Posted: 2/1/2006 6:04:10 AM | Vixen......................Yes I start out strong reading but if the lady has a poem or lyrics to a song then I move on....I love poetry but to me??? Thats not a good way to start a relationship, especially if its some cheesy song..Belive me I know cheese
To answer the question yes if she gets a response from me I read it
If I see an attractive lady and her entire profile is a poem or song? No I do not contact her.
Ive also noticed a lot of ladies do not bother reading profiles either, and even post here
Good Luck | |

I read all the profile to get an idea of the person's lifestyle, interests, and even more important how flexible (or not) they may be.
What I find frustrating, are profiles of One line, filled with all the standard cliches...... some don't even apply. The LIST of characteristics their ideal date should have is often exhaustive.
I usually Pass those by. Thank you | |

I see your point, however there is an growing culture of "False Advertising " happenig these days. Many of us resent the attitude taht commercials can operate without the basics of accountability. If personal profiles take on the same philosophy, then you shouldn't be surprised to attrack all the "Wanna-bes" | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 9:15:49 AM | Well, I get the same thing with women. I'll often get women contacting me whose profile says "Don't Want Children" when my profile clearly states "Want Children." So, it's certainly not just the men who are guilty of not reading the whole profile!
As for being mostly visual creatures, perhaps that's true. Obviously, a good photo is going to generate more interest. However, one thing that will NOT pique my interest is a shot of just the boobs or just the *ss. That just looks juvenile and, frankly, desperate. | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 9:42:25 AM | well actually yea.... I read every profile in PoF and the problem is I seem to confuse them with each other. Sorry.
Oh and OP ... vixen.... I especially liked your picture. | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 9:47:16 AM | | I have had men e-mail me simply to give me favorable comment on my profile. So I would have to say.. yes they do read a person's profile clear to the end... even the german chocolate cake part....... | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 9:48:53 AM | I skim the whole thing, sometimes there is small details that could mean a lot!
And I read their posts in the forums as well lol.

Posted: 2/1/2006 9:57:51 AM | When I'm doing a search, I start with the photo first until I find one attractive, then I read the profile and pray to God she's not an idiot If the girl is a one-two knockout (looks + compatible personality), I'm all set!  Sadly this is a rare occurrence indeed and she usually has about 400 favorites chasing her
When I receive a message from somebody, I go to their profile before reading the message and look at the pic. I then go back to the message to read it, and depending on whether I found her attractive or not will respond with a polite message either attempting to set up further dialogue with romantic intentions, or I will let her down easy and propose a potential friendship if she sounds nice but isn't attractive to me.
And for all the man-haters out there posting how we men don't read your profiles, women are just as guilty of that as we are. I receive at least a couple of messages a week from women that haven't seen their toes in the better part of a decade when I specifically mention in my profile that I'm an exercise addict and expect the same level of effort regarding fitness from my potential mates...   | |

| A mans perspective...
Posted: 2/1/2006 1:46:05 PM | ladies my advice dont put up pic some men just think with thier knob. write a nice profile not to lond doh be different show whats different about you to others and away you go. Just let loose whatever you feel expresses you as a person and is not bland and samey like what u think SHOULD be put on your profile. Put down what YOU think have fun with it have a laugh dont take it TOO serious. As for the prob of mass emails ladies put a load of retrictions on who you would like to email you. personally more people contact me about the forums i suppose you get to know people by their manner and opinion on issues.   | |

Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Only as reference material.
Does that count?
hmm...yes I do. Not every guy does, but not every woman reads every guys' profile either. Kind of a slanted question, isn't it?
Do people read other people's profiles?
Yes, if they're genuinely interested in the person, and not just looking for a quickie.
No, if they're too lazy or just looking for a quickie.
Just my opinion. | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 3:33:07 PM | | Apparently they read mine for a laugh, but skip the bold part about me being involved. haha Or think I want something on the side. *sigh* I've rewritten that part several times to try to make it abundantly clear. Why would these guys want to meet someone who's involved? Never mind, I just remembered how many cheating threads there are...geez. | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 4:20:22 PM | ^^^^ Everyone on the forums knows you are involved ... 
maybe you should just hide your profile and clean out your fave list from all the redundancy .. then you don't have to worry about all the young guys wanting some mature woman | |

Posted: 2/1/2006 7:35:14 PM | Cant and wont speak for others of my gender, but I DO read the entire profile. Might be some little tidbit that really catches my eye or turns me orr, then again, might be a little quirk that the woman hates that I might have as part of my life. I find it informative to read what women actually write as it give some insight as a whole as to what they really want or look for. The rest is like a fishing derby, one goes to where they think is a good meeting place, sets the line and waits for the right one to come along. I guess timing is everything.
I am not afraid to put my two cents worth here. Maybe this is the one way to actually and finally meet someone who has the same interests as myself, or even that I am bold enough to take a stand. After all, I am convinced that it is still a woman's world as they control who gets seen by whom and when. I have more thoughts on this but I will save them plus my ass for a later kicking. | |

Someone who reads the whole profile, I was beginning to think men forgot how to read. Nothing more irritating than being asked questions when its was answered in a profile.
Cuddos to you gryff63. | |

Lynda, there is quite a bit in your profile. We don't have perfect memories and since we send out 20 messages to get one response, we don't have time to memorize your profile, and it is a lot of trouble to keep switching back and forth from our message to your profile. If I was going to send you a message, I would have read your profile, even if I didn't remember every little detail. You might cut us a little slack. | |
