Or could it be? Watching the TV show Love is Blind got me thinking..
For those who haven't seen it, the basic concept is people getting to know each other without meeting face to face. They only meet once they feel they have connected with someone.
So my question is.. would you still be a member if Fab was blind? Could you ever get to know a person behind the screen and only see their face when you meet for the first time? Or is that initial physical attraction more important?
Thoughts... |

I think the problem would be is that on Love is Blind you are getting to know the person and forming an emotional attachment. Kind of goes against what most people want from Fab  |

I’d meet someone for a coffee if I got on with them regardless of what they looked like. I might not necessarily want to jump into bed with them.
In a hypothetical situation anyway. I watch far too many serial killer programs to be taking any risks and meeting people without knowing who they are, what they look like, full postal address, registration plate, 5 years of address history, 10 years of employment history, 2 character references, next of kin national insurance and blood type |

A friend of mine tried this on here. She chatted to a guy and didn’t look at his pics at all. Unfortunately patience isn’t her greatest asset so it didn’t last long. Great idea for an experiment though  |

That was my initial thinking to. One night things are based on sexual attraction but people who like to build some form of friendship/relationship with the person, I wonder how many could go through with it on personality alone. |

No, doesn’t matter to me. Her mind and the way she engages me comes first. Sexual attraction may or may not happen thereafter but that’s not because of her face. |

i think it can happen on fab. lets be honest there are times people are using old photos and sometimes what you think you are getting isnt what you actually meet.
but i wouldnt feel comfortable doing it blind all the time. |

It would be a good experiment to see how far a mental attraction can go but I think we all would be too curious not to peak! |

Interesting, I understand what you mean. I also think being attracted to someone and finding someone attractive are completely different. For me, I need more than a pretty face to be attracted to someone. |

For dateing purposes i think its brilliant as it takes away the judgemental attitude folk have when it comes to looks. For a relationship to work you have to get to know a person for who they are not what they look like so im glad the show is putting this msg across as its been lost nowadays with how picky folk have become. For NSA it wouldnt work tho. |

Agreed, NSA is mostly based on physical attraction so I don't think it could work. Investing in a regular playmate though does take getting to know someone. It would be interesting to see if it could work. |

It wouldn't work think how bad it is now for fake accounts,time waisters and flat out perves.
Although with out pics the perves wouldn't be as much of a problem but yeah still sticking by my point

I watched that. They were declaring their love for each other after only a few chats and about 3 of them wanted to marry the same person. It's madness! |

I’d have to see them! Call me shallow but been speaking to guys and the talk is good but when I’ve seen a pic it’s just all gone! Don’t mean the guy was a minger just not my type!

There's a dating app which already does this. Exchange messages first then get to see pics. Trying to show attraction is not just about looks.
Even NSA I would still go for personality rather than just looks and on here I rarely look at the photos. |

"I don’t ask for pics straight away prefer to chat see if any spark that way "
Same.
I prefer profiles without public pics.
But then meet within 2 weeks of first chatting or no meet at all. |

Attraction is very important so I dont think it would work in the long run for me, or even the short term tbh.
I need both.
Mental and physical attraction.
Just 1 simply wouldnt do. |

Its an interesting thought that's for sure! Guess we all have our limits on the risks we are willing to take. Ultimately though, personality is what makes a person attractive for me. |

I quite often meet a guy blind and loads of guys have met me blind!
One chap actually asked why I didn't ask for a photo when we met and I said (correctly so) that I wanted to meet the guy I'm chatting with not a photo! After he left the bar lady said that I know you said he was tall but you never said he was incredibly good looking!
My daughter (known him a while now and she turned up from uni lol) said he looks like an older version of young Gerard Butler!!! So that was awesome and we've been great friends ever since ... noone has ever actually been bad looking just mainly aren't the personality they project via messages
Easier for me because I have a job where it's virtually impossible to send a face picture (everyone totally understands once we've met lol) and I really do find the brain and the mind connection absolutely necessary and much much sexually attractive than looks alone! |
