What matters more, looks or personality?
On the flip side, say you're chatting to someone nice and you click and you haven't seen them, but you've been chatting to them for so long, but when you do you see they're not attractive but you still like them and proceed? Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks

Surely it has to be both.
You can have a personality that charms the birds out of the trees, but your not my type ( as is the message I keep getting) then my charming personality does mean anything.
Alternatively, I could also look like X (enter your own look preference) but if my personality is different to yours, (and whilst opposites do attract) the chances of us being compatible are unlikely. (as I've recently been told!).

I am going to say personality, just because I look like an extra from a lord of the rings movie, dark lord side. My personality though is blinding, piers morgan style :-)

I think it depends on what you’re after or feel like at the time.
Personality always has to be king (or queen) and ultimately allows the connection that drives the purest of pleasures (or not so pure perhaps 😊).
Trust in the other is a big part of that … to feel safe to explore with each other, live whatever fantasy you have, not blowing up existing relationship etc.
Looks become relatively important if you have a set plan in mind with a fixed idea of the other person (perhaps connected to a fantasy??). Bit risky but if you find that and achieve the trust then why not - indulge I say !? Might not last too long though but does it matter if it feels good ! Will never be as good without the connection though.
Then again the inability to last a long time hasn’t prevented repeated attempts at it whenever pleasure is involved has it ?? 😀😊

To find someone attractive you need both physical and personality connection.
In my experience I have a wider spectrum of what I find attractive physically, but I’m attracted to a more specific personality.
It is easier to describe and show your physical appearance on this site but I find it hard to discover the personality of anyone with out actually meeting them. This can take a lot of meeting to find someone suitable!
It a pity there isn’t a short cut……………….or people could be more honest!?

@Peaches, said before there is no right or wrong, although on some of these forumthreads some people like to think there is!
I think you summed it up well, and Dot, Ineffect what you found was the spark, that chemistry that goes beyond looks and to some extent personality.
Enjoy it while you have it and don’t look back, run with it until it’s natural conclusion - which you luck xx

If he makes you happy, that goes a long way. What are we truly after on this journey? What compromises are we willing to accept for ourselves in our search? Someone right might not be the most ‘perfect’, and someone utterly magnificent may not be the ‘right’ one for you. Rooting for you! 😊

Oh god feels like I've opened a can of worms in here 😂😂 Guess personality counts. I found someone special and I be an absolute idiot if I let him go regardless of the physical side. No not what I started out for or not sure I'll be completely satisfied given time. Hey ho time will tell but you know what he makes me happy so sod it. Thank you all to those who replied and no he didn't see me coming. Sometimes there is more to people and I'd like to think when I'm up to the knackers yard their will be genuine caring people about.

There’s got to be an initial physical attraction right?
But once that’s out the way - hopefully - personalities nurture and sustain the relationship?

I’ve done the ‘letting it out of my system’ when first starting out, but my LG-esque dabblings (girl, you are my twin sister from a different mother with your likes and back story thus far) really are better with one man, at least for the sake of continuity. It helps that he is well into me, and I him. We’re past the stage of just hooking up, and have transitioned into the ‘we’re in our own bubble’ phase. It’s truly joyful. It’ll of course be time to move on when things exhaust themselves, but we still have pages on our bucket list to do, and always so little time in which to do it! 😁
I’m a total fuss pot these days in terms of choosing an IE (yes Laugar164, been burnt by the post single session ghosters. Not fun!). The potential to really like him for more than the physical has to be present before I’ll even do a meet now. And after this fella, whenever that is, I dare say I might be even fussier! 🙊

I’ll never agree with every person on here but happy to hear others even if it’s not the way I’d behave. We’re all little 😈s just have fun find your escape x

Just royally pxxxxs me off when these big personalities start dictating the way things should be and what we should do and be and have, as if our actual life wasn't full of this already! You do you "darling" and live and let live. Cheesey has clearly stated what he's looking for. Personally I'm the same, and Dotty, and TBH and Becky and half of the other men and women on here. But - I'd argue the toss with someone for your right to have nsa hot sex, because that's what fulfills you "darling" and much like the hokey cokey - that's what it's all about! Personally, I'm weirdly incapable of having emotional sex. It is not a positive!!!! Ropes, straps and all the rest I can do - but Jesus, I want to at least be really into the guy I'm strapping down!

I think you need both … something attracts you to your potential IE … it could be the chat in the messages or it could be the first glimpse of a photo that gets you all tingly. If I feel there’s an attraction then I’ll want to meet and we can then see if there’s a spark. I took a chance on one IE - not my type - instant attraction year long affair - so glad we met.
Yes I want to have fun fabulous sex - I’m not going to fall in love - but I like mutual respect and friendship, need to have things in common. Well that’s what works for me.

You're making some assumptions now which are pretty wide of the mark.
If I was going to do the same I would suggest that you seem like you have been burned, hurt badly and emotionless sex is an escape, a way to experience intimacy but without fear of being hurt again, but I wouldn't do that as I don't know you and it's not really my place is it.
If I was going to teach you anything it would be to embrace difference, what works for you doesn't work for everyone. What works for me doesn't work for everyone.
Nobody's way of doing this is right or wrong it's what works for them, the challenge (and often fun part) is finding someone who's way is the same as yours, imo.

I suggest you are looking for what you had with your wife. That's playing with fire. And, it feels as if you are looking for a way out.
Who says I didn't care about my affairs? Or encounters? Fun,and laughter is what bonds myself and my IE's together. Instead of being reactive, look at my post about what emotional attachment REALLY means. It's not about not 'caring'. In fact, I care enough about you to teach you a thing or two. If I can do that without emotional attachment?

One off? You haven't lived darling. I've had sex that are NSA for years with no emotional attachment. Thats why they work. May I suggest that not only did the emotional attachment destroyed your marriage with the thousands of emotions involved in emotional attachment but, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Try something new young man. You might like it and it may just last longer than your marriage
Cheesypuff - 15 Jan, 2023 - 03:33PM
I want there to be an emotional connection because I've found the physical side to be so much better when there is. Yes there are down sides to having emotional feelings towards someone too but I'm very good at controlling how far I allow those emotions to progress, so that they don't become problematic but while being able to enjoy some of the benefits. Not everyone can do that.
I also can just have sex for the sake of sex and enjoy it a lot with no emotion involved, that just isn't my preference.

An emotional connection is a bundle of subjective feelings that come together to create a bond between two people. The word emotional means to arouse strong feelings. The feelings may be anger, sorrow, joy, love or any of thousands of emotions that humans experience

Totally agree you won't know until you meet them.
I've met a lot of women, but only one have I developed an emotional connection with.
For me personally I now only want to meet someone who I think an emotional connection is a possibility with, because I know now how much better the physical side can be when you have it.
I don't want to fall in love but I want there to be care and feeling for each other, it won't be there from first meet but I want to meet people who I think that could develop with.
Yes I'll probably meet people and it'll end up just being a fuck and nothing else, but that's not an aim anymore.

The majority of what you speak of is sexual. And, ALL the advice given is advising against not sacrificing one sex life darling. Who comes onto an affair website offering anything and everything but sex? Like I explained in my post, one of my most intimate and sensual evenings with a guy I've ever had with was a paraplegic. You find a way until you can't which is exactly why the most of us are here because we have exhausted options at home that no longer develop further together. I have yet to see one profile in over 15 years that state "I can offer everything but sex".
It comes with the territory that you may develop a friendship, an emotional connection yadda yadda, but, this is not a counseling service.
Good luck to you 💋

"We are all here for one reason". Nope. There are lots of different types of relationships here. Different levels of sexual adventure and different levels of emotional connection. Vanilla or deply kinky, exvlusive or not, friends with benefits or romantic feelings. Everyone should make of this opportunity what they individually want and need.
I married to fit with convention and please my deeply Catholic parents, had kids, who of course I love, but pretty much for the same reasons! My alternative secret life is not going to be determined by other people's conventions too.

Hey peaches! Is it long term or short term illness? Depends what type of relationship you want, and what it is you have.
If you want and need regular satisfaction you've made a brave choice for yourself, and i know how importaint that need is, like a watch being wound! But if you need connection, friendship and intimacy too, well, how many times do you find that in one life? Could you come to an arrangement? Does it have to be exclusive? Could you switch gears at times between lovers and friends? Things don't have to be black and white if you can manage things well and navigate carefully. Xx

I think it depends on the type of relationship you're wanting to have with them. Both personality and looks matter but to varying degrees, if it's going to be an ongoing long term affair with affection and friendship then you need compatibility on both fronts. If it's going to just be a one off or even occasional get together for sex then the personality is probably less important although that's not to say it doesn't matter at all.

I am not sure how much you want to reveal about his ‘medical issues’ I am sure he’s a great guy but you have to think about the reasons you are here ..yea you can skirt round the ‘we are all here for different reasons ‘ thing but really we are all here because we are missing a half decent sex life …if you are not satisfied then maybe you need to think about how you can get around it..some guys need a little ‘work ‘and if you like him that much you can do it ..it all depends on his medical problems ..if it’s psychological then that will take a toll on your own MH ..are you willing to spend the time doing ‘therapy’ or like many of us ..do we need the drama ?
If the problem isn’t ‘mind orientated’ then you have other options …it all depend on yourself? ..In my opinion if your asking for advice then something isn’t quite right …sadly🙁

I once spent an evening with a paraplegic chest down paralysis. It was one of the most sensual and erotic experiences I've ever had. If all possibilities have been explored between you both, then, of course end it. Why feel guilty? You have given him what you can of yourself haven't you? We are on a affair site Peaches darling, not marriage advise site.
All sexual growth between 2 people (or more if you are that way inclined) comes to a natural end eventually. Behind every beautiful woman there is a man bored of shagging hee and vice versa...crude but true.
Whether it was medical problems or not, what do you have to feel guilty for? He saw you coming if you ask me

Difficult for outsiders to say but if you're "not fulfilled" and if being "intimate" is (obviously) important to you, it had to be done?
Is there any possibility of him being a Friend WITHOUT Benefits? I'm assuming he's aware that his inability to be "intimate" with you is the problem here.

So sorry to hear that! I remember one of your last posts some months back saying you had met up 6x and was excited about things finally happening…..
Stay in touch with him for sure, and be the best of friends, but if physical intimacy is what you crave then that is what you need to do for yourself. He must surely understand that and not hold you back any longer.

Yes! His ability to have control over his thought process, speaking with purpose and meaning, every word, every sentence bowling me over. That comes through in his voice and his entire body tone as he speaks. Very intimate experience for me. I melt, and it doesn’t even have to be anything bombastic, just really heartfelt and sincere. Nice mild accent, whatever the region, medium to low pitch. He wins.

O believe me I used to get hurt or feel I need closure …. But I soon realise I needed to take this as the interlude it is. My ghost was over 3 years ago, our affair was over a year … it was awful- just the not knowing - then I’ve put it down to his bad behaviour - and he’d get nothing from me.
I guess it’s all down to different experiences, had mad me stronger. I accept and enjoy the affair to the max whilst it’s happening but know it will end - I don’t dwell, just move on.
Good luck lovely, you do what’s right for you x

I'm sure that every eventuality you suggest has happened to somebody on here. Life's like that. You can plan all you want but life rarely goes to plan. Don't be too prescriptive, too strict. Just let life happen.

And also mannerisms. That's not part of either 'looks' or 'personality'. But within seconds you can feel a man seems feminine or masculine in their way (i'd guess it is the same for a man with women.) If they carry themselves with confidence or not. A peculiar walk you just couldn't live with, or whether you'd pay just to watch them walk, naked, across a room...

Personally is first and foremost, but there has to be an element of attraction. If you see each other a few times like the person but there is no attraction then it's best to let the person know and not string them on.

I’m reading this this topic with fascination on the varied opinions here. I still don’t know the best way to approach this.
I don’t regard myself as photogenic and I have been told I’m much better in the flesh than in my photos. I think it’s something to do with my cheek bones and the light . Despite being battered in my rugby plying days , I’m definitely not Mr Bean or Shrek! More David Bowie and the lead singer from the B52s.
I agree with some of the posts about ghosting and blocking post PW view. Unfortunately those people probably don’t venture on these forums and begin to realise how rude it is.
I try and arrange a meeting as soon as possible in a safe and conducive environment because until you meet someone there is no way of telling whether there truly is a connection. I feel more confident in a face to face or phone call meeting than anything else.. chemistry for me is the combination of mental and physical attraction.

Body and abdominal hair any day. It’s a real faff reaching up to stroke his head when nestled against his chest and fingers teasing his nipples.
Looks do matter, but if you both connect as well as ill fitting tetrominos, there really isn’t a lot of point. I haven’t really met anyone who has been so bad looking that I had to barf into a bag.

I have to say personality is king for me. Part of why I'm here is to get a connection (or chemistry if you will). Whilst I do have an ideal, mostly this is a non existent individual because it is based on my biases.
I do agree with QuietLife however that we live in the real world and until you actually meet someone, judgement should be reserved.
QuietLights - 14 Jan, 2023 - 11:37AM
Speaking as a man, on this site you have to learn to cope with the rejection of your 2D images.... Interestingly it works both ways - I will reject those that don't do it for me (and have done so) even if (given the nature of this site) "success" might have been a nailed on certainty....
Personally I would rather meet someone in the real world where an initial mutual attraction is easier to define...
Just an opinion....

My I.E and i messaged for a day before we swapped pictures and by that point I was already so blinking 'ga-ga' with the intensity of the connection that he could have been a minotaur and I'd have over-looked it (he's not, i will add, hes lovely.) I am not his physical type, at all (the comma is important there...he's often reminded of that early pointed clarification he made quite a substantial time ago now). I don't really have a 'type' - appart from 'outdoorsy' does it for me everytime. But all I can say is that when you find an intense wild wonderful sexual connection...zowee! Better find something sturdy to hold onto!

It’s a combination of lots of things… you do need to feel some attraction for the OP but it’s not that that sustains the affair….personality plays a big part so does having things in common…whether the OP can hold a conversation and if the brain cells are present..😂

LesYeuxBleus - 14 Jan, 2023 - 10:35AM
As with lots of things, it depends.
I find the opening salvo of a password request without any sort of intro quite rude and demeaning. I understand that there has to be attraction but that doesn't always come through on a photo.
I have a couple of times clearly been binned and ghosted as I'm shaven headed/bald. I was once brutally told "Sorry, I was to run my hands through a man's hair when we're getting intimate". I did think of quipping back that there was hair on my stomach she could use. But I guessed there wasn't much of it and I was sure that the IE I wanted would be so superficial.
At the same time there needs to be an element of physical attraction, I think the best rules of engagement are a couple/few messages seeing if you'd click as people and then brave the pics.
I've had mixed experiences with pics. Previously when I was here, one lady used an older photo that she'd clearly used filters on and it was obvious when we met. Others the pics haven't done the person credit.
Cheesypuff - 14 Jan, 2023 - 10:14AM

I think both are important, you need that 1st initial attraction but it's also just has important to av that personality that makes you want to laugh and chat all night , I need to fancy a person but also like a person for things to go further , but that's me were not all the same , good luck with your searches x

Personality trumps looks for me. Communication is vital to know someone and also Chemistry which comes from that which after a while can lead to attraction in my experience. If two people look and there is no attempt to talk then the chemistry is never going to be there. Man or woman can have face lift or women boob jobs etc and you meet them because they look good and suddenly when they speak they are dull as dish water, that is a complete let down.
1564953 - 26 Nov, 2022 - 04:15PM
It's a process. Chemistry matters most.
Looking good encourages and invites people to connect with you. You can then have a discussion.
Your personality consolidates that positive perception of your looks and creates a profile of you as "ok to be with".
Chemistry is the big one. Because that will build on the previous stages and create something long term and tangible for both parties......or firework "ripping clothes off" attraction that we all yearn for.

I am sapiosexual and can find myself getting more attracted as I get to know a person. But days of texting does tend to turn me off as texting is not conducive to convey deeper aspects of your personality. So I have resorted to asking to swap pics first, always giving my password first to the lady, so they don't have to share theirs if there's no interest.

Looks are critical for most women, pay no regard to woke, virtuous, hollow claims otherwise .
If you think about it an affair / being unfaithful is a big deal so there has to be a big payload.
I recommend you make sure you are in great physical shape, thats something you can control, everyone can find 20 minutes daily to exercise even if it’s pressups while for example reading work emails😂

lifestooshort86 - 14 Nov, 2022 - 06:53PM
I think it depends on the relationship you want, but in my opinion sexual attraction on any level is important, it's fundamental to how we are wired. If like someone's personality and not thier looks, they are more likely friendship material. I guess on sites like this it seems shallow to want to see pics first, but I get it.
All that being said, looks aren't gonna cut it alone if they have the personality of an old wooden spoon, equally multiple personalities should be avoided 😅

Depends on the type of affair, if it's purely sexual then it would be looks, but if it's a traditional affair then personality first and looks second.

For me…. Only offer the pw when you’re pretty much sure you both don’t move in the same circles. And that should be within the first few messages! Don’t waste talking without seeing photos of the person. Both Looks and personality together are key, not one or the other.

Anyone looking for perfection is going to be disappointed, but there has to be some attraction from the photo. Without any attraction, even if I could talk forever with that person and get along with them, it will never end as a sexual relationship, only a friendship. I've had plenty of male friends in my lifetime, never slept with any of them.

I have to confess, and call me shallow if you like, that I prefer to see a photo early on. As much as you can connect with someone during a message or conversation, that goes right out of the window if you see the picture and you find them in no way attractive (and vice versa) It's even more awkward if you've been chatting for a while and getting on well....but hey ho that's just me.

I feel that any photo image is purely one dimensional and doesn't convey the true attractiveness of the person concerned. Seeing someone in the flesh can be a totally different experience to viewing a photo. I agree there needs to be an element of attraction in viewing a photo but to expect total 100% instant attraction from a photo image is unrealistic. The other elements of mental attraction, stimulation, mutual interests/agenda, friendliness, charm, wit, conversation need to be in place first. The 'lust' could very easily spark up on meeting this other person when the other factors are in place. An outright instant dismissal based on what may be an average photo, is in my opinion very shallow and is not taking in all the factors that could make that person an attractive IE encounter.
Shmoogles - 27 Oct, 2022 - 10:43PM
Oooh. A tricky topic.
Me? I don’t swap passwords until I sense a depth of connection.
What goes on between the ears excites & entices…
if someone captivates my minds eye, inspires my imagination,… then I’m attracted f’sure.
Beauty becomes boring… superficial shallow types, meh…
For me, intelligence, an open mind & a sensual spirit… always exciting & my type…
& can’t always be conveyed in a picture or image.

When should I offer to let a lady see them?
Chezley - 27 Oct, 2022 - 12:19PM
Few people reveal their true personality until sometime later, after a few mishaps, getting out of their comfort zone etc. Then you find out how they tick.
Until then, and for the short duration of an ie they may as well look good.

I agree its an issue for sure and very frustrating - photo is only a small part of the person you're talking to if chats are good and maybe get to talk on the phone you can get a feel for someone without seeing a photo - I prefer the actual person to the photo, but you can only get to see the person if you get past the photo bit, which often is the stumbling block for many it would seem,
Don't know what the answer is, other than to try and see past the person in the picture, I have met people that I wouldn't ordinarily be attracted to but their personality became far more attractive, after which the person was as well...
Just my thoughts...

Afternoon all,
I just want to put a bit of context around my previous comments on breasts and bums. In terms of a woman's physical attributes, they do stand out and do catch my eye. However, if that was all I was interested in I would buy a sex doll and be happy! Mind you they are getting very realistic these days and I would probably end up with one that gets headaches and puts me on a ban until I finish the decorating.

Fannyflutters or cocktwitches, maybe even asswinks for some people, or throatgags (I'm struggling now). I think it starts in the mind, is triggered by something other than a pure photo. It may be started remotely by something said that indicates a shared level of sexual deviancy, or it might also be triggered when meeting for the first time by a way of moving, interacting, even the combination of perfume on a particular person's skin (I've known perfume that gave me a cocktwitch on some women, that never even registered with others). But I think it goes beyond what a pure photo can inspire on its own as a reaction. So I call it personality.

I think that is so true @sun_beach&S
For men affairs are primarily for sex. For women we need fanny flutters 😂. Otherwise I completely agree what’s the point?
We all need connection, personality and attraction in varying degrees to get to that stage though.

We have to be sexually attracted to each other for this to work simple as.You might have the most caring personality but if you can't make my fanny flutter wheres the point?
I have that at home,don't need same in affair

We are human, and it's not shallow to say you're not attracted to someone. We make up our minds pretty quickly with looks, then other factors kick in quite quickly. That's what flirting is for, right?
On this site, you've got to factor in additional things, like practicality, discretion and are they actually sane :)
I don't know about other men, but I have standards, and I'm not going to waste someone else's time and mine if I'm not attracted and interested in the other person. It's not all about a shag.

Fair play.
I agree. Most dating apps you only have a photo to go on, so cannot judge personality. Here we have a few more options, so can go the old traditional route of photo looks only, but also have the option of engaging first and exchanging a few messages before deciding whether to grant access to a pic

It looks to me like the op has answered their own question.
Personally I don’t see the dilemma. Is it too much to ask to be attracted to both the person and how they look? I don’t think so. Both have equal importance.
This site is predicated on the idea that you may potentially want to have an affair with the person you message. I don’t think it’s odd to want to see what they look like, and fairly quickly. Personally I have no issue with being asked my PW within a few messages. I may not be someone’s cup of tea. And that’s okay.
As for the idea of basing your choices purely on looks… I totally agree, that would be a little shallow. But we have to start somewhere. Meticulously reading a profile and starting a dialogue only to find you don’t fancy that person is time consuming. Finding out up front isn’t.

I’ve always felt personality wins the day as long as physical attraction is also present.
When I mentioned the importance of looks that was more a comment on the heightened role aesthetics play in online dating, particularly the swiping Apps which reduce people to a 300 millisecond choice

I’ve been thinking over the subject of this thread for a while now and have concluded personality trumps looks.
Looks get u in the door, but then personality and things like humour and soul kick-in.
Overall the most attractive women I’ve ever encountered were that blend of many factors, and I can report the ‘exquisite’ lookers were not all round the most attractive, indeed some exuded conceit and I would not trust them
Long term
I did my bed hopping in my twenties and tired of it, sex is wayyy better for me if there’s a mental fizz n flow.

Exactly. I get the impression some people seem to think all men should just be looking for body parts and nothing else.
Some men AND women want that, whilst others want a connection as well. That connection/friendship/attraction is not love (in most cases); as yes, most have that at home already.
Seeking an IE is a case of finding someone who seeks the same, as well as both being attracted to each other, either in a physical or emotional way.

Agree that if some distance is involved and time is a premium, then it’s got to be worth your while. I use video messaging quite a bit to get a better idea, lots of voice notes, on different topics. Chat about everything. They have to be open. Obviously not comparable to a face to face meet, but if a person isn’t forthcoming in these message formats, then for me, we are probably not going to make it in real life either. I don’t meet easily, and by then people give up anyway…...natural filter for me 😜😂

Even though it's 2D a pic does give you the general idea as to whether you would like to proceed with chatting or a meet. I doubt everyone chats and meets everyone who swapped a pw

Yes it is much easier to meet here in London I guess (especially as most commute so easy to meet at lunch time or after work for coffee or drink) so I do understand.
But sometimes take that chance….
I do agree with TBH it can be hard to judge photos.

@Dotty Green
It’s trickier though when more travel is involved (than London) or people are more time limited (I think you’ve said you meet for a quick drink after work).
I really need to be quite convinced before considering the logistics of a first meet. So while I absolutely agree photos can be rubbish, a lot of us do need to use them to decide yes or no

Met a couple of fakes though, but that’s beside the point 😜

One of my IEs, we chatted got on well exchanged photos:.. I thought he was nice but not sure he was my type, but decided to meet. We met - definite attraction - we had an affair for over a year. I’m glad I took that chance. So I do think it’s important to look beyond a photo, until you meet in person you never really know …

If that was the case why take the trouble to even have pics? If looks aren't important, why see a pic at all? Yes, you want to see who you're chatting to, but also, mainly, people want to actually have some visual attraction.

AAGilfan - 17 Oct, 2022 - 10:03AM
Atticus Fox. A lot of us are on here because we have lost that connection at home. Not just the physical connection but maybe when that fizzles out, other parts of the connection drop off too. To me it is about making that connection and seeing what happens because when one does connect, as Lorelai says, it is like electricity surging through you. Most of us on here are older and wiser than our younger days, have so much more to give in terms of experience and wordliness but also a better understanding of our quirks and where things, quite often as a result of ageing, aren't quite what they were. With that as a starting point I do think most can bring a more open minded approach to this little circus. Yes there has to be a base level of attraction to take things further but the connection, the buzz between 2 people can override a lot of the negatives.

Miss Chief 76
I had a rather bad experience with chatting someone up on the phone when younger, so once bitten twice shy.
I was in my first job, and had to liaise regularly by phone to a girl about my age, in another of our offices around 30 miles away. We got very friendly, she had the sexiest voice ever, and we started flirting and talking about underwear.
When her birthday came around she invited myself and another guy to a party in their office. I was highly delighted and couldn’t wait to meet her.
The big day arrived, I got to the office, was shown in, and …..she was the biggest lass I have ever seen in my life! She must have weighed over 30 stones!
I was mortified and literally couldn’t speak!
I ended up circling the room and socialising, but avoiding her, and after an hour or so, my workmate and myself left and went to a nightclub with two of her female colleagues!
I still feel the guilt :-(
If only i had known and been prepared. Great girl - but too much of a shock

I have found this. I have connected with someone but the attraction isn't there. I'm a visual lover. Not a imaginative one. I did have a gent once suggest that I be blindfolded on the bed of the hotel room and he enter and we become lovers without sight, while this would surely heighten the experience, I adore eye contact when we are turned on so, I need the visual attraction to proceed. Maybe not all is lost, maybe phone sex could be an option.

Attraction, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Generally, I guess, we men are initially more attracted to looks. But without intelligence, humility and a ready wit, all the beauty in the world leaves me cold.
I find an initial attraction can be torpedoed by arrogance, cruelty, and humourlessness to name a few traits.
Sigh.

Exactly. If someone gripes because another has a lack of hair, for instance, when few of us are spring chickens (bring over the age of 30); they will also have their own aging aspects (let’s call them that rather than failings).
Make the most of what we have yes. I do get the impression that some people look in the mirror though with rose tinted glasses, so they see perfection and thus seek similar, which does not exist, so they’ll have to continue looking and looking and not finding :-(
No one wins

I’m sure the women that are demanding a full head of hair have many failings themselves from the list I gave earlier, plus several more no doubt. So in fact you’ve probably dodged bullets.

You mention going thin on top as not being attractive as it signifies decline, there are 101 other things that are similar and signify decline, both in male and female:
- Going grey
- Receeding gums
- Hair in ears or up nose
- Old looking hands
- Sun spots on skin
- wrinkles
- saggy boobs
- bingo wings
- hair loses shine
- hair more brittle
- bad back/knees/neck etc
- …etc (bored now)
Likely all on here have some of the above above as very few will be early 20’s and in prime health of their lives!
Therefore, all IE’s, men and women, will have to compromise and accept that the chances of finding someone with none of the above are pretty remote!

Hi Conradd
I don’t disagree. But to me it comes across as very arrogant, and is therefore not an appealing trait for me, so I’d rather steer well clear.
A far better approach, if it has to be photo or no messages, in my view, would be as follows:
1. Man sends speculative message to say hello
2. Woman responds with her PW saying here is my photo, send me a pic and if we both like the look of each other we can exchange a few messages and see if we want to meet up soon.
That speeds it up even more as the man may not respond again, so she has less messages to go through. So she has been weeded out and therefore does not have to weed herself unless they respond!
Conradd - 15 Oct, 2022 - 03:41PM
Bobb
Also I recognise some women get overwhelming numbers of messages (common to dating apps and even things like Twitter) so with limited time and head space they need to weed out as many as possible
Go on even Twitter and see how many women say they are sick of DMs and as such wont respond or have disabled them
Thats not even a dating app

Looks are subjective of course but on average we all apply an attraction rating within about half a second, subconsciously
There are specific facial features which determine male face attractiveness such as:
Predator or prey eyes - prey eyes such as wide round bulbous eyes can subconsciously make a male appear weak, a prey animal
A strong jaw, deep from chin to neck is more attractive than a sloth ‘jaw’
I am very thin on top, not attractive to quite a lot as signifies decline
Bobb20 - 15 Oct, 2022 - 01:51PM
Zen1022
I agree with you. However, there is ‘early on’ and there is ‘I will not even send you a first message unless I have seen your clear face photo’.
To me this is a complete turn off, as it feels to me that the other person is trying to be far too controlling, so it is a straight ‘no’ from me.. The counter arguement is ‘I get so many messages from men that I’m not wasting any time on messaging if I do not fancy them’.
I do wonder what would happen if I sent photos, had approval, so asked for some back and then in response said ‘nah, I’m not keen on your pics, not for me so not going to waste my time messaging you’! I assume women (or men who use this approach), would then be a tad miffed and possibly upset.
I wouldn’t do the above as I’d rather be a nice person and can only see harm in causing possible upset in life. Heck we all have issues to face, and I believe we are all looking for a little cheer/intimacy/excitement/positive feelings by being on here.

What’s the problem in sharing your password early on? Most people like to see who they’re talking to so it’s unfair to engage in a long exchange only to find you’re not attracted to each other. Nothing worse than stringing someone on then saying ‘sorry you’re not my type’ - waste of time.

Looks are so subjective. Many say that personalty is the key but as has been said here you get to photo password stage and you know by the silence that the barriers have gone up. It's happened to me, both ways. Perhaps we are all just more shallow than we make out on our profiles? There are honest ones out there , very specific, 6'0 plus Greek God look only reply etc. I still think an emotional connection is far more important than looks but they do, and surely must, play a part

Some man look at Education and think oh she is not my cuppa tea even without getting to know the person.

To be fair, and as shallow as it sounds, I have often heard mention (from contributors to forums on other sites) is the disappointment of "chatting" with a potential AP only to pic exchange and not be attracted to them physically.
More often than not, we find ourselves on this site because something is lacking in our current dynamic. Usually, its the intimate connection between us and another. There are many facets to this. Physical attraction is one, most don't want to admit it because of how shallow it sounds. But, I question at times, if there was no option to hide pics (such as on other "dating apps/sites"), or to leave bios blank or have "generated assistence" would people still gets the same number of connections.
I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea. Be it looks or personality. Im good with that. Like most, I just don't appreciate the time and effort invested into someone to be all for nothing.
No one likes to be rejected, most feel that in some small way in their marriage hence they come here

Personality can be the biggest turn on or turn off. Everyone views people differently. One mans desire is not the same as the next.
Personally I think you have to have a both physical attraction and also fall for the personality.

Beckysharp, fair enough. However, instant chemistry and attraction is no guarantee of good sex. Can say that from experience.

Just because 2 people are compatible on paper or via a website doesn’t mean they’d be compatible in reality!

I am assuming many here are looking for two things - sex, the physical part; and the connection, the emotional part.
For better sex compatibility is key. Sure both partners can hit their orgasm, if that's the end goal, even without a lot of compatibility. But for one that you will remember for a long time, one that fundamentally alters your list of desires from the next sexual encounter, it's better to have that compatibility. A good check here is to a test on https://bdsmtest.org - doesn't matter the reference to BDSM.
How long it take to understand compatibility? You will need to have a level of trust to discuss this in the first place, and a level of anonymity on IE helps. But you should be open to discuss this.
The second one, connection, takes time. And can be built before or after sex. Sex can even open up the vulnerability and space to connect deeper.
In my experience, taking a long time to chat, without exploring sexual compatibility can lead to not amazing sex.

I have had some good looking guys interested in me ...but I have found them superficial..profoundly boring...dull as dishwater.....you don't need to find a guy that looks like he's been chasing parked cars because we all know 'some physical attraction ' is required....Middle of the road guy with intelligence and dosent need a personality for Xmas is good in my books😁

In my mind they are very much intertwined. A great personality can be overshadowed by a face that looks like it has been hit by a bus and equally, a lovely face cannot make up for a dull, vacuous personality.
The only reasons why 'body off baywatch, face off crimewatch' situations work is 1) doggy style and 2) paper bags.

I've dated truly handsome men who had the worse personalities. I've dated handsome men who had god awful hygiene. So now I am very specific in my profile. I prefer not to smell your breath or look at your dirt encrusted fingernails as you butter your bread. I need a man who gets me on Day 1. I'm not difficult to understand and I expect a date to put forth the effort to woo me. That's where personality comes into play. Make me laugh. I'm a dog lover so send me a funny clip. Have my favorite chocolates or flowers delivered...just cause you were thinking about me. It really is quite easy to have an award winning personality!

You need not worry anyway, I’ll not be sharing any further personal info on these boards .
I am not here to fight with anyone - or to verbally abuse anyone, so apologies if I was rude to you in any way.
I would rather we all kept it civil. A bit of friendly give and take banter is good, to have people with differing opinions is also really good, and in fact enlightening, but some comments just go too far and are not pleasant for anyone to read.

In no way am I bragging -and I have no intention of trying to impress on this message board. If my profile is not what someone is looking for that’s fine. That is literally all I wish to sell myself with (unless I decide to put up a personal pic avatar as some do).
I genuinely like hearing what people do - I like reading that Dotty G enjoys leisurely afternoons in a nice hotel with her IE, in fact I even like reading Blueboy entertains in the back of his van, and Conradd has 5 houses (EmmEmm or someone posted the latter,, so I have no idea whether he told her this in a private message, he posted it on the board or it is in his profile).
I take all of these at face value and assume all true. I have no reason to doubt it.
I feel no jealousy about any. Why should Dotty be satisfied with a quick poke in MacDonalds loos! And why shouldn’t Conradd say he is successful in work/business!
I don’t see it as bragging, I see it as sharing a little of their life story.

If 99% of women want a man over 6ft talk then I think it is as likely that 99% of men will want a young blonde women with big boobs (another words both are untrue).
The fact that both you and Beckysharp has both said you do not fall into this bracket but are not short of admirers proves my point.
You are obviously one of those big women who do not like it when people stand up for themselves!
Don’t worry, I certainly will not be sharing any private things with you, that’s for sure.

Red Succubus said nothing of the sort.
I said I want/need a man over 6ft, as I am 5'11".
What young, blonde and big boobed has anything to do with it, I don't know.
I'm obviously getting older so things are different, when I was younger I had absolutely no complaints about my small breasts and 34" inside leg!
Are you turning into one of those little men who takes the huff when everyone isn't agreeing with them.
Please do keep your private stuff to yourself.
No-one cares or would be impressed by who you met last week.

You should at least be doing well in one out of the three as you have five houses, I presume you can't be short of a bob or two!
As for the men complaining about women looking for tall men, I doubt women who are under 5'6" are too bothered about a man being over 6ft, could be wrong.
As I am 5'10", obviously taller in heels it is an absolute requirement for me and why not?

Turns out I dropped my daughter off about twice at a pre school around 8 years ago! How she remembered me off the back of that I have no idea, but very impressive memory (or once you have seen my face you never forget it! So don’t look or you’ll take the vision to your grave!)
RS. Why would I want to impress you? I’ve told all about my Friday night - go on then, what did you do?
I have no reason to lie. Money is interesting, but certainly does not impress me. Shows people work hard (someone mentioned Conradd is loaded, again I’m not impressed by a bank balance, but I’ll give credit to him, he must have worked hard for it, so in that respect, good luck to you Conradd).
If only you all knew who I met the previous week! I was seriously impressed with her contacts and friends!
But I’ll keep all of my stuff private from now on.

In fact if you want to know more detail - gym guy owns 5 businesses, has a Lambo (full size not toy) and wants to chat to me about finance and investments - as he says he always liked me and admired me and we got on so well. Sort of a local mafia family as they all own lots of land etc.
His best mate is from a well known former ‘crime’ family in London!
All true.

Was not ducking your Q at all, I didn’t realise you were asking me one.
As it happens it turned out to be a very interesting evening, for I got talking to the ladies and the shorter guy!
They were not leaving as I thought, but going to the loo.
Turns out was a group meal, for a 50th (birthday girl was not one of women).
So, one of the ladies, tall and dark hair, turns out to be the wife of a guy I used to know from the gym. The other, tall blonde lady, is the girlfriend of his best mate, who is the 5ft 6in guy.
So not a threesome, not work colleague, not a lady of the night, but one genuine tall woman and one genuine shorter guy.
I’ve actually exchanged phone numbers, so may meet up again with my ex-gym buddy, and he might bring his best mate! Not sure about the ladies.
Seems I posted a bit early in the evening! :-)
See, you never know who you are going to meet or what you are going to end up talking about (or which tall lady will end up giving you a hug and cheek kiss)

We are lucky with our height as most average height men are taller than us ... I too have had the height spectrum from average to tall ... agree it does depend on the individual. However, I will admit I still prefer a 6 foot and above man ... currently with a 6'2" ... doesn't need to make up for anything either!
TheBoredHousewife - 01 Oct, 2022 - 12:02PM
Once dated a slightly taller, younger version of Danny DeVito. He made me laugh to no end, sex was out of this world. Have also been with 6’5 men who have amounted to a lot less. Height doesn’t matter to me as it doesn’t take much to tower over yours truly. It may well be important for a taller woman. Sometimes when you have a physical shortfall, you make up for it in other ways - charm, charisma, making the woman smile, dedication, and maybe too, an insane amount of stamina and creativity.

I’m not in the least bit worried personally, as it doesn’t really affect me either way, for I’m 5ft 10in and bang in the middle of normal. The vast majority of women will be shorter than me and only outliers higher.
I suppose I am sticking up for those guys on here that may be around the 5ft 6in height range - as I feel in Avesta people like Blueboy bully them into thinking they are less worthy.
I guess if it is true that men only want young blonde women with big boobs, then I am also wrong on the height issue.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the height thing @Bobb20. For some women it’s top of their wish list for some it’s not.
Wish lists can become a little more unrealistic online perhaps? I always assume that if I’m not being inundated with offers from Hemsworth Dopplergangers in real life it’s unlikely to happen on here (sadly)!

Yes, unusual to see such a height discrepancy, which is why I was chuckling to myself.
Let’s face it, most women are not 6ft tall (though my cousin did marry a woman of 6ft 3in). The average height of a woman is 5ft 4 in, and a man 5ft 10in.
Tall guys who are well built like to think they are the only ones that are desirable, but that is total cobblers.
It’s like me saying young blonde women with big boobs are preferred by men and 99% of those who do not look like this will be left on the shelf! I’m sure we have lots of (mostly) non-blonde big boob young women on this site who are very successful in finding a partner.

Bobb, you are using one example where it appears a smaller man has succeeded (and I emphasise “appears”) to prove that small guys have just as much chance
You need to face facts that those vertically challenged, 99% of the time will be left on the shelf as most ladies prefer a taller man

Looks are completely secondary for some of us, and in fact someone's looks can grow on you. IE's picture setup is dreadful, let's face it, even your best pic is being viewed in grainy low resolution misery.
When I got talking to my former paramour, I did see her pics but they did nothing for me, but it didn't matter. Her conversation was amazing, we had a rapport, and we fell for each other's personality, voice, sense of humour, everything.
When we did finally meet in person I immediately fell for her, she wasn't like her pics. To me she was far better, just so gorgeous to my eyes. I loved her for the next year that it lasted.
IE pics are unkind to everyone. If you're getting on at all, then swap on kik, or go for a coffee or tea. You might fall in love if you're not careful.

Looks and personality are of equal importance.
Something fascinating to me is the almost ubiquitous request for the male candidate ms to be dominant or tending towards dominant in intimacy.
This speaks volumes and I suspect is a rejection of married partners who are somewhat emasculated , keen to underscore their progressive outlook which seems to be the opposite of what women seek In their sexual desires.
Society frames the ideal of manhood to be a guy on a pussy march banging his tambourine for sisterhood, but he seems to go to the back of the bedroom queue for not being sufficiently dominant

Here is the rub!
ou have strong thighs and the capability to have good sex but not with your abandoned partner. if like women you hit the 60's you are marginalised (as a male) and left completely adrift. Some men grow up and realise what intimacy is; they can share that but, they face the opprobrium (look it up) of being a letch - no win for some of us!

Wear your jeans ..western style...no builders arses...no saggy pockets and no underwear on show...
As for beards they have been trendy for a few years now....but the Bin Laden look isn't good...if your beard is trimmed short ..nose hair and furry ear hair removed..eyebrows tidied up....it does look attractive for an older guy...as for younger guys ..some have baby faces so the beard makes them look older ..
Some women like it....others don't...!

I totally agree. Women can easily have threading or waxing to remove it 😆.
Jesting aside, I personally think beards give guys an ‘old man’ look, but appreciate that view probably makes me the old man!
The jeans underneath the bum on guys is also a hideous look unless you are a trendy rapper, for anyone over the age of 25 surely it just gives a builders bum look rather than a trendy backside look.
But heck, what do I know. It you think you rock it and it attracts then go for it!

I think that there has to be a physical attraction. Then, if you like the personality they get more and more physically attractive. And if you don't like their personality their physical attraction wanes. They are inextricably linked,and in my opinion both are required for a successful liaison

secretflirt68 - 28 Sep, 2022 - 01:11PM
Both matter. What I would say, is that you can get a good idea of someone's personality fairly quickly with messaging, based on the way they reply. Photos seem like they'll be a good indicator, but they really aren't. Filters, flattering angles, old photos can all make the person look much better than they really are face-to-face, but also some people just take a crap photo, and may be a lot more attractive face-to-face than the photo. So for me, personality is the primary factor in working out whether I'd want to meet - but if there's no physical attraction when you get face-to-face, no point in carrying on.

Good luck to the woman who gets around your preferences.. 🤐

Exactly - and unless you have both boxes ticked, it’s hard to see how you would get any enjoyment from a closer encounter.
You have to at least like someone and to find them moderately attractive to want to take further. In my opinion anyway.

Totally understand - there are quite a few women that I get to chat to in "the real world" and enjoy talking to, and maybe spend time with, but don't fancy - and some that I quite fancy, but their personality is perhaps irritating, or conversation banal.

Do you not do the same though? I do.
I actually applaud women for taking the time to sift through and find someone they want to engage with, and to be honest, if I sent a first message and a lady was not interested in me, I’d rather get no reply - saves a lot of time.
Obviously if you have sent a few messages and a PW then rather rude not to say thank you but no thank you.
You probably think I am just saying this - but I’m not! I think it is fine.

Last time I was at the coast, lots of people had made the trip from Birmingham.
Talking of Birmingham, too late now, but we could have had a Commonwealth Games meet up for those into Sport :-)
For those north of Birmingham, another meet venue - Blackpool or somewhere like that? Anyone for the ‘Big One’ ;-) …..heck I’m full of the hideous jokes today! 😁

3 minutes or whatever to sell yourself and to find out about the other on the other side of the table.
Sadly doesn’t work looking for an IE of course ….unless…. yes, I know, I could tie it into the beach meet and drinks in the evening ;;-)
Speed dating with only IEs present.
Full of ideas I am - I reckon IE should give me a free membership here to keep them coming (even able to sneak an unintended innuendo in) 😀

From experience, looks definitely wins the day. I’ve had some great chats with women on here, building up some great rapport but once the pw subject comes up, that’s it if you don’t pass muster. I always wonder if we all met in a discreet room a la speed dating, how many couples would click that previously wouldn’t be touched with a barge pole!

I think personality is key, I agree there has to be some attraction, but a great personality is more forgiving on those with lesser looks - if you look great but a complete dullard, well you are just a dullard
I spend time getting to know the man, I refrain from taking up the pw, and if the first message is just their pw, well forget it
I do not have a pic on here and for my last three dates have gone blind, just the one was a complete liar, the other two definitely lived up to expectations

Btw - im not on Social Media so I dont see all that rubbish, although I know it's there. Id love to see a poll here of women who are not bothered about height (being smaller than you is bothered about height). Im bothered about weight but saying that isn't given the same acceptance. I guess thats my point.
:-)
1542000 - 01 Sep, 2022 - 12:13PM
@paula99
I agree. What I see is that women explicitly say (and this is very frequent), must be over X height. I dont think thats a problem at all if thats what you like. My contention is that the same non-judgemental approach wouldn't be afforded me if I cited a specific dress size or weight. I guess my beef is that weight is almost entirely self determined by a person so I guess they are taking offence at weight based preferences as a criticism of themselves in some way?

In the case of taller women over 5 ft 10 ...I can understand why they would prefer a taller guy..
There are no height restrictions for me...its just a preference....its just like women with bigger boobs..blonde hair....long legs...

It's both I believe. Initial attraction can be through engaging chat but the feeling of physical attraction is needed too.
What I find strange in the dating world is the height and weight thing. We all have things we like, (e.g blondes, intelligence, sense of humour etc) so I get why height is s thing for many people. What I dont get is how that is quite widely accepted as ok while weight discrimination isn't? I mean a measure of a persons inner being maybe better understood through knowing weight than height. You have no control over height but with weight it often reflects lifestyle choices. So why is asking someones weight deemed offensive but not asking their height?

Surely both looks and personality are important and are a set of steps that you both need to go through.
As most of us use an avatar the first attraction has to be mental.
If we get along to the point of exchanging pics (and I have been fortunate enough to only have had pics from some very attractive women) then there has to be the physical attraction.
If you then meet there has to be that frísson.
And all is then we'll.
If I get the message "you uuuglee! But I like talking to you" then thats also cool as I like chatting to people but a pen pal is not what people are ultimatly looking for on here. (Though I may be wrong with this and am happy to be a pen pal)

Garbage!
There has never been a survey done that states women look at a guy's crotch within two seconds, for what purpose?
It would tell a woman absolutely nothing about the size of his manhood, or as I think you're suggesting, his ability to father children, totally irrelevant here.
As for the boobs on a woman, I wonder how the supermodels manage to attract so many men?
Don't pigeonhole everyone.

Looks or personality: as Scottie used to say, "ye canna change the laws of physics" or in this case you can't change 2000 odd years of evolution.
Back in the day, at the disco, flashing lights, bloody loud music, your eyes would roam and eventually settle on someone you were attracted to; a physical attraction. Thats always how it starts. It was always my bad luck that once I had asked (shouted) at her if she wanted to dance and she had accepted, "My Sharona" was just finishing and then they played something by The Partridge Family. So she never got to see my moves and inevitably we would drift away. Better luck next time, but never give up. Never, ever give up. One day...
There was a survey done on what men and women look for in the first 2 seconds. Men: face, bosom. Women: face, crotch.
As I said, you can't change evolution.
Of course as time goes on, personality will become ever important, but, oh those first 2 seconds...!

Imagine knowing a cold old bat like that!

Attraction is a must I’m afraid and to an extent the personality too. For example if you don’t find someone attractive could you kiss and cuddle them.Could you even contemplate sleeping with them? For me it’s a big NO NO. Someone’s personality could have some traits you don’t really like yet some which you find more appealing then you could still have a fun and fulfilling relationship with. I’m sure I’m not the only one on here who thinks along those lines. Hope it helps and good look.

Secret, unfortunately the nature of Internet dating is that it absolutely stinks for 95% of men. This particular site is one of the worst.
Women here are taking a risk and are super, super, SUPER picky about who they engage with. That doesn't mean you won't find someone, but it does take a particular technique and a LOT of graft.
It's not something you want to do if you are down in any way. You need to be in a good place to ignore the usual suspects who will tell you that "It's exactly the same for women" (it isn't) and that you "need to get over it".
Be strong, brother.

Personally speaking, or in this case writing, I have no trouble connecting with females using the written word and everything going well. Then comes the big PW reveal and the stock reply if "you're not my type" or "I'm not attracted to you". We can't change what we look like. I'm not a bad looking man and everyone I know socially likes me, but of course attraction is irrelevant in that scenario. This is always assuming that a female would actually have the good manners to respond to my messages, even to say no thanks, as most do not which is frustrating. What's a 6'2" brown haired, blue eyed boy supposed to do?

The studies over and again reach the same conclusions so clearly aren’t’nothing’ otherwise they would find differing conclusions
Another example is they had hot guys use lines on women who were then surveyed as to how they describe them. Typically they were described by the women as confident/ attractive/ cheeky and other positive ways
Then they had ugly guys do the same; the descriptions came back as ‘creepy / wierd / offensive’
Etc
So try as some might to pretend looks dont matter, they do in most online dating apps where women get significantly more appoaches than men
Btw for the record I’m not bitter, I have a very hot wife and exes, and unlike others have great marital sex
Im on here for a specific sexual need

There’s a famous study carried out by I think it was Google or FB, called ‘A Thousand Wicked Thoughts, which compared the sexual search terms used by men and women.
The top 5 for men were predictable, but quite different for women.
The top 5 searches by women included Vampire.
So the point is womens sexuality seems to built around quite dark dominant dark triad traits where masculinity is the key driver. Always exceptions of course, I see women on here specifically ruling out dominant type sexuality or aftet much younger men.
One thing I want to get across to men is sex and exotic desire is very much heightened if u can properly tap into the darker side of many (not all) women. Also by being suggestive, anticipation building, blunt sometimes, different and not into pantomime porn type narratives u will increase desire and trigger deep feelings
Dont be too nicey and Beta and a weak petitioner

The point about Love Island is that you see attraction psychology in action regardless.
It’s striking how women will all reject the same guy for nit being sufficiently masculine in character and looks. Often male models do badly as women say they aren sufficiently masculine or bad boy

Internet dating for women is 1000% about the looks. If you aren't attractive, you're gone.
Yes you may get on fantastically but women know that there is a long line of men queuing up at there door, at least some of which will be both interesting AND attractive.

I can definitely fall for someone just for their personality, wit, and warmth. It's happened before, it'll happen again! Looks are fine initially, but I'm more personality driven and someone's looks can, and will appeal to me more when I know and like them more through how they have gelled with me.

I agree that is has to be a bit of both, unfortunately whether you think it is shallow or not,there needs to be an initial attraction, I think I have said before it does not mean it has to be perfect, but when I look a photo I have to think yeah there is something. I took a chance on a really pleasant looking guy, was not really my type(going via looks), but the chats we had had I thought, he is funny&charming &a bit cheeky. A glass of wine after work,20 mins top have a pleasant chat make my excuses &leave, nope one glass turned into two more-the chat &flirting was just flowing &then a year long affair ensued.
My current IE - thought he looked very cute, when I met him - his photo did not do him justice, much cuter in real life and again - a quick drink after work (I was on fizzy water as had the car) turned into a couple of hours or chatting &flirting &knowing there was a definite attraction - again if he had been good looking but the conversation had not been flowing would I have stayed? Prob not

In real life when finding a partner both.
Online it's hard to judge who someone really is. Really shy people can type amazing words but hardly ever speak them.
Confident witty people can come off as cocky.
Meeting someone irl when you look in their eyes and they in yours, you both know that second if you are going to fuck.
But then again my friend asks his wife 15 times to clean the car out.

Personality is most important to me - it’s not just the face, it’s how you wear it, if that makes sense.
Gregg85 - 25 Aug, 2022 - 10:39PM
Both! Starts with looks and transitions to personality over time. You can’t rush that bit and it’s finding about about someone, their interests, their background, their desires and their secrets which makes dating so fun. After 3 dates If I don’t want to know everything there is to know about a girl then she’s not right for me.

What goes on in Love Island is completely irrelevant to this site.
As are surveys, statistics say X% of men/women prefer this, that or the other, that you keep mentioning. It means nothing.
It only takes one, he/she might not be here but you never know!

It's difficult to answer in a way. For me, someone's voice alone can sometimes be enough to cause an attraction to them. Or a simple unexpected touch that gets the mind going. Personality is great, but sometimes that personality is only enough to ever be friendship and nothing more. I think with an affair, if you're going to risk it all, then you still need that something that makes it worth it. I think it's overall chemistry. You need a mix of both. And there's definitely no specific formula.

attraction initially is super important if you can’t imagine yourself kissing a person then it’s a definite no, but that said personality is everything and can overcome any obstacle, because if you really like someone and they make you laugh, you’ll forget the rest :)

Reality shows like Love Island demonstrate time and again looks are of course the starting gun but no matter how physically attractive it soon sours if there’s o mental / chemistry flowing connection
There was a sculpted Scottish hunk in this yrs series who all the women fancied but every time it fizzled out as he lacked easy going banter and was just too polite so the womem didn’t desire him, couldn’t imagine him flinging them on the bed.
That last point is about raw masculinity and confidence. Too many ‘nice’ guys come across as a-sexual , like they think being ever so accommodating and to the letter progressive is the key to a womens bedroom. Definitely not.

I've met a few from here (been off and on the site for about 14 years) and although it's nice to meet a stunningly attractive woman, that isn't always the be-all and end-all.
In fact the least fun time, was with someone who was 5'10", she had an extremely fit body, with large natural breasts but was quite boring to be with (not just in bed) because she was more in love with herself, than being interested in the men in her life.
The best, by some distance, was overweight, average looking, yet interesting to talk with and could keep me going in bed for hours. We had an affair for nearly two years and quite amazing sex.
Personally, I just need to like her and the rest follows naturally.

Of course if someone is an absolute bore it doesn't matter what they look like but finding someone attractive is still important.
Not sure that men really care.How many men would be happy with a ditsy young woman without a couple of brain cells rubbing together, as long as she looks good, probably plenty!

Personality's paramount for me. While physical attraction plays a part, I'd much rather have a relationship with someone who I can have absorbing / humorous conversations with but is unattractive than "a stunner" that I just don't click with
1536788 - 25 Aug, 2022 - 12:12PM
Too much emphasis in society as a whole these days is placed on appearance.
Image above substance is never going to be the basis of a long term relationship (even for an affair).
If you’re one of these people that’s just here looking for notches on the bedstead then looks are going to win hands down.
But if you’re looking for more of a connection then personality becomes increasingly important.
It’s a bit like beer goggles - if you get on with somebody really well then you’re less fussy about looks.
Beauty starts from within.

The second scenario never happens - at least not in my experience.
If they don't like the look of you then it ends immediately, no matter how well you clicked before. People want someone they are attracted to and also click with. It's never either/or.

I believe that you have to take both into consideration. I have found that some people want a pw immediately, which makes me uncomfortable as I am on here to be discreet. If someone should pique my interest by stimulating me mentally, I will only proceed with the additional risk of revealing myself, but then again maybe that's just me.

If I like someone enough the bandwidth of what I find attractive invariably increases. On the same basis I've always found internet dating difficult, as seeing someone 'animated' is often so different than just a photo. Then again I'd call myself a 'Sapiosexual', so if I like the mind the physicality is less important anyway.

They both matter obviously. Personality has to me matched with some kind of physical attraction. You know, it is possible not to be immediately attracted to somebody, but once you get to know them a bit and realise they are on the same wavelength as you, you look at them in a different light.

I did the same, I was fed up with a few bad dates and just not clicking with guys and thought this guy looked nice but not really my type, but we had had great conversations so thought - O blow it just meet him for a glass of wine on the way home from work - worse case you have a glass of wine and go home, we totally clicked and ended up in a wonderful affair that lasted a year - So I do agree until you really meet in person you don't really know how it will go. I think meeting for a coffee/drink there is no harm.

What someones race or ethnic background has got to do with the price of eggs is beyond me although I've got to say I would be far more inclined to fancy a black girl describing her self as curvaceous since I feel their natural physique carries it better than others.
In the end being a nice person isn't governed by race, religon, politics or looks and that what matters most.

@Lorelai Gilmore
To me a woman - or anyone for that matter - 'looks after themselves' by presenting themselves exactly how they wish to - that is, not offering excuses as to why something about them is not different to how it it. That obviously includes things like their weight, their general appearance , their level of hygiene ( i guess it has to be said ), and their choice of clothes. Of course, this goes for everyone, men included.
You have to take people on face value and if they are telling you that what you see is not what they want it to be then you might have to conclude that that (tsunamis, downpours, and acts of God aside) is solely down to them - otherwise they have looked after themselves ....

I agree and find it quite depressing some people think this way. From a purely asthetic veiw point I think the general perception is that people of mixed race form the prettiest percentage of humanity since they often combine the best attributes of different races. Personality is the most enduring attribute in the end.

The only people who find race an issue are the people who find race an issue.
If one personifies any negative stereotypes that go with that race, then that belongs to the perception of the beholder and there is nothing you can do about it. It is their preference. What I find objectionable is that people use the race card and keep honing in on it, either to guilt the other party into a meet (I have experienced this), or charm them into one (stereotypical fascination gets really tiring).
Definitely keep to @P99’s golden rule. Personally I have come to IE with an open mind, to meet lovely men of all colour and creed, and am glad to say I have so far managed to do so.

Hi Paula99,
You say don't mention race but I think it's important that we all realize that it subconsciously plays a part in our dating lives in the same way as being tall or fat plays a part in how others precieve us. I think what I'm saying is when weve been talking to someone and we like their personality but we reject them when we see their picture because they are 'too cuddly' or 'too ethnic' we need to check ourselves and realize that real change starts with us.

The elephant in the room is the question when do preferences become a sign of racism?

Great question!
For me personality is extremely important because I’m interested in relating with an individual - for me the personality is a huge part of who they are. I also accept that looks are important as there needs to be some attraction / chemistry……but personality rules for because I’d rather spend time with someone who stimulates me on a platonic level……..a beauty and no personality don’t excite me.
PS: as we all mature it’s important that we try to maintain healthy lifestyles for our physical and mental health but we can’t control ALL the effects of the ageing process

Being in your fifties and having mature features isn't a barrier to being attractive.
Whether we are not the youngsters we used to be or not, we can still take care of ourselves and make the best of ourselves.
Everyone gets older, it's no excuse for letting yourself go, especially when you come onto a site like this.
haresh - 02 Aug, 2022 - 08:57PM
Looks are important, but photos are not always a good guide.
Myself, I am just not photogenic, end of. I always appear with a daft grin, or contorted face, I just can't pose for them.
One lady asked me if I was good looking. I actually told her I was dog ugly and women puke upon seeing me, just joking of course.
She blocked me.
I don't take pictures too seriously. In our 50's we are not the youngsters we used to be, we have mature features. So it is really a mix for me.

Its just certain factors do it for me...😜

You're absolutely right.
It is a bit.of a contradiction proving that nobody is perfect, least of all me.
I don't pretend to be perfect
But the subject was looks as in appearance, or so I thought.
And I'm not really looking for the most handsome men especially.
I do however have a real preference for much taller and athletic men.
But personality might potentially persuade me others as it has preciously.
Shoot me now if you wish.

Sadly we all can be a little bit shallow on here as initially when we share pics we are instantly judging or being judged on our looks.
In the past I've met people who are so much more attractive than their pictures but personality wise not for me. I've met people and found no spark at all even though they seemed great.
Just don't rush into anything and take your time. The only way to truly know if they are for you is to meet up.

Looks are skin deep, they could be Miss World or Mr Universe and have the personality of a gnat. Usually when you are out and about and you see someone and it's about looks first and foremost. On here its a bit different as someone said you cannot go by the picture's on here some are photogenic some on here there pictures don't come out well.
If you have any kind of attraction follow your gut give it a try no win no foul
Good Luck

At the end of the day, only meeting in person will either make or break the deal.

I think if the chat is going well, their situation, what they are looking for out of IE, and their availability are all a match, but you are not sure about the pictures.....then it's always best to meet and find out.
As others have said not everyone is at their best in their pictures, and people are so much better in real life.

There are some photos whereby you think ‘definitely’ not for me. And some that you might mull over. I’m still happy to chat though, if the conversation is good, and have met men based on this. But I do agree that personality and good conversation alone are not quite enough to embark on or sustain a physical relationship.

Your profile requirements and comments here seem to totally contradict easch other. What is your problem with average height "chubby" and obese males ???
"I won't meet smokers. It IS a deal breaker.
I'm partial to taller and athletic men but again, not a total deal breaker. Especially if you're funny and interesting to talk to.
But if you're CHUBBY, under 5ft10 and unfit, it's unlikely we'll be getting intimate, just so you know.
I have to like what I see.
Don't we all?"

to many people here and other dating sites are pursuing fantasies but a familiar line comes up in so many female profiles here, which is extremely disconcerting and off putting " I'm looking for an old fashioned gentleman who knows how to spoil a lady making her naughty in the bedroom" blah blah !!
Mad World - 01 Aug, 2022 - 10:33PM
You only have to look at the Love Islanders (the Italian has won, GET IN 🇮🇹🇮🇹) to realise looks rule.
If it was about personality there would be no Love Island in the first place

Both looks and personality matter but if you have chatted for a bit and after exchanging passwords there is no attraction there is no point in continuing.
I think someone else said that most people look better in person, that I would agree with, everyone doesn't take a good photo.
It's not like the other person is someone you know from work or a friendship group where, even if not your usual type feelings can grow.
As this is a dating site the photos are all you have to go on.
If you are going to embark on an affair I don't understand why anyone would just settle for anything.

The problem with this site is that it appeals to our fickle nature. When we see a picture that we don't immediately fawn over we all have tendency to think the grass is greener and move onto the next person. like most of us on here I don't have a perfect body but I'm pretty happy with what I have so I'm looking for someone who's also reasonably attractive but not necessarily perfect but after reading all the comments I'm going to commit to doing an experiment. I'm going to commit to going out on a date with the next person who has a nice personality irrespective of looks. Who wants to join me in this experiment?

You do need the initial attraction..when your brain says...omg he's hot 🔥...but most are..
Dull as dishwater with zero personality or brains
Looks fade and if you think that is going to hold you together you need to think again...and the sex is even worse 😖
If he worships himself ladies you have no chance..🙃

Like others have said - for me its not perfect looks that attract me but whether there is both chemistry and a certain 'something' there between us, and as such, this can't be define by a picture alone; it needs interaction. And, as I am not so desperate for sex that I'd entertain the thought of keeping a conversation going with someone who, for me, had none of the foibles and personality traits that keep me interested, no matter how attractive their body might be, it has to be both.

I always ask for early pw exchange - I do feel you need an initial attraction. However I’ve met with guys who may not be my usual type, only to meet and get on like a house on fire and have an attraction. I feel you never know until you meet……

It works both ways. Of course you need to like someone. You also need to find them attractive. But neither are binary. They're on a spectrum. A great personality can easily make up for "not quite to my taste" looks. It's harder, much harder, for perfect looks to make up for a less-than-ideal personality. All IMHO, of course.

Looks matter. It’s the number 1 aspect.
I might be Clooney’s double or Pitts twin brother but if you find me unattractive then all the personality in the world won’t make up for it.

Really interesting. I read somewhere that men go into affair, often not with the most attractive female, but one who can listen and be responsive to them.
I suppose females are like that too. Humans need to know they are wanted.

I'm not worried about looks as long as the individual has impeccable hygiene and manners. I've met some extremely attractive men over the years. Some were quite elegant and gentlemanly. A few were arrogant entitled sods with disgusting breath. So no, I would date Frankenstein (the monster not the doctor) as long as he shaved, brushed his teeth, showered and cleaned his fingernails.

I used to work with a young model, half my age, when I was married and had a house filled with my young family.
I was frumpy I guess, I was exhausted from looking after everyone else.
She was almost 6ft tall and stunning.
Her equally stunning, rugby playing fiance was 6ft5, sensitive, worked outdoors, worked long hours and into the weekend.
For her 21st birthday party he worked extra hours for a whole month to treat her to some extra special gifts.
He bought her a designer lipstick that cost him almost 1 weeks wage.
But he thought she was worth it.
On the night of the party, she looked amazing.
He asked her for a kiss at the party because he thought he loved her.
She refused, saying "Do you know how much this cost?"
He wasn't her boyfriend for much longer.
He cried on my shoulders, telling me he wished he wasn't sucked in by her vanity.
And readers, yes, years later, he married an unattractive woman and we are still friends.

I've realised over the years looks don't really matter. Yes it helps if there is a physical attraction, but looks can change, and it's harder to change a personality.
I suppose I'm lucky I don't have a "type" looks-wise. If the chat is amazing and they look fab too, that's a bonus to me. Was very lucky to meet one lady from here who had both the chat and looks.

I normally ask for the PW after three -four messages. Attraction forms part of I want to have sex with them. I also think it's rude when you share your PW and don't hear anything back 🤪

Fair question and reasoning, shared by many I suspect. My photos are crap, they always have been, but in person I’m rocket fuel - lol
I’ve also met (not on here obviously) others who had un-flattering photos but looked amazing when we met… and of course vice versa. Very attractive but vacuous individuals. So I suppose not right or wrong answer. I would just go with your intuition.

I think it’s really individual - if I’ve had great chat with someone, I’m not going to go off them because of looks (assuming they’re not Shane McGowan or Bernard Manning). But equally, there’s no harm in sharing passwords early - if someone is going to go off me, I’d rather they did so quickly before the RSI from typing sets in. After all, this isn’t Illicit Penpals :-)

Both! If it was just about looks I'd save a lot of time and potential upset by going to a sex worker. But it's because the idea of emotionless and transactional sex is unappealing to me that I'm slowly dipping my toe in here.
But of course physical attraction is important. Nevertheless, I'd much prefer someone less close to my aesthetic ideal but closer to my sexual and mental ideal.

I don't buy into the myth that men are more aroused visually.
Because it isn't all men.
There are some men, loads of men, who don't drool over every female that passes them by.
I believe it's called self control.
Women were taught to be more modest in the past.
I know it's learned behaviour that can be overruled.
Oh and by the way, there are several studies to back this up.
https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/men-not-more-visual-or-easily-aroused-than-women-research-shows/
I married a very traditionally ugly man and he was the nicest, kindest, most considerate man I ever met. Then he died.

1536995 - 01 Aug, 2022 - 01:04PM
I do agree with most of the comments. because I respect the view of others AND quids in, for those that have been arsed to reply.
for me, its the looks. Men are very visual. we eat with our eyes, we all know what sexy is and it has to satisfy a deep desire often fantasy
I also appreciate that us blokes so need to be more open ...... !
FluffyClouds - 01 Aug, 2022 - 12:32PM
It needs to be both for me. I need to be attracted to them and get a sense of compatibility in the conversation. That's why for me there has to be a pw swap earlier in the conversation.
I suppose it depends on how much 'not really your type' they are. We all know what we like within reason. Sometimes, it seems great in messaging, but when you meet there's just no spark or sexual attraction. Personally, what's the point of trying to force something that's just not working for you?
Yes, you can become attracted to someone you may not have initially have thought yourself to be, but that usually happens with someone you see regularly such as in a workplace and over a long period of time.
Just my opinion.

Both, but both are subjective! Everyone has different tastes. Even with a fabulous connection, if there is absolutely no physical pull, it turns into friendship. However, if the person isn't your physical 'type' they can turn into the most insanely desirable person you've ever known when the mental connection is on fire! But I wonder if that works for both men too, or is a typically female thing? Apparently men love through the eyes whereas women love through their ears??! (Kinky sex comments commence...)

Re chatting to someone for ages and upon the great reveal find there’s diddly squat in the feeling stakes.
Yes it’s happened before but what’s even worse is someone who turns up with bad teeth, extra timber etc etc
Lessons learnt:
- Get the photo out the way sharpish. Absolutely nothing wrong with that to avoid future issues
- Ask for a full length photo
- Ask for teeth to be on view
- No sunglasses. The number of women who send you 2/3 pics with sunglasses on is an immediate alarm bell.
It’s not exhaustive but the above is a start.
Good luck.

Undercoverlover -
You say sexy isn't in a set of abs, yet your profile pic clearly shows you with abs in a provocative pose.
I've had an attractive ie from here and he was great in bed. I've had attractive boyfriends, no complaints from me.

I honestly since first coming here put little emphasis on looks. I have found the best looking aren't the best lovers, sexy isn't in a set of abs, at least for me, I'm sure others feel differently.
