Posted: 12/17/2006 6:16:27 AM | I agree with whomever stated that players don't read them but folks lookin for relationships do.
I always read prior to sending a message. AND I always click to view the profile BEFORE reading a message someone sends to me. If the profile sounds like we're not even close to clicking, then the pic isnt' going to make a difference. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 1:58:35 PM | | Hola, I thought i would just throw in my ideas. Lets all of us get real here an internet dateing site can be as much a meat market as going out to the bar. Both men and women are guilty of just wanting a quick fun time in the sheets and for both being vain when it comes to looks. The dateing game no mater where your playing it is a big game. I do agree though that probably alot of what people write in thier profiles can be alot of B.S. Because come on now are you reallying going to be upfront and honest about your maybe not so great qualitys you have too. ( am just as guilty I havent writen any of my not so hot qualitys accecpt maybe saying i am a big girl). I have heard horror storys from both sides of the fence. I think the biggest thing that is lacking in general from these sites is HONESTY. Truely if all you want is to get laid then cool just say it. If you are wanting to get really serious right away then just say that. If you want to date a bunch of people all at the same time then say that to. Dont make Promises you have no intention on keeping. If every one is up front and honest like this then it gives the other person the chance to take responsabilty for themselves and make there own choices of what they want for them sleves. And if what you want is not to be used then be wise and dont go with people who our obvisouly doing that. Becasue you cant change them they wont want you any more if you give them what they want. they will just of gotten what they wanted and you will have chosen to give them what you didnt want for your self. Be wise walk in with open eyes not open heartts for awhile until you really get to know someone. Come on were all adults. I get just as frusterated as the next person with the whole dateing sceen and I totally have allowed myself to make unwise dessions that i have regretted . I think It would all just be alot easyer if everyone was really upfront, but thats not going to happen so just be wise about yourself. I know I get alot of guys who dont read my profile too sending me messages it makes me laugh. So laugh at them and know they just made it really easy for you and saved you sometime becasue obvisouly you dont need to chat to them. If thats not what your looking for. The whole dateing sceen actually makes me feel sorry for socity in a whole as it shows a great majority of us have real problems with honest open communication. I think its easy for us ( myself included) to be scorned by he oppist sex as we only experace what they do to us and dont know what has been done to them. And this is not makeing excuses for jerks on either side becasue there are people who are just jerks! cheers | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 3:10:41 PM | | WELL IT ALL DEPENDS. BUT IN REALITY WE DON'T. YOU SEE WHEN MAIL GETS HOME AND SOMETIMES YOU SEE ALL THESE COMPANIES THAT WANT TO OFFER DEALS TO REFINANCE YOUR HOME WE ONLY READ THE NUMBERS BECAUSE MOST OF THE STUFF IS JUST TO SELL THE PRODUCT OR THE SERVICE. WOMAN ARE DIFFERENT THAN MAN LIKE MY SELF I RATHER TALK TO HER IN PERSON THAN READING . THAT WAY IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND HOW NICE OR SERIOUS THE PERSON IS AND BY READING YOU MIGHT NOT SEE IT. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 5:36:13 PM | Some men do, some don't. I think the main pic one posts will determine what happens next. A handsome guy, with a pic of him and his Ferrari will get alot of e-mail from those to materialistic (superficial) to spend the time to read his profile. An attractive young lady with a main pic of her in a bikini or lingere, same, a ton of e-mails from superficial (materialistic, funny how those two words are interchangeable) men who saw only cleavage. I won't lie, I would like to fall for a young lady I find attractive in my eyes, call me superficial if you want, but what is attractive to me isn't necessarily attractive to other men. I.E., I like big bubble butt, thick thighs, kinda a J-Lo with like swimmers or gymnasts legs. However not many pics allow me to judge ones backside, so I gotta read a profile! lol Oh yeah, red hair. Red hair is to me what heroin is to an addict.  | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 2:28:55 AM | | I look At the profiles and try to read everyone of them but I will admit that I skip through a few of them at times sometimes I think this online dating is like a game just like real life to most people anyone for deal or no deal? | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 1:03:55 PM | Hey ladies man here ....... lol...lol.... well do most men read the instructions or just dive in and hope it turns out well ////// I would say most of my male friends just dive in and don't worry about the small details on the other hand I have found that if you read the profiles and read all of the profile you will find that the woman is either a dreamer and hopes for the fairy tale relationship ....or a woman who has been there and done that but has learned and is ready to ,move on........ I would say most do not get past the pic and body type but I know that reading ev ery word and maybe reading it 2 or 3 times has always helped in the long run happy holidays B  | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 1:50:03 PM | There is obviously a disconnect here. There, on one hand, are many of the women who want to be considered for who they are. On the other hand are many of the men, who basically are looking to get lucky.
Let's look at the populations. Hmmm, different goals.
There are men on this site who are looking for the same reasons you are ladies. There are basically two problems.
Finding someone who is active on this site, there are lots of abandoned profiles.
Finding someone who will respond, and I mean when the profiles seem to match. It is very easy to be rude online.
I sympathize with the women who are getting the unsolicited sexual invitations, there are sites for that, that are populated with both sexes. The ironic thing is, the exact same behavior is witnessed on those sites. Inquires being ignored, and shotgun sending of queries.
So, damned if you do, damned if you don't. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 2:50:49 PM | My profile is slightly lengthy, but I believe that it gives an accurate insight into who I am and what I want in a relationship. I am into quality vs. quantity and don't want to meet half of Southern CA. I also state that I don't post a picture because I want people to actually read my profile.
I have posted my picture on other websites and as others have said, they reply based on the my picture and we have absolutely nothing in common. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 3:43:52 PM |   Ya like the women read every guys profile and never look at the pics lol its nature.... pic (marketing aspect) sparks interest, ok, read the profile and go from there.
Me if her profile requires more than one scroll down or has her shopping list in point form... well this bores me and move on. I look at this site and others as Lotto649 participate and enjoy if you find someone great if not keep going.
Few participate in the forums and since I have expanded into this, I have found Plenty of Fishies that spark an interest..... then one at a time to see if this one is "the one" | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 4:26:59 PM | No, and yes. I read until I find an obvious conflict, but I usually give the benefit of the doubt, and realize that you can only pick one of several choices, when that might not be the only answer. If there are no major conflicts, (including year of birth, Chinese sign conflicts,) then I read the whole profile.
However I am not always looking for a 'date' if I send you an email. I may just be giving a complement on your photo, or expressing sympathy or agreement with something you have written. If you are polite and reply, who knows, we may both gain another friend, but if you don't, I haven't lost anything by being polite and treating you as a real person.
I read a whole lot more profiles from top to bottom, than I send initial messages. I have also seen photos that come from various movie star portfolios, although that is somewhat less evident here. If you don't have a photo, that is your choice, but if you want to keep my attention, it's only fair to share a real photo. My photos show me at play, or after a long day at work (after driving 800 miles or so). I don't expect a Glamour Shot, but I would like to see your eyes.
Short profiles... especially if they are only the typical cliches, don't catch my attention. A profile with philosophy, poetry, or humor can be eyecatching. I enjoy reading, and people watching, and learning about you, even if it is through a cyber-mask. A blank mask is boring. I actually understand a bit about people when I see a photo of them with a pet. I also look at your 'first date', and 'friends'. Then I may look and see what you posted in the forums....
My way is obviously not the only way, but it works for me, and hopefully this answers the original question.  | |

Posted: 12/21/2006 3:27:28 PM | I read it all, but in a funny way...
When going through search results, I look at the photo and then what is below the headline first. I don't even bother reading the headline, as funny as it sounds. Because most of the ones I've read are something related to "Looking for my true love." or "Where is Mr. Right?" Boring!
I can tell pretty much right away from there if I'm going to keep going. If I do keep going, then I read the whole About Me and Interests sections next. If I am still intriqued at this point, which is rarely unfortunately, then I will actually look at the rest of the info on the profile.
There you have it, brutal honesty. | |

Posted: 12/21/2006 7:41:10 PM | | What if the girl is perfect as her profile states.... but she is single only because she can't find someone that SHE finds attractive (or if there is chemistry the guy is uneducated.. which is not something that she is willing to settle for). She is very selective, because she well knows that she can be. It's just a matter of time. It's not easy finding that chemistry when Toronto is made up of 50% non europeans.... and when you come from a very european family and are only attracted to europeans, Toronto is not an easy place to find the right person and therefore you have to wait to meet them. | |

Posted: 12/21/2006 9:07:12 PM | | I think most men look at the pics first. I do too. But if I don't really think we have much in common, then I generally don't even bother. But some guys go for it anyway..got nothing to lose except a couple of minutes typing out their response. Maybe you look a little toooo attractive. Just my opinion. | |

Posted: 12/25/2006 5:26:25 AM | | I must appologize, i was trying to be funny. Most peoples profiles I think are just who they want to be as opposed to who they really are. The exception is when I say I have all my own teeth...I do. | |
