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.

Plus there's the way people generally communicate online about these things, which doesn't require much effort in terms of appearing like you are actually being receptive to minutiaes that might be of great importance to the guy/girl you are chatting to, so a whole chunk of what constitutes a conversation with a stranger in the flesh (albeit one you have some interest in getting to know better) is missing. I do believe that if it's just a sex thing it can totally work more often than a relationship hunt, though.
By looks being important on my other post I didn't mean that one has to be necessarily good looking in a conventional way, that is something subjective to the physical requirements the person who's trying to get off with someone online demands, and those requirements vary from person to person.
