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.

What's the difference with real life? Do you go around town 'blaming' other people they don't see you for who you really are as well? It's not so different, you know. Most of the people you see in daily life, don't raise your interest, same on the net.
People seem to think that once on the net everyone should look further than a first glance. But we don't do that in real life either?!
Just like in RL there's a small percentage of people that will have a second look, based on whatever. Can be your eyes, smile, clothes, anything really.
It's not that on a dating-site everyone is interested in everyone else because on dating-sites ppl are single. I don't get why people always forget that bit (the similarities with RL). In many cases you may even have a higher chance of getting noticed online than you would in RL.

Sadly when people have the opportunity to choose between hundreds of people you have to "sort" the people you respond to by rather arbitrary standards. Drawn to physical appearance, clothing, screen name. Is it always fair? No not really but who said life is fair?

People who choose to be out of the mainstream of what people generally pick sadly limit their chances.

I agree. However, the appearance of having "hundreds of people" to choose from is much more illusion than reality -- which lends a fantasy land or candy store aspect to this venue.

Distance, geographically or personally, is often a deal-killer no matter how appealing a person might be.

Oh well, at least they do usually click on my profile. I feel strangely better about it if they're not rejecting me because of the way that I look.

"Do people judge us by the photo's we post?" It's been said, that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Online is no different than real life ~~A person's visual appearance and presentation is the first thing we notice when we see someone, in real life or on the internet, the only difference is online we are able to view their pictures without getting caught, staring, which is considered rude. Our first impression usually leaves a lasting impression. There is little difference between the real world and the internet when it comes to reaching a conclusion as to whether we will connect with another person. No matter how appealing someone might be online, the real deal-breaker is demographic, distance and then their interest, personally and character becomes a determining factor. Whether, it is in real life or on the internet I am drawn to persons with similar interest.

Birds of a feather flock together... some truth to that for our personal relationships.

People hate, are indifferent, like, adore, love me.

I'd bet most everyone else here can admit the same as typed above.

I don't care what people think about me.

I learned, a long time ago. Don't own what ain't yours. Others thoughts are theirs. They choose to project their thoughts, verbally, to me, if it's true, it may sting. If it's not, it just rolls off.

I am a fisherman. 90% of the time I throw out the line, I come back with an empty hook. I don't cry, I put on more bait and cast again.

Rejection is part of life. Can't handle it, go ball up in a closet til my buddy Death comes and takes ya home.
