| Can a profile really tell you much?
Posted: 8/17/2009 7:32:48 AM | | I have filled out my profile fairly extensively and wrote what I believe to be an honest and fair summary of myself and who I am - nevertheless, a lot of the guys who message me don't even bother reading half of what my profile has to say. While it is somewhat flattering to think I'm sometimes being messaged based on looks alone, it's also quite frustrating. I hate being messaged and asked my name when it says on my profile. Is there any point in having all that I do on my profile when it seems like most don't care to read it all? What do you think? | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 8:08:48 AM | | ^^^^ agreed. What you have there is a pretty great filter. Guys who can't even be bothered to read it are definitely not worth the time. It's not your profile, it's them. Flush em and move on. I personally appreciate a well written profile and won't message somebody if there isn't some idea of what they're like on there. | |

In addition, i'm intrigued as to whether you have had any messages along the following lines '9pm til i come'  | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 8:19:57 AM | A couple of suggestions: you might try and break the paragraphs up into blocks of text, as I did with my profile. It makes it easier to read and actually makes it look a bit shorter. Also, since people these days really do have short attention spans in my opinion, you might consider shortening your profile a bit and focusing on a few key traits that define who you are. Sad as it is, most people are looking to do a quick skim of your profile and decide whether or not they want to message you without reading a novel (not that yours is quite that long).
I would agree with the above poster that someone who can't discern your name or other pertinent information in your profile is focusing too much on looks while ignoring who you are as a person; just hit the ignore button in that case. | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 9:29:56 AM | I am not sure what purpose this statement serves -" I have huge boobs (not bragging, it’s just the first thing most people notice—unfortunately. I am typically known as the girl with big boobs, people RARELY remember my name the first time around)."
Also, you need to state the qualities you are seeking in a partner/friend/date. This is a very important paragraph.
Good luck in your search. | |
