I think it is possible, just not most of the times.
Looks are the first thing that most people notice first, and some pictures can be really deceiving on a lot of these sites. In the gay ones many guys even go down the route of describing their size/body hair/presence of beard/piercings/scars etc. Then, yes, they'll also write down that they are looking for Mr Right or someone to get closer to. Still looks are what the majority of people go for. I imagine that to be the same for straight dating sites too.

I absolutely agree!
I'm quite sure I wont find anyone that I would ever end up dating on one of these things. It's just a bit of fun at the moment.
I've met a few people that I've spoken to online. One of whom I *dated*/fooled around with whatever. Actually, two ( I always forget the first one because he was a nightmare).
I think that.. maybe a dating site is an alright way to kind of get an idea of a person, as much as you might get when you see them at a bar and talk for 5 minutes. If you want to get to know them any better, it takes time. As long as people are honest, learning about someone is no different online to irl ( I think ? ) You can make up shit about yourself or leave things out no matter how you communicate.
