What's Your Most Attractive Online Dating Asset?
Our dauntless dating reporter asks: What's the one thing about yourself you think people are first attracted to when you communicate online?
|
When I first converse with someone online they are most attracted to my openness, honesty and light-hearted attitude. I try not to take things so seriously and give honest answers to all their questions. When I first meet someone in person they are most attracted to my legs if I have a skirt on.

When we meet in person I get compliments all the time about my style of writing. I Aced my college lit! I also get several compliments on being real and not trying to be someone that I'm not.

I think people are first attracted to your photos online. Then they will read about you in your profile. In person I think people are attracted to you first to see if you really look like your photo and also if you have chemistry outside of communicating online. That's a key. Some people can communicate well through the keys of their computers. However, once they meet, there is an awkwardness about meeting face-to-face and keeping the communication open.

I'd say the way I can carry sarcasm and humor over email. People always notice my dimples. I forget I have them sometimes.
|
|
Definitely, my fearless honesty. I get compliments all the time for the amount I have revealed in my description. I have allowed myself to be vulnerable and people respond to that. I believe it carries over when I meet someone in person as well. I think people are surprised about how open and real I am with just about anyone I meet.

My openness, clarity, and comfort with writing about what I want and look for in an attractive woman, mate, partner, and friend. When we meet in person, I think they sense my passion for life, confidence, and southern friendliness all wrapped up in a 6'4", 240 pound, manly package!

My sarcastic sense of humor. And, when I meet in person; they tend to look at my physical features.

My sincerity, confidence, and goofiness. I try to keep the chatting light and see where it could possibly lead to. Sometimes you could end up having a lot of fun with a new stranger friend just by chatting freely!

Online - that I'm not an oddball and very honest (within reason) with my responses. When we meet in person -- let's be real -- looks are the first attraction. Then you have to pray nothing crazy comes out of the other person's mouth as you get to know him/her better.

I have heard from plenty of guys that the woman they "think" they are communicating with, and the woman they ultimately meet, are not the same. In other words, there have been men who have said they are relieved that I am the same in person as I am in my emails. And, I look like my pictures. I have heard repeatedly that there are a number of people who try to portray themselves differently than who they actually are. My feeling is that to portray oneself in a somewhat dishonest light erodes the possibility of establishing a trusting and honest friendship or relationship. Ultimately it becomes a waste of everyone's time and efforts. I am very down to earth and people have commented about that to me when they meet me. Being oneself is, in my book, the best way to establish the groundwork for any kind of relationship, whether it is friendship or something more.

Online: Clear pictures and a profile that actually show some effort put into it to make it look like a real, multi-dimensional person is behind it! Offline: Eye contact, and good conversation with a lot of friendly laughter!

When we meet in person, the first I think people respond to is the picture and then the profile. After we've emailed for awhile I think my writing style might also be attractive. Also, when we meet in person it would have to be my witty personality.
|
|
My Personality. When you meet in person? Ahh, that would be my personality as well!
|
|
I've been told that the fact that I'm family oriented, Christian oriented and just a warm hearted, down to earth, simple woman with values and morals is attractive to the opposite sex. Once they meet me in person, they realize that everything I've written in my profile is true and more so.

Women are always first attracted to my sense of humor, I always try to make them feel comfortable. Laughter is the best way to do that. Once we meet in person, I have been told it is my smile and eyes.
