Posted: 1/15/2007 7:43:05 PM | We don't care about your stupid idiocincratices and whether you like this or that. We could care less. The only good thing about all your bull%#@ is that as long as that mouth keeps moving it's more likely to end up on us sooner or later. | |

Posted: 1/16/2007 4:08:00 PM | Im an 18 year old girl and i signed up on this site not to find a relationship as i all ready have a beautiful boyfriend but to meet some new people.
This is clearly stated in my profile but i still have a million guys emailing me who are looking for relationships.
So my thoughts are that guys dont read our profiles just look at the pic and if they like it they mail us not knowing anything about us!
And as for poetic it is men like you who give all men a bad name. You are a pig and no wonder you are on a dating site because no women in the real world is going to want you.

Posted: 1/16/2007 4:47:54 PM | Actually, Jingle_bells000 should not be on this site. This is a dating site. Intended for single people to have a place to filter out the otherwise undesirable affluences who might be normally not considered due to geography, shyness, or simple inability to put up with loud mouthed drunks at the local watering holes.
Having self admittedly claimed to have a partner, Jingle needs to de-activate her account. Now quit complaining if a guy does not read your profile when it clearly must state she is taking up space that would otherwise better be used by a single woman.
This had better insult somebody, or I have not stated my position clearly enough.  | |

Posted: 1/16/2007 6:06:12 PM | | Great post and excellent question! When I receive an email and it's obvious to me that a guy hasn't read my profile I'm, how shall I say, *less than impressed*. The main reason I choose not to publish my photo is to ensure guys read it and not respond to it simply based on my looks. I'm not into games, nor am I here to waste anyone's time. Let's keep it real, shall we? | |

Posted: 1/21/2007 12:18:50 AM | | Yes, as a matter of fact, some do. I am one of them. In order for me to really understand the person I am messaging, I have to. True, online dating sites aren't the most reliable, but to maximize their potential you have to read an entire profile. If you just look at the pics, you are missing out. In my book, looks are not everything. I am truly a knight in shining armor, looking for Ms. Right. If the internet is one of the avenues for me to find her, then so be it. But, regardless of this being a free online service, you can't just be a horndog that needs to be pleased right away. Truly try to find out as much as you can, then, and only then, will true satisfaction be achieved. | |

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
No, it doesn't tell you everything you need to know. Far from it. I think that's why POF has forums, because that tells you a lot more of what you need to know about a person to see if they are a "fit" for you.
Most of the people who've contacted me did so as a result of reading my forum posts. Not my profile. The profile is actually pretty stupid. All profiles are. All they are is an advertisement for what the person wants you to think of them. Let them get mixed up in some heated political debates in forums and you find out a lot more about who they really are than you do by reading their profiles. | |

Posted: 1/21/2007 9:45:54 AM | It depends, is your profile an easy read or not?
If your profile sucks and has poor grammar and aesthetic structure, we're likely to only skim it. Make it entertaining, but legible, exciting but not in caps and we're likely to read it.
Otherwise, we're really just going off the picture.
There are a million free spell checkers online. Make use of them. Spelling mistakes really do knock you down a few points.

Posted: 1/21/2007 2:42:18 PM | | wow there are some nasty comments on here. I can understand for some guys deserving to be treated like that but as for the rest. for example I read everything in a profile what they have in their interests section to the what to do on first date. the thing that really bugs me though is the profiles that say "ask me" and thats it everything else is prefer not to say. | |

Posted: 1/21/2007 4:33:45 PM | | Contrary to what papabear1968 states above, I am very specific in my profile re what I am looking for in a longterm relationship - the values and character of the man I am looking for are noted quite clearly. Even so I have had 2 men message me in recent weeks who apparently had not read farther than my interests, or they would have known they did not fit my criteria. I am becoming well-versed in the "Thank you for your interest. I am not interested in meeting with/chatting with you. I do wish you well in your search.", but I truly wish that they would read the whole profile, so as to save themselves the let down of a turn down. | |

Posted: 1/21/2007 4:45:45 PM | Here I am. Oh, how I wish I could fix the above two posts. I still stand by my comments in the original one. Please guys, read through the profile. Don't just message the first one whose face is prettiest or whose interests are similar to yours. The "about me" section usually tells you alot about the person's character and life.
Now I'll go back to my nap. LOL   | |

Posted: 1/21/2007 5:05:04 PM | OP " Why do you email anyway? "
In order of estimated likelihood, alongside the probability, because:
100% the site allows us to (at least, to the extent of 40 emails/day, I believe).
85% you rarely email us, someone has to do it, so we're game
70% by emailing you, we get to choose the potential 'who' forming our better half
50% as a follow-up to putting you on our favorites' list, when you didn't remove our name or email us to ask us why we did that earlier
46% we liked your picture in the Search Index remarks
40% we read and liked something in the Search Index remarks
21% we actually read your Profile, and liked either the additional pics, your description or something you wrote there
13% you were randomly selected
2% we're testing out email templates, so those who can't compose will have a guideline and can join the fun

Posted: 1/21/2007 5:15:47 PM | | I usually read the profiles word for word. That gives me bases for questions i ask the person. See, im on here to get to know someone, a lot of guys are on here for other things. So you women shouldnt judge ALL the guys on here, ok!! There are some good ones. | |

just the real ones
I don't bother with the real ones, I usually try to stay away from those. The only ones I read are the fake ones. How, exactly do I tell if it's a fake one? By the grammar usage. And the presence of content like "bling", "yo", or "hit me up if u like wat u c", and, best of all "only lookin fo a real man".
That clues me in that that particular woman is guaranteed to be a stunning conversationalist, perhaps with ideas that can one day make the world a better place for the grammar-impaired. Such a person is universally understood to be highly educated in the seven liberal arts and most likely places great emphasis on effective communication.
If she has a tatoo on her face, all the better.
Oh, Irony is a cruel mistress. | |

13% you were randomly selected
I give humanity a 13% chance of survival. 
Dude, that's pretty hilarious. I'm going to have to start randomly emailing various people and telling them that they are among the lucky 13% who made the cut.
Out of curiosity, Where did you get these probablilities? | |

Posted: 1/22/2007 7:35:01 AM | Yes i like reading the profile first then picture after , because i think that's how you can find out more about the person, but pictures help too. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 1/22/2007 3:23:41 PM | I read full profiles. I like to see what a guys after. If they want fun, BUH-BYE...But then again, i have encountered a person before that said they wanted something more than THEY REALLY DID.
But either way, im a reader, i'm a typer...i like to get to know people somehow. But it's the internet, hard to trust what's written. | |

Never mind, I guess joe and garcia got to the cheap punchline before me.... | |
