Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 10/19/2006 2:15:25 PM | | Lots of tossing this question about. Here's what's been my experience ... not my point of view or opinion, my experience. First ... we all check the photo first, right? After all, we all do want someone pleasing to the eye and a photo can tell a lot about someone. Now, if your photo is really dark, or you have a goofy look, think your motorcycle makes you appealing, think brushing your hair is too much trouble, can't find a decent shirt to wear, make yourself a tiny part of the background of the picture, or think a dead pan expression is appealing, well, your photo won't help. But you don't need to take your shirt off to get responses. I haven't taken mine off and I have no trouble getting responses, and I don't consider myself a beauty queen. It's simply a well-taken photo in which I wear a nice smile. Okay? Simple. Again, a photo says a lot about you. If you do the sexy pose, guess what they're going to think. If you haven't brushed your teeth this year, guess what they're going to think. Take the time and effort to get a good photo taken. Web cams and hold the camera to the mirror don't say good things. Get out there and find a friend to come help you take some pics and spend some time preparing yourself so you look as good as you can. And simle ... look the camera in the eye and give it a nice hello smile. That's all you need to do. As for whether the guys read our profiles ... again ... my experience has shown that the guys who are simply looking for a temporary physical partner don't read them ... why should they? When these guys approach me, I go check their profile ... and lo and behold, their profile is all about hugging and touching and rubbing. On the other hand, the guys who are sincere about a relationship DO seem to read my profile ... AND ... remember what was said in it. And when I go read their profile, I find they have actually told me a little about themselves as well. So I would answer this question by telling you to clarify WHO is reading your profile, and for what reason. And if you aren't being contacted by guys who seem to have read your profile ... maybe you need to take a new picture or revise your profile. Yes, it's a marketing tool ... you ARE selling yourself. So think about what you want to say. Think about whether it will interest anyone ... and is it the truth? I've had long profiles and short profiles and I honestly don't think it matters. I look at it this way. If I put a long profile up, then I'm simply letting you know as much about me as I'm comfortable with BEFORE you meet me. (Helps eliminate some of the unwanteds.) As for those who don't like to read long profiles, well ... maybe there's a reason. Maybe they are educated enough for that many concepts. Maybe they only want a temporary physical partner. Either way, if I write a long profile and they don't like reading a long profile ... I don't care. REMEMBER ... if they're too flipping lazy to read your profile, they aren't going to be interested in getting to know much about you either. Long profile or short profile ... it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are honest about yourself in however many words you want to use. If they don't want to or can't read your profile, then maybe you need to move on. | | | |
