| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 6/14/2006 10:33:22 PM | Yes, but I must admit, some women have a tendency to write really exhaustive profiles, most of which when they are really long, are just replete with a lot of ego massaging sentences. We men are a simple lot. You just have to spell it out in simple declarative sentences and tell us you are on POF just to impress us and not here to encourage us to contact you.
It is amazing to me how so many women get on this dating site to, apparently I guess, find men and then become angry when men contact them. Ladies, if you don't want to be contacted, don't join POF. It's that simple. But don't become upset when you provide sensual pictures revealing body parts to whet our appetites and along with that verbal come-ons to seduce our interest. Come on ladies, use some common sense. | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 11:12:45 PM | It's not that we don't want to get contacted, but we want what we want and we say that on our profiles!! If i wanted a man 6' tall i'd say that! If I say I want an attractive man I expect him to be attractive. I could go on and on.
And as far as pics go some of them are just bad and mine is and that's why it's not up!! If you see me in person you would know what I'm saying. A friend of mine met a guy online and he looked cute in the pic but when we met him Oh NO! My pic is the opposite.  | |

Well where is your pic hotstuff!! Women want the same thing but we don't go around insulting everyone that is not up to our standards. If you are that shallow who would want to meet you anyway? Rating pic,s is sooo childish!!! Like my wise mom says, we'll all get ugly someday and you have to like the person your with!!!!

Posted: 6/14/2006 11:41:03 PM | | Ladybird: "It's not that we don't want to be contacted, but we want what we want and we say on our profiles!!" Really? So, POF is like going to a grocery store with a list of specifically rare brand named items you want, and if you don't find the rare brand named item (s), you don't buy a needed commodity, right? Some of the female profiles are so restrictive that there aren't any flesh-and-blood men who can fill them. What am I saying? They are unrealistic! Anyway, not to belabor the point, all you ladies have the right to be restrictive and exclude all the really nice men on the planet. More power to you. I don't write to any of you anyway, so I don't really have an ax to grind, just some feelings I harbor about some of the profiles I've read. Please don't take offense. lol | |

Posted: 6/15/2006 12:42:10 AM | | I read the whole profile about a third of the time. Usually something in the profile says to go to the next profile pretty quickly. However if she looks interesting enough to send an email to I read the whole profile. | |

Posted: 6/15/2006 1:12:16 AM | | I owuld say half the men don't even read our profiles they look at the pic and send a message. But there are those few that do. You can tell by the way they talk to you and if they already know stuff about you!! | |

Posted: 6/15/2006 3:37:14 AM | Hey Flirtygirl , one of the things thigs I have found out on these forums is that no one speaks the truth in their profiles and therefore do not read the whole message . If you wish to know the treuth about someone , talk via yahoo or on the telephone prior to meeting them. But I must say I am impressed by your profile | |

Posted: 6/15/2006 1:33:10 PM | I have read a great deal of these 21 pages -- and yes i am a male -- there are several topics on this thread --- first as with everything -- yes there are men who read the whole profiles -- as well as women who dont read the whole profile -- why stereo type --- as for why do some respond hoping for a match -- well im 5'7" and i have read a few profiles that i wouldve responded but... they are looking for 5'8" hhmmm blame my genetics for that --- i dont specifically put down something as i might miss the one -- by an inch -- i mean its not like i am putting down only women with 36 b/c bra size reply.
Secondly, pictures -- there are various pictures -- i have seen men with their cars and women with their pets -- one lady has three different pics of cats --- its their profile who cares what they show -- as for not responding to profiles with pics -- well what happens when you do get that pic after talking for a week --- THIS is for both MALES and FEMALES -- you get the pic and or decide to meet -- and well lets say there is no chemistry -- if that is being politically correct -- and one or the other decides NOT to see the other person -- next thing you know -- theres 21 pages 0f why do men go on a first date and not talk anymore ---
anyway there are other topics in here but thats 2 of the main ones.... we are all here looking to meet -- for dating, for forever, or just to hook up -- i went to meet someone for easter after talking to them for over a year -- i flew out -- stayed at a hotel and paid for everything -- well apparently she had a change of heart and i sat in a hotel in the middle of nowhere with no car for three days --- so should i blame all the women -- i would like too -- but it only hurts me -- and its hurts the next lady ----
Thank you for allowing me to put in my 2 cents --- hhmmm to all those who took the time to read this ....... | |

Posted: 6/15/2006 4:25:42 PM | I read every word of a profile.
What I find 'most all the time is a plea for honesty,denegration of "mind games",that sort of thing.
We men must be mostly congenital liars and abusers.And when a man lies,my true response is that much more difficult for any lady to believe.
Liars of either sex should become truthful before they inveigh here!

Posted: 6/15/2006 11:04:43 PM | | Some of us actually do read the profiles through. On occasion it is a two way street, rarely I'm sure as women tend to be deeper than men, but I think it goes both ways sometimes. Anyway, it's only a start and the internet is such an easy place to be less than honest for both men and women - who knows what you're reading? I tend to be honest so I don't have to explain myself later. :-) | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 12:37:57 AM | | I'm fairly new to this site...and to the whole "online" manner of meeting people. For me, the profiles are like a brief introduction at a gathering. But, rather than a friend introducing you, the person themselves is doing the introduction. After that...it's up to you to do your own "learning" of a person to determine if they are someone you would actually like to spend some of your time with. I do read them, and if there are things that are "total turnoffs" I don't make any further contact, just as I would in "real" life. If there is something there that is interesting or that I would like to know more about...that is where further contact is initiated. Anyhow...that's my two cents worth on the subject. | |

No. And I know women don't read ours. Nobody bothered to comment when I had in my profile that I was looking to cheat on my wife, or that I was an ex-con, that my "services" required a down payment, or when I claimed that I was once a woman. I still got replies, but nobody ever commented on these things. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 4:24:45 PM | | i dont think that guys read profiles, well at least not all of them. I get messages all the time asking me stuff that I had written in my profile, its like, helloo dont you know how to read? lol... I think that they just like to look at the picture, but i think the profile helps to so then you can kinda get to know a person a little bit better, or at least try to | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 12:05:39 AM | | yeah sure there are plenty of woman on who are just as evil if not worse than men are when it comes down to it! I think her point was woman who message you because you have a six pack are probably dirty! Did you post a shirtless pic to prove a point? not trying to sound rude just curious? | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 10:03:20 AM | I think most read and disregard or don't read at all. I don't know about all women, but I get men who e-mail me and I ask why they did when they are looking for totally different than I am, and point out something in my profile, they say yeah it said that but I figured once you met ME that you would change your mind. Or they tell me what's in profiles doesn't matter from most women they have talked to...like that has anything to do with me.
Go figure. | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 7:00:01 PM | A picture is worth a thousand words. That is why I personally look at your picture, and if I am attracted to you I read your profile. Sometimes you may have a great body etc but I am looking for more than that. So sometimes profiles also help in weeding out unwanted traits etc. (sometimes I may not be attracted but I am curious about you as a person so I may read your profile) . I definately make sure to take the time to read the whole profile before I send out an e-mail. I think that is the best way to connect with the person behind the picture.
That's my 2 cents!

Posted: 6/19/2006 9:10:55 PM | I do, but when I see too much 1337 then I am giving up.
Spelling / how they (you) express yourself tells me more than one may think. Profiles (even with hot pictures) that have almost no text I usually don't care.
Ummm, but yes, I do  | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 10:12:34 PM | I read every profile carefully and sometime they make no sense. Forget slang, some people just can't spell, that's a turnoff. Some off the best profiles got 85 favorites, delete some of that sh**. I want to make contact too. I want to talk, get to know you. The younger girls have some nice profiles but they to young for me.  | |
