Posted: 5/11/2012 5:56:10 PM | Looks is what gets me first, Then reading the profile to a point. From reading lots of profiles I find that most of them sound about the same. Living in LA I noticed a common post in the profiles.. "I'm not your typical LA woman"
No matter how original some people think they are. Most of us are not, I can only say that about women as I dont read guys profiles. See no reason why it wont be same for women reading guys profiles. | |

Posted: 5/12/2012 5:16:45 PM | | Like all of us, I have to admit it's the physical attraction that commands my attention first. Truth be told, it's what I see BEHIND their eyes that either makes me fall for them or run like the wind. I have to have the mind first, or nothing else can follow. | |

Women base everything on looks as well... It's just how life is some folks are more lucky in that department then others...
I wholeheartedly concur with this statement. I'm about a 3 or 4 on the infamous "1-10" looks scale and consistently get dismissed by women. I just noticed today that I've sent 49 emails on this site in the last 9 months and have yet to receive a response to any of them. You can't say there is no correlation there. | |

Posted: 5/15/2012 7:55:20 AM | | I love a guy with a sense of humor, esp. the ones who have a shockvalue line on their profile. That grabs my attention. I do admit though, yes, in other instances, it is their looks that grabs me. OMG there's some awesomely goodlooking 50something year old men out there!! Yes I have been flooded with emails from men who just look at my pic. That is why I have opened a new account, new user name and no photo. | |

Posted: 5/15/2012 8:28:20 AM | When someone writes I see what they look like but I don't care about htat nearly as much as the profile; who they are. So while I might have my attention initially grabbed by a pic; I don't fully invest in being attracted if I am not attracted to who they seem to be as a person (at least in first glance; since you only get the most surface glimpse in photo and profile both).
And know what you mean; I totally chopped mine; I was getting a little overloaded; so switched it up and shortened it and added something at the end so I will know if aperson bothered to read it or not ;) | |

Posted: 5/16/2012 11:06:10 PM | Oddly my first question was which one?
The first one, from Enterprise, NX-01?
The constitution class from the original series, NC-1701 or NC-1701A?
The galaxy class from TNG, NC-1701D?
My personal favorite is the excelsior class, NC-1701B but that maybe just because Kirk "died" on that one ;)
Or the one used in the movie released just a couple years ago, which is supposedly a constitution class but looks nothing like the original series, changes substantiated by the fact it is supposedly an alternate timeline?
Yeah, I admit it, I'm a geek. Anyone surprised? | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 12:11:29 AM | LOL, out of all that, only thing I got was the Enterprise (main ship right?). I like the one with the bald captain over old Kirk but as you can tell, my knowledge is near zero.
As for the intent of this post - I'll admit, its all about the look - yes I'm vain.
Moonbeamlover, that's quite clever!!! Going to so use that. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 8:45:13 AM | | I definitely agree, I've noticed some messages I get clearly show that the writer didn't read my profile or at least not all of it before msging me. Personally I'm sure everyone clicks on a profile based on being attracted to the users picture but I always read the profile before I decide whether I want to send them a message because first of all the message is going to be based around something i read about them and there are certainly a number of times a guy with attractive pictures has something in his profile that lets me know he's probably not the one for me or I wouldn't be right for him so I just keep moving. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 1:50:42 PM | I think I will change my profile pic. Shirtless holding several dead presidents! Maybe next to my convertible too. Be very flippant, candescending and almost rude in the body of the profile....
I believe my profile is very respectable, honest and straightforward, but I toy with the idea of posting the kind of pics the ladies here complain about.
Could be an interesting experiment.
Really nothing to lose! If it's an epic fail, delete the profile and come back again in the fall........... | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 2:14:25 PM | | People both men and women need to read profiles before they just emailbased on what their private parts feel at the moment. It gets annoying | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 2:51:13 PM | If I read a woman's profile and send her a message commenting on, or asking about something she mentioned in her profile and don't get a reply, OR, if I send a one-word "Hey!" message to some woman whose profile I haven't bothered to read and don't get a reply, what's the difference to me?
The return on my investment is the same either way.
As long as there isn't a significant difference in the reply rate between doing it 'right' and doing it 'wrong', people are going to do whichever is easier. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 2:53:14 PM | | Its about respect though. Men or women who email whoever because they are selfish and cant read a profile its messed up. I dont email people very much but I at least see if Im what they are looking for instead of being a**** ass and just doing whatever one wants | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 7:24:54 PM | | The photos first. Then I check the profile to see if I match a woman's requirements and if there is anything in the profile that is a dealbreaker to me. | |

Posted: 5/18/2012 3:43:24 PM | I was deleting 50 messages a week it seemed for awhile from women who were not reading my profile. Usually a "hi" or ":-)" and rarely more than a single sentence. It got so annoying I ended up just using a single photo, then taking all my photos offline for over a month. Now I'm back to a few more tame pictures. I understand this is even worse for women.
For me, reading the profile is pretty essential before bothering to send a message. It depends on what you're looking for? For me it has to be both. I've emailed a select number of women based on profile alone because I really liked what they had in there. More often than not you need a picture to have some sense there will be workable chemistry? | |

Posted: 5/18/2012 4:53:12 PM | | I dont feel bad for people who complain about a lot of messages. Try being a woman getting no messages than freaking talk. Im pretty sure you are the guy who is on here to feed his ego based on your pic | |

That's fine I'm used to be judged (unfairly) based simply on how I look. I could put a photo of the Lakers logo on my profile, well except you're required to show your face on PoF?
News flash, it doesn't matter? Everyone has a type they're attracted to, and everyone deals with dating issues?
Your profile looks fine and genuine, I'm sure you will find the right guy in Tampa? | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 12:10:54 PM | | 1st is the picture... not so much "looking for hotties" but to get a general sense of whether or not I want to look any deeper. It's not the "looks" I'm interrested in, though of course a "hottie" will stand out. I ALWAYS read the profiles. There has to be something in there that interests me, or that we have in common for me to message someone. | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 10:00:22 PM | | Since I pay for half the dates which equals dutch in the end, the guy has be decent looking and take care of himself. Just like it's always been for women, well now we expect the guy to look good and be pleasant. If the man has a good profile and looks like the dog's dinner well, some other lucky chick can have him. I've spent my life trying to look good for men and I'm not dating any slobs. | |
