Online Sites - When women become self-conscious?

[irc333]

But I'm not looking for men who select mates primarily on looks

A lot men don't, but they do want to ensure you'd don't weight the size of a dump truck or have all your teeth. LOL

 

Of course, you couldn't use this selection process in real life though, it wouldn't work, because men will see you, think "Hey, she's cute, I think I'll go over and say hi"

 

Well, he just went off physical attraction, but he wanted to make sure you had a personality that matched.

 

It's kind of funny, because a lot of women online put a good paragraph in their profile saying something like this,"

 

"I don't mean to come off as rude, but I have to be physically attracted to someone to correspond with them, I mean I like a great personality, too, but I have to be attracted to want to get to know someone"

 

Or some kind of statement or disclaimer by women in their profiles, I see it constantly. lol

 

 

Tons of statements by women, "NO PIC, NO RESPONSE!"

 

Of course, I never get responses from women who SAY this, so it's moot. lol

 

Every time I spoke to a guy that had no photo up he turned out to be married or just weird. Why would a man restrict his dating pool by not having photos up? The idea that some of those are princes is ridiculous

Agreed, that's the 90's way of internet dating. LOL Before scanners and digital cameras, you were stuck in an awkward conversation with a woman with her trying to describe herself, she'd give everything but her weight....gosh forbid if you asked how much she weighed. LOL

 

I always make sure it's not just head shots either, but a shot from like the waistline up at least.

and the reason I stopped online dating.

 

Well, then if you do that, you can't weed anyone out based on the fact that they were physically attracted to you.

 

In real life, that's pretty much why men approach you, either at a bookstore, out and about, wherever in public

 

They t hink "Hey, she's cute, I'll go over and introduce myself"

 

Of course, they're probably looking for beyond cute after that, the physical attraction is the easy part.
