Pretend you are walking into a really cool bar. You look at the girls/guys, but there's always something that makes one stand out against the rest. We're trying to do the same here. The science is in the background and is a massive helper (esp. when there are millions to choose from), but the user experience is JUST as important if not more so. Let's face it dating is a game that we all play in one form or another. I'll try to encourage you to post again but if you don't want to you can still remain facespin-free and just contact anonymously if you like. Although you'll get better responses if you have a great pic up there ... Michael – It’s not just about looks but first IMPRESSION.
