Posted: 2/27/2007 8:45:01 AM | Even when are interest's are there and like me we say up front we want friends to email, IM, phone then met, you men still say "Hi, let's met" maybe it would help if you learn to read everything on our profile's.
Have a good day. | |

Perhaps that why I get significantly more than 5% writing back... | |

Posted: 2/28/2007 7:36:14 AM | the ones that start out with "this is the hard part" "i don't know what to say" "or the worst offender " not much to tell if you have any questionns just ask" are bound to be yawners so i skip right through them. if you are of no interest to yourself how the hell am i going to find any interest? who do i look like? allan quartermain searching for the lost mines of solomon?? get real. give me a bone to pick at. then i'll have the interest yo read your entire profile. | |

Posted: 2/28/2007 8:02:47 AM | Tomozzp: Had to laugh at what you said. Many men start their profiles off that way too! I think the same as you do. If the person can't even type a few lines about themselves and their interests, why would I be interested I want someone with self-esteem, and someone who has some forethought to who they are. I also love the ones where they list the sports and other "manly" activities they are into, but don't list other interests they might share with their lady Are they looking for another man? hehehe.....
I wish people would put many things about themselves and what they like, are looking for, and especially the deal breakers!
To the OP and others:
Now, I find men on here seem to list the IDEAL woman they want. Yikes! Who can fill that bill? I get scared off by that. Even that ideal lady might be scared off by those. Or they want the perfect Barbie figure. Well, good luck with that one. I think expectations are way to high here online.
I do answer most people who email me. And at times it is obvious when someone hasn't read my profile. I do list a few things in mine where I can tell it has not been read when certain men email me.
As far as lies in profiles, you are always going to have them. You have the liars in real life too. But to assume ALL lie is rediculous! I have run into very few who have lied that I have met. MOST do not lie. I don't lie in my profile at all. Matter of fact, I might put too much. But I want a serious reader to have a good idea who I am. I am serious in my search and would rather a person wrote a lot of things about themselves than 4 or 5 lines. I want to KNOW all the things YOU think are serious about yourself that you want to share with me, so I know if you could be a match for me.
Oh, and WHY dont people put up a pic???? RECENT ONE lol... How am I to tell if I can "kiss that face"? We all KNOW personalilty is great. But we all also know that you HAVE to have some attraction too. I'm not looking for adonis by any means. But, I really do want to see someone I can look at every day! We all do not like the same types, or we would all be off here, and this site wouldnt exist!!
Happy fishing everyone!

Posted: 2/28/2007 8:48:37 AM | lindy the reason a lot of people do not put down
are looking for, and especially the deal breakers!
Because there is the difference in people to be considered. Why would you care to limit your possibilities. As far as deal breakers go, everyone knows or should know that dishonesty and lack of communication are the # 1 deal breakers in just about anyones book. After that it is the cummulative effect that breaks the deal. | |

Posted: 3/2/2007 7:14:02 AM | Yesterday,I received an email on here,and,since I always read the person's profile before I read the message,I did so..
What I read was the most sick,disturbingly perverted profile I've ever encountered on here.
Needless to say,I didn't read the message,I deleted it,and reported the person for trying to override the "Intimate encounters" filter,by putting 'other relationship'.
In the meantime,it really bothers me,that someone who was that perverted,felt the need to message me.
I know this happens to many woman on here,but,for some reason,that one got me to hide my profile. | |

Posted: 3/3/2007 10:44:04 AM | | Have u heard of a such thing as give-and-take. If someone reaches out to you maybe you seem to them the type that attracks them because you seem to be as they would like to be, as in opposites attract. For example as I read ladies' profiles I will not only read it word for word and twice but I fully realize that I may not have all that she desires and expect that she may not for me. I have however met with a lady that saw some kind of attraction in me even though she wasn't athletic and I am...Maybe she saw that I could show her how to improve her fitness and health level. And I would have been ok with that but the rude behavior was the thing that killed the next encounter for her. If you're truly not interested then use the first contact message to screen them out...I do. | |

Posted: 3/3/2007 6:32:48 PM | I wondered that sometimes too. However in my profile sometimes I state something specfic that most would comment on. Sure enough..the ones that have read the profile...make the appropriate comment.
READ PROFILES PEOPLE...It takes less than 5 mintues of your time.. | |

Posted: 3/3/2007 6:56:41 PM | There are profiles on here? Really? You don't say? I never noticed. Now I'm gonna have to go back and look to see if all those pictures I was looking at had profiles attached.

Posted: 3/3/2007 7:08:57 PM | I read them until I see "u" instead of "you", "r" instead of "are".....
I won't read profiles written in ALL CAPS.
Basically I read until I see something that my personal preference sees as a dealbreaker.
But to answer the original question, yes I believe men read the profiles. Maybe not all the way through, but as least as far as what keeps their interest. | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 8:28:29 AM | Not reading a profile, be it a woman or a man:
Kinda like when a guy is hanging on me, telling me what beautiful eyes I have ....gorgeous, could lose myself in them blah blah blah .... why do I have to prompt them that my eyes are ABOVE my neck!!!
If you don't read a profile, and get burned because of it ....  How dumb can you possibly be? I know I shouldn't laugh and point, but sometimes I can't help myself! | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 3:12:31 PM | Most long profiles are so incredibly boring that i would have to throw a red flag because of it.
Some of the statements in those profiles limit the potential to meeting possibly someone.I think those people should start a blog.I start to read them and think she hasn't been with someone for awhile.Its the worst form of selling yourself i have seen | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 7:08:05 PM | | To be as truthful as possible, I'd have to admit I find it a real challenge to be sure to gather all the personality traits & likes/dislikes of the person of interest, but i go back over & make sure I have everything down before I go to that next step. | |

Posted: 3/9/2007 6:05:55 PM | I definitely read the whole profile, a few times. I'm very selective about who I send emails to. We need to have something in common that I can start the conversation with. I know I'm probably in the minority here. It seems like a lot of guys just send out stock emails to every women in a 50 mile radius.
That's just how some men are though. They try to cast the widest net possible. And it's not just on the internet either. It always amazes me how some guys can woot and holler/ ogle/ talk at EVERY girl who walks past them on the street. | |

Posted: 3/10/2007 8:35:22 AM | | I have to agree with most of what your responses were....I am sure most people, men and women respond to someone's picture initially, it IS all about what one finds attractive about another person.... but I do appreciate someone who has at least briefly read thru mine to have a "clue" about what I am "about". Then and if they/we contact one another they have something to say... nothing worse than someone who I'm"s ME and has nothing to talk about... or didn't read the profile and turns it into some internet sex chat.. no biggie I just turn them off, but seriously your wasting everybody's time, especially mine. As for an opinion on having a short or longer profile, hmm, I like something there-not just one or 2 lines, I need something to go on besides someone's face.. I see faces all day long doesn't mean we are going to have anything to talk about, lol. | |

For the majority of the time, NO, they don't read all of it. I always get emails from guys who state "sooo...what do you like to do for fun?" And I'm always instantly annoyed because I probably listed 15 things in my profile! Come on! If you had actually read it, then you would know that. | |

Posted: 3/10/2007 8:10:36 PM | Sometimes it is hard to make it through all the fluff. Some women write a novel, many times with no paragraphs or punctuation. It is hard to get through. We know that you are a free spirit. Spiritual, but not religious. Looking for you soulmate. Not looking for someone you you can live with, but someone you can't live without. Do you have a handbook of how to write a profile. Remember, men are simple. Sports, sex and food. If it is not included in those categories, we probably don't care enough to read it. | |
