Every email I have received so far (barring 2 pompous ones that just leave an email with not even a hello..... very very rude ) have gone into great detail about my profile. A few have even picked up on some of my unusual interestes So, I think for the most part they read it, maybe they just dont comment on some or forget to.

HAHAHA this whole thread is very funny...because I often think that the people who write to me are such idiots HAHA....

and they DO read my profile they just ignore it....even though RIGHT IN IT it says please dont message me if you are this and that...they STILL write and say "I know Im this and that but ...blah blah anyways" STOP WASTING MY TIME!!!

It just proves even further that people are lame. If I said in my profile DO NOT WRITE TO ME IF YOU HAVE PURPLE LIPS....I'd get 33 million messages from people with purple lips saying "Hi...I have purple lips but check out my profile anyhow...."


SHEESH

(And before I get any comments about purple lips and 33 million messages...that was all HYPOTHETICAL....not lets just see how many people prove my point)

I usually read whether or not you use drugs FIRST. I'm just not into the whole let's get high and drunk scene.

Next it's on to your interests............I like to see what floats your boat.

Then from there it's on to the rest of the profile...........


Pictures do help but if you really caught my attention I'll write you anyways.....

Yes, I do read them. That's why I don't write anyone. Just kidding! Seriously, I do read them.

No, we don't. We see what we want to read, for instance:

affectionate - wants sex
likes to hold hands - wants sex
romantic - wants sex
likes to cook - will feed me after sex
serious replies only - seriously wants sex
social drinker - all right! beer and sex!!!

Something like that. It's the whole selective hearing thing done visually.

I always read the entire profile at least once; usually more. I want to make sure that I can find some common ground ao that I don't waste my time or hers. I do understand where you're coming from though. I often talk with people that obviously didn't take a minute to read mine.

In a word - yes - usually at least a couple or 3 times, and sometimes it is even
better to save them to favorites and wait a couple of days to think about it.

I must also comment that on some of the sites I have seen some very funny
'wish lists' by women, especially here in northern New England - they ONLY
want a guy over 6'2", who makes 100k+, has no history/baggage/kids, and
more besides that I don't even remember - it is sooo funny !

What really makes me laugh is when their stats aren't even close to what
they want - unemployed, 3-5 kids, separated, and why a woman who is 5'
wants ONLY men 6'2" or over is baffling to me, personally....

I guess you could say that since I enjoy reading, I read some of them a few
times just for the giggles !

Best Wishes,

Hi- I think most red blooded men look at the pictures, and , being soooo visual, + only using the smaller head, they just react and email. I try very hard to be specific about my preferences, but the Sr citizens still apply. I do not want to hurt anyones feelings by rejecting them, that is a major reason why I state clearly what my preferences are...so just remember guys, when you see a picture, Please read the profile 1st! Thanks!

Not all men think exclusively with the 'smaller head' (as you put it) - in fact,
some of us are almost the exact opposite of that, which tends to infuriate
certain women endlessly...seems they are quite used to easy manipulation
of the neanderthal set, and some guys disappoint them greatly when they
are quite immune to such manipulation.

And:
Over 45 is now a definition of 'senior citizen' ??
Cool. Get me my walker, youngster !!
(Too bad I am not eligible for social security !!!)

Funny, I am 49, and on jobs where I work with what I call 'kids' - folks who
are around 20 - they sit down panting while I am still going strong.

Generalizations can sometimes work against a person's success.

Perhaps you refer to guys that have spent 20 or so years drinkin, smokin
and druggin themselves into premature old age.

Some of us skipped all that, and stayed in much better repair as a result.

Best Wishes,

The profile is just as important, if not more important than the picture....at least to me it is.
A pretty face is great....but i can tell so much about a girl by what she writes and the way she writes it. I want to make sure that our personalities have at least a little bit of a chance of clicking. I don't want to be the guy that just looked at the girl's picture only to miss the last line of her profile which might have said "I love to smoke crack and worship satan" or "i love my pet grizzly bear....but i'm trying to train him to quit attacking men's groins"---peace----Kracka

Kracka, you made me chuckle. About reading the last line on the gals profile. Men should read each line. This will GIVE THEM A CLUE.

Silly guys don't. I don't know why, because the girl will bust them soon into the conversation.

That's when you break out the forest gump line: "stupid is, is stupid does"

I always read the entire profile, quite often just hoping to find a redeeming quality somewhere in the lists of must be's and I wants. Unless of course they make me laugh so hard I pull a muscle, then I read it twice. Besides 80% of the profiles are 3 lines or less, even I can muddle through that. The ones with chapters I can't help but read, I love a good book.

Profiles are like unsolved mysteries... you lave to read to the end to see what people are like...a cliff hanger or two.

Hi Ladypagey, your right about that one. I use the first paragraph just to weed out those sans sense of humor, and those with weak hearts. lol
Besides If they don't want to message me, it's rewarding to know chances are quite high they spit out thier cola into their keyboard. Although I have had a few requests for reimbursements.

Read? Who wastes time reading. Pictures--that's what we read--and if your book(or profile) isn't loaded with good pictures we're not reading. Geez, all these literacy requirements! What is this? College? Reading is overrated--try long, elaborate alegrabic formulas instead. That's bound to eliminate all those needless emails.

Honestly I think some men and notice I said SOME men only check out the pics.....
then they check to see if they have something in common with the woman...if she has no pic, they dont bother....again...I said some men

They are visual creatures then again so are some women

It's a turn off to read a 1000 word-profile and then not get any response later. I prefer short-straight-to-the-point profiles. A smart woman is one who knows how to express herself with few words!

I could write a whole "War and Peace" novel here, but.....

The women with no pic who say...."please (or must) have a pic, or no reply..."

LATER...
