There is some truth to the statement. I can look at a picture right away and can tell if a woman is a troublemaker or not. Nose piercings, extremely provocative clothing, eyebrow piercings, other self mutilation "art", blood shot eyes, tired looking (even though she's young), multicolored hair, tattoos, overweight, ect, all indicate to me that the woman could potently be troublesome.
FYI: The FBI,CIA, and other government officials such as airport security does the same style of profiling.
He said he can tell by looking at her that she'd make a good mate. So he can tell, from a photo, whether or not she has commitment issues, significant consumer debt, is selfish/selfless, a good/poor listener, basically he's saying he can tell her character and personality based on how she looks. That would be a no.

You CAN get into a ballpark range from looking at a photo... If I had to go by a photo, I'm looking for a woman who looks like a doctor, scientist, or a plane Jane...
At the end of the day, since men don't have access to easy sex in the way women do, men will take anything even if it means showering an unattractive woman with attention just so he can have sex with her.
The problem is, every time a man does this, he makes the whole dating market harder for other men because not only do you have a large group of unattractive women walking around thinking they're worth more than they really are, but the hot women are so gassed up that believe they're royalty and just being in their mere presence they're doing you a favor.
Yeah, heaven forbid a woman have any sort of confidence.
You should go around telling women who aren't attractive to you that they're worthless and should start acting like it.

Then you'd be missing out on this rather tattooed engineer/pilot who is going to be attending MIT for her masters in Engineering.
It's a bummer that I don't simply 'look the part', eh?
Guess I should dig out that lab coat I had from when I was in the engineering labs... of course, since moving out to the east coast I've learned that you absolutely cannot judge a book by it's cover. Considering I had a beer with a guy who was heavily tattooed (neck and all!) and playing in a band who also had a masters in biomedical engineering and worked in a lab full time. Who knew?
I have met many people who take a horrible photo but look just fine IRL.
You just can't judge from a photo...to a certain point sure, like when they are standing there with a beer or cigarette in their hands...but as for faithfully showing the person's attractiveness? Unreliable at best.
Some men have very unattractive, irregular faces, yet are still extremely attractive. Owen Wilson would be an example, so too would Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem and Harvey Keitel.
For this reason I read the profiles. It's amazing what you can learn about a person from what they write. "I like nights watching DVDs and spend my days fishing" to me is a huge turn off, no matter how "handsome" their photo is.
It's about more than just "pretty on the outside", to me at least.

With all due respect, maybe that's why you have a hard time finding a man.

Working in a lab work doesn't pay much. Anybody can do that. If anything, he shot himself in the foot with all the tattoos.
You guys are missing my point. To men, looks and physical attraction are by far the most imortant trait in a woman. Thats why its easy for a guy to say whether he would want to go out with a woman or not, simply by looking at her picture. However, when you reverse the scenario, women are attracted tomen more based on mans behavior much more so than his looks. All of this is based on thousands of years of evolution and the fact that a woman gives birth while a man provides and protects her and the offspring. This is why we find different things attractive. If men gave birth, their physical appearance would be jus as important but as it stands, it simply isnt. Dont argue biological facts of human nature or things you have no capacity to understand. Thanks

Oh, it's absolutely one of the reasons I've had difficulty finding a man. Of course, I'm not going to mold my life around trying to get married and procreate, and while I'd LOVE to find a man to spend the rest of my life with, I'm not going to base all of my decisions around it. I like having tattoos, I LOVE the ones I have and if a guy doesn't want me because of it, that's definitely his loss.

From what I learned, he makes plenty. Enough to be able to take weeks off at a time to tour with his band and he showed me plenty of pictures from the vacations he's taken all over the world.
Oh, and it wouldn't matter anyway...I don't base a person's worth on how much money they make, just as you shouldn't base a woman's worth on how attractive she is.

Noted. Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to bash the guy.
