| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 1/22/2007 8:52:16 PM | it funny, I had my picture up for a while not much interest, then I took it down and I got much more response. Seems that if you don't have a picture they have to take the effort to read the profile. I'm testing my theory right now just put my picture back up, we'll see what happens. | |

Posted: 1/22/2007 9:07:01 PM | | Sure we read them. Or at least we try to, many profiles look like a train wreck. There is also the profiles that look like a graduate of texting put them together. Then there are the ones where the poster is to lazy to try to think for themselves and rely on emoticons. | |

Posted: 1/22/2007 9:13:54 PM | | I must say that I won't read a profile without a picture. A good pick is like bait, but a good description is the real hook. If a guy can't spell, that tells me something about him. If he mentions partying, I know something else. If he says he's looking to 'settle down', I know some more. Of course you shouldn't believe EVERYTHING you read, but we're all here for the same reason, to find someone who fits with us. If someone shows his/her true colors while messaging or later in phone conversations, oh well. We can't win 'em all. (You can tell mine is one of those novel profiles, can't you?) | |

Posted: 1/22/2007 9:24:51 PM | I really wish more guys would take the time to read the profile. I know some do and I appreciate them taking the time, but most don't. Tonight I politely turned away four guys looking for some fast action... I'm really getting tired of being nice to some of these ones!
If they read the profile, they would know I'm not what they're looking for! | |

Posted: 1/22/2007 9:31:22 PM | I read the entire profile ....
The pic was actually what got my attention
As i said I read the entire profile = novel
Made contact
Decided to meet
Printed pic so I wouldn't be wondering who to look for
Showed up
Waited an extra 1/2 hour figuring she was being fashionabally late
About to leave when I was approached
The pic depicted a female that was about 5'4"
Approx. 140 - 150 lbs
Slim - Medium build
Brunnette
Ready to party
The person that approached me said she recognized me from my pic
I replied And who are you?????
She said she was the 1 I was meeting....
My best description would be
4' f**k all
Approx 240 - 250 lbs
Turn side ways to go through doorway
Nothing slim'medium about it
Just f**king large+
The only truth
Brunnette
Ready to party
That is why most men don't take the time to read the entire profile as 98.7 percent
is B.S.
If they want to F**K then well what the h**l double bag it & get at it | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 1:58:01 AM | I dont think the majority of men read the profiles at all! They look at the pictures and then send you an intellectually stimulating message of "Hi want my MSN?" <---- please note these people if you have nothing to say in a message, then why would anyone want to talk with you further on MSN?
Anyone that has read a profile can actually engage in interesting conversation! The trouble is though is that you have to open and read the drivel in an attempt to find someone who has taken the time to read through your profile.
While sat here writing I have come up with an idea, which i will put to the test and will let you know the results of my findings!
At the bottom of my profile I will write - "please put the word 'SMUDGE' in the subject box of the message you are sending and I will reply.
Any guesses at how many out of the next 50 messages will have SMUDGE as the subject line???
IM GOING FOR 12 ( Is that cynical? haha!) | |

Anyone that has read a profile can actually engage in interesting conversation! The trouble is though is that you have to open and read the drivel in an attempt to find someone who has taken the time to read through your profile.
When I contact someone I mention I have read their profile and ask them to check mine and let me know if they're interested in further correspondence. Rather than write an essay in the first introduction and expect the person to read the "drivel" all the person has to do is click on the "view profile" at the top of the email and check mine. If they're interested a simple "Yes, I'd like to get to know you better" reply is sufficient. Then I can start sending the "drivel". 
I was wondering if you and others feel that is an appropriate way to do things? | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 5:39:05 AM | I have guys contact me that have only looked at my picture. I always respond and ask them if they read the whole profile, I rarely get a reply after that,,,lmao. They go back and actually read it, then,,,, whoopsie!
But on the flip side, some guys have actually read my whole profile and I have made some good friends from here. | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 6:04:37 AM | From the emails I've been recieving it's clear that many of the guys do not read the profile at all!
I've had more than one person admit that they only look at the pics before they contact someone on a dating site...they may go back and read at some point, but it's the pic that gets them.
I always appreciate, just a bit more, men who contact me and respond to something they've read in my profile. At least that's some evidence that they are literate! | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 6:11:07 AM | | I had a guy last week message me, and asked what I did for a living. I answered in was clearly indicated on my profile. His answer "Oh I didn't look at it, wanted to see if you would talk to me first". Nice... | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 6:15:04 AM | | Pictures help but I definitely read the profiles as hopefully it will give me a glimpse into their personality. Usually someone very attractive with only 2 sentences will get skipped over for the person whos written more or made me laugh or remember their profile | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 8:58:57 AM | You have misunderstood me Dave1234, What I mean by drivel is the 20 or so messages I get each day with "hi" or "want some fun hun" or " text me on 0879***" etc
Anyone that says I have read your profile have a look at mine would not be classed as drivel and would get an appropriate reply!
In follow up to the write "smudge" in the subject box, i have had 28 messages and 0 with smudge in subject box. | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 6:23:13 PM | I read all profiles that catch my eye. I try to comment on it, and ask more questions if there is
something sparked my interest. I say I try because there are many 2 liner profiles saying ask for more info.... So far I have no replys to any of my messages.
So In a way I kinda feel the other men. Why waste time reading the profile
and writing a well put together note, if you wont even get a reply. Just a wassup should suffice, and then if she reads my profile and is interested, she'll get back, otherwise I just wasted my time no?

The above would be the reason why he would do that. Many of you wont even talk to/message back a person, even with a decent post. So he just wanted to see if youd talk to him first, im sure afterwards he'll read it once he knows ull talk to him. Give him a chance. | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 6:51:22 PM | Alright, the truth (at least from me)
I look for a picture - it usually doesn't matter the picture, as long as there is a picture... It at least gives me a face to the profile, not to sexualize, just to add a voice (alright maybe a little to sexualize). But it's not the most important.
Then I check out her credentials, what is she looking for, body type, height, single, kids, etc. Not that anything is right or wrong, just so I get a picture of what this person's life is like... A lot of the first part is an unconsious part. Just something to compile an image. What would a day with this person be like?
If the woman is really pretty, sometimes I look, just because I like to look at pretty women... But that's not her fault, so I shouldn't penalize her for it. But I don't look at all pretty women, sometimes you just want to see a pretty woman (and this doesn't apply to only thin/athletic/blond) as you may think. There is something in the eyes and smile (YES there has to be a smile) something warm, or interesting. I find myself clicking into profiles I didn't remember going into, just because she's so inviting.
Then to the profile. I try to read the profile, the thing is, would you date Brad Pitt if he was totally unoriginal? (Alright, maybe a wrong choice, but you get the idea.) I find there are four types of profiles
1) the original ones, with a sense of humor, or clever insight.
2) The romantic - who wants a man who like the walks or the cuddling on the couch, or the travelling to exotic places, who cares less about romancing a guy, then being romanced herself.
3) The Tom boy who can drink me under the table and can put my hockey knowledge to shame, usually hates chick flicks and loves a good action or sci fi, scotch, live bands and testing my machismo
and of course
4) The kind of woman who physically is attractive and she darn well knows it, and is looking for a guy who is just as fit and good looking as her, but not a player, and is romantic, without being a wimp, and can build a car from scratch but then attend a gala event because he had his own tux that he got from his modelling job,... Let me just get the wand. You get the point.
I'm sure there are more, but I'm fairly new.
I like to read the number 1's - they have an interesting opening line, they don't come across as desparate (even if they are) have something witty to say, etc... This maybe someone that can carry on an interesting conversation... If I get to that point, then i'llput her in my favorites, so when I'm ready to actually contact someone for any reason, I've done a little research.
I hope this helps. | |

Unfortunately, women don't like guys who just say "What's up?" because there's not enough there to respond to, so they probably won't. It sucks, but that's the way it is. You don't have to read the whole profile but at least read enough to know whether or not you're what she's looking for before bothering to write anything. Why waste your time? | |

Posted: 1/24/2007 10:17:26 AM | | Unfortunately reading the profile is all the mens responsibility on this site. Majority of the women don't even bother reading a profile from someone who does send the a message.The most a lot will do is see if you have a pic up. If you don't have a catchy name or something cool in your headline thats it your out . | |

| Some of us do
Posted: 1/24/2007 10:29:11 AM | I admit to reading the whole profile, I only get really miffed when I get to the bottom and find out that the advertiser is not looking for someone my age. I am in good shape not ("athletic" we've all seen that one and fun and sober hell I'll mail myself if I carry on like this. So keep posting and no Vixen I havent read yours just liked the subject matter. Will look after though. Best wishes Pat | |

Posted: 1/24/2007 10:56:56 AM | | I have received emails from men who have completely read my profile. They will comment on things that they would only know from reading it. 98% of the emails i receive, men will actually say they enjoyed reading my profile. The other 2% are the jerks who leave those stupid 2 word emails like "nice boobs". | |

Well they do admit they are visual creatures..
and so are women. I had a profile wihtout a picture, no response. I put a couple of pics, got some response, I took my shirt off, bammmmoo 18 message the first day.
Wake up men. We don't know how to read apparently. First off I'd like to thank the "Enlightened" women on here that think we can't read and graciously give us the oft seen ample bosom shots. Without these mammory gland pictures I would never know the true you. Who needs to read a profile when "Big Boobs" will get the message out quicker. I think we men should all give the women an ample crotch photo.
That way the albeit rare women that can't or don't read our profiles can get a sense of what we're all about.
And you women have the audacity to call us Visual Creatures...Wake up and look in the mirror. P.S. Don't be looking at your Boobies in the mirror either. There's more to you than that I hope. | |

Generalising and BS. I always read a profile. I've had some gorgeous men message me. I read their profiles....in their entirety, and realised they weren't for me. Pics and a catchy name are only are good if you just wanna get laid. If you want something more, you read the profiles. | |
