observed many people &ndash; which could include single soldiers &ndash; could make decisions about whether or not to meet a person based on their profile picture.<\/p>\n<p>While a &quot;stellar personality&quot; is also an essential requirement, individuals may make a snap decision based on what they can see.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Palopoli added: &quot;Looks are more important than personality according to the men on dating websites.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>It comes after Peter Spalton, founder of thedatingdoctor.co.uk, remarked that creating an online profile can be an extremely beneficial experience.<\/p>\n<p>This is because it offers people the opportunity to find out what they can bring to any prospective relationship.<\/p>\n<p>And this in turn could then be used to help singletons realise what they are expecting &ndash; or looking for &ndash; from other individuals who are in a similar situation.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\"
