Peggy Loo, a psychologist at Manhattan Therapy Collective, says, “There’s always a moment of recalibration when we’ve first seen someone’s picture and then we meet them in real life. It may be less of an ‘if’ it happens and more of ‘how much’ internal adjustment happens. For example, meeting someone on a first date who is more attractive in person than their profile is a pleasant surprise. Whereas meeting a physician who appears far younger than they do in their photo may give you pause about the amount of experience they have.”
