Do people judge on looks, of course but women less so. How a profile is written can absolutely make a difference. It is your personality translated in to words.

- curiousdater 10y agoNah as bisexual guy and in my experience women are more judgemental then guys. They after all might procreate with you.
- greenhatman 10y agoMy experience is the same as yours, but there might also be a big difference between gay and straight guys. The dating pool is a lot smaller for gay guys. What percentage of people are gay? Like 5%?
- Consultant32452 10y agoJust to put some data on this phenomenon. Women rate 80% of men as less attractive than average. Oddly enough, they message them anyways. https://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-looks-and-online-dating/ https://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-looks-and-online-dat...
- szemet 10y agoAverage? That's ok. If it were median there would be some problem here though... ;) (e.g. If every men is the same, except one who is beautiful, than everybody is below the average but one.)
- Consultant32452 10y agoUhh, you can't have 80% below the median. That's impossible by definition.
- szemet 10y agoYes that's my point. But 80% below the average can be a valid/true valuation, no logical glitch here: If the "wisdom of the (female) crowd" says that's the case, then it may be true - so I don't see the issue here... So to clarify - your data says nothing about whether women are judgemental - they may be just realistic ;) If beauty is in the eye of the beholder than how can we argue them?
- curun1r 10y agoFrom what I've seen, women judge more on looks than men, but what they find attractive is far more diverse than men. OKCupid has some interesting data [1] supporting this. When you consider that most relationships form between people of a similar age, it follows that the man is compromising more on looks.
