Why are you all so defensive? I never made any assumptions, from anyone else on this forum. I simply said from my experience, and the people I know of on dating sites it is there experience also!

Oh and sometimes you find the needle in the haystack on these sites.... I have.
And yes people are visual creatures and yes, looks do play a role in checking out a profile but you do the same thing in real life too. You don't go walking around talking to any/everyone you see. You take a minute, look the person over and then initiate conversation. So dating sites really aren't much different. |

My experience on dating sites so far is that most people just picture surf, if the picture is liked, contact may be made, if not it won't end off! It's a bit like going to a book shop and just looking at all the covers, not reading the appendix in the book, just picking the book totally by it's cover! I think that's the big problem with internet dating compared to meeting someone in person, ie socially, work, chance meeting in a supermarket etc, you can have a chat in person, it's totally about the person then, not a picture! I prefer the person to person interaction right away but am leaving my options open. My prince may not be in Colorado. |

Oh and sometimes you find the needle in the haystack on these sites.... I have. That's one thing that keeps me trying here. You have proven that it can be done! So why not once again....?  ....although very few needles are 897,000 miles long....!! |

Come on dating sites are totally different.
you can tell a hell of allot face to face in person, body language etc,simple communication, unless your psychic I don't think you can get that from a picture!? by the way if you found your needle in a haystack why are you still on a dating site? |

I am still here because I have made some of the greatest friends I have,on here. This is a social site too not just a dating site.
I looked at TheCaptain's picture and his profile, read his posts on the forums and we started emailing...talking on yahoo, cell and skype. It can work if you want to give it a try. |

How can you say it has worked? you e-mail, you Skype? you are not in a relationship!
when you are in a relationship with someone from a dating site then you can say it has worked! not just messaging, or Skyping, or a few meetings, Surely the serious people on dating sites are looking for a loving and hopefully lasting relationship, or I missing the point here? |

It's simple really don't judges people on what they look like, ie Pictures on dating sites. If people aren't suppose to judge people by the pictures then why do dating sites have pictures? If men don't judge by looks then why did I put on lipstick this morning? I judge people by their looks first because their personality, their attitude, their inner soul, their heart, and their true self, doesn't show on their profile. I date guys that look hot. When mister perfect "inner self" comes along then I hope he's combed his hair and washed his clothes or he isn't getting my attention. |

How can I say it worked?? Because he came to my job with three dozen roses, got down on one knee in front of 200 of my coworkers and proposed....that's how I can say it worked. |

I am sorry to hear that, you say you put Lipstick on for Men?
So you are saying you just totally go by looks, and hopefully with luck, a decent one will come along eventually some day? is that what you are saying??? That is total madness! and by the way I never said they are supposed to do anything ie concerning pictures etc. it's totally upto the individual if they just go by pictures, just not my choice! |

I agree Joe. We need to learn to look beyond a photo, but there are some on here who have pretty superficial motives I think those who are seriously looking for a partner pretty well do look beyond the photo (but a cute bum on a man is still great )

That is true on the few i have seen. Many may not have the true picture, or it may be like obsolete picture of ten years ago. Oh the world of the internet is strewn with fragility.
