When they say that someone is an animal, they are saying that the person’s focus is on the physical desires to an extreme.
No one seems to be complaining about those who go on at least one date and only afterward decide that the other’s looks are a turn off.
Remember the asifa last year? Looking at a picture before dating is an excuse to look at a female and have similar thoughts to what it is they were forbidding.
Going on a date, however, means that you have tried to like the other as a human being.
It is crucial that each find the other attractive but the aspect I find disgusting is in sending the picture.
