It makes me wonder how many amazing people are passed over when people look at their image on an app and swipe away from them based on that snippet of visual appearance; I'd say many people.
People look for the wrong thing, and in a world that is incredibly fake, the wrong thing is easy to find.
I think also, that people don't have much patience these days and will pass over, or discard a person that isn't quite aligned with their agenda or timeframe situation. For this reason many connections that could have been lasting and incredibly beautiful and rewarding simply fail, or just don't happen. Sad really.
You're right though, it's complex; I guess I simplify things for that reason, and always look deeper than the physical...of course, it's the physical that often first attracts. An interesting topic I think.
