Women are visual creatures too!

November 01 2012

Hello people. Given the many requests I receive from the ladies, for the showing of more “face pics”, and others wanting to see more “ body photos”, I beg the question : Are women as visual as men (or more), when it comes to online viewing of photos, especially face pics? Are men and women different in the way they see photos on a profile or indeed a prospective date? To me, I would rather get “the whole picture” by meeting someone, rather than too much photo swapping, to then later find disappointments on meeting up!! Further, I’m not as fussed about photos, as long as I get a guide as to who looks like what and will venture out to meet for coffee “in person” to authenticate the woman I am meeting, and to gauge “attraction” before sharing anything more intimate. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I was of the impression that women were drawn more by “feelings” and so, were drawn by the profile content rather than photos? I do understand that both men and women want to get an idea, visually, as to who they are interacting with, but it appears that women seem more determined to see a face pic, more so than men, before venturing out to meet up with a date?? Whilst men are supposedly more visual creatures, I also know that some men like the adventure of dating a woman, without even seeing the women’s photo. And yet women are supposedly “not as visual” are determined to see a face pic before even talking further to a man, let alone meeting for a date?? So ladies, please share your thoughts about the above questions. For the men out there, please share your thoughts and experiences on RHP.

    I won't even bother to exchanging emails if I don't see a face pic. I am attracted to a persons face or maybe it's something about their eyes? Sorry dude, if I don't like your face & you don't have a reasonable body I don't even bother to read their profiles. Oops am I bad? Meeka

    Well, as for feelings... Yes I want to know if you are smart, sensitive, funny, etc, Plus I want to know if you are a bloke who is just looking to put their dick in any hole. That is why women read profiles. We don't have feelings from a profile or from a meeting. That view point just annoys me. :( Besides men have feelings too right.... Horniness. That's a feeling right.

    is different,I have met quite a few people without seeing their photo first and sometimes when I have seen one they look nothing like it.I have even noticed on profiles here,that photos of the same person can look like two different people.Hmm now there's a thought,twofers..x R

    I'm not that visual, therefore body pictures don't mean much to me. "Good" looks are hardly as important to me as what a man says, does, writes etc. But from faces I find you can tell so much, just from someone's expression. (Anythingjustnow: love your photos. You look very kind)

"Fair enough :-) A sparke in someone's eyes can be a huge turn-on! There is nothing wrong with asking for a face pic, it's just that some people are not as photogenic as others, and look so much better in person. For example, I have been told on quite a few "first-up" meetings that I ......"look so much better in person"....lol......which is fortunate for me.....but what if you were a person who wasn't as fortunate????? :-)

    Yes women are emotional and men are visual, although here its more about sex and less emphasis on finding 'the one'   If i am wanting sex, yep I want a pic and generally I will be damn fussy with my eye candy that I am only going to use for sex.. Why bother about the emotional stuff when I am not in the mood to seek more than my own selfish needs and desires (yes insert eye roll here!)   If I am seeking a new FWB for ongoing fun, then I am less llikely to be asking for a pic straight up and more into getting to see if I like the person for a chat/coffee etc and less emphasis on the pic to begin with.   Also, well sometimes, I dont wanna chat I just wanna sit and perve profiles, just because, I can! ... BTW its a womans perogative to change our mind, several times a second if we want! hahahaha

Meeka agree here as well....theres no point going somewhere if you dont like what you see....we are of the opinion tho, that its the whole package that makes someone attractive or not....shame that people dont get that...and that being a 'nice guy' or a 'lovely woman' just isnt enough................oh, and any suggestion that women are less 'visual' than men....is way wrong.....if anything, women are much much more particular about what they see......and if they like it or not..........

I've never seen a cock or body that made me decide to fuck someone all on it's own, although I've seen cocks that made me decide NOT to fuck someone. The face is the decision maker.

    I have nothing against cock pics at all, I think women who won't even look at your profile if your cock is visible are a bit odd, particularly when many of them will also show a tit or pussy pic. Hilarious.

    starts with the face for me. The sparkle in the eyes, the expression, the lips, smile/teeth, jaw line. If all that works, then I will want to gaze down to the body, I don't start at the bottom and work up.I can read much about a persons character, mood, psyche from their face - so if they don't have a photo of it, I won't start chatting even if their profile sparks interest and ticks my boxes.If the face works visually and the profile works mentally/emotionally, then I am happy to chat. If chat works and we have a connection, then I am willing to meet.~It's just the way I roll~

    Have to agree... Some cocks should not be shown cause they are fugly. It's a turn off. Pretty harsh I know. Lol. It's the man and what I see in his face not his cock. Seriously, don't guys put cock pics up so that other guys can see them. The cock off? As a guest now I don't see the cocks... Can't say I miss them.

    an intellectual and emotional connection plus the person in question being physically attractive in MY eyes. I don't care what other people think they look like, if I find them attractive everyone else's opinion means jack shit to me.   However, I won't meet someone off the net without a face pic first. More for security reasons, I need to know exactly who I am meeting prior to the meet. I want full disclosure, because I offer it in return. I've got 2 babies I would rather not leave motherless because I wasn't careful enough with who I met or they werent who they said they were, blah blah.   Don't necessarily need a body pic because I'm not one to complain about a guy who only has a 6-pack and not an 8-pack!

    80 % of woman rely on the their eyes for their decisions , or fall for the players , lets see famous examples Shane Warne , Tiger Woods , Etc , women will accept being treated badly by good looking guys than treated well by ugly fuckers . Just my opinion

    security lol how do you tell about a person by their picture, fact most serial killers killers are on average attractive to woman or would be largely unsuccessful. So ladies question what's your experience , on average who has treated badly by above average looking guys as compared to average or below average

    The majority aren't here to make new friends (although that has been a delightful side to this experience) If I am going to take the time out to meet someone (spend time on hair, makeup, deciding what to wear, and the actual time taken out for the coffee, dinner etc) I would prefer there is a good chance we will hit it off in regards to attraction, the only way to ensure this is to see a face pic. Being a woman on here means you have alot of men to choose from, if I met everyone who messaged me I'd basically not have a life.

    I think females are more visual than males. To the OP you seem to have a fairly level head and observed a lot over time like myself.   From my own experiences and also from listening to women i've fairly certain females base nearly the entire package on the physical.   Listening to comments sometimes shocks me as women seem almost offended if they come across someone not blessed with looks. It may be a general comment about someone they don't even know....or the old "omg as if i'd go out with that' etc.   Also reading profiles where women state you must be above a certain height....be a certain type or size...be fit and athletic etc. If males write those type of things they are regarded as pigs, arrogant or ass*****.   Then i think about certain behaviour in life where everything is about the look of it for women...for example...does my bum look big in this....thats a lovely ring or pendant or earring....the house looks great and modern....those new shoes you bought are so hot looking. Guys never say that about anything we are much more basic.   The lucky guys that lucked in with good genetics can be complete pricks and women seem to go to them regardless...versus a decent, genuine honest guy that basically gets ignored or even left felt embarassed after a not so good rejection.   Just the reality i've found.

    "Enigmaoflove" and "Mischeviouslad" make some very valid points in their respective rights!   I would like to add that if women can assess the man.....purely on just face pics, which some may claim as superficial, then I am more confused and puzzled as to what is in people's heads???? OR they know something that the rest don't!! To be fair, I say this, whether I had stunning looks or not. But then again, this is RHP and perhaps only a small pond in the scheme of things.   Generally, I do understand that most people do make judgments on the face, the body and profile content (a virtual personality), but don't you think you are passing up some fantastic people, who are clearly judged on mere face pics. But then again, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" as the old saying goes.........!!

Being a woman on here means you have alot of men to choose from, if I met everyone who messaged me I'd basically not have a life". If the face pic presented .... is on "face value" a true depiction of the man......then good for you for screening it well and finding "online attraction" ! To me a face pic is only a guide....... I prefer to meet the woman first to assess the whole picture, (including their personality ) to see if there is any attraction in reality. For me, just face pics and on-line chemistry has on many occasions disappointed me, when meeting the woman in person. So it can be a case of "hit and miss" at times....lol. Saskia.... then again I understand that....being a woman in the RHP pond, means you can be selective in choosing from a "smorgasboard of men" with all their varying facial and bodily features! Pity for those ugly buggers then....??

    Quoting 'Enigmaoflove'   Also reading profiles where women state you must be above a certain height....be a certain type or size... Guilty of the height requirement, though there is nothing visual about this for me. I just like a man to be bigger and stronger than me, as it makes me feel little and protected. Maybe a little submissive. I do enjoy being pushed up against walls and thrown around a bit.

    EXACTLY...The face pic is a GUIDE. If I like a face, then have a chat, then decide from those two factors whether it is worthwhile (for both parties) to continue on to coffee or drinks. Generally after this process you can then decide where things go from there. I haven't yet had one of those disastrous meets where the person doesn't look anything like their pic, so am happy to continue with what works for me. It's a little less time consuming than meeting people and getting a surprise, or meeting someone who I am not really physically attracted to in the celluloid, only to find that even though he is lovely/funny or whatever, but alas I am not physically attracted to him. It just seems to make no sense.   Alot of the men when replying to topics in this vein talk about how if things don't work out, you can make a new friend if all else fails... I have to wonder how many of them though would continue on meeting the woman if he knew there was no chance of there being any sex involved. Think about it.   Miss Devious knows exactly what I mean. :)

    I personally find penis pictures to be off putting. Typical boys 'OMG PENIS!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!' *click* Men need to know that the head of their penis being the only thing in shot isn't appealing for some people.I like subtle pictures personally. Trying to figure out what they're hiding, or what they really look like is sexy. I do get upset when there isn't a face picture though as I'm all about looks. But we don't have face pictures so we can't really talkMrsSplicey

    Yup agree wholeheartedly with this. Why would women view men with less visual stimulation in mind than men view us? I prefer a picture but still love the way people describe themselves on thier profiles. This really is no different to any other marketing campaign where you are promoting yourself....think about it. Do you want $12/hr, no progression and zero opportunity or stand out from the "herd" and be in the run for $69/hr 😉, progress and opportunity?

    I will always want to see face pics and body pics (not the redhot ones) before meeting to see if I think i'll find the person physically attractive, otherwise there's just no point meeting them. It's much harder to get a sense of 'feelings' through exchanging emails than it is to decide if you find someone attractive. The 'feelings' stuff comes up when you meet in person and see if there's that spark or not.   Dida   xx

One's face (and therefore face pics) is very important...regardless of the level of investment in the meeting of the person, we connect with people firstly and primarily through the face... it's what you talk to, what you read expressions into, what you kiss (if all goes well), etc. It has to be shown up front (honesty) and it has to feel right (instinct)... The eyes are the window to the soul after all :)Sadey

    You may be surprised to learn that there are 412 different human emotions. But if you're a woman this may be obvious.The Sex ID eyes task asks you to match someone's eyes with their mood.Women are said to be better at distinguishing between the fleeting expressions that cross our faces every day. According to Professor Simon Baron-Cohen at the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University, this is because empathy comes naturally to women while men are wired to understand how things work.http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/articles/empathising_systemising.shtml
