depend completely? heck no, i would say...hardly at all. some people may have difficulty defining themselves with words, while others take extreme liberties. you don't begin to know someone until you talk and meet and you really don't know someone until you live with them.

That way you'll find out more about what the person is like. |

If you're not going to use someone's profile and pictures to decide if you want to respond to them, how else are you going to decide? i guess i'm commenting on how easy it is to completely write someone off based on -a para or two that can't possibly tell you enough about a person -a pic that 1)is a simple freezeframe, 2)was carefully selected to appeal, 3)may be old or pshopped -a tentative but respectful email intro |

A profile and pictures are there to spark interest. If you're interested in getting to know that person more, then you should do so. |

honestly, the forums are a great way to get a better idea about people! so keep posting!! Especially since most profiles contain all the informational content of a ketchup stain on an old sock. |

That way you'll find out more about what the person is like. it is the first point of contact, per say, but i've seen so many misleading profiles, or ones that have no information, that i've never used them to as a sole deciding factor. and i guess i'm just a forum freak, i think that's the only way to get a more honest snapshot into someone. |

Yes, I agree about the forums. He had said something about responding to someone based on their profile or an email, so I thought he was just talking about that. The best way to get to know people better is getting into the forums, though. |
