Can a Photo Really Make all the Difference?

            So there you are, at your best friend’s party. From across the room you spot a person who sparks your interest. Hair is flowing, lips look moist and kissable and their eyes spell out nothing but desire. You’re drawn to this person and go over to chat with them to see if you can score your first date. What was it that drew you to them? Was it their fierce intellect on art? Maybe it was because they worked in the same industry you do. Get real!! What drew you to them was the initial attraction. That deep animal desire to obtain something you conceive as beautiful.

            We ask, how can you have that initial attraction if you don’t see a photo of someone online? Sure you can chat up a storm, have a great conversation, but in the end if you are not attracted to the person physically, a romance is not going to work out.

            Most online dating cruisers pass up profiles that don’t have photos. It’s been proven that profiles with photos tend to receive twenty times more invitations to chat. If you don’t have a photo posted, it’s like going on a blind date. Only, you’re the one that’s not blind. Sure, describe yourself all you want. You’re tall, blond, athletic build, but how many people do you think say that and actually are?

            When people log on to find someone they can have a lasting romance with, they want to see the whole package. They will see your photo and say “Wow! What a cutie!” and be more inclined to invite you for a chat. You will also find yourself doing the same thing. Even though you have the best intentions to give everyone an equal shot, you will find yourself giving priority to those that have a photo. You’re on a dating website to find the one for you, not a random person. You can find any random schmo in a bar. You want to find the whole package.
