"You can't judge a person or decide if you like them or not just through messages and pictures. You have to meet in person, shake hands, have a chat, get to know someone a bit. " I have to agree with the OP although it doesn't always apply, I've had meets where ladies were more impressed with me in the flesh and they admitted it. My profile might be boring and the pictures maybe not so imaginative but that just goes to show u can't always judge by pics and profile. Especially with the number of fake people. | |||

It's just an opinion otherwise, which is fine, but to state an opinion with "did you know" and present it as a fact seems rather arrogant to me. It will colour anything else you say. And thus, the way people appear online affects whether people wish to meet them. Especially as many, if not most, people here are looking for people to fuck, rather than lifelong friends. | |||

"I tend to use a combination of reading profiles thoroughly, looking closely at profile pics for evidence they've been lifted from a Lithuanian porn site, the random ramblings some may post in the forums - as well as the psychic powers I inherited when bitten on the arse by a radioactive mosquito whilst holidaying in Chernobyl last summer! That and a highly trained team of investigative monkeys that will do background checks via government databases and stalk any potential meets for a week on my behalf! Saves me a fortune in coffee and hand shaking! " It also gives you time to shake other things with those hands of yours. | |||

I think his point is everyone he's interested in should meet him before deciding whether they want to play. Since the OP has complained previously at a lack of interest in meeting him, this seems like him saying more people should be meeting him because otherwise they aren't judging him fairly. | |||

"As this is a swinger's site I presume that by 'like' you mean 'fancy". So if you received a message from a woman which told you she weighed eighteen stone and enjoyed tossing the caber at weekends, with attached pictures showing that she was indeed extremely fat, had a hunchback, a luxuriant beard and anchor tattoos on her very muscular biceps, would you need to meet her in order to know whether or not you fancied her?" The same woman has been hassling me for a meet Somebody should report her, how dare a fat, ugly, tattoo'd, bearded, Amazonian woman try to procure sex on a swingers site, it's disgusting!! | |||

If however the man came back and said it was a scientific study and he has the evidence you desire then my opinion might change. | |||

" No but you disagreed that I should disagree with what the OP posted, or at least implied it with the I'm entitled to my opinion too, especially, as unlike the OP, it is an opinion and not a post telling others how they should think and behave. I dislike the implication in the original post that by not meeting everyone before forming an opinion of them, I'm "doing it wrong". I took the post as it was written, with the prior knowledge of what the OP has posted, rather than assuming he didn't actually mean exactly what he said. If that's pedantic, so be it. | |||

"You can't judge a person or decide if you like them or not just through messages and pictures. You have to meet in person, shake hands, have a chat, get to know someone a bit. " I agree that the forums are one way of getting to know a person and I have not been disappointed with those I have seen on here and met in person. Equally, it is possible to get to know a person through (several) email exchanges, phone calls etc. All add up to an overall impression which is confirmed (or revised) through meeting in person. I my experience I have not met many people who are vastly different from their online persona. Perhaps I have been lucky. | |||

"But yes, I am probably taking this a bit personally. I hate being told how to think, especially when I see the OP as another whiney, albeit veiled, post about not getting meets. No cake though." But, how do you know he isn't talking about a gal he met? He may mean that she seemed nice on her profile and when msging, but turned out to be a bunnyboiler! | |||

"Well, i for one just took the post to mean 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Which is very true!" But if they do not match your preferences, or show a bias in the way their profile is written or even an outright bigotry would you spend you (often limited) meeting time meeting someone you doubt you will get on with/click with/lust after? I get lots of replies to my polite no thank yous telling me that they know they'd be able to please me. Am I not entitled to know that I don't fancy them/consider some of their opinions offensive based on their profile, pics and (if they post) their posts? | |||

Of course i wouldn't waste my time if our preferences didn't match up! That isn't judging people, its just common sense! But, the op stated 'after msges and pics' so i'm assuming that there must have been some sort of attraction in the first place! | |||
