Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?

Guys dont make it better by coming across like cavemen and talking about panties and all that goofy crap. Man, they should have gotten that out in high school. Yet some of these guys are 50. Hey man, thats just gross


Never a truer word spoken.
Just a little bit of advice here for some guys, the following is NOT a good way to get a girl to talk to you. I received it today on another site. My profile on that is simliar to the one I have on here, I specify that I'm quite shy, so why would I agree to this:

At 3:35 PM on 10/11/2005 the match wrote:
Hi Im a producer of adult video's and am currently working on one called specsy women..... I would love you to be in it. The production co will pay all expenses and £250 a day. Please let me know if you would consider this.

hey that was supposed to be between us Hestia!

He's either serious or he isn't... Either way it doesn't sound like you two are a match... I dont think a random dude trolling for victims.. er the next jenna jameson... should count on the stats of actuall guys out there actually looking for an actuall relationship.

Of course he didn't read your profile, your the 500th person he's "trolled" today hopeing to get just one maybe... so he can eat.

This is what I believe to be the problem with online dating. People are advertising and believe they are going to get everything they want. Just like ordering a part to a car. That the part will just fit and every bolt will match every hole. That the part will fit every specification. Unfortunatly, we will probably not find that. Never heard of a couple who did not fight at least once. So when I read a profile, if I meet part of what the profile is stating then I well apply. Besides I would like a women to also have differences as well for interest sake. Therefore, yes I do read the whole profile, and I believe why on line dating can be difficult is for some peoples unrealistic expectations were when face to face you are not that critical.

Now I read your profile surprised you placed this question. You really do not state much. A 40 year old good looking women who are into younger men. Lots of interest. That about sums your profile up.

The specificity of your target market is inversely proportionate to the scope of your audience;

thus, while different things are gonna work for different people, if you chose something interesting to represent you, sure it will miss a lot of people, but you will find it resonates with a lot more people then does something generic.

I personally think men are about a lot more then T & A, but then perhaps wanting a girl with a brain is more uncommon then i realize.


I think I am going to start a small business venture on this.

I don't read profiles for fear that I'll learn something useful. Best to go in blind and hope for the best.

It's like one of those annoying mass mailing campaigns. Spam R Us.

Don't worry VIXEN it's a two way street on here. We also get the same type of emails and we thinks the women don't read our profiles. We're in the same boat but rowing on the other side.

My profile was quite a bit different before aylesford. I just changed it to make it easier for the reading challenged. It had more of my interests and more about myself before. I just made cleff notes instead. It seems to make no difference in the amount of emails I get. I would love to share more of myself on my profile but from what i've seen so far it doesn't matter. I'm going to get emails from people that are going to email me and that's it. I do send out emails myself so it's not like I'm depending just on my profile to meet someone.

Hell, I read profiles, that's why I hardly ever e-mail anyone.

It goes like this:

Wow, she's pretty. Hmmm, lives reasonably close. Not too tall, WOOPS! Doesn't smoke! Darn.

Or - "My hobby is working out" , she's out! I got a pot belly and an extra chin...
"I love dancing in clubs" , nope!
"I travel to Europe (Caribean, Bali, etc.) several times a year" , No way I could afford to keep up!
"I love Football!!!!", I'm not at all into sports...

"I wants a mens what is edumacated like ME, dumbies are booring!" Oooo-kaaay.

"My mate must be successful, intense, focused, goal oriented and know exactly what he wants in life and goes for it like a pitbull", Umm...I'm pretty mellow...

It's a zoo out there I tell ya!

Some men don't even look at the pics. I got an email recently from a guy who said "I really like your smile".

He couldn't even see my smile, from the pics I have posted.

I like when they write:
I like your legs, they're so long you must be really tall.

My profile says I'm under 5ft

Yep, some of us to read Every little detail in your profile and the we have a lot in common line is not always as fake as it seems. Guys that dont read a profile through are looking for SEX. Their is a difference,, who gives a **** about whats in a girls profile if all you want is sex, all you need is the attraction for that. I'll also implicate that since their is generally people on these sites that are more shy; that they are looking to get some action cause its been a while for them. Lets be honest a lot of people are on here because they cant get any action in the realm outside computers due to the fact that sending a message to a complete hottie online to approaching her in a bar is a completely different ballgame..

I read the profiles and usually get turned off by that. Not because of not much info, but just things that we aren't compatible with. Im not an athlete but I do exercise and have recently started getting back into shape. I want to live to be 150!!!

So yeh, a lot of us read the profiles.

interestingly, SOME guys do read mine. well, some still leave a message without reading it and use some lame ass line...then i tell them to read my profile and leave it as that. after reading, some of them still note back, others don't...which i don't mind. cuz sometimes i reply after them having say they've read it...sometimes i don't...lolz

I will read a profile until I see smoething I don't like. If you start off playing the victim with "No games, cheaters, liars, etc." I listen to Ms Warwick and I Walk On By.

Yep I try to read a womans profile many times if I am interested in them before contacting them. Just to make sure I haven't misunderstood what they have written. Usually if I contact someone I have tried to do my homework on them and check out thier forum post if they participate in them. I feel I can learn alot from the forums about someone.
