Expectations?

Hi, Has anyone else's expectations changed during lockdown? I previously looked for someone tall, dark and handsome yet the man I have been speaking to since April made me realise looks aren't everything!

@veronicasalmone that's exactly why I ask for pictures at the start and I want to see his first...it would be mortifying to send mine and then find out I know the man!

Haven’t chatted to a woman yet who hasn’t quickly asked for pics. Tells it’s own story really


Your profile is quite specific about what you're looking for physically and the type of "relationship" you're after so it would make sense in your case for pics to be exchanged very early on

Ex’s have a habit of crawling back at the best of times. This lockdown has been a real eye opener. I’ve never been contacted by so many ex’s/previously spoken to potentials, all popping back up in these past weeks. Some after no contact in years!

Hi Post lockdown my expectations did change because here on IE I had to be prepared for both the expected and the unexpected due to a spike in members joining. Some are never SATISFIED and vai
5 years ago I became less fussy about looks and wasn't as selective or picky. This has opened and broadened what I want and as someone said earlier if there is chemistry and connection and you like each other.
So by broadening my horizons and not being picky I've actually met lovely women and even chat to some just as friends and I would have previously missed them out or should I say filtered. If a person wants you and you want them half the battle is over. Then rather than nitpicking finding faults enjoy an
Coming back to the pictures mentioned in earlier comments how many are verified or can be matched. This is a topic on it's own along with etiquette how can IEs be allowed to pester for pics and then just go quiet ..I often say if that was done the other way around someone would get a taste of their own medicine

i have a few exes floating about who are looking to meet up after lockdown so I'm lucky I can weigh up the pro's and cons and decide who I want .Unfortunately the more ordinary looking 'nice guy 'isn't the one I'm thinking about .If it's all about sex then I'm going to choose the very attractive one who is fabulous in bed .So you could say lockdown has made me think honestly about my priorities .It's not like I'm single and looking for marriage or the total package .I sincerely hope your months of chatting don't end in disappointment when you do meet ....

I wish I could feel that way. It’s not that looks are everything, but I can’t help feeling like conversation is pointless if I’ve seen a picture and I don’t find them in any way physically attractive. I would totally clean up on here if I didn’t care what someone looks like! 😉

Now, I think you know that isn't quite true

Also it adds to the discussion about what are you attracted to ..the looks or what lies beneath ! Obviously its got to be a bit of both but normally its looks first so getting to know someone a bit mentally and then showing pics you might have formed a bond so one might overlook some imperfections in the photos 😁

It’s how someone makes me feel that’s important.
