Posted By: merriemoe on 6/5/2006 4  14 PM Subject: Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Message: I hear ya for sure. I dated a guy for almost 5 months that I met on another website. I made it clear in my profile that I wanted a relationship, a man with character and no games, etc...... He let me know after almost 5 months that we "didn't want the same things" and tried to make me feel stupid for feeling hurt or expecting that we had a relationship. He knew what I wanted from the beginning so why in the hell did he even bother emailing me in the first place and keep up the ruse for so long. Guys.... If you aren't open to a relationship, maybe you should save everyone alot of trouble, really read the profile and if you are just looking for "casual" or Hookups..... then just don't email those of us who make it clear that we are done with games. I think it's only fair
To be fair it is not just men who play games. | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 8:14:51 PM | I don't think Many of the GUYS read any of it at ALL. Frankly, Guys are very much into ATTRACTIVENESS, and could care Less what a good looking lady thinks if she is in to him.
If you're good looking, you'll get response, and if not, no you won't.
PRofiles for women are meaningless.
I read them, but it hurts when I do. OUch! | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 8:39:04 PM | I read them. I need to know if I'm the only psycho in the relationship. Two of the same kind cannot exist in the same space at the same time. Crap, I'm quoting Jean Claude Van Damme movies.
Being a writer, I usually take more interest in that than in faces, which eventually get wrinkled, drag, get pockmarked by acne and stress, just before a nest of snakes burst out of their brain cavity and their eyes glow and turn people to stone, should you be foolish to conduct direct eye contact. That's why I watch a woman's hands and feet, in case they're martial artists, cheating me on poker or just happen to have a good color of nail polish on. Mmm, purple. With the glittery stuff. Hopefully that's not some weird fungus.
Plus I have to work a little bit more. I'm not going to wow anyone with my mug. So if I can say something witty, it might just break the ice right. Or it just leads to another READ DELETED message.
But most folks aren't that interesting though. Sad. | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 10:18:05 PM | Good question! I had thought about it a lot, so I decided to find out for myself. So, I made up a bogus profile (at another site), put a very pretty pic up and wrote absolute shite in the profile - I was from Krakhedstan, I liked donkees, licking chocolate from bowels and budgy jumping.
To cut a long story short, it was obvious men didnt read the profile!
Okay, I had too much time on my hands at the time LOL, but it was a very interesting project! | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 6:58:22 AM | Kate,
Just read your forum post and found it kind of funny so read your profile yes, that's right, the whole thing tongue shot and all.  Australia would be too far to go for dating so I'm not interested in that but just thought I'd say hi and let you know that I can read. I just wanted to tell you that it is cruel to make fake profiles and I think I just may have answered that fake profile but I didn't get a response. I just figured it was because I didn't like jumping budgies. Have a nice day,  | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 12:12:37 PM | | I always read the whole profile. That way I can see if we have anything in common before she rejects me for the same thing. It makes the first message a little more personable if you throw in a comment about their profile. I know most women don't like the "Hi you're cute, wanna chat?" messages. Really why would they? I for one am attracted to the mind. I mean of course there has to be some physical attraction, but that isn't all. Besides, I like reading. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 6:04:51 PM | I know alot of guys DON'T take the time to read profiles all the way through, and sometimes I am guilty of the same, but generally that is only if it is a little too excessive in length. Sure, I like to read more than a few lines, but I also don't want to be sitting there for 5 minutes reading a profile either.
Recently, I removed my pic from my profile and am being contacted by the guys, so there ARE guys who do take the time to read them. It also depends on how the profile begins...it is hard to grab a person's attention in the first place, even harder to keep it so they WILL read it through to the end. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 9:32:17 PM | I read profiles from anyone who I contact, or who contacts me, before replying. Some people have actually told me they think it's paranoid, but I like to have some idea who I'm talking to.
So to speak.
It's also the reason a picture is so relevant.
I have chosen to give up trying to figure out why one would think that was a step thatthey would want to skip. | |

Posted: 6/12/2006 2:20:35 PM | I would have to say it depends. Most people--not just men--look at the photos first, right?
As far as profiles are concerned, sometimes there's much room for ambiguity; sometimes the profile isn't all that interesting; sometimes the profile is too long, kinda boring, etc. Do most women read profiles? Yeah, I would say they do read our profiles, on average, better than how men read women's profiles. But that doesn't mean that all men don't read profiles. I, for instance, look first at the age and photos, then the occupation, then if I'm interested, I'll read the entire profile. If there's something interesting, I bring it up to show the woman that I can read. The whole male bashing thing is rather banal. | |

Posted: 6/12/2006 4:20:34 PM | Thanks DowlingDenis! For the opinion and your honesty! I couldn't agree more...the men are out for one thing. Forget about the line "longterm" relationship. They want to get from "A" to point "D" without going through the steps "B" and "C". Some of us really do tell all the truth. That we appear as angels or goodie-two-shoes. It may appear that way. But some of us ladies and gentlemen really are just that -- good people! We have never done drugs, don't disrespect others, etc.
I think laziness is part of it but the other part is they don't read well and maybe can't even spell, if you read some of the profiles...basic words are not spelled correctly.
Those of us who have read Dr. Phil's new book "How to Love Smart" UNITE!

Posted: 6/12/2006 4:28:38 PM | | Do not agree at all. When I send a message, it has at least 4 sentences and it is personalized. I am after long term so don't put me in that group, ok? If you people were so "good" and really "looking" almost every message every guy sends wouldn't wind up "read/deleted". Too many picky people on this site is the real problem. | |

Posted: 6/13/2006 12:02:54 AM | dude i don't think picky's the word.
i think the ladies are just overloaded, ask youself why did she only reply with one or two words.
they have to many emails to answer, just be glad u were deleted.
it's easy to spot the ladies that are just tryin on shoes lol! | |

Posted: 6/13/2006 3:48:30 AM | ah...this is a kodak moment eh?..lol..in truth this is a meat market...and it should be treated as such..sadly these site, however they are advertised, are not a meeting place for true love...i have used this site to find interesting people and chat with them..(and no..for the man haters out there this doesnt mean shagging!!)...as a single parent, on a school night i dont get to go out..so i use this as a social thing..so the answer to reading the whole profile???...no..i dont..if if doesnt catch my eye..then i will move on..maybe if it carried something a little different that took sometime to create then we as men would take the time to read it..am tired of reading the same old stuff...and without a picture..you dont have a hope..you have to make sure it does exactly what is says on the tin..lol...

profiles that say; "I don't like head games and players"
I do not like these sort of negative sayings and other ones like it either. It is a turn off right off the bat to read or hear that.
After all who DOES want head games or players anyhow, isn't this a given that doesnt need advertised?? ;-) | |
