We have heard it said time and time again that men are visual by nature. As it turns out women have become fairly visual as well. With Internet dating on the rise, many people are relying on online profiles and email photos to get a look at the person they are chatting up. Many have said often the photos are better than the real person once they finally meet face to face. Women seem to lose a few pounds in their photos and very often men seem to lose a few years.

Has meeting your true match become like catalog shopping? If you don’t see the complete perfect item click on to the next? Abdominal muscles or glued on eyelashes may be all it takes to bring you together… but what’s going to keep you together? Since meeting your true mate not only relies on visual attraction it also relies on scent and pheromone to select the one for us, how can just a web photo be a good indication of matching?

Some web sites work on a basis of visual appearance only. Are you hot or are you not? The problem with hot is a lot of people are getting burned. Men sometimes are feeling cheated that the online hotties don’t really want them because they are older and the women are feeling less and less interested in competing with 22 year old underwear model types for chubby, balding, middle aged male attention.

We know women are more accepting and forgiving by nature but we don’t come perfect out of the box anymore than they do. You can’t expect to get what you aren’t prepared to give. If you are looking for a hard-bod hottie, you’d better be one.

Love doesn’t really have anything to do will all of that madness. Liking someone isn’t so difficult. Put away your pre-conceived web-induced notions and meet some real people. You might be surprised to find that the amazing relationship you’ve always wanted isn’t an 8x10 glossy pin up poster, but a kind loving decent and fun human being, flaws and all.
