Posted: 7/22/2006 8:13:15 AM | | I don't know about other guys but I can say that I do. I'll read as long as I'm still interested. If I get to the end and I'm still interested I'll email them. I think that if the guy is seriously looking he'll read the profile. If a guy emails you and it's obvious he hasn't read your profile then he's probably not seriously interested. | |

Posted: 7/24/2006 6:18:34 PM | I'm not a PERFECT angel by any means...
There are even times I can be a wee bit devilish...but I think my profile is pretty much BS free, and straight to the point.
Pretty much. haha
Have a great week everyone, and happy fishing.  | |

Posted: 7/28/2006 5:54:09 AM | If the men don't have the patience to read and understand the entire profiles before contacting the women, then they definately have shown lack of patience for the real relationships. Those men might as well go to the bars. | |

Posted: 7/28/2006 5:57:43 AM | Yes, and few have things in common, so the circle is expanded, I guess some of these guys are out at the outer rings, the ads that have nothing in common and the women are looking for someone that is a total opposite.
I wish this site had reverse matches it would save everyone a lot of time. | |

My thoughts exactly. I don't expect a lengthy email for initiating contact...short and sweet is fine with me, I understand that so many get unread/deleted. I am not above initiating contact either, in fact, I think it is a pleasant surprise for most guys.
I'm curious as to what is considered a lengthy profile. Mine is kind of long, but I did break it down into sections to make it an easier read. As far as no pic, I touch on that in the profile, and those who follow through have not been turned down, nor disappointed.
From the responses I have gotten, it appears most have read my profile, and in my book merits points. I always give an E for effort! A hug and kotc to the fellas who make the minimal effort and take a chance on saying hello. Smiles. | |

Posted: 7/28/2006 11:10:16 PM | Come on, Ladies please let's be honest!...I might be shallow but you know we all want to know what we're getting ourselves into..I mean who wants to be with a old bald 300+ guy thats says in his profile that he enjoys jogging, bike riding,has mastered yoga and swims atleast 100 laps every morning before having his protein breakfast shake.
This happened to me!
I've learned my lesson well...so no pics, no reply..sorry! | |

Posted: 7/28/2006 11:16:07 PM | | I get mails from women all the time who haven't read my profile, or choose to ignore the part where I said I'm only looking for friends. I think blissful ignorance is a 2-way street!! | |

Well I'm new on this site, only 2 weeks or so now.
And all I have to say is that yes I do read the whole profile.
I think if you're here looking, then looking and reading are synonymous, if you're here for the right reason.
I have however found that that many women don't read them either. I have Long Term and what I am looking for, yet I get emails from people who are looking to "Just Hang Out", etc.
I guess I need to maybe use those email setting (filters) better.
I also found that alot of people wrtie one thing and do the opposite.ExAMPLE: Be honest, open, repectful of others etc. Yet in the end it's all window dressing, or more flash on the lure for unsuspecting Fish.
I may be one of the few, but I always reply to anyone that emails me. It's only common courtesy, especially here of all places where alot of people may not be comfortable, and they go out on a limb, just to see "READ DELETED".
So on behalf of the "Men" (as in GentleMEN) on P.O.F. we do read the whole thing. As for the "GUYS" and "BOYS", they are what they are, and in the same regards, I respect the "WOMEN" and understand them, as opposed to the "GIRLS", "BABES" and "CHICKS" here. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 12:02:22 AM | I for one always read the profile, if i dont find it mentally stimulating in some way or another, i dont care how good looking the person is, i wont send messages..... the problem with guys is they normally dont care about the substance, they look at the pic and send a message rather than finding out if there is any kind of common ground. this could also go out to women as well. they can probably look at a pic first, then if they see what they like they read the profile and make the decision of whether they will send a message or not. or i could be wrong about the whole thing lol probably cause i dont think i have good pics.....
point is, no..... men generally do not read the "whole" profiles.... they decifer it into what they want to see with what has been provided. kinda pathetic i think. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 5:45:31 AM | yes...i read the entire profile of everyone i e-mail, and i personalize each "intro" e-mail and "intro" e-mail response in reverse; i get many e-mails where the writer did not read mine. they ask questions where the answer is in the profile.
suggestion: my profile is longer than average to offer the reader a bit more insight than most posts, but i bolded key words for the reader that wants to skim through.

Posted: 7/29/2006 7:43:07 AM | I read the profile unless its written in the style of Gone With the Wind and then I don't bother with it.
I am looking for a few things or key words or whatever you want to call it....love of music, has kids and/or doesn't mind them.....something outgoing and shows outdoor activity.....
I think that at best you get a gist from the ad....anything else is going to be fluff anyway isn't it...
But the picture has to catch the eye first.

Posted: 7/29/2006 10:12:38 AM | My profile is a bunch of nonsense that I wrote.
And,it also says,not once,but several times in several languages "Only here for the Forums".
Hell..I even wrote it backwards!
But,apparently nobody catches that part.
A friend of mine from here just emailed me to tell me about a regular forum poster,who,after calling her "baby cakes",asked if she had any bikini shots to send him.
Her profile clearly states that she met her 'fishie',and that she's moving soon to be with him.Plus,the picture she has of the 2 of them together is a bit of a clue!
So,occasionally,there is a jack-azz out there who can't be bothered. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 1:02:59 PM | I am getting discouraged about the online dating... not only do they find me and have not one thing is common but they have embarassingly old cars and no money. I think the computer is the great equalizer. Even the homeless can find a date here.
All the dates I have gotten are some other poor soul's THROW BACK! 
It is a crap shoot and I am surprised anyone meets on online.
Maybe it is that I am young for my age and I have a cool carreer, a house, a great car, and I am super educated. | |

This is a very easily answered question. The reason you get emails from the type of people who seemed to ignore your specific parameters is because men have learned that women very rarely write exactly what they mean. How many times have you seen the following..... "I like taking long walks on the beach, cuddling, holding hands,etc..."
Answer... in almost every one! What does it mean? Little to nothing...... When a girl writes " I love to travel, have many places I'd like to see" that is code for a girl who wants someone to take care of her, basically a sugar daddy of sorts... then there is the "maybe wants kids" Maybe???? Whos kidding who????? When women get a little more honest, the men that have enough experience and savvy will start believing them..... :) Believe it.

Posted: 7/29/2006 1:52:50 PM | as many of these threads, this is a very generalized question.
Very easy answer: Some Do, Some Don't
simple, simple.
I, for one, do. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 2:22:00 PM | No gender is blameless on this issue. Men and women both want the exact same thing companionship and sex. Just we have been taught to let women worry more about companionship than sex and the opposite from men.
Somehow though my gender is a dog????
For those reading this all humans are social creatures and we all have a drive to have children. Now wanting to rear them for some maybe a different thing???
My suggestion quit blaming the opposite sex for your short comings! | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 2:26:48 PM | I'll order the halibut ... actually I've always prefered cod
Whenever I browse profiles I'll 'bookmark' the ones I find attractive depending on how much time I have.
Then at a later date, when I have the time I'll read the profiles and then in composing an email I'll carefully consider what questions I can ask and jokes or shared interests may be mentioned ... and then I'll wait for the 'read / deleted' ... | |
