Why am I seen as more attractive in real life as opposed to online?

[Rab1901]

My dating success is much better in person.

I know there are multiple reasons but I am going to list what I think might be the top reasons.

Putting 5'9 (175 cm) makes a woman think you're actually too short

Dating apps are a business. It's just as bad for most guys of similar attractiveness

You're putting up bad pictures

Your character must be fantastic but not displayed well online

Women online just care more about physical appearance

Women online just care more about status

Women online just care more about money

It might be due to your body language, reaction feed, verbal responsiveness, posture, visible dynamism, upbeat inclination, or comical impetus, which you often cannot measure with photos. As well as the intonational variability of your vocal cords and the self composure and dispositional cooperativeness you vibrate through your social performance.

I'd say most people are more attractive in person, unless they happen to be someone who really knows how to present themselves in the context of social media or apps (or if they have traits that just sort of fall into the category of attractiveness that's easily displayed online). Lots of traits aren't easy to show digitally - even physical traits if you don't know how to take good photos. Some personalities are easier to connect with in person as well.
