Hehe,
this is a good thread.

I can't help thinking of the film "Shallow hal" when I am looking at profiles on here and on plenty of fish or okcupid or wherever I end up.

Whilst I'm looking, I am thinking "eye candy".

It really is terrible, is it not?
This is meant to be a typical male thing, ie more visually driven, but I'm not so sure as there are plenty of image guides that show that women respond to ab pics etc.

This is the problem with eyes as we can't deny the fact that those of us that can see, are clearly going to be driven more by visual appeal initially. However, my dealings with people in the past, remind me that voice, but mainly attitude, can easily break the idyllic thinking behind the looks as I am very easily distanced by bad attitude.
Meh.
