Posted: 6/20/2006 11:42:32 AM | | I do read it, or atleast most of it. when i see that there is anger or hostility or male bashing or unreasonable whining then I skip those parts,. Also if i come across soemthing that I don't like in their profile then I stop reading it too. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 11:44:11 AM | I used to have a great profile. Every week I'd get on the profile review threads, and ask for way to change it, and after a while, everyone seemed to agree that it was pretty good. I sent out close to a hundred emails, and never received a reply.
I'm finding now that the difference maker is the picture. Put up a picture of a good looking guy and people respond, put up a picture of me, and nobody responds. So don't give me this B.S. about not reading your profile, the only way I could get anyone to respond to mine was to put up a fake pic. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 12:20:15 PM | | On another dating site I specified in caps that I was only interested in local guys under 30 with a photo and got soooo many messages from men that lived in another country with no photo who were over 40! So do men read the whole profile? They might, but may just not pay attention. If they message me when I've clearly stated i'm not interested in someone like them it show that they either a) didn't read my entire profile, which shows they don't want to hear what I have to say or b) read the profile and chose to ignore what I had to say. Either way, it shows a major lack of respect which is a HUGE turn off and makes me even less interested than I was before! | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 7:11:13 PM | | i am not speaking for every guy on here i am speaking for myself.. i have read every profile that i have looked at... an i even sent a stupid message to someone cause i asked them if the had more pets then just the 2 cats, and if i would have looked at the pictures more then read the profile i would have seen that there was a picture of her dog to.... so i would say that i am more guilty of reading the looking at pics.. | |

No offense taken. And to some point I agree with you! But if I say I would like to meet a guy 5'8" or shorter( not less than 5'4"lol) I would like to get that and not men who are 6' and taller.I am only 5' tall and I am not into climbing my men lol!! The closer the guy is to your height the better you fit if you get my drift. As far as looking for an Adonis, that is ofter the younger girls( I was there once lol) but we all have to be realistic at some point. We all lose our attractiveness at some point in life and have to face it! Thank you for the reply.
bye-bye | |

I do understand! I had a pic up for a bit and got no responses at all because they were not looking at the person within. The pic did make me look fat (Which I ain't) but that is what I was judged by so I took it off and have gotten a few responses, but they still asked for a pic even when I hold them pic's didn't do me justice. Pic's Often lie and a friend of mine knows because she met a guy she thought was cute from his pic, but when se met him face to face she didn't like his look at all!!! So when it comes down to it, it is the person inside that counts but you still need some kind of chemistry.

Posted: 6/22/2006 9:59:23 AM | I can Say i know I read the profile, I have already been thru a relationship where we didn't have alot in common and somehow we were married for 7 years, I would rather read a bit at first and Know it is worth the Carpal tunnel to continue. as for some of the other concerns I hear on here. I am terrible at spelling and I have known that since grade 5 and My grammar is not any better But I am educated (don't let a welding trade fool you) and far from stupid.
I personally do look at the pictures but I have also met some ver nice peole by trolling the water's where there was no picture.
Oh well once again I think it is to each thier own! | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 2:05:09 PM | I always read anybody's profile 100%. Even if it isn't totally acurate, what else do you have to go on at first? Yes the Internet can be a dangerous place, and yes meeting people on th Net is risky, but crossing the road is risky yet we do it every day. Driving is a huge risk we don't think about any more then we think about breathing. So, honestly I agree that one can learn more through instant chat and IM, but at the strart the profile is all you have.
For myself, I ALWAYS read through the entire profile before initiating any kind of contact/communicatipn. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 9:15:58 AM | | What bothers me is they read your profile and apparently liked it and add you to their fav list but never contact you. Are they expecting me to make contact with them just because they added me to their fav? | |

Posted: 7/1/2006 8:31:09 PM | I always read a girl's whole profile...the profile is supposed to be a conversation starter. How am I going to know if a girl is compatible with me just by the fact that she's "hawt" (I think that's what I've heard on here )?
Why would I waste my time emailing someone who is a complete homebody and into nothing I am? I'd get home every day and all I'd hear about was the content of Days of Our Lives, The Bold & The Beautiful, Desperate Housewives and the countless other crap they put on TV all day. If I were desperate or even cared what went on on any of them, I'd record them.
I want someone I can share my life with and enjoy the activities I do, I want to learn about what makes them tick and what motivates their lives.
Looking like a supermodel isn't enough for me, if you can't challenge me and broaden my mind, then what's the point? A relationship should be more than the sum of it's parts. How would you have any inkling it could be that way if you don't read the profile?
If for instance some chick only wants black/puerto rican guys, why would I bother contacting her? It's a waste of her time and more importantly to me, it's a waste of mine. | |

Posted: 7/1/2006 9:24:36 PM | Is it bad that we read the parts we want to see? We are searching for compatibility after all. I think there might be a mathmatical formula out there too, which reads something like L (long profile) X MQ(many qualifiers) = 1/2 email content. I have had a number of women say to me that they wrote cause they saw my pix. I have also learned to keep my profile short and sweet, because, ladies, many of you didn't read my purple prose. ' ' | |

Posted: 7/2/2006 12:22:15 AM | Ladies, Do you think most of them can get to the reading thing? I feel like they look at the pic and have no clue what my profile says, almost like it is too much effort for the poor dears,lol. Good post vixen, I can't wait to hear what the fellas say.......
I got an IM from a young lady here a few weeks ago, and eventually we moved over to MSN to chat - I went on cam.
she: Hey - you smoke?
me: Yes - it's in my profile
2 days later, we talk again. Again, I have my cam on
she: I didn't know you smoked!
me: yes - it's in my profile, AND we had this conversation last time we talked.
Then we met. We're sitting on the waterfront, watching the ducks, and I light up.
she: my god - I didn't know you smoked!
Anyway ...... after a few hours together, as she was leaving, she says "Well - I'm going now, so maybe you can have a few cigarettes on your way home. I'm not interested in being with a smoker"
Idiocy, and the inability to read and absorb information, does NOT discriminate between genders. | |

Posted: 7/3/2006 1:28:21 PM | I'd love to sit and read a womans profile and I will do so when I have the time and all. But I have one question for the ladies. I haven't had time to read all 20 pages of this forum so it may have been asked.
Can women actualy come up with something besides "I'm looking for a good man", or "I'm easy going and easy to get along with", or "I don't like to play head game so don't message me if you're a player"? I love it when a woman will have the stipulations of messaging them such as "must not have messaged looking for sex, must not be married, must not be an alcoholic or a drug user, and must live within 100 miles". These are all very respectable and if I message you, I meet them all. But if you don't want to talk to me because (heaven forbid) you don't like my looks or my interests, then message me back and say "not interested". Heard it before, and will hear it again. If I read your profile, the least you can do is be honest with me. | |

Posted: 7/3/2006 1:36:35 PM | | I love the ones who live 3000 miles away and are looking for a LTR. WTF?? Not only did you not read the profile, but you are also sort of generally reaching for an unattainable goal. | |

Posted: 7/3/2006 1:45:02 PM | Ok, but if a woman says she is looking for a certain age range, body type, or someone who enjoys camping/fishing/outdoors... it gets pretty frustrating getting emails from men way outside the age range, who don't have the body type you're looking for, or hate the outdoors and they proclaim, "We should meet because we have so much in common.
The fact is, I believe most men look at the pretty pictures and decide whether they want to contact us based on their visual perception of who you are. It's a fantasy. Not all profiles are peaches and cream. Some are extremely honest and if a woman takes the time to write what she likes or prefers, why not read it and be sure she's truly what you're looking for or you're what she's looking for? Unless of course, you're only looking for sex. In that case, it's like "reading" a playboy... the pictures are good enough. (sigh)

Posted: 7/3/2006 2:12:48 PM | I'm sure a lot of us guys read the whole profile. I know personally for me, when I send someone a message, I am interested in finding out more about them. I read their profile as well as look at their pics, and assess whether this has possibilities or not. I will then make at least one comment on the contents of their profile, either in a statement or a question.
Yes if they are 3,000 miles away, that's a very big problem and probably shows the person didn't do much reading. But I know there are more guys than not who read it all. | |

Posted: 7/4/2006 3:30:44 AM | | Hey, I have posted a number of great pics with my eyes and my great smile. I posted a ver honest profile, and I have a very good profile. I have gotten messages from two very nice girls, but most of the ones I mail read and delete. So I don't hear that women can't find a good guy, and that they aren't going for the shirtless onenight standers on here. You get what you deserve in this way ladies. | |

Posted: 7/5/2006 3:04:43 PM | personally,I get turned off when a woman has this long ass list of traits
she wants in a man because its just as shallow as a man expecting a woman
to be in perfect shape.I just read it and think well Im not superman so
forget that woman.I think society is pretty shallow in general and it just shows
that women and men can be shallow.What ever happened to just enjoying
some time to get to know someone whether it works out or not.People have
so much expectations of people its no wonder why people tend to not be as
honest as they could be.

Posted: 7/5/2006 3:09:13 PM | | I think that very few men read profiles. Mine is a bit long and I tried to be honest and realistic. Considering that 99% of the men who respond to me are in their early 20s and/or African American, they obviously did not read it. | |

Posted: 7/5/2006 4:28:22 PM | After reading several pages of this particular forum, I skipped to the end. I've been a member since April this year. I read every profile carefully, in contrast to popular belief.
That is why my number of outgoing e-mails is still zero. My number of incoming e-mails is also still zero.
I followed all the "instructions" and had another check my profile, they said it was ok. So, it beats me why this doesn't work for me. I'm not angry or dissappointed, I just don't understand. I think my mail box is broke, or the postman doesn't come here anymore. Anyway, its still fun to think that I could actually meet somebody, and I think thats the draw.
