Do you ever respond to people you meet online that you are not physically attracted to?

[msc545]

I do this just to be nice to them and it sometimes results in an interesting conversation. It is a good way to meet people that you will have no romantic involvement with but might be friends with. Do you think people ever do this with you too?

Yes I sometimes do this.

I never do this and never would. I only respond to people I am attracted to.

[PeachyPie93]

Sometimes but not often because most people who hit you up online when you are a female it is just sexual. Rarely ever when a guy wants to talk to you is it ever innocent friendship. Tho if they hit me up in normal conversations in comments and stuff I do talk to them even if I have no idea how they they look because I do like talking with people I just don't like DMs.

[rienna888]

Yes I do, I try to talk to them because some people look better in person and also because I want to give love a chance, even without the physical attraction from the start

[ManOnFire]

All the time. I don't look at people as being worthy or not of speaking to just because of the way they look. Whether I'm attracted to them or not. People are people to me, and if someone has something to say or ask me, I'm generally not going to ignore them based on looks. It will be because they're either a troll or only say "Hi."

[BoopBoopBeep]

I did back in the day when I met online. I don't have the time for it now between my job and rescue kittens. I meet so many people offline, they always take priority to someone who is online only.

Not EVERY correspondence is about feeling attracted to someone. Some correspondence is just practical.

[NathanDavis]

I do talk to people online, yes...

but physical attraction is not the parameter... there's people who I've been talking to for few years, and I've never seen how they look like

many of them are men too, and I certainly am not physically attracted to men, lmao

[RingOfFire]

Yes I've done that and had the same experience you do. Sometimes it can lead to an interesting conversation.

But when I do that I also worry that she's going to get the wrong idea. I hate being in that situation. So it's a difficult decision sometimes. Largely depends on my mood at the time I get the message and what the message says.

What? Do they not teach youth to be sociable? All **stranger danger**

This Q blows my mind. I talk with anyone respectful, my mum was like that. Leave people with a smile. Learned from the best.

[alice55]

I respond to everyone i would say that 99 % do not result in a conversation anyway so might as well respond to everyone maybe I will find a new friend and have interesting conversation

[LiamJHayden]

Yes, I do. In fact in many if not most cases the "less attractive" people have developed far better personalities and have interests beyond celebrity gossip, so I actually prefer them in general.

[Anonymous]

Well yeah obviously. I don’t want to just ignore people. Sometimes though you get too many conversations going and toh can’t keep up. Then people start getting mad.

[exitseven]

I respond to lots of people I am not attracted to/.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

99% of the online people I'm chatting with, online, don't show any picture of themselves, soooo, if I didn't respond to them, I would be caught in my inner monologue. Not fun.

[serious]

Yes I do, I still treat them with normal level of respect.

[Anonymous]

It wouldn't matter about their looks to me

[Anonymous]

Of course. It's not required to be attracted to someone just to speak to them.

[Anonymous]

If physical attraction is at the front lines, I’m stepping away. There needs to be more than that.

[Ladsin2]

I swipe on all the ladies, and only talk to the ones I have an attraction to. Gotta cast a wide net.

[Iron_Man]

Well, of course I don’t ignore anyone

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes… I like talking in general

[Xawyx]

Sometimes, as a friend of course.

[Crazzyyworld]

Yes they are interesting to hear from.

[RedInnocent69]

Sure. It’s about the conversation, not catfishing.

[Anonymous]

Yeah. I'm not attracted to anyone online.

[smurfwrangler]

sometimes

[OddBeMe]

We chat don’t we?

[msc545]

There is that.
