I dont think many women say that.. most say looks are important but they think looks are more important to men..

I dont agree with that either i think looks are just as important to women but whatever..

See what happens? Your dummy will get hundreds of women clicking his profile in a few weeks, approximately one third of them will message him, at least 20 will send him flirts or message that they like his picture, another 20 will favorite him.

Repeat the process except use a plain looking man and your dummy will get next to nothing and the few he gets will be the on-line singles site version of bird waste.

Let me know what your experiments showed you.

Try Big Beautiful People Meet, Senior People Meet, Plenty Of Fish, OkCupid
You can put an ugly man on there and jack his income to $100,000 and he will get lots of hits.

I tend to agree with that. I don't see the same scutiny over physical traits of a man in the same way there is about women (especially on CD).

There's a thread going on right now where there is a laundry list of red flags, but the guy is going out on a date with her because she's "cute and funny". The red flags would have me cancel the date before it even got off the ground, no matter how "cute and funny" he was. It runs much deeper than surface appearance, for me.

People on dating sites should message those they find attractive for whatever reason.

TOS prohibit my opinion of the other thread and the OP of said thread....

Yeah, I've gone to lunch with guys from work and some attractive woman walks by and they just go to work hacking away at her.....

Makes me do this....

Anyone who says looks don't matter when it comes to dating either lives on a different planet or they live in some random dream.

If you're not attractive looking, you're not going to have any success in dating.

Speaking from experience of course.

I find it interesting that when threads come up about preferences in appearances, men seem to be a lot more proprietary than women are. Some women will like facial hair, some won't, no big deal. When it comes to women's looks, some guys get angry and offended that there are women out there walking around who they don't find attractive, and who don't care. How dare she be fat when he likes thin?
