Major difference putting pic in profile!

Now that my divorce was finalized (yippee!!!), i got brave & put my pics into my Match Profile. In the past, i had maybe 4 views a day, now? like 50+.


I wonder why you don't want to have your daughter know you are dating when you are? Is it a tradeoff on being upfront with your children versus "protecting" them?

As has been discussed here before, looks DO matter, esp. for men. When I do searches on Match or other sites, I only look at profiles with photos (I post my photo on mine).
Interesting how you put it for do not characterize me passing on a profile without a photo as "blowing off." It sounds like a personal rejection the way you state that...
When I search for a mate online, I rather not be narrow in my search but be open about the type of woman I want to at least start a conversation with. I believe I know only so much from the photo and profile.

Hi Mark - no, i see how it sounded that way, but its not what i really meant. I shouldnt have used that term. I just meant they were guys whom I had sent an email to (as an introduction, & telling them that I didnt have a pic in my profile but would be happy to send one if they were interested), & they either never answered, or declined or whatever. Thats what i meant by blowing off.
& yes, whether its wrong or right, looks do matter to most. I tend to side with it being ok b/c after all, you dont really want to put the feelers out there for someone & then find you arent attracted in the least. I would feel badly anyway. Thats why i too rarely contact anyone who i dont know what they look like.
How old is your daughter? I am confused how her father's stability affect her acceptance of you dating. Wouldn't be hard to hide your dating? Since it would be hard for her to accept you dating, would you consider waiting that semester before you date?
