| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 1/3/2007 12:51:57 AM | read the entire profile, and find it somewhat annoying to see a picture of an attractive woman followed by very little content. When that happens I am less likely to send an email. I am one of those unusual males who is looking for beauty (not necessarily stereotypical beauty), brains and independence. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many women on this site who have taken the time to write something, which actually conveys who they are as individuals. For those of you who have I applaud you.
Note: profile/picts will be up soon.
^^^^^^^  I think your post great, except for the "doesn't seem to be many women on this site who have taken the time to write something." That you signed onto POF on 12/28 and posted this 01/02 means that you must've done LOTS of profile reading. That you actually make the comments you have without profile/photos of your own, begs for a southern gal's response:
Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! | |

There, read through your profile and found that blondelikewhoa!
So what's your major?
I thought about doing Criminal Justice once. That was before I went back in the army. | |

Honestly I don't know why people don't read profiles. It tells you everything you need to know to meet the person that has captured your interest. Its all in there... you see, both people want it to work out. Right? We didn't come on POF with the intention to not meet people. So, girls and guys have developed a handy manual, with all of the instructions on how to meet and date them... its the profile. :P | |

For all the men and women who don't read the profiles, take heed.

Posted: 1/5/2007 7:33:04 AM | I ask every guy that and they all lie about it. They say they read the profile and I find out they have kids, do drugs, etc...have everything I dont want in a guy. Men only care about the pictures ladies. I could rant and rave for a while on here about how many men I spoke with and met them in person only to find out they wasted my time. Sorry sunshine....sad truth. The true nice guys that are left most likely are not on any website or if they are they are very hard to find. | |

Posted: 1/5/2007 6:19:30 PM | NO, men do not read our profiles!!!! Mine couldn't convey the fact that I have a boyfriend any clearer, yet I still get IMS and emails from guys trying to pursue a relationship or a hook up.

Posted: 1/5/2007 7:14:12 PM | They are caught up in whatever aspect of your profile that interests them, then they try to contact you because they have no regard for your existing relationship. Which means either they are totaly into you, or they have no regard for you in any way. Just show their profile to your b/f and sic him on them....straighten them out. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 6:56:34 AM | I sometimes question that anyone (or very few) reads the full profile.
Some take a look at a picture.....and it is immediately erased. Some want to see the picture and do not even care what is written. Men are visual creatures,but so are women. :)
A photo should be forth-coming at some point but not to just any Tom,****or Harry/Thomasina, Dina or Henrietta......(my apologies to any T, D or H's on here-nothing personal.)
If the profiles are honest, as most of us say we are,then they should read exactly what you are looking for..........not disguised by doubletalk.
I honestly do aspire to wrestle Armadillos. :) LoL Honest.
All the best to everyone in the coming year. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 6:59:59 AM | | Okay...that postreply of mine has two strikes against it.....first, POF automatically bleeped out a word and it was a persons name, nothing bad. I said "for any Tom,(D ick) or Harry to read etc......two strikes against me.........no picture so the reply will not be read and a bleep. :) | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 7:30:50 AM | | I do read the entire profile, and this is after a search to find someone I honestly and realistically believe compatible. For what it is worth...bear in mind I do not take most profiles lacking content or including erotic photos very seriously, so I move on. | |

I get that sometimes too...and email stating how much we have in common when in fact there is NOTHING we have in common...lol
Goes both ways hun. Women do this also. I get a ton of emails saying how much we have in common, then I sit there scratching my head trying to find just a semblence of commoness in our profiles. Doesn't really matter to me. The way I figure it, people are just trying to meet and that just seems like a good opening line to most. It's all good .... | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 9:05:15 AM | Everyone does exactly the same thing, men or women.
If the pic passes the mustard you read the profile.
I have found many attractive women on this site, until I read the profiles. More often than not, what they write is a real turn off. If there is any doubt whether or not to contact someone the profile is usually the deciding factor. For me, anyway. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 9:14:29 AM | | I will read the entire profile before i make a decision to e-mail the person. I try to gather as much as i can about their personality before contacting them. The picture factors in as well, but not always. I find there is usually one or two sentences that says to me, this person i can talk with. I go with my gut. Patrick | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 9:32:42 AM | I make certain I read every word. I read the latest forum posts by the person as well. That way I can make sure I don't message the oh so many ladies I've read in this thread and quite a few others that say things like calgarygrl did 9 or ten lines above when she stated:
"I ask every guy that and they all lie about it. They say they read the profile and I find out they have kids, do drugs, etc...have everything I dont want in a guy. Men only care about the pictures ladies. I could rant and rave for a while on here about how many men I spoke with and met them in person only to find out they wasted my time. Sorry sunshine....sad truth. The true nice guys that are left most likely are not on any website or if they are they are very hard to find."
One of the reasons I will read an entire profile is to make sure I don't mistakenly message someone who thinks "All men are ***holes, perverts, etc etcetc." You see it on here a lot.
I doubt I could have a good relationship with one who carries this attitude. Also I tend to stay away from the people who have a big laundry list of qualities that their potential mate must possess. I have seen lists with 20 or more items.
Seriously there is no way you are ever going to fulfill all of these qualities men so why bother, and then when you can't they will try to change you into that person and we all know that never works out.
Quite a few guys on here. I doubt we ALL lie and I doubt we ALL only care about the pictures. How could you know all million of us or however many we are. Just like women, there are ALL types of men. I guess the major difference is we don't go on the boards quite as much saying how bad ALL the women are ;). | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 12:44:22 PM | I think most men, not all men are visual creatures by nature. They see something they like, they click. Have you ever been shopping with one? They tend to go for the shiny objects in the store. Shiny new tools, shiny new chrome for the auto, shiny toys, maybe we are going about this the wrong way….maybe we need to post photo’s of shiny object’s….. | |
