Shocking News: Looking "Too Good" Can Sabotage Your Online Dating Prospects!

Here's the story, read it yourself: OKCupid research reveals that better-looking gals have worse luck through the site. Since the story doesn't go too deep into the speculation, allow us to give you some ideas as to why this might be true:

1. Guys thinking "She's out of my league!" Guys have a very specific idea of what kind of woman will usually settle for them. They get rejected all the time. Years of yes-or-no feedback gives them great statistical data on their batting averages.

2. Guys thinking "She's too high maintenance!" The more mature gentleman knows that girl-next-door good looks will do just fine, but when you get into super-model territory, you know that with that hot body is going to come a requirement to work out all the time and stay on a restrictive diet - hardly the recipe for a fun party girl! It's a stereotype, but sometimes it's true.

3. Guys thinking "She's fake!" Let's face it, this is the era of computing when a suspiciously perfect photo may mean: (a) it's not yours, (b) it was a long time ago, (c) maybe you're a scammer, or (d) it's been Photoshopped. In this era of computer CGI blowing away every movie in the theaters and every photo on a magazine cover being airbrushed to robotic perfection, a few extra pounds and the occasional bad hair day or visible mole feels refreshingly... honest. True, you may be 100% legit and look like a movie-star anyway - but how do you assure them of that?

4. Guys who are genuinely into alternative ideas about beauty. Just like not every lady wants a man with washboard abs and a chiseled chin, not every man wants a perfect Barbie doll. There's even - God bless them! - a segment of men who prefer overweight women; they're called 'BBW' for 'big beautiful woman'. Other men are just a freak for a freckly face, dark hair, or plain-Jane 'girl next door' looks.

OK, don't go running out and try to make yourself uglier just based on one site survey! But take it for the encouraging news that just because you have one or two imperfections doesn't mean that you're out of the game.

  3. Online dating can be very exciting if you can learn the rules and use them wisely. Although online dating is very useful, it would not be able to do a lot if you are not careful enough. If your love life has been blocked for some reason online dating sites can be a great help for sure. You can find all the variety and spice to the excitement here. But if you're new to the system of online dating you need to know about certain factors.

  5. Number 3 is so true. I decided to go on a date with a women I met on Friend Finder and when we finally met face to face she looked like a older version of her pictures. I told her the date was over because she lied.

  6. So even the beauties have a negative when it comes to Online Dating. But do you really read a Profile and trust it?

  7. Good post. Yes i agree with what you say. In my personal case if i see a picture of a woman and she looks like a professional model i tend to think it IS!! but its not the girl on the profile but she stole the pic as this happens way to often. Another thing that gets me is men posing as women. I mean to each is own. If thats your lifestyle fine but don't trick heterosexual men into thinking your a "natural woman" With surgery and and modern technology its hard to distinguish the two!

  9. I have to agree, when the picture is too beautiful, they might think that the person in the picture is fake or was enhance by a Photoshop. The sad part is when they gave a conclusion that you will not like them because you are way too pretty for you waste your time with them. Well that's the sad part of online dating, so don't set your expectation so high and just be yourself.

  12. It does amaze me sometimes that guys forget that women are just as (if not more) self-concious than men! Us guys could use a good dose of sensitivity when it comes to stuff like this.

  17. not everyone in life is blessed with a gorgeous body and face. By using online dating, you have the chance to impress someone with your charm, humor, and sincerity before they see what you look like. By that time, you have them hooked, or at least interested.
