny, with all due respect, if you really think that men are this way, why are you on a dating site?

I must disagree with you: I have met many men who wanted more than just "one" thing, regardless of what that "thing" might be.

Really .... lol .... that is the most over used generalization made by bitter disappointed women ....

I have never in my life just wanted one thing ... unless i'm focused on a job or game and then that one thing is to complete the job or win the game.
The rest of the time I want everything that could possibly benefit the world I live in.

As for picture surfing .... well .... honestly ... most of the time that is what we do in real life too .... we look around parties and bars and clubs and subways and stores and surf the image that our eyes see. If someone exceptionally attracts us ... we may or may not act on it ... depending on our mood or analysis of the situation. In the case of the dating site ... that comes from reading the profile.

good luck in all thoses generalizations ... people.

we are what we are
and
do what we can

Thorb you are right in what you say,
but at least in real life ie Parties work, social events, you can tell from body language, and real conversation face to face etc. all you have to go on is a picture on a dating site, then possibly there profile!
I am not saying it is impossible to meet the one on a dating site! all I am saying it's a hell of a lot harder, than in a real life situation!
As there are so many advantages in a real life scenario, chemistry, body language, communication everything really.

Yeah,most people judge, based on profile pics and all that, without really getting to know the person. It's just texting for cry out loud..(not like they'll eat you up)..The thing is, you're not obligated to chat with anyone but it's worth a trial.Along your conversation, you can get to understand a little more about that person before you take action...If i had judge the movie "the travellers" by it's cover, i never would have found out how interesting and mature it is......just give people a shot, and you'll be surprised......peace....@all

Hey tennyson
I totally agree with you, that's why I started this post, I think you are the only person who understands what I meant!
If you read the replies I got you will know were I am coming from
People actually said they go by book covers!? weird.

It's the person that matters not the shell outside..

Peace!

Keep on Keeping on

just saw you here and said hi there:))))))))) asmiling lolll hey thats in a nice way now

This is indeed true. But I have to want to kiss what's on the outside as well...

Well if you go to a store and buy food you look at it first and choose right? but it could still taiste bad lolll ,,,,,, but i think ladys like a bit of both looks and personality i mean my self if a lady is normal she don't got to look really beautiful but the inside of her heart has to be beautiful in my book ... but thats why they have pictures here too to see if theres a bit of attraction too on looks .. but remember people are not books lolll but ,,,,you know you can get to know a person the same way online as in a supermarket you can type exchange numbers and cam and see how their personality is or sounds like lollll i think you look into this to much and worry to much my friend i say if a person don't accept you for you then they not worth the bother:) cause everyone changes as they grow older but the heart will always most of the time remain the same if you get true love so don't worry cheers keep your head up and shoulders back and be happy:) and if you do find any sweet extra ladys send them my way haha lollllllll cheers:)

Books have a cover for a reason, and generally speaking...books with covers tend to sell better than those without. And, just like a great book...it doesn't necessarily mean that I will like it.

That and usually these topics are started by future serial killers, I'm on to you.

Cool @joeB

Lol
You Kidding me or what?
1st maybe if the book has a nice cover, you still have to read the thing in the first place. Der

and 2nd as for people who start posts like this are future serial Killers, very childish and stupid.
and if you are talking about Books with covers, judging from your picture you really look like the stereotypical serial Killer!

So don't come out with stupid and childish comments please!

A pic is what catches my eye in the first place. That would make me go and read thier profile. IF thier pic and profile interests me, then I would make contact. Speaking soley for myself here, I have the impression that no pic is indicative of something to hide Eg: married or whatever. I just feel that hey! Im putting it out there, how can I have respect for someone without the cajones to do the same? My policy is...no pic, no play. JMO but it works for me.

He is one...I mean, he does?

Exactly!

Im really the guy in the background.

I feel the same way. I'm sure that some think they have a good reason for not having a picture. However, I share pictures in my profile, so I expect anyone I even consider meeting to do the same. If they cannot do that, I am not interested.
