I looked and can't find the study, but I remember reading an article saying that attractive men receive fewer messages than average men on dating sites. The article used attractiveness on a 0-5 scale with 2.5 being dead smack in the middle. Those that ranked 2.5 or right around it received more messages than those towards 0 and those towards 5. Those that were ranked at a 5 received more messages than those ranked 0, though oddly enough not by much.
Hmm... Well, although attractiveness is subjective, I would say that I'm usually not attracted to really attractive men. I'm more about sense of humor and intelligence than physical appearance - and to be honest, most of the men that I've met that are really attractive have been more lacking in those departments. I want someone that can make me laugh and can challenge me mentally. If you can do that - your physical appearance becomes very attractive to me. If you can't do that - you become far less attractive to me. So even if a guy looks really hot at first glance - if I talk to him and am not impressed - he can look really unattractive to me very fast.
Sometimes really attractive people rely on their looks rather than their personality to get them by. Maybe online - the really attractive guys don't have as interesting of a profile as the guys that are not as attractive.
I read something about this. It usually has to deal with confidence. Or fear of being rejected. It's easier to be rejected by an ugly man or woman because you always have the thought
"oh well I can do better."

Pretty much. I even did an experiment myself. Though I could never figure out why, I posted a picture of myself from about 3 years ago. Got some profile views and 3-4 messages in about a month.
Last year, I posted a picture that's pretty much what I look like now and I got something like 15 views in the first day, but no messages. In 1 month, I only recall 1 message.

I would have taken the chance. Sorry. The worst the person can say is "no." Or if he does say something worse, to heck with him anyway. (shrug)

So yeah, more views, but fewer messages.
Usually lot of views means there is INTEREST
