| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 10/25/2006 11:21:56 AM | | I tend to look at their interests and hobbies. Then I read their "About Me" portion and see if I would be able to get along with them.. if so.. then I'll fire off an email. | |

Posted: 10/27/2006 12:53:38 AM | | most men do read the profiles. thats how we know there are more things written in the "To message her you must meet this criteria" than there are in the actual profile. | |

Posted: 10/27/2006 3:19:19 PM | | Most of the time, men look at the pictures. Because they are visually aroused. and then read. That is my experience! | |

Posted: 10/27/2006 3:20:44 PM | I always judge whether I would like to contact the person in particular by what's written in their profile.
I use the profile to discern more about a person. Sometimes people talk about themselves in greater detail, sometimes people talk a load of crap.
Either way, if someone had a blank box (should this even be possible, which it's not) there's no way I could make a decision to contact them to start a relationship. I don't care if they are a supermodel, if they are the sexiest most attractive person I have ever seen... A picture and description alone is just not enough. I need some input from that person themselves.
So no. If I see somebody I believe I am genuinely interested in, I don't skip anything no matter how long it is. If I make the assumption that it's not leading anywhere by continuing to read it, then I will stop, and I will also most probably close the profile.
I also always try to keep something "related" in a message. I believe this builds a connective bridge to common ground between myself and that person in particular. Also, if I cannot find anything related, I will close the profile.

Posted: 10/27/2006 5:06:35 PM | | I'd rather read whats in a persons profile beacuse it can give you some icebreaker information like what they do for a living or what they like do to for hobbies and such. it becomes difficult when they have little or no information in their profile. also having info in a profile will let me decide whather or not i would make contact with the woman. | |

Posted: 10/29/2006 8:19:47 AM | | I read the entire profile before I even decide if I want to pursue even a chance to talk to her . There may be one deciding factor , hobby or even interest , which would tell me if she's worth taking up her time . | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 5:53:18 PM | | Sure I read through the whole profile. The question I have is why don't women respond to a question generated from reading their profile? | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 6:01:29 PM | Unless the profile rivals an unabridged version of "War and Piece" and is not full of verbose non-sense and egotistical manure........ well I want to know what makes you tick before I tweak you. POF provides a mechanism to avoid making a mistake! Works both ways! If you read my profile and see something you do not like....... well why waste your time? The main objective is to find that someone whose profile provides a tool by which you can get to the truth. Some profiles are so desperate the authors betray themselves with contradictions! Be yourself, wouldn't you rather be with someone you like tonight instead of deciphering all this cyberchatter? I would rather have an empty mailbox than waste time with dead end efforts!

Posted: 11/3/2006 6:11:48 PM |  WHY BOTHER, Reading 16 Pages of Profile,for a woman who has NO CLUES AS TO WHO OR WHAT SHE WANT's and may never even reply to The letters of Howdy that we send???
I file that under a silly waste of time...
 Now if you write to me,THEN I READ YOUR ENTIRE PROFILE...
But since women tend to be fickle and they don't even know what they might do next,READING YOUR PROFILE, is just plane silly...
 9 times out of 10 Your Profile is just a snap shot of how you were feeling when you wrote it any way... ...So what are we really reading anyway...   | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 8:43:50 PM | No at first I don't, I go on how I feel getting to know them through our letters. If after a couple of letters I gain interest I read the whole thing. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 11:17:46 AM | Proof men DON"T Read!!
end of my profile states that IMs freezes my screen.............and what do i get all the time??
a frozen screen (so i often hide my profile)
...of all the mail i get, I've only had TWO men clearly state in their mail that they notice my status. Those men have my upmost respect and gratitude for paying attention! No offense to others but these two, I call smart. And that's my kinda guy
I realize some may be nervous when typing it out and forget things. But seriously if you're going to take the time to contact someone.. throughly read their profiles. It could save a lot of embarassment and work in your favor. This goes for women contacting men too. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 1:15:08 PM | I am soooooo guilty of not reading the profiles that take a solid week to finish. But hey, that should be expected. They serve as an insight into you, not to tell your entire story. I figure most people skim through them, remember important points and work with those.
I also find that half the time, what is said in the profile doesn't match the person behind it. You're trying to sell yourself, right? Who in their right mind is going to admit to having a third nipple or jealousy issues?
The other thing is, we are all looking for the ideal mate, who quite frankly, doesn't exist. To expect perfection is absurd and destines you for a life of solitude. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 3:52:40 PM | | I read profiles, but I know for a fact the guys who used to write me a few months ago never read mine...So I changed it. It's amazing how many men message me now and I know they've read my profile. I think they write because it's a challenge to see if I'll answer them back or not (you'll have to read my profile to understand what I mean). I've had a number of guys email me offering suggestions to help me 'fix' my profile. I love it. It's just funny. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 10:59:12 PM | You read it or tried to help me fix it? I think you read the original, didn't you?
I probably owe you an email, don't I? Oh, the pressure!! | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 12:18:57 AM | That's a good question? Why are you here? you have so many to chose from by now you don't need to be here do you.?
I can't speak for anyone but myself and maybe I should not even respond to such a silly question. If there is a picture there then it is there and you have to click to see the profile. But I go look at the profile before I reply. But I am not the average and I don't care if you believe it or not. To the one who said you delete your mail because it is longer than normal then I just think you are making a mistake. But it tells me something about someone who would say that. | |

Naa, No pressure here, lady. I just liked the photos from Italy, if you remember. And yeah, I read your profile (and said nothing) from time to time.

If MEN don't read, and I saw on your profile where it states your IMs freeze on your screen, and haven't bothered sending an IM with knowing that it freezes the screen, not only is it logical for me NOT to IM you, but proof that I was curious and READ your profile. Looks down to double check to make sure I'm still a MAN. YEP!
Kind of like a statement my ex girlfriend made to me once a couple years ago.
I noticed a GUY pushing a baby stroller down the side of the road (country road), and made a comment to my girlfriend setting next to me "That's rude, the sun is beating down in the kid's eyes because the visor thing isn't pulled out."
Her first remark was.........most men don't think about stuff like that.
Hmmmmmmm shy of having a Bill Engvall moment, and doing my own HERE'S YOUR SIGN to her, I just MADE a comment about that, so not ALL men don't think about stuff like that.
That's where these forums are so comical. I do get a good laugh at the........Why do ALL men (whatever)?...........or Why do ALL women(whatever)?
In honoring my ability to not be like many of the ALL MEN, I love adding my 2 cents as proof that not ALL MEN are alike!
ALL the women that insist on categorizing ALL the guys into one basic group are the ones that I know for sure that I won't be interested in, because that would indicate that I would be fighting daily against the Ghost of Dating Past.
Why do ALL the women that complain about ALL the men not reading their profiles think that a guy can't read down to the part where you click on the button to contact the person?
