Online Dating: Beauty Is In
The Eye Of The Beholder
by Marvin Perry
Weired things can happen on first dates.
You may trip over your feet while walking with your date. You may have
a bad hair day. Or you may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
These things can leave a lasting impression on your dates, it may be good,
bad, funny, or irritating. But not in online dating where first impression
is in your control.
In online dating, you take control of the
first shot to initially impress another person. How? Well, by providing
a picture in your profile. Physical appearance is really important and
it plays a huge role in online dating. Besides, you do not want to talk
to ghosts.
Some people may think it is irrelevant
to show their online dates how they look. Perhaps, they are embarrassed
of how they look. They fear the initial reaction of rejection upon seeing
their picture, and they want daters to see within first and ignore physical
features.
Others may think that it is not a safe thing to do or scared of being stalked
by unlikable individuals. Others may also think it is not really important
at all. They think their profile can already impress and attract individuals
of their preference. Few seem to have no recent picture at all. Besides,
would it not be funny to post your high school picture when you're already
past 40?
You must realize that posting a picture
in an online dating site is a big leap towards finding your dream date.
Physical appearance is important. I am not saying that you need to have
that Angelina-Jolie lips to have a Brad Pitt-like hot date. My point is
that a picture is very important because it shows the other person what
you look like. You do not have to be the ideal beautiful girl or handsome
guy to get a nice picture or to let other daters contact you. A nice picture
is any picture that is taken when you look your best. It is something recent,
not deceiving and vulgar. It may look simple to you but may exude a certain
kind of elegance for other daters.
Even if your profile is outstanding, many
people will question why you have not posted a picture. They will start
to make speculations, bad judgments, or remove you from their list of prospects.
And, of course, you do not want such things to happen.
Deceiving online daters may at times post
another person's picture. This does not sound good, especially when you
find yourself falling in love with the other person you have been communicating
with already. Worst, if the feeling is mutual, this is definitely a big
problem when you meet up.
Any explanation afterwards will not help
you get out of the situation or get back to that mutual attraction. Besides
your physical appearance integrity also counts in online dating.
