| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 9/27/2006 1:26:44 AM | | I read the profiles. Of course, I take them with a grain of salt. I think that it is difficult to believe that the way a person portrays themself on a dating website will tell you what they are like. Noones gonna tell you they are sweet, but that they have a closure problem froma past relationship which is hindering their ability to commit. It's fun to read what people say about themselves. I like the more creative ones. | |

Posted: 9/27/2006 9:33:34 AM | | I have to say that yes, I do. The profiles mean a lot as far as finding out if we have things in common. I have in my favorites several profiles that do not have pictures. Admittedly, the photos are great, but in all honesty, it's about the person. If you don't read the entire profile, you are wasting time sending letters to people who really may not have much in common with you. | |

Posted: 9/27/2006 12:51:01 PM | | Of course I read the profiles although I don't believe all of it as the truth. I'm not saying that people here are liars but you don't really know somebody until you've spent some time with them. The profiles are there to grasp our attention, especially for those who are seriously looking for the "one". I know my 'About Me' section can scare people off but I'm not gonna give out all my characteristics right away. I try to make people laugh instead. The fun thing about dating is finding out about each other. | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 10:08:01 AM | thank you for that comment about there are sincere and honest people out here. im sort of new to this but not so new to life that i cant read between the lines in my emails. i feel it is like this and yeah oppinions are like well u know if not ask someone lol. but i have had many emails and i know which have read and which havent but it is up to the person reading the profile to ignore what might be there they need to know about a person to start a good conversation off or you just might miss out on something very special. no one knows where the right one is but conversation and communication is what starts a great friendship which in turn can turn into a beautiful relationship but you have to have something to start that with and a picture welp it doesnt tell u much because i have met some very beautiful women and men that had the suckiest personality which made them very ugly to me. yeah ima long winded kida woman but i love communication without it lifes boring and lonely and welp i refuse to be that.  | |

all the way through, especially if they are so long!! | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 10:30:21 AM | I have to agree with most of you I do not think men actually read out profiles. The first thing you get judged on is you picture... So is a picture worth a thousand words?? I do not even think men can think of a thousand words. I have found that most of the men want one thing.. SEX. I am tired of so much pressure being placed on sex. There is more to me than just that. I want to find an honest guy and please be romantic. Holding hands is not a sin. If it is for you I am sure you willbe forgiven. SORRY GUYS IF I AM TOO HONEST.  | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 10:43:37 AM | ^^ Nothing at all wrong with being honest. I happen to completely disagree with you, but nothing wrong with that either. So long as we are being honest, perhaps you need to honestly ask yourself this question: "If I honestly feel this way, then why am I here?"
If you examine your own feelings on this matter Rach, I am willing to bet that you have good reasons for being here, in fact I would more or less put money on it. There must be something good about Men, or I feel you wouldn't be so bothered by the bad. So Let's be honest...Share the good stuff too!
Have fun ;)!
PS: For the record, I do look at pics first (I am a Man), but I, and many other Men DO in fact read every inch of a profile before contacting a woman. Pretty covers are nice, but it doesn't make up for a boring story. | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 12:51:39 PM | | Hiya actually I always try to read a profile unless its so long I get bored, but you can't go purely on a profile to know someone, does anyone chat anymore? | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 2:24:24 PM | Typically the men emailing me have NOT read the profile, because mine clearly states I want someone who can share a faith with me, while their profiles have 'non-religious'. I had to put "Read the Profile Please" on my photo as a result, and.. voila, now just the occasional "I didn't read it but am hoping to get some" message.
One IM'd me, and after a few exchanges it was obvious he wanted only one thing (despite having decided to read it when I asked how much of it he'd seen)! He STILL thought he could get lucky.
*sigh*.........boggles the mind ... | |

Ladies and Gentlemen,
You all say how you're looking for saints (I'm tired of games, looking for an honest, hard working... not into shallow) you get the idea. Yet, you keep going after those who have no kind of religious or moral convictions. I hesitate to be a little snide here but, duh! You can't have your cake and eat it too. Ladies, put downdown your skirts, Gentlemen, button up your trousers and let's all act like respectable men and women and maybe we'll finally get what we say we're looking for. | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 12:49:45 AM | | I read most profiles. Unfortunately they all say the same damn thing. Check the female profiles and see how many times "outgoing" and "sense of humor" pop up. When I see those words, I move on regardless of what the profile says. Take a look for yourself and you'll see that I am right. What other trite words and phrases are we sick of seeing guys? | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 5:18:52 AM | Rach, you comments were indeed honest. They were also sexist, anti-male and hateful.
You don't think men know 1000 words.... I am thinking of 80 or 90 right now just about you.....
How dare you generalize that way.... no place for that. | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 5:15:57 AM | I just read one all the way through. Here's why a lot of people DON'T read them.
First date:
I would like maybe to go to a nice dinner followed by a movie. Then maybe a walk on the beach to watch the sunset.
Dinner, and a movie, and then watch the sunset. Sunset? AFTER the movie? Where do you live, Alaska? The will be no sun before DESSERT arrives, my dear, much less after the movie...
Cliche after cliche after cliche....
Dinner, movie, beach. That's 6 hours. You want to gamble that the bozo you meet is going to be someone with whom you want to spend 6 hours?
Make the profiles real, folks, and we'll read them. Strolling hand in hand on the beach as the surf gently nips at our toes is the kind of yada yada that you see in chick flicks. | |

 I love it!! Thanks for the laugh. 
As for the OT, yes, I read profiles of people before I contact them. | |

What other trite words and phrases are we sick of seeing guys?
You are so right that there is a certain consistency about certain words and phrases in profiles. Another trite one is "No baggage...". I'm not quite sure if adding this to a profile is of any benefit - the folks with the baggage are exactly the ones that are oblivious to it!
And anyways, puhleeze, but if you're in your late 30's and above, and you don't have any baggage, then you haven't reall lived. How the heck can anyone arrive into their 40's without baggage? Because they lived in a hermetically sealed cave their entire life ? Or perhaps with their parents their entire life and had no responsibilities till now ? Then again, if you are still living with your parents and have no responsibilities, and you're 42, then, jeez, talk about baggage....  | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 11:23:00 AM | | Reading the whole profile can prevent the wasting of lots of precious time . I'm not going to send someone a msg if I'm obviously not her type because I don't have an elbow fetish, for example. | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 6:53:36 PM | | I do, as long as its easy to read, not that i have trouble reading. I am very good at it, But I am talking bout, if it is fun, smooth informing. Basically, if it is not boring, or un-interesting. I will read all of it. Even with a picture, I will read all of it. | |

Posted: 10/6/2006 1:16:48 AM | | I absolutely do. How do I know if I have an interest with someone if I don't read the whole profile? It doesn't make sense. It makes it easier for me to contact someone by at least seeing what we can go do together that makes us both comfortable and happy at the same time. | |

Most women on here should put a warning in their profile: "Likes endless email tag" | |
