I always read the whole profile, even if it's not someone I am going to message. On here, at first anyway, that's all we got to go on. I don't understand why someone would message someone else and NOT read the profile. If you don't know anything about them, what is the point in messaging that person? (Some profiles arn't that informative anyway, but if they have written things in, why not read it? At least you'd have some idea of who you are talking to!)

I/we read them but
that doesn't mean we understand what you are trying to say
much like any conversation on any give day
its in the inflexion when we talk
but local areas use different shocks
cultural changes turn swings into balks
and hey...
that mars and venus thing rocks

Now...you know
some profiles aren't worth the read
like planting a field with unknown seed
all you may get is some prickly weeds
though if you are lucky you'll find some feed
of course there are those who like to fabricate
they think the average is always being late
with a tendency to show size exagerations
then an amazement at unreal expectations
I guess we just have to take that grain of salt
put the key to our hearts in a b.s. proof vault
send out enough emails to fill transport trucks
realizing romantic replies aren't always good luck.

My answer... Yes, if I'm definitely going to send someone a mail. Firstly, the picture has to have enough to make me intrigued, but that's not to say that if you're not stunning I'm not going to mail you, cos that's pretty shallow. Then, i will read the top sections, i.e. what profession they have, what kind of interests they have etc. If I think that we have some things in common or enough to chat about, then I will read the whole profile. There's no point sending someone a 'blind' message, it would waste to much of my, and you ladies' time!
On a kind of seperate note, it does really help if it's a long profile, because then you get a better insight into that person, and can make a better judgement on whether you think you will get along.
Hope this has been of some help :)

OBVIOUSLY WE READ YOUR WHOLE PROFILES. THAT WAY WE DON'T WASTE OUT TIME .ANSWERING THE POMPOUS, PRETENTIOUS OVERWEIGHT MESSED UP COWS THAT CONSTITUTE THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE. WE ARE NOT AS DUMB AS MANY OF YOU EMBITTERED WOMEN THINK. AND WE WON'T JUST SETTLE FOR A ROLL IN THE SACK EITHER. WE WANT REAL WOMEN---COMPLETE. MAYBE I'M LUCKY, BUT I'VE TALKED TO AND MET SOME FABULOPUS LADIES HERE. (I'M ON TWO OTHER SITES, AND JUST CANCELED ONE OF THEM)

Two men in a row who read the whole profile. Look at the contrast in attitudes. Wonder which gets the better responses?

I read them all! The exception, if I am clicking on a profile that is just "Eye-Candy" ( Nice attractive or sexy pics but a quick glance tells you don't bother writing ). But with anyone I am interested in I read the whole thing. The more info the better!

It's nice to be reminded that a 22 year old man can have more depth, maturity, insight, and common sense than some pompous old poot nearly three times his age. You rock, Bic! So do you, Erik.

Actually Jaad.


There is quite a "big" difference between men and women, its called a Labia and completely different reproductive system, if thats not a big enough difference, lets look at the fact that they might enjoy sex, but can live without it. I mean how many women have you come across *realisticly* that have either shot down your expectations of "getting some" or have told you they wanted to wait? personally and honestly speaking, i have had quite a few say that to me. Where as in i whined and moaned as a teenager and into my early 20's about how it was "soo hard, and that i cared so much about them and wanted to share something special with them" what a load BS! i did not want anything special, i was just to horny to want to hold out, and did not even put the effort into trying to hold out...yet i could put *endless* effort into trying to seduce her into giving it up, and trust me brother, there is nothing less enticing or seductive to a woman, then a whiney man, who has no willpower.

Not to mention the fact that the creator of this post and the female views here within the thread, are pretty dam accurate, men see the picture, are either instantly attracted or shallowly turned off if a woman is heavier. Without even reading the profiles most of the time, and i know because i have had friends do this

" J ,come check this girl out, she is f...ine....oh wait she has kids,screw that, oh wait she is bottom heavy" ~clicks out of profile~

So count your blessings dude, if a woman messages you on here, its because she read your profile and liked what you said, sure the picture might have made her go " hmm okay he is handsome" but if she messages you its because she feels you have promise and is interested in what you have to say.

If your putting up a picture of your chest or body, what are you looking for man? The only women you are going to get messaging you is the "wrong kind" and they are usually younger and have their lives ahead of them, they dont want to settle down or love you, they want to experience life...

And if they do settle down at 20 without experiencing the world and its many flavors, then they might regret it. Women are symbolicly the universe that houses creation, we as men are but the milky way. And they have some serious power, i mean hell, how many poems did you write in school or -throughout your life- for a girl? how many times did you give a girl something to make her smile ,or say something to make her laugh, how many times did you want to be someone you were not for a girl, or get all glossy doe eyed, when one would pay attention to you.....the simple fact is, women have inspired men all through history, inspired us to become the first president, to build cities and ships in their names, to write famous sonnets, and plays, they inspire us to try and understand that which we cannot, and most of all they inspire us to act like complete idiots, bumbling and stuttering over our words, thinking for hours on end about how to approach them,what would make them notice us....and thats some heavy stuff.
So next time you come across some beautiful womans picture, stop to think about how many times she has probably heard " hey your hot, wanna hook up?" or " wow your hot, wanna hook up?" or a good example is a message my friend lorna got from a guy on here " I had a girlfriend that looked like you, it reminds me of what a good thing we had" trust me, take the time, read the profile, there are some pretty dam cool ladies out there who have alot to say and offer, and dont discriminate, some of the most beautiful women i know come in all shapes and sizes...be original and honest.

cheers, and good luck..just be yourself, and if anyone does not like it, their loss...i am sure someone will appreciate what you have to offer at some point.

Ps...if you really want to make a woman happy, and show her she is special and that you mean business and are not just thinking of yourself, have her sit on your chest,with both feet on either side of your head, so she is looking down on you, and trace the alphabet with your tounge on her magic button...thats a power position, and god knows they deserve it for the shit they put up with,from us sex hungry animals! I wish they had taught me that S%#@t in highschool! better yet kiss her forehead or smell her hair, soak these exotic,inspiring creatures in. give her temple beautiful offerings of fertility...dont trash the place!

First I look at her photos. If she passes my looks test, I read her profile to see if I think we may be compatible. So far the girls that really appeal to me live too far away.

And once again, two guys as different as night and day. Frezno, I can see why so many women have you on their favorites list. I think any woman would be lucky to catch a young man like you. As for commenting on the boy's post below yours, well, my Grandma always told me if I couldn't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all...

I read profiles.. becouse I have seen to many times where I would date someone and got hurt becouse I knew nothing about them... but I also chat with them before I do anything with them to see if they are really telling the truth about everything..;. getting to know the persion hands on is the best way though

I noticed something - the same guys that do read profiles are the same guys that post in these forums. The ones that don't post or write, don't read much either. I know this because despite the great guys here that say they do read em, I still get people who don't get what I am looking for, and even argue with me about it and tell me what they think I am here for. This week I told a guy twice I wasn't looking for anything and he told me well he disagreed, he thought I was. LOL

W/E!!

It's a whole different set of guys that are doing that crap. It's just interesting....

oldschoolqueen is probably right, insofar as the ones that read, write also. Without being too harsh, it's called literacy...if you want to attract someone in a medium where the only thing she can really infer anything from is the quality of your prose, you had better write something cogent.

And to write something cogent, you have to actually understand something about your audience.

Which is why a LOT of the profiles from women on here are frustrating. If a woman doesn't say anything meaningful about herself, but posts a physically attractive photo, what can you possibly say to her other than, "hey, you look hot, wanna meet?".

Of course, your other alternative is to post a photo. Then you get the women that choose based on the photos and do not read your content. But if you want that, what's the point of posting about yourself online? Might as well just go out and chase random women who are only interested in your looks or your propensity to buy stuff for them.

And as far as the malajusted types oldschoolqueen is talking about, well, they will always be with us, producing irritation and paranoia amongst the women on here which they rest of us have to deal with. Oh well.

One time I took a womans profile, and all the things that she liked......I made a funny story out of all those things.

It was sorta long but interesting, and misspelled

If the profile looks interesting enough for me to send a message. I study It, almost memorize it and look at it again. They also should to live nearby. I don't just send out messages because I like the photo, there has to be much more. I will also read some of their forum posts if they have any.

I read most of all the profiles that interest me. I don't read all the poems I skip over them. However it seems we all are looking for the same person or at least the ladies are. In all most all I have read it is the same description of a man.

Reality does not set in until you message them that now they have to show the real gal and then they are speechless. Ask them for their true to heart answers and they scatter.

When did women become so weak. Stop worrying about looking like a tramp or a **** because you tell a guy scram. What are you here for on this site???

You want to play on your key boards buy a video game play night and day almost no difference.

If you are determined in finding your man then get with the program talk, exchange ideas, meet learn more. Stop hiding behind your computer screens and responding to forums if you were out on dates you would have no time wondering why he did not read my profile what waist of time...

The next guy that contacts you talk, meet then greet and then find another guy and do it again until you are sure this guy is the one. Trial and error.

I have been there " In love" and I want to be there again. If want it too then reach out and grab it.

Damn you men! Why don't y'all read before responding? C'mon now, read the profile first boys, THEN look at the pictures of their assets...respond only if you're interested in what they've got to say. Now that we're talkin' bout it, why don't men listen either? Always talkin' about themselves! Selfish, selfish, selfish.

Of course they do. Men or women, there is not much difference; both are primarily attracted by photos rather than what is written in the profiles. No young lady meeting the description from my profile of someone I would like to meet had initiated contact. A number of women that I specifically excluded from being interested in meeting have initiated contact. I suppose, just like men, nothing ventured; nothing gained. However, none have suggested that we meet. I always answer politely such as thanking them for their compliment of my profile or photos, and/or stating that I enjoy the forums. Most only send me one message and don't respond to my reply.

I look in this sequence:

Is she within the age range I am looking for
Quick look at stats along with a quick look at pictures
Read profile, sometimes skim if it is long. Look for interests and tone (angry, happy, etc)
Look over interests. This is important especially if she likes things I know I don't.
Review their posts to forums. If they don't post I would think twice before contacting.

We all have things that we find appealing. That's not being critical, just honest. But we don't need to be insensitive about it.
