It's more realistic. Personally, I'd prefer the internet to be a way of projecting myself around the globe (y'know, in a non-conceited way

), rather than simply hiding my face and trying to put on a false pretense.
If attractive people are treated better it's a problem with life, and people in general, not the internet.
And if women on here are really worried about being judged by their appearance, they always have the option of
not posting a picture, or even
not claiming to be female.
I want to get to know
real people, not words and works...
