I have a strong feeling that most people on dating sites take one look at a photo and think they can tell a whole lot about you based on it. Enough so that they think that what they think your about is correct. It may not be and they may never know because they won't click on your profile. I can see if your not clicking because i'm not the kind of guy appearance wise, but I feel that people judge you more on what they think they see of me in that photo. That can cost you because I may have the appearance body wise your looking for, but you may say I hate that style of cloth and then think i'm someone that i'm not. All in all there is a lot more to a person that there picture and not looking beyond that could cost you a bad relationship if you go out with someone based on photo alone or more so on photo than what they wrote about them.

I still get hit on even though my pic is a cartoon

I get treated as a sex object because of my pic.

For sure... everyone calls me bunny n rabbit bcoz of my pic

Who wouldn't tap dat?

Only you tutu

I think people presume that an individual will CHOOSE photos that are representative of them : their interests, their style, their activities, etc,,,,

but who people 'are' is much more complex than just their interests

so, yes I Think what pictures a person chooses can tell you a lot about a person, can be an introduction in itself

but no, it doesn't say who we 'are'

Why do people hit you?? Ur pic is cartoon naa!! People should laugh

Since the internet is a visual medium, there's not much you can do to avoid being judged on what you look like, that's basically all a person has to go on before getting to know you. If you don't want to be judged on your appearance, don't post a photo, then you will be judged for not having one, by those who are concerned about such things.

I post my pics because I want people to look at them, if they judge me, whatever....not my problem.

When it comes to the social "net"working, it's all about visual....How peeps handle their visual image says a lot about them and, other than making your presence known on the boards and through email, there is not a whole hell of a lot you can do about it.....

Why can I do a lot???

Limited dimensions ....

Making assumptions based on a photo is lame!!!! And in some cases, it is not based on reality anyway.

I truly believe that, given enough time and enough access to the written word, you can see through the veil and get the measure of the person inside.

Of course there will always be some people who are all BS and some who live in a fantasy world, but in general, time and exposure tells the tale.

It is lame, but that does not change the reality of it....As for me, I cannot be 100% until I meet the person ...But see through the veil?... Definitely...Like most things in life, internet dating is filled with pros and cons...

But it is a sexy cartoon.

Absofreakinglutely..you think an 18 year old REALLY
sees it working out with us?

I hope not, they may want a wall building

Yep and they kiss your little angry bunny nose!!! Lol!

"Do you think people judge who you are based on your photo?"

I hope so. I want the women here to know that they can enjoy my Melmacian awesomeness.
