Theweave, you are really hilarious, you know that? Did you NOT notice that in your original post you stated , "I told her that I saw her picture and I liked it." Well, isn't that something? Oh, I mean well isn't that shallow? Oh, it's only shallow if SHE says it. Totally hilarious.
Yes, it is true that some people place an inordinate amount of attention on physical appearance. Then I would say that that person might be called shallow. On the other hand, physical beauty is considered to be a valuable commodity in many cultures and so it is not unusual for someone to expect either an "equal" exchange of beauty so to speak. Or an exchange for something of equal value, for example, "lots of money".
This is the way of the world theweave, whether you like it or agree with it or not. This is the way it's been throughout the ages.

Identify this for what it is: an online dating phenomenon, NOT an epiphany that "All women are shallow." Learn from it and move on.

Humans are intellectual AND physical creatures so it is silly to dismiss the importance of physical attraction. Save yourself some heartache in the future by posting a photo with your profile so your matches can have a 'picture' of the WHOLE you before choosing to communicate.

Remember, you don't really have a "connection" until you have met face-to-face with your on-line match. The purpose of all the communication up until that point is just to feel 'safe' enough with each other to meet. The goal is to meet face-to-face.

I read the first 3 pages and then decided to post, seriously.

Now I see the thread has gone to the nostrils.

How the heck did that happen? (Oh yeah, I forgot, we're shallow, right?)

{For the record, mine are assymetrical too!}

Seriously, how can you tell? LOL.

I'm with Trixie. Nostil is an inherently funny word. If you pair it with "symmetrical" it becomes a mini poem in iambic pentameter.

This doesnt mean all women or shallow, nor does it say that she is shallow. We are a visually stimulated society in every aspect...she simply didnt feel attracted to you. I am sure you have come across a female or two that you werent attracted to as well.

I disagree with you. We are doing what we were born to do. That's not being shallow; that's following the genius that is nature.

Avatars, well you can always get a comical picture
and throw it up on your avatar!

Best,

Seriously... if either gender is predisposed to being "shallow", it has to be men. We are 95% visually aroused, and nearly every industry in the world plays on it.

Sorry but these questions would be an instant turn-off. They make it seem like you have a chip on your shoulder (the nice guy complex). I would not be using these questions going forward.

As for why women are shallow - women aren't shallow. The question you should be pondering is why do some people find some people attracted and others they do not? We all do this - we aren't attracted to everyone, only a select few. Why? Who knows - but we all do it. No one is free of not finding someone attractive. It happens - you do it too, just like the rest of us do it as well. It is what it is.

Why people get offended when the shoe is on the other foot, I don't really understand?
This is one of the best responses out there.

Honestly, people are attracted to the people they're attracted to for all sorts of reasons, looks being just one of them. Sometimes a woman will be faced with two men who are, by social standards, incredibly attractive, but she may only feel attracted to one of them. It's a combination of features, attitude, and how a person presents themselves, and body language is HUGE. If you walk, talk, move, shift, blink, and nod a certain way, certain people are going to respond to it.

And being attractive doesn't automatically mean you find the love of your life. I've quit dating entirely simply because the way I look and the way I am inside are so disparate (i.e. I attract a lot of men who are NOTHING like me and who are never interested in the same thins as me. I have no idea why, only that maybe I send out a signal that these men respond to, but once we get t know each other its just a complete no go.)

The best approach that I've found is to become friends with people and not even worry about the romance aspect of it. If there's chemistry there it'll click, and meanwhile you've got a relatively safe and unchallenging relationship to get to know someone in, and sooner or later that chemistry will explode into an actual relationship. Why waste all your time fishing through pretty women when 9 times out of ten they'll probably be wrong for you anyway, or you them? Wait and cultivate the good stuff.
