My two best and longest (multi-year) relationships were on the Internet in places where I didn't know anything about looks of my partners.

With one of them, I said I love her before I first saw her. And I'm not the kind of person to take such words lightly.

But yes, you have a point about retaining audience here.

That's perfectly valid!

It's just that there should be a higher degree of variety on the online dating scene.

Some people absolutely do care for looks, and can't - and shouldn't - help it.

But for those who care less - alternative avenues should be provided.

Also, to clarify - I don't "get it up for anyone", it's just that sexuality has more to it than looks, and for me the looks isn't the first thing I think of when I hear "sexy".
