| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/8/2006 5:24:00 PM | Read?
Are you people mad?
Reading is the first sign of perversion!
And it is evil.
Besides reading leads to information and information leads to NO mystery!
Sheesh.
Where is the sense of adventure?
Literate wackos.
Go in blind--post a few photos and leave the rest blank--go for the mystery, the suspense, the drama!

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/8/2006 5:32:05 PM | i read profiles because ...well..i'm generally interested in people's behaviour. i even read female's profiles. [if psychology didn't take forever to finish...i'd have gone into that...specifically on human's behaviour].
anywho...well...i'm a chick...so i guess i can't be a part of this thread's statistic...XD | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/9/2006 5:55:02 PM | | Usually I read the whole profile. Sometimes I don't do it at first, but eventually I read the whole thing. The more into somebody I am, the more likely it will be the I will want to know as much as I can about them, so I will likely go back to the profile and finish reading what I started. I suppose, initially, I just read certain things, the important things that would have to be a match in order for us to be compatible. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/9/2006 6:55:19 PM | Yes.
Every single woman I have ever contacted on this site ( in regards to going for a coffee, not just complimenting someone on a post or something) has set a certain set of "demands" or "desires" .
If I meet them, and she interests me, I will ask her out for a coffee.
Without exception, they have all refused.  | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/9/2006 6:59:41 PM | It's nice to hear that alot of you actually read the profile. But,there's still a TON who don't. Mine says I'm here for the forums only,but I would still get a pile of emails,saying something crass like "UR Hot" or somesuch crap. That's the reason for the kitty picture. I'm not that great-looking,but, hell,read the profile! | |

Leaf’s the picture doesn’t matter, I was an eye for awhile… You'll still get that. Apparently, I was a ‘sexy hot’ eye, lol | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/9/2006 7:22:10 PM | | If people catch my eye in the forum I will read there profile whether male or female, haven't really gotten into the emailing thing yet, my life is in between places and I am thus not inclined to strike up great friendships for a wee while, but hey, its all good. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/9/2006 7:41:52 PM | It's not the fact that the guy wants to change your mind. Maybe some people are stupid and don't read but, It's just the fact to get to know someone. There is more than just what is written in a profile. And you don't even get a good sense of there personality.
This is what I did....I sent a nice young lady that was 29 years old a message. I read her profile first and it read
Looking to date and possible long term relationship. I want an honest person with goals. Someone who enjoys life and believes the cup is half full. I am extremely outgoing and love to have fun. Lots more to tell just ask!!! and that’s it. She sounded like my type, didn't smoke and actually listed that she was a professional.
I sent her a funny e-mail message and attached a rose to the e-mail.
I saw she read it and delete the e-mail. So,. I decided to try a different approach one last time. I sent her an e-mail that read....
You are looking for long term.. I put chat or e-mail just so there is no stress if it doesn't work out. You can't really tell if you don't chat and find out.
You want an honest person with goals. I am a teach at a college. Before you become a teacher you have to have a background and drug test. I am safe, clean, and you can't lie when you are a teacher. The students pick up on that right away if you did. My goal is to open up another company which is a family style Italian restaurant. This is no ordinary restaurant. I already have the business plan. This is one of my many goals.
I am outgoing and have fun and very active in everything I do. I do tend to ask a lot of question.
I ended it with a question so we could at least be friendly with each other.
It really doesn't matter if you read the whole e-mail or not. This one just deleted my reply anyways after I , in a sense , answered what she said she was looking for. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/9/2006 8:17:52 PM | Thank you kindly awesomed  Lol, never thought an eye would distract from reading the profile. hmmmm… what about a bioluminescent jellyfish? I’m trying to encourage some reading-comprehension focus here…

Sigh...
Attractive, a nice profile, and ....(wait for it) 29.........and in Peterborough.
And a Gemini.... ( oh, kill me now)
Love Signs Romance in the stars for Gemini + Gemini
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since you're birds of a feather, or rather humans of a zodiac sign, you have the potential to grow closer than most couples. Remember, when you're involved with a Gemini, you're involved with a jack-of-all-trades, a whiz-kid, a trickster and a messenger. If you can give each other good communication, social interchanges and a variety of life experience, then you have a better chance of getting each other's love and affection.
Each one of you can be accommodating and obliging. Essentially, you're both versatile and enjoy variety. You're both pretty good at adapting to change and going with the flow. In fact, you'd both usually rather go with the tide than against it. Between the two of you there are probably six or seventeen projects going on at the same time. It is important to establish priorities in several arenas of your life. You will be happy when you determine exactly what you want together.
You enjoy teamwork and social interaction more than more most folks. The world of ideas is important to both of you. Intellectual companionship. Seminars, books, magazines, films and educational cassettes are of mutual interest. You share an interest in perceiving, comparing and communicating.
Gemini and Gemini work on your ideas together. Get them down on paper, onto index cards, into a word processing machine and up and out into the airwaves and the Internet. Both Gemini and Gemini are essentially articulate, versatile and adroit. Put another way, you each like variety and ideas.
At times, you each may feel like the other has not one, but at least two different personality sides. Your minds naturally go from subject to subject. You can share varied interests and like to keep up with what's going on in the world. Each of you can be the original "quick study" who grasps facts, concepts and ideas. On the other hand, both of you can get bored easily and do not like things to drag along.
TIP: This relationship needs open lines of communication. The best way to get along is to appreciate each other's sense of humor.
Grab a brussel sprout, and throw one for me.

I would think that a person with no photo at all would get very little interest. Men are very visual and i think women sometimes more emotional driven but i think we probably are all different :) | |

*Vainly tries to pull off a Bogart impression* Will always have… ummmhmm…. Smith Falls? … hehe (nearest Timmies to both of us. Makes you wish you lived in a more geographically confined country… like Luxembourg or Holland perhaps, doesn’t it?).
*hand’s Montreal a brussel sprout* And I want you to know I don’t share those with just anybody. | |

| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 1/10/2006 11:20:55 AM | | I will ask women if they ever read through a man's profile,judging from some responses i have received the women seemed to think that i said i had sexual fantasies about my grandmother and would love to have sex with a woman in her mid 60s,they must also think i define height weight proportion as being as wide as you are tall,they must think that i would realy consider a relationship with a woman living in the former Soviet Union.,now i ask again do women read profiles. | |
