[Blindtlk] Online Dating

[Robin]

I am pretty sure everyone has certain qualities, which they deem 
important when deciphering through possible prospects as it pertains to Mates.

People could eliminate prospects/candidates soley based on their 
Voice as easily as they could on some aspect of their physical 
appearance, which they usually don't have any control over

Everyone, I presume, categorizes verbal/nonverbal-physical qualities 
based on their own personal preferences

Enjoy The Experience
