| Do you read peoples profiles?
Posted: 10/16/2007 10:49:48 AM | I always read peoples profiles if they have messaged me - but only if its obvious they have read mine.
If people want to message me without reading my profile, and just say things like 'hi', 'wanna chat', or 'wow' they shouldnt be surprised if they don't receive a reply! | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 12:35:08 PM | Yes, because I hope they read mine, it takes time to write and not too long to read, people should show a little effort, I have had loads of men contact me without reading my profile, why not?  it does give you some kind of information about a person and thats what it for. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 8:09:34 AM | Yep... always read the profile before I read the message if it's from someone I don't know or recognise...
And the same as Hula Moo - also read the profiles of forumites and check out my friends & faves for updates/new piccies

I see you posted this question some time ago but many people are still answering it. When the site asks you to state something about yourself, you are revealing a part of your personality that a person should know before contacting on line. It's an important thing for everyone. Keep it simple and fun, but honest for people to see. Your profile is like giving a job resume to your employer before you get the job. In both cases appearance is included, though not the most important thing.

Posted: 10/19/2007 9:00:26 AM | It's definitely the 'hot photo' that makes you click onto the users profile in the first place. You definitely shouldn't make the mistake of not reading someones profile and contacting them right away asking questions when the answers to your questions are already written clearly on the users profile.
My tip to guys is...definitely read the profile if you want to increase your chances of actually getting a reply.
Women on the other hand, if good looking don't even have to bother as i'm sure they'll get a reply either way if having read the 'hot guys' profile or not. Way of the world i guess!  | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 5:37:09 AM | What hooks me...? If the person is funny or straight talking in their profile, either about themselves or about the site or dating or whatever. If there's hardly any information, I won't contact that person because I don't see what I have to contact them about. Also, if someone has written a thesis (like mine) but it's all monotone and diatribe, then I won't contact them. If someone has written stuff which is funny, sarcastic, witty and takes time over it... they're the kind of person I want as friends so I give it a go.
I do also sometimes go on pics or what they have said... one guy looks like Sylar from 'Heroes' in his pic - so I told him so. He didn't know who Sylar was, so I explained it was the evil baddie. He seemed to take it well. Another guy said don't ask about the pirate pic he had. So I asked about the pirate pic. Simple stuff which would show they have a sense of humour... instead of writing "lol" all the time.
Then other times, I am completely shallow. I'll look at a pic because the person is visually appealing to me. But then it all falls apart when they have nothing but "just ask me" in their profile... because even when you do ask... there come back one word answers or "I don't know" type answers. I suppose this is my long-winded way of saying, I like people who can think - but also with some humour about them.

Posted: 10/26/2007 6:27:51 AM | I do, and if I see something of interest I may (but not definitely) E-mail them, and It may be an interest in common or proximity, could even (surprisingly) be the photo. The picture is not too important to me, when you consider, and I have checked this BTW that approximately 50% give or take a few percent more or less, by age or location, of the female profiles on here do not have pictures attached.
There must be as many 'attractive' Ladies without photos as there are with photos, so this is not a consideration with me especially if you bear in mind that a photo can do wonders for the appearance if carefully posed. | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 10:07:22 AM | I find it a bit worrying that this question was even asked. But yes, we have all encountered the brain dead who can't be *rsed to look at a profile.
I do look at the photo first though. It's not about attractiveness. If he is posing like a dork by his motor bike or car, it gets binned. For me, it's about the pose and the smile. If that grabs me, I go to the profile. And the profile is the deciding factor. | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 10:47:07 AM | No I just look at the pretty pictures.  Well in some cases not so pretty. 
Yeah I always have a nosy at the profiles before I open a message.
Found a very sexy man indeed yesterday, then looked at his profile and the cheeky fooker had nicked my headliner and other bits off my profile.  | |

| Do you read peoples profiles or just look at the pictures ????
Posted: 11/2/2007 4:40:09 PM | one of my pet peeves........
ive just been looking at a few mens profiles and noticed that some with very little wrote about themselves or what they want to do seem, according to their HIGH favourites list very popular to women........some of these guys i admit appear "good looking" but to a lot of women when asked ..."its not all about a guys good looks", ok right, i was looking at a guys profile the other day who was on 127 favourites yet his profile had very little on it about himself or what he would want to do on a date.............all this tells me is that women add this guy purely on his "good looks".
until 2 people actually meet all each other sees or knows about each other is what they see on their profiles.......so the majority of the 127 ( which iam assuming are women !!!) are going purely on what they SEE of this guy on his profile.
a question to women out there......what makes YOU add a guy to your favourites list, i know a lot will say anything other than "its his good looks" but in reality a lot will think that. | |

Posted: 11/3/2007 1:19:53 AM | | I look for the whole package. A nice photo will grab my attention but the profile has to be just as interesting or I move on. I prefer to see who I'm chatting to but I've been known to contact people based just on what they have to say if it's that good. | |

Posted: 11/3/2007 2:57:14 AM | Of course i read profiles, a great picture is useless without a great profile to go with it, its like a lovely ferrari sitting there without a bloody engine... I've seen some hot girls on here and there profiles read like someone with an iq of 5 with a single interest... shopping *shudders
mine reads like the demented ramblings of an escaped lunatic and thats purely to scare away said shopping freaks! | |

Posted: 11/3/2007 3:24:41 AM | Profile reading is a sport.... I utterly adore it... I especially love those full of contradictions they make for such good titter... " I wuld lik aprtner who is artikalat" ...classic..
Or the wonderfully termed,
"I am easy going, non materialistic, non judgemental, all I want is a well off man with a nice car , good job , no baldies or fatties and I don't do black"
However the ones that make me cringe are the Sad and lonely ones... Now we have all been hurt at sometime and we all carry emotional scars but for crying out loud...don't make your self a target.... "I have been hurt in the past, no players please"...that's definitely going to keep them away... ..
It is impossible for profiles to give anything but a small insight to somebodies personality, but they do give just enough to either entice you or drive you away..
As for mine...read it... its obvious I am an assole... emotionally scarred, deeply disturbed, high materialistic and devoid of good intent ...damn its just so accurate..

Posted: 11/3/2007 3:25:46 AM | I read loads of profiles for the same reason that I read the posts on here - I find people interesting!! I usually look at anyone who has viewed me and anyone who is new in my Matches. This may make me sound like a saddo but its something I enjoy doing.
I don't have any problem at all in emailing anyone and if I send one it will be a combination of looks, distance, age, job, interests and the overall vibe. Sometimes I write because I just HAVE TO comment but only a tiny percentage of those I look at get contacted. Thats not because I don't send emails but because I look at lots of profiles. However, I am as shallow as the next person and if the person is attractive it helps but I don't think that my view of "attractive" is necessarily the same as everyone elses.
I rarely IM because I usually find it too boring and I rarely put anyone in my favourites. I regularly edit the people who put me in their favourites and always keep it below 20. Usually I remove people because I have no idea who they are - so whats the point. But yes on the whole the exteriorally "beautiful" have the highest favourites - that looks matter is a fact of life I'm afraid. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 9:09:34 AM | yes i do ,i read to get to understand the person what they like and dont like ,also many view me but alas i dont get emails from them ,i again should show if i like that person by emailing them ,but many live in uk and also say to message this person they must be in uk ,which im not i live on an island its only about one hour by air to gatwick tho ,i also would consider moveing or if the lady is single also she would consider comming to the island where i live ,but again its down to feelings on about each other i think ,
but i always fully read profiles right though because getting to no that person is very important start i think  | |
