Blank Description ?

Recently I have come across more than a few profiles with absolutely nothing in their description ...it is just blank..
I didnt think you could have a profile without somthing in there hence the many ;

blahhhhhhh blahhhhhhhh blahhhhhhhh ??????? Descriptions !

So I just edited my profile and deleted everything when I went to update I laughed my head off when a box appeared saying ;

Are you trying to be funny?

Please enter a PROPER desciption. .....pmsl ...

So I just wondered how some people get away with it ?

Those that have blank descriptions are the ones that create an account through the POF mobile phone app. So i'm led to believe.

I don't know, but to me it just shows laziness and ignorance not to write a few lines about yourself. Perhaps these people think they are so hot looking that their looks will do all the talking.

I recently messaged a lady with a blank description stating as such, and she replied "if anyone want's to know about me, they will ask me"...............I thought "you lazy cow!"

OP, its not limited to mens profiles, i see it very often on womens profiles too, perhaps each section will just have the word "ask!!"... needless to say they dont get asked hahahaha, if i can make the bloody effort, so can they .

lolololololol its bad enough that people make judgement on what we put in our profiles, but its hilarious how some are prepared to make judgement with not a single scrap of information..

why dont people just move on ffs, instead of trying to second guess someone else's thoughts and coming up with something so far from the truth that it is ridiculous... just accept that not everyone here is a clone of you...

If they can't even write a few sentences about themselves on a profile, Imagine how dull actually meeting them would be. Easy pointers for ones to avoid for me.

Personally I am not bothered whether some people have a blank profile or not, and I have no opinion as to why or what their motives are for having one.
I was merely wondering HOW they could upload/update a profile without one, which was answered by Message 2 thanks:)

And also the pop up box made me chuckle when I tried to do the same myself ..

you must have a strange mindset then if a blank profile tells you everything about a person

A blank profile tells me totally nothing about a person, which is reciprocated by my interest level.

Ditto! Totally agree. What is the point joining a dating site with no photo and no description?

perhaps you could elaborate on that please... how would i go about imagining how dull someone is when i have no information about them..? on what do i base my thoughts...?

now if you read some of the posts on here, its much easier to imagine what kind of people they are... some posts show a distinct lack of imagination and intelligence which is very dull indeed...

A blank or a few words with no personal information is about as unoriginal as anyone can get.

It's even more hilarious when these folks are asking people to make an effort when they don't give readers anything to go on.

To be fair an awful lot of profiles with loads of info in them all read very much the same......hobbies include.......looking for.......first date.......all very unoriginal but loads of it.

Edit: I had wondered this myself.....Msg 2, thanks.

If I see a blank profile I assume they are not here for anything meaningful, so if someone is looking for a relationship they will avoid the ones that cant be bothered to write anything in their 'ad'

I saw a profile that amused me yesterday, his headline said 'Looking for an intelligent woman'...guess what? his photo was sideways...made me grin anyway
