Yes looks tend to matter with both genders, especially if the person has a lot of option or is attractive themselves. That's pretty obvious. Houses near the ocean or with a city view cost more too because people like nice looking things.
If it's a photo that's meh, I can put it down to the fact he might not take as good a photo as he looks. If his profile is awesome and we have loads in common I can look past a meh photo and wanna meet.
A man's pictures are the number 1 thing. Women when they look at pictures are window shopping to see what lifestyle you can give them and/or how hot you are.
TBH, online dating is probably the worst possible avenue you could take to meet women.
Men are a lot thirstier than women, and online dating removes all effort and location barriers. So women end up getting propositioned by pretty much every guy in the tri-state area who happens to be online.
This is why you shouldn't be on dating sites. You should be approaching girls in person, because girls in person are way different from girls online. And you actually get to have a comversation in person as well.
Bs almost every girl in real life hates being approached. They like the idea but the hate it when it happens.
@Dim_121 No i disagree you need to change your attitude because not every girl you'll approach in real life will be cruel and mean. Some of them are flattered when a guy approaches them, because they want guys to approach but some guys are too afraid to do so.
True but I'm already friends with most of those girls. Those are generally the shy ones who have never been asked out.
@Dim_121 asked them out then bro. Make them laugh and make them comfortable around you.
Nope can't do that. Women hate it when you do that. You would think that they would be flattered but they are not. They feel betrayed when a guy freind asks them out. I already lost enough female friends in highschool by asking them out.
@Dim_121 You're Generalizing every girl man. Trust me there are girls out there are flattered and nice when a guy approaches them. Just keep approaching and be confident and dress well.
na I'm just generalizing the 22 girls that I have approached. But yeah there are.
@Dim_121 Keep approaching don't give up.
Guys care about looks way more than woman do. Most woman will date anybody thats not ugly if he has a good personality but guys only go for the hot girls and then complain the girls don't value them.
True, but women care about career way more than men do. So it evens out.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! no wonder you hid you identity.
They do judge by profile pic that was obvious. There is no doubt about that, after all, Its the first thing they get to see in the profile.
Don't let the politically corrected high standard answers deceive you.

Don't make it about what GIRLS want. Like you guys care what a girl's heart and brains look like.
YES. IF the heart and mind aren't right, I don't care how good looking you are; you're untouchable!
Fuck that! Why would I want to spend my life with a brainless idiot, who can't hold a conversation for 2 secs without her brain hurting, and be cold hearted at the same time? I might as well date a piece of wood. At least I can make a fire with that.
@MrMysteryMan well the piece of wood has no pretty face and hot bod
A Chinese fake mate has a pretty face and hot bod. But it, as well as someone that has no conscious, or intelligence, or emotion or care or empathy or excitement or ambition or love, would be as useful a companion as a doll would be. They would be just, something (someone) to play with that will do whatever you want without giving you any challenge or substance to make you grow as someone with them, or to offer to the relationship and to make something out of it. That's not what I would consider a soulful companion. But, hey, each to their own. And please, we should all try not to generalize humans into sub-categories. Comments like that seem like they are from angry and hurtful places. Which we all should try and get ourselves out of.
@MrMysteryMan dude we're talking about picking people in dating sites here. In this context, all you see is the looks.
Upon reading what the person was MyTaking about, I agree with what he says about online dating. I would go as far as to suggest any type of dating is like this unless you do that dating in the dark shit or something. But, after the initial outward packaging, looses it's "magic" and looks fade, you better hope you are left with a personality and intelligence you can live with. When the girl has crusties in her eyes and bad breath in the morning, and wears ill fitting sweats, and she didn't get a chance to take a shower because of things coming up so she's not her freshest. Or she is in labour and not looking "her best" in any light. At the end of the day, women are humans who do what guys do. It took me a while to really accept this, as women are really beautiful overall and are really good at hiding their imperfections.
@MrMysteryMan I don't agree with the coordinator title. It's not JUST women who only pay attention to looks in the profile pictures on dating sites. Guys do that too. So let's not make this about a gender. Cause doing that would be just plain stupid. Both genders only look at looks on the profile pics before swiping left or right. Cry me a river. Men and women both are guilty of this
Sure... You are correct and I agree totally with you. However, these My Takes are a way of a person to vent or share their observation or view from their perspective of how things the see are. Also, further down the article, he does mention that he feels we all put way too much emphasis on the pictures (guys and girls). So he's not completely being chauvinistic. He's just explaining from a male's perspective, how he sees dating sites.
well duh... women are all about looks... but at the same time are lightning quick to call men out for being shallow... it's the BIG LIE... an unpopular viewpoint that white knights will attack you for and all women will condemn/badmouth you over.
Catfish experiment, Fred the shortish overweight, balding 55yo engineer vs Hans the 30 something Army engineering officer, both with same level of education, guess who gets the attention?
Everyone, both men and women, are drawn in by appearance but won't stay because of appearance.
Online or IRL, looks matter. No shit.
If you aren't attractive looking (top 10% of guys), I have bad news for you...
80/20 rule is now the 90/10 rule?
Yep. But it's definitely the same for men too, unless they are desperate and they have no standards.
It is the first thing you see that pulls you in
yeah it has a big effect
they both do (well some people)
Well done.
nice one
good point
