Poll 25: How crucial are photos?

We want to be loved and accepted for who we are, not for extrinsic stuff. Or is physical attraction the first thing? This month, let’s find out with a poll.

If I like a profile but the photos are unclear, not posted, or set to show on a later stage, I usually

    Let’s face it… photos are vital. Questionnaires only provide enough information to find out if two people would get along as friends… There’s no way to measure the passion without photos. I wouldn’t want to spend my time having no idea if I’d feel passion for a match, or if they would feel passion for me. The worst is when we get along and then find out that the chemistry just isn’t there between us.

    Online dating has come a long way, and there is no longer a strong negative stigma attached to it, as there was in the past. People can easily justify it now… The bad economy, busy working, trying something new… there are many reasons why people turn to online dating. Rather than feeling embarrassment, we should embrace it. It’s more embarrassing to spend hours and hours at a club with limited opportunities, when you can join the millions of online daters and greatly increase your chances! Your neighbor, co-worker or ex will all eventually understand. :)

    However, this fact does Not give a company the right to toy with us… so eHarmony, we need more transparency and integrity from your service. Provide us with that, and you’ll continue to be successful while also being able to sleep better at night.

    I am willing to Photo Nudge assuming the Profile looks like the person is actually an active member.

    (A whole lot of Photo-less Profiles with little info in them are just people that signed up on a whim, found out they couldn’t see Photos without paying, and left EHarmony forever with no intention of coming back).

    I will NEVER EVER Initial Contact, or move past the Photo Nudge stage until there is a Photo.

    Period.

    Now, up until last year, they had an option for people to “Hide” their Photo until a later Stage.

    (EHarmony got rid of that option, thankfully)

    I absolutely despise that option, as you are guarenteed that that Match is a game-player.

    Go Away.

    For those Matches, just to let those people know how digusted I am with that game, I will Close them, with *EVERY* Close option checked.

    Thankfully, those “grandfathered in” Matches are few and far between now.
