Posting the most flattering picture possible alongside one’s profile may seem a legitimate part of the internet dating game.
But if new research is to be believed, those who try to level the playing field by using photos which disguise their worst features could be wasting their time.
According to a university study, women can still identify a physically attractive man just by reading his profile.
It found good-looking men were able to convey their confidence and attractiveness in their written self-description – and that women volunteers were able to recognise their beauty without being shown the lonely heart’s accompanying photograph.
Men whose photos were rated as attractive had written profiles that were also deemed to be attractive, despite words and images being rated by different judges, the study by Villanova University in Philadelphia, U.S., found.
Academics asked 50 female university students to examine profiles and pictures of 100 men aged 22-25 who had posted on a popular dating website.
The students were each given 25 of the photographs, and asked to rate how attractive they found each man if they were considering him for a date, short-term sexual encounter or long-term relationship. They were also asked to consider how confident and masculine he seemed from the picture.

I had a friend who's sister had the most beautiful voice
I think I've ever heard. Not like she was trying to be sexy
or anything, it was just natural. I used to call the guy
just hoping she would answer the phone first and I'd get to
listen to her for awhile! I asked her once if she sang and

My Dad always said....”Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...and the mind of the warped”
ain't that the truth...
