| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 12:31:23 PM | | I read the whole profile. Yes, I look at the pics, but I want to know more, so I read. I find the humour in some profiles to be hilarious. Some profiles have about three words in them which always disappoints me. | |

How many times have you ever seen a man read an owner's manual for anything?
You haven't been over at my place. I don't read fiction, and manuals are entertainment for me. I like reading your profiles because it really shines the light on who you are... | |

I'm still here because i am enjoying the forums and gatherings. My profile was very specific in stating my reason for being here. I pretty well emptied my profile because my words were ignored. Every woman that met me knew what to expect before, during and after meeting. I was very disappointed in many of their behaviours. I'm here for the social aspect... that's all. I don't need to put notches in my bed post as I am not a horny teen.
After reading the profiles of many, I can't help think what they are really like. There self descritptions are very impressive. It's rather surprising to read that they are still single... the men should be pounding at their doors.
I've been to several POF events and there are things I witnessed that would suggest their profile is exagerated. Bill Clinton could submit a very impressive profile.... words are only text. I give it some credibility, but I don't suck it up like a sponge. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 2:30:25 PM | Just curious. Do you guys read our whole profiles Pssss, that's just crazy talk of course we don't read the profiles.... I mean look at it this way - I have a generic email that I have saved in a word file on my PC, every night I cut and paste that generic email to at least 50 women, can you imagine how much more time it would take for me to actually read the profile!!! I mean think of it as a production line with 4 operations (1) I click on a profile (2) I copy and paste my generic email (3) I send it (4) I wait for the return emails to come a floodin' in...If I added another operation that would reduce my efficiency/productivity
Do you think that you're the one that's going to change my mind on what i'm looking for?. Ummmm, heck yeah I do!!!!!!
Ok, is that all cleared up now!!!???!!!  | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 2:54:11 PM | I read the profiels and I think it is kind of short sighted of you to think that men can all be lumped together. I guess that means that all women are the same since many of them don't read a profile either or get past the pictures.
Interesting how it goes when both sexes do the same things. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 3:04:26 PM | I've run a "test" of sorts for awhile now and nobody...NOBODY...has picked up on it...
You don't even have to read half of the profile to find it... | |
|
| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 3:04:30 PM | I would rather just see pictures off the site altogether.
Then everyone would have less to b*tch about for one thing.
You would be forced to read profiles. Some profiles are actually quite good. People with 2 lines of profile information would have to upgrade. You would have to actually get to know the person first instead of a photo first impression which is usually not correct anyways.
Get rid of the annoying 'I love the attention' breast shots and shirtless 'gift to the world' guy shots.
I read women's profiles even ones with no pictures. But, as soon as they say ' I don't want this and don't want that' Gag me with a spoon, Next.
down to earth positive profiles get two thumbs up. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 3:47:49 PM | Site’s fine just like it is… pictures, b*tching, breast shots and all... lol
If I’m interested I will read every word of a profile, and between the lines too…often… and every forum post (if possible...:) | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 4:02:54 PM | Not a man, but as one that receives mail from men, I'm guessing they read it, but just don't accept it, or fully comprehend it, or don't feel like finishing it, or think "ahh hell, but that doesn't apply to ME!", or "she's just SAYING that, she doesn't mean it", or "I bet *I* can talk 'er into it!", and on and on and on.
I don't have the proper lure, apparently. Most of what I bait is, well, people that just seem intensely confident that they can break me and somehow get some nookywooky from me.

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 5:31:43 PM | | I stop reading profiles if I see typos, or "U" in place for "You". Anything about an ex still being around, or partying. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 5:37:33 PM | The women in this site that are looking for anything more than a superficial guy that wants a good boob shot and a quick lay are pretty much out of luck. These were pretty much the responses I thought I'd get from the men here. (some were kind) I have the decency to email someone back and say thank you. A lot of you guys are too spineless to even let someone know that "hey sorry, but I'm looking for something else". You b**** and carry on until you can call or get a pic out and then you don't even bother to thank the person for responding. Grow some spines in here boys and do what your mom taught you to. Be courteous! Vixen | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 5:45:01 PM | BucsGirl and Travisty... Xcellent posts...
I unlike some enjoy the longer posts, as it truly says something about the person(mental note: for those who care to write)..... even if it is all rubbish.... you can spot the rubbish too...
The Unread/Deleted can be really annoying sometimes.... (I've had it a couple of times)...
I am a real busy person that juggles multiple jobs and interests.... but it is really a blessing because it says alot about them... also that lack of consideration will gain them what they want least... so all is fair....
As for expectations when you set up loads of them, you will get exactly what you don't want... Murphy's Law....
Love is about being surprised... I am very selective but I try to give people the chance to prove me wrong.... most of my best dates have gone that way... I try to remember too that love finds you when you least expect it.... if you stop searching for it, it will find you...
Till then I just enjoy the new people I befriend, and expect nothing in hopes that I will get what I want (My Princess)....
It makes it more enjoyable..... | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 5:47:26 PM | Hey everyone I do try and read the whole profile before emailing someone but the truth is that there are sometimes when one or two words can be a major turn down. Like the do you drink , or marital status , I've been seperated for a couple of years now but i think that women may read that and not want to even talk to me . Something i have noticed about myself is that in Ocala Florida where i am living rightnow there doesn't seem to be too many women online here on this site . | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 5:51:00 PM | I think most of us do, at least initially. Here's the thing, I find it hard to believe that someone can capture all that they are, all that they hope and dream for, all that they have to offer in a text written profile. Also, you have to admit, some profiles are pretty... well..."different". Sometimes, it is hard to know if someone is just being playful or not. So the way I look at it is you try to look for something, at least one thing, that you may have in common, or something that you find interesting as a starting point, as long as you don't find any deal killers in the profile and then initiate contact to see where things go from there.
The profile is the tip of the iceburg, and like a box of chocolates - you can't get the whole picture from the tip showing in the profile, and when you dig deaper into the box of chocolates you just never know what you are going to get.. Our lives, our hopes, our dreams are a whole lot more complicated than the simple view presented in the profile.
Also consider this, we all know that sometimes we say one thing, and mean another now don't we? And sometimes we don't really know what we want, but think that we do? If this doesn't apply to you, then consider me envious.. ;-)

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 5:57:38 PM | well I don't read profiles..I will sometimes, I think just actually talkin to the person is better, or reading what they have to say on certian topics in the forums is another wonderful way to get to know all about them. If I see something they've said on the forums that caught my eye, I'll go read their profiles..but normally I don't..ya huh I know I'm shameful..*hangs head in shame*
ok over it  | |
