lol No, it's totally a numbers game. They call it an attractiveness rating, but there was a bit more to it than that. They wouldn't give away their secrets, lest someone game the system, but it wasn't just about having a pretty face. I think some of it had to do with profile views and number of letters, in addition to the number of people who swiped. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the more you were on, the more they displayed your photo, so if that wasn't included, as in they used likes and not percentage of yeses versus nos, you'd wind up with more people liking you. I really have no idea how it was calculated, but there was more to it than approval from a group of questionable strangers.
I think I tried pretty much all the mainstream ones, and OKCupid was my favorite too. I didn't meet anyone "special" there, but I loved their Q&A because it helped me tell if the people I was meeting were really anything like me. I met so many cool people with similar personalities, but there was always a deal-breaker, like they weren't suited for someone with kids or were too far away. That was way better than eHarmony, which kept matching me with fitness buffs and personal trainers, or Match.com that never gave me anyone even remotely similar. :/
Good answer. And your right, what does it matter anyway as long as you have a partner who finds you attractive its irrelevant what anyone else thinks. My hubby found me attractive enough to stay married for 34 years. I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Im more attractive inside than out. I know I know, I must be unattractive then? Nope, not to me, Im very comfortable in my own skin. I like myself, no matter how I look. I sense you do too. ;D
The rule is no matter how good looking someone is sooner or later you have to talk to them. So physical beauty is low on the pole since it is fleeting.
You have to love yourself first before anyone will love you then they die. ;( Sorry, my hubby of 34 years just died last Halloween. He made me feel beautiful. ;)
I am soooo sorry carbon. I didn't know. It is wonderful you had time together and know you have friends here if you need them at any time. Love, Merlin
I hate almost every picture ever taken of me! So much so that when I first put my picture on a dating site I did so to warn people that I was not good looking!
You have a great smile with wild and crazy hair. It appears you are outside too which is big in my book. I like your look! I definitely say you are Well above average :)
I think I look alright. People tell me that I look friendly, that they like my half-Asian half-white look. I've been called "cute" before but I often don't see it. I've never disliked my appearance, though, just never thought too much of it.
