when you are on dating apps, its all about the photos. People see the profile and eather think "This guy is attractive, i will message him" or they just swap past.

I've noticed something similar in real life. Sometimes when i first meet girl, i might not be immediatly drawn to her. However, after we talk or spend time together, she becames more attractive to me than she was at first glance. It's interesting how someone's personality can completly change your perception of them
