| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 12/3/2006 9:36:03 AM | I agree.I always read the whole profile.95% of women dont reply to my messages after ive read they're profile.I think there are just as many women as men who dont read profiles.
Ive changed my profile loads of times and still dont get any messages.
In short -YES ! 'Us Men' (or me) DO read the whole profile.
Im not looking for some stunning picture either.I dont judge a book by its cover.
Most womens profiles are very boring -i wish theyd write MORE ! | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 4:46:51 PM | I have to agree here. I mean, firstly, a hell of a lot of women have two sentences at best, so we cant be expected to know that much about you. Plus, if we have been chatting to you for a while, and then ask something that has been answered on your profile, dont get angry, its just that we dont remember somethin we read once, a week or so ago.
I am actually a firm beleiver that most women are more shallow than most men.
Take films for example; men want a good storyline to follow, good actors, a real chemistry that brings the film to life, but i cant tell you the amount of women i have heard say they watch films coz there is a 'fit/hot/sexy' guy in it! I work in a video shop, and guys always pick exciting films, and women just grab the nearest box with Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt on it. Sory if it sounds like i am stereotyping, but its true! | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 12:08:37 AM | | Well I see no point. You have to assume that no one is telling the truth on here. I met a girl off this site and her picture was not what she put down. I met her and was appalled at the difference. Plus my friend, who is also on this site, met her and was shocked by the before and after. Well a couple of weeks later he's on this site checking out girls is Austrialia and he sees a familar thong ass shot. Well if it wasn't the same chick we met that day. Can 2 girls have the very same ass, tatoo, photo, and the same lighting? I doubt it so either they both are lying, the Austrailian girl is lying, guanteed the girl I met was lying because her ass was not in the same shape as that other ass. | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 12:17:56 AM | | Yeah I met a chick off here and in her picture she had a beutiful well tanned ass in her photo. Well I meet her.as is out of wack. Friend of mine is on this site couple weeks later looking at chicks in Austraila. Guess what? Same ass! Same Picture! I was appalled. Why would you lie like that. So my theory is just put up an obviously fake profile, because I just assume every one else's is. Yeah. There might be the odd honest one, but I see 95% as being fake. I mean there are fat pigs with waister-upper head shots saying that they are average sized. Average to what? A pig sty. That is the majority too! I was at one of these POF parties and almost every one there 200+ people) were not what they posted so I wonder. | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 12:44:14 AM | I can't speak for other men, but as for myself, I read it until I see something about them that I just don't think we'll be able to get past if we were to meet. For me it's usually dancing. I don't care anything about it, but I know that if a woman loves to dance, then she's not going to be happy with me so I don't waste her time.
On the other hand, which I belive is more to your point, if I come across someone I think I may like, then I read every single word in her profile before I make a decission as to whether I'll contact her. Most men are extremely shallow or they are just looking to get in, get off and get out. This type of man isn't going to bother with much more than the pics in your profile. They'll write 50 women a day probably...just trying to get one to sleep with him. You can probably bank on the fact that if a guy has written you, but his profile tells you that he doesn't meet much of your criteria, that he hasn't read your profile and is just trying to bed you.
Hope I gave you some insight,

Posted: 12/6/2006 1:20:45 AM | Hello everyone.
Well i'm fairly new on here, so i still read profiles, but i'm quickly coming to the conclusion it's pointless. Even if i message someone who clearly has lots in common with me, i've now come to expect not even get the courtesy of a reply saying "no thanks".
The women on here are as bad as the men. They write loads of guff in their profiles about the personal qualities that they want in a man, but when it comes down to it they simply look at the pics and press the delete button without reading OUR profiles!
Mind you, which woman is going to write a profile asking for Mr Perfect.... caring, sensitive, funny, gentle, warm, loving, intelligent...... and then add at the end "oh yes, and you have to look like Johnny Depp or George Clooney or the other stuff doesn't matter".
Perhaps if the site had a facility to show how many messages people had received and not replied to it would encourage some manners! And equally if it showed how many messages blokes had sent to different women in the previous 2 weeks, it would discourage the "players" bombarding loads of women just hoping to get lucky! | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 1:40:29 AM | I read profiles that are interesting. Whether designed with brevity or the ramblings of a great mind--either type, if fascinating, deserve to be savoured.
It's rare for me to contact anyone, but if I do I almost always get a response. Perhaps if I emailed women who know less about themselves then they pretend to, I'd get a lot of 'read-deleted' responses. Dunno; not wasteing my time bothering with that type.
I make it a point to look at profiles regardless of what the person appears like on their profile pic. Maybe because I'm not here dating. Maybe that's just something us not-gorgeous people do. Maybe because I'm seeking something different than what Mr. Cyclops wants.
Please, for the sake of my eyes, break up your profile blurbs. Use the enter button to break up those paragraphs which could sink the Titanic.

Posted: 12/6/2006 7:46:59 AM | There are certain criteria i look for... so i look for them.. i start at the top.. and work down.. ticking off in my mind which of those selections make us compatible..
I look for wit... humour.. i definately dont bother with women semi naked..and say the wonder why men dont send mature email...
I read to hear if its overly positive... or negative... and traist that are similar to my own.. over things that actually do... ..
But i tend to read them all...But i reply to very few. | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 7:48:06 AM | | I’ve taken the time to write a considerable amount in my profile and it says a great deal about me and my interests. Even before putting up a pic I got a fair amount of mail, mostly from those who obviously hadn’t read my profile, and its usually very obvious so I don’t always respond to the how r u one liner messages. If unsure I ask them what it was in my profile that made them inclined to write or what we have in common, if they write back we have a dialogue going, if they don’t and the majority don’t because the question is obviously too difficult for them then its obvious they were just ‘doing the rounds’. I did put up a pretty picture for a while and suddenly got inundated with messages and had to switch off my IM because every time I came on line I had so many IMs coming at me I didn’t get time to read my messages, I took the pic off shortly afterwards. I wrote a long profile for a reason, its so that anyone who is really interested in getting to know me rather than just looking for someone to score with can get a real sense of who I am, there are also forum posts for those who want to look a little deeper before messaging me. Due to the fact that I’ve obviously put some time and effort into the process those who send one liners without having bothered to even put in the effort of reading my profile aren’t really in a position to complain if I read/delete. They are the ones I wouldn’t want to get to know anyway so no loss as far as I’m concerned. One or two gentleman have actually complimented me on my profile because it is honest and informative, in other words they got a sense of who I am and from that know that they would like to converse further, strangely enough I thought that was the whole point of writing a profile otherwise you may as well just have a lucky dip. The only way this site becomes a waste of time is if you allow people to waste your time, if someone wants to chat and we get along and I have time to chat I’ll chat, if someone wants to meet and we have things in common then I’ll meet, if I find the man of my dreams on here then that’s great, if not so what I made contact with a lot of different people and learned an awful lot along the way. No complaints from me, you just have to work out what you want and learn to sense how the other person is coming at it, takes practise I guess. | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 9:19:37 AM | I take the time to read them. Some of them are quite specific on who and what they are looking for. Some show a bit too much and wonder why their getting all the pervs. Dont act suprised youre getting exactly what you put out. | |

Posted: 12/9/2006 10:23:03 PM | Hmmm... Maybe I started my profile off right. I have in it.. PLEASE read my whole profile, that way you will learn a LOT about me. Fortunately, most every email that comes into my inbox, somewhere in it... says.. "And yes, I did read your whole profile".
My profile is lengthy, a little humor, ALL truth, because I feel I'm on here for a purpose to meet the "right" man and I do want him, if he's in here and finds me to know somewhat who I really am. (I say somewhat) of course because unless I wrote a complete book of my entire life, one will never know all about me. Heck, I don't even know "all" about me anymore. Age is giving me a little CRS and I can't even tell you every single thing that has happened in my lifetime. I just feel that if any man is truly interested, he will read my whole profile. I know I do read all of theirs or others when I have searched.
Now.. Am I THAT different than most women?? Sorry, but that thought is just a little scary. lol From reading this thread it sure seems so. I can honestly say to the best of my knowledge that I have returned a reply email back to every single man who has emailed me, unless I honestly accidently missed someone as I do get a lot of email and I'm not one who can never make a mistake or miss being courteous to someone, whether it is simply to say, "I'm sorry, but I just don't think we'd be a match, but thank you so very much for your interest." / or.. whatever. After all, that only takes a minute to write and send and honestly someone could easily keep a return reply as such and just copy and paste it, making it even less time, but at least it wouldn't be a total ignore. I'm never rude unless they would be and so far I haven't had that from any man on here.
Interesting post. Thanks. | |

I must be one of the minority as when I see a profile that interests me I read all I can from that person,even all their forum comments as you can get a good idea of their likes and dislikes etc.
p/s i,m a forum virgin so please go easy on me :) | |

Posted: 12/11/2006 4:48:11 PM | "Depends on how hot you are"
well, at least ^^he's honest! *shrug* So almost all of these responses are "I read the whole thing, they're all short any ways, blah blah blah," and I'm sorry, but I don't really believe all of you. If all of you who said so actually DID read the whole profile, I would get a lot less one line "what's up" messages. For goodness sake, if you see something you like in the profile, address that in your message! Not such a hard rule, is it??? No what most boys like is the picture, so no wonder you have nothing interesting to say in your message.
Not to say girls aren't just as bad. Personally, I won't message someone who has nothing interesting about their profile. The picture is maybe forty percent of what I'm looking for.
 hey look at this cool fishy I found! :D | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 8:38:25 PM | Guys, look at the girl first and read the profile second.
Do you just ignore profiles with no pictures?
I usually scan profiles first, then see if they have a pic, then read through it (if its less than a page!). If the first few lines have something worthwhile, I may just read the whole thing. | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 9:08:00 PM | I can't speak for everyone but when I take the time to look at 1 I will read it all. How ever some folks here have incredibly long allmost essay form profiles & they are a bit hard to read through & only need to be half their length, as pertenent info is lost in the jumble of paragraphs. But to answer the question hey if your gonna take the time to look at it do it right & read it all.  | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 9:16:49 PM | I have that all the time. They only go by the picture and don't care whats on there. I get questions all the time when I already stated it on my profile. I mean when I write someone I read their profile and if I don't fit what they are looking for I move on. I get so fustrated when I get sex invites or preverts when I stated I'm not looking for that. | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 10:42:40 PM | Some men approach online dating just like they do real life dating. If they see a woman they think is hot, they confidently walk up to her and start talking. They figure most women will at least be interested in them. If there even is a smidgen of hope they might get a number, they will ask for it. Online, nothing she can write in a profile would keep a lot guys from going ahead and emailing a woman. They have nothing to lose by writing the email and everything to gain.
So whether a man reads the profile or not may not be the deciding factor as to whether he emails a woman. Many men, myself included, don't take such an approach and are more selective about emailing. If you aren't in a terrible rush, profiles are interesting and informative to read. | |
