Via social media or face-to-face? Either way, I think you're generally right. We guys initially tend to be more visual, whereas girls are more cerebral. If she looks good, short term, we're more likely to overlook the red flags (incompatibilities). On the other hand, I think women tend to make the mistake of going with their intuition (first negative observation) of a man and reject him without giving the guy's shortcomings a chance. But again, I do think men more often than women make poor partner selections, particularly before age 30. And first-date social media interactions don't help.
