iiiii Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I don't use OLD, but if I did, I think I'd likely only accept dates from guys who looked reasonably attractive in their pictures. Sounds like I'm the odd one out here. But if the idea is to find someone to have a romantic relationship with, if you look at someone's picture and think "no way!" then what's the point of meeting them? And presumably guys would only message me in the first place if they thought I looked reasonably attractive in my picture? So it goes both ways. I don't think it's a bad thing to admit that we choose our partners partly because we find them physically attractive. 1
PinkInTheLimo Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 MissBee is right. A man whose message conveys a certain thoughtfulness will have it easy to convince a woman to meet him in person, even though she might not like this pics a lot. I will never solely base myself on someone's pictures (unless the guy posts pics of his bare chest). It's a total package and if I have the feeling that the guy is decent, smart and intelligent, I will meet him. A lot of people don't really look good on pictures but good in real life. Better this way than the other way round. Just for clarification: if the guy posts a picture of his bare chest, I do not want to meet him in person! (too scared that he might show up dressed like Tarzan )

There is a big difference between seeing someone's pic and thinking "No way" and feeling lukewarm when seeing someone's pic. There are not too many profiles with "No way" pictures. What is also important for me is the height-weight ratio. If that one is unhealthy I am also less interested in meeting the guy in person.
