if she doesn't sound like someone that would flash her boobs after reading the first 2 sentences of her profile,than next...

it has nothing to do with profile length. it is all
about who you really are. that is why posting in the forums is generally a much better way to get to know people here. i read your long profile and it was interesting and it was not boring or in any way irritating to me. so, as you like it. |

itry:
I stop reading on if I am bored So what you and some other guys are saying is I need to have some action scenes in the middle of my profile if I want to make it long and worth reading? Maybe, right in the middle of my profile, I need a paragraph explaining how I like it in the bedroom. ha ha. .... Right at the beginning of my profile I ask guys to have their shirts on when they message me. I still get guys that don't even read that far. I delete their messages unread. ..... Side note. I wish guys would show more patience. One guy that I thought I liked turned me off with his impatience. I read his first message and it was good, then I went to make a sandwich, then came back to reply to his message. I then saw that he had sent me another message criticizing me for not responding to his first message. It was only 25 minutes. geeze. Of course I blocked and deleted him. |

Guys, are you turned off by long profiles?
No, but I am turned off by women who can't stop talking about themselves. |

I snipped this post here from breathless1 for brevity but it should not be a factor.
breathless1:
Interesting you should say..."information not read is useless". I disagree, Amanda. I tend to use that is a huge filter, if you will, that if someone chooses not to read my profile...then it is a good indicator this is someone I would not be compatible with. I agree Regarding pics, I don't tend to enjoy the *posed* ones or "hey, look...I'm sooooo drunk" ones too much. Also, I absolutely hate the dreaded "Glamourshot" photos! I have them all. Glamor shots. Drunk shots from a friends birthday party, and natural shots. Having many different types shows my personality. Don't state, on any level, what you prefer sexually: HUGE turn-OFF for me! This is the only one from your list of dislikes that I had in my first addition of my profile. I might add it back in. I don't want to hook up with a conservative bedroom guy. I'm a little kinky and I think guys should know that. ..... and saw a post of yours stating you "looked at other women's profiles to see what you could steal from their written words..." (or something like that)?? Huge red flag and major NO-NO in my opinion.. That was obviously a joke. If I did steal from others I wouldn't post about it. I like sarcasm and humor. I see you don't really pick up on humor too well. Again, I can be forgiving because your profile reads as that of a typical 22 year old girl, and your actions here thus far confirm this. I'm sure you are a lovely gal in your own right...and I wish you much success in your search here. "your actions here thus far confirm this" ha ha, There it is. I was wondering if certain people would send in their boyfriends to do their dirty work. I don't think you have any idea what a typical 22 year old girl is like. ha ha. I Thanks for your impute. If you had not added that personal insult at the end, which allowed me to see your real motivations and maturity level, I might have given weight to your opinion. As such, your insult made your entire post suspect. |

When people make mean or spiteful remarks they are turning off many people. I am as I am on my forum post. I'm beautiful, intelligent, impatient, a little controlling, I don't back down, sometimes a little immature, nice, confident, one who takes constructive feedback, an attention seeker, and a few other things that I'm sure you have noticed. Simply put, I am Amazing. Now I just need to find an Amazing guy that can handle me. |

If you had not added that personal insult at the end, which allowed me to see your real motivations and maturity level, I might have given weight to your opinion. As such, your insult made your entire post suspect. I do appreciate and somewhat respect your response, Amanda. To address the few issues you took with my post: 1. I, too, appreciate humor. Very much so! However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt again stating you were being saracastic in your post about stealing other's words from their profiles. If you were being *humorous*...then I'll give you a huge "HA HA"! 2. I am completely clueless as to your other comment about "sending in their boyfriends for their dirty work"?? I am not attached to anyone at the moment, and certainly not anyone on this site. This I can assure you, if I were even remotely involved with a woman on this site...I would feel no need to fight her battles for her as she would be a strong woman who could stand alone in her words and actions. 3. My last input was NOT a personal attack or even an insult, but rather an honest observation from a 40 year old man is more than aware of a 22 year old's mentality and state of being. I was simply basing my post on your personal profile and the few posts of yours I viewed about 20 minutes ago. If there is some other fire burning for you in other threads, that's your deal...not mine...own it. |

I am not attached to anyone at the moment. ........ Then you have my apologizes. Your last comment sounded like something a certain someone would say. 3. My last input was NOT a personal attack or even an insult, but rather an honest observation from a 40 year old man is more than aware of a 22 year old's mentality and state of being.... "More than aware" ?? Really???? How many times have you been with a 22 year old woman? How many 22 year old women do you talk to everyday and hang out with? How many 22 year old women do you really even know? I have been a woman all my life and I have been a 22 year old woman since May 1st. How long have YOU been a woman? How well do you know me? How many 22 year old women of my caliber do you see on dating sites? You don't know anymore about the typical behavior of a 22 year old woman than I do about the typical behavior of a guy your age. There is no such thing as typical behavior. There is only PERCEIVED typical behavior. We are each our own person. Should I judge you based on all the mail I get from guys your age? I could then say you're acting like a typical middle aged man. Would that be fair? hummmmmm? edited for typo correction. |

So, long profile or short one? I personally prefer more information to less. (But my profile is 3390 pages long.) I should say that 99% of all the women's profiles I see (not just on this site, but everywhere) are not worth the 0.4 seconds it takes to read them. "I don't know what to write here" is not exactly thrill-packed and full of valuable facts and figures. Ideally, a profile should say something about the person who wrote it, be a reflection of that person's thoughts and dreams and hopes and tell the reader who this person is. In reality, it's usually slightly less interesting and informative than the UPC code on a bag of potato chips. Forum posts tell me the most about a person -- they're more "real-time," less static, and more broad-based, if the person posts fairly often in different forums. A profile may sit, unchanged for months, or even years. Still, some people NEVER post in the forums -- so all you have to work with it the profile. If all it says is "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask," I have no incentive to ask anything in the first place. As an author, I understand the value of writing well, writing with substance. More importantly, I understand the necessity of saying something, clearly and (hopefully) in a thought-provoking and/or amusing way. If someone wants their profile to get my attention, there had better be something in it. |

Nothing pleases a writer more than having someone notice his work! Well, maybe someone doing my laundry would be good too, but you can't have everything....! |

Holy s**t Lex. Your profile is ummmmmm well, does it stop?
I am at my parents house at the moment and I am on a phone modem. The modem took a while just to scroll through all your profile. When I get home to my high speed connection I will have to click your profile. I want to see if I can scroll all the way to China. Thank you for your input. I would say you are more than qualified to comment on long profiles. I do agree that forum post are a better way of getting to know a person. Unless of course the person's forum post happen to disappear. ha ha hummm hummm hummm la la la la la ....some here know to what I speak. I don't know if a woman could get away with having a profile as long as yours. |

Yup, I am kind of fond of your stupid idiot rebound comment: "dumb, Dumb, DUMB" states it perfectly. Brilliance of the insightful written word, indeed! Nope, you are on your own to find a lovely lass/lad to wash your dirty shorts, sorry. I'm impressed, but not in love with you, dear sir. |
