While I agree that there is such an idea as someone being photogenic or not (there is actually some science behind it), by looking at a picture, one can still ‘weed out’ people who are clearly unattractive. It may sound rough, because it is. I didn’t say that I use pictures to pick out the most good-looking woman, but yes, I will say no to someone whose picture is unattractive to me. I have neither the time nor the koach to go out with every single girl suggested, and this is one of the ways of whittling the suggestions down.
Pumper, I can’t say I appreciate your sarcasm. I was adding my personal opinion and don’t need to be attacked for it. I assure you that all normal guys will absolutely judge you based on your photograph. A solution I see, if you look so horrible in pictures, is to refuse to send any. One possible problem is that some may wonder what you’re hiding.
