| I was reading an article that stated “People with voices deemed sexy and attractive tend to have greater body symmetry upon close inspection, suggesting that what we hear in a person can greatly affect what we see in them.” In this vast internet world we are all involved in what have been your experiences when talking to someone on the phone and then meeting them in person. Do you agree or disagree?

| I know that I've talked to men online and then when I actually heard their voices on the phone it was a major turnoff. Made me not want to meet them. (and I didn't)

| I don't judge by the sound of a person's voice. Some of the sexiest-sounding ones.....are not!

| Agree, I've talked with some that their voice just had me melting, but then when meeting for the first, AND LAST, I just frooze up.
I have somewhat of a deep voice for a woman, but I think it matches my rough and tumble ways. But then again, I have been told it's sexy, just can't put me and sexy in one thought. LMAO!

| I believe the voice on the phone is a dealmaker or dealbreaker on meeting. You can tell so much if you will listen with your ears and not your mouth. Listen for the confidence, sincerity, etc. Will make you want to meet or to beat it off the phone...JMHO.
Claypot...LMAO....

| I do pay attention to the tone, the inflections and the vocabulary when I am talking with someone. For me, it gives me a much better feel for the person....and I have made the decision to not meet someone, because I found their voice, or how they spoke not to my liking at all. As to wether they are more apt to be attractive because of a sexy voice..no way..there is only one way to judge that aspect of a person..and that is face to face. I learned this, long before I was on the internet I once fell lustfully in love with the voice of a hotel guest only to just about keel over when I finally came face to face ...and it was not because he was attractive or sexy..the total opposite.

| I can hear a lot in a voice and what I notice there is the same when we actually do meet in person. The saddnes, the pain, the laughter, the humor, the boastfulness, the shyness, the compassion, the caring... it is all there and it has been my experience that what I hear is true when we do meet face to face.
Does their body look different than I expected from their words written or shared in voice? I never have any expectations except for what they chose to share as a visual. That on occasion, has differed.

| Great topic! Just as sure as I say, "Yes, absolutely, I agree," I can think of a few encounters to the contrary.
Hmmm, I can say one thing with certainty: If a man's voice isn't deep & sultry and doesn't convey confidence, I don't care how good he looks. Conversely, I dated a man recently who had the most amazing, deep, sexy voice (like Sam Elliot). I was totally bewitched despite the fact that he looked more like Mr. Magoo.  But he did have the body symmetry thing going for him.
(I'm a Libra and have to look at things from all angles)

| Hmmm, hesitate to put this on here, but have not seen these 2 men I met on here post since March, so here goes.
I was going to meet the 2nd man I met on here in person. My daughter told me I should talk to him on the phone before meet. I didn't think it should matter. But thought, what the heck! I don't want to offend any MAN on here, but we all have preferences, I guess, for what type of voice might mean what type of man, or at least a better feel on phone as to his personality.
When we talked, he sounded like somebody talking on a CB to a trucker! And he asked me questions, and then talked over me to talk about himself and his most beautiful ex-wife. I sent him a note after second phone call and asked him not to call again, please. He did, but I didn't pick up and blocked him. He even called again, cause he couldn't believe I blocked him and wanted to know what he did wrong. I felt bad, but I asked him politely not to call again, and gave some sort of excuse at the time as to not hurt his feelings. Even hearing that voice on my answering machine made me cringe, knew I couldn't listen to it very long. I don't mean all men who talk on CB's sound like him, and it's very hard to explain, just wasn't pleasant to me.
2nd man: IM's every morning for quite a while. Met without ever talking on the phone. He had a most pleasant voice.
There is a man on here, my friend, who by his picture you would never believe what a sweet, loving, soothing, interesting voice he has. The kind that sorta melts you. (You know who you are! I've told ya.)
I would hate to hear what anyone has to say about my voice! Most people say they have a hard time hearing me, unless they know me and have been around me for a while. Because it isn't very loud! I don't even think I could scream loud enough for someone standing across the street to hear me, if I had too!!!!!

| Personally, I'm not into voices while it is nice to hear them when I talk on the phone. I'm more into what they have to say, than their sound. Although I do compliment those that I talk with, I'm more interested in their words. I'm a guy of personality, not looks.

| If you ever want to see if the "sexy voice " thing is accurate look at a show featuring the phone sex workers.  AMAZING. I have found some people tho to be every bit as sweet as their sexy voice was

| After reading your responses I had to go back and re-read my original post. I interrupted this to say that a person’s voice could “influence” what we see in them.
I have found this to be the case. When I have spoken to someone before we met and enjoyed the sound of their voice I would over look some of the aspects in their looks. I have found that this would not necessarily be someone that I would have given a second look at if I had seen them first. Not that they were unattractive in any way just not someone that I would have been attracted to.
 Does that make sence????

| Desert -
That is so true. It is exactly what I was trying to say. I'm not sure that I can distinguish a nice voice from one that exudes self confidence, but it does certainly make a difference. The Mr. Magoo look is sorta growing on me ...
Shari @ sissy voice.
