the way that a person writes up their profile is an indication of that person's personality
if you dont like the way that they write their profile then you prolly wont like the person if you're expecting them to change their profile to suit you then you'll prolly expect the person to change to suit you too and screw that |

I never read ones that were the length of a gothic novel. I never thought you need to spill your life story in a profile. Just give enough information about yourself and I'd rather find the rest out for myself.

why do some people write a book? dunno about anyone else but that sure makes me click out in a hurry. maybe that is their intention? You sound like the type that they are NOT looking for Hi Quite and Paper! 
I concur with both of you -- as well as some of the other members. I am one of 'those' with an extensive profile. 
My profile is a silhouette -- a manifestation of me. If someone were to have a conversation with me, this issue would not change! Ask Moofooga! I allowed him a word or two during our lunch date!
I am detail oriented person and I highly doubt that will ever change. 
Also, if someone doesn't have the attention span to read about me then that is an indication of their personality. Maybe they won't be attentive in a relationship or care enough to spend quality time with me. I am also annoyed by the 'just as me anything' profiles. What is also an aggravation are the emails of a few guys that ask, "What do you like to do?" 
Hmmm ... well, frigg'n duh! My profile is all but a eulogy! 
Thank goodness there are so many wonderful members to chose from and with whom to make nice.
My profile is the way it is because I don't want to waste my time or anyone else's! If they don't like something in my vignette, they will know to move on ASAP! For example -- NO KIDS! How badly would that suuuuck to find out later than sooner that I don't date men with kids? I also want to know certain details before I invest time in chatting with a person. To me, our profiles cut to the chase! That is a good thing!

My profile is a silhouette -- a manifestation of me -- not only within the content, but also simply because my profile IS long! If someone where to have a conversation with me, this issue would not change! Ask Moofooga! I allowed him a word or two during our lunch date!

It never ceases to amaze me how most men will just respond to a picture and never read the profile before contacting someone! |

U can just some up yourself in a few short sentences anyway.

Yea what's the point of even having a information in your profile? If most people just see the picture and are determined to trying and abduct you? Blah, I think the gene pool needs a lotta chlorine.

Thanks for believing my profile is 'not all that long'. There are times when I think I will cut it down to almost nothing but then I remember when I first joined -- and I received contacts from many guys that are not my type. I hate writing 'thanks, but no thanks' messages (to be polite and acknowledge their message). It’s inevitable that I also get back the “You’re a b*tch” reply!  I love it when I suddenly become a b*tch simply because I am not attracted to 'them'.
The way my profile is now, I only receive a few messages a week and they are very compatible with me!

What is too long? Too short? I consider mine on the short side, yet over half of the folks that write -I like your profile- later when talking to them show that they never even read the words. So, again I ask what is too long or too short. To me its all subjective to the lazyness of the reader. JMO If someone tells me they like my profile, I usually ask what they liked about it. Some can't say, since they never bothered to read it. |

why do some people write a book? dunno about anyone else but that sure makes me click out in a hurry. People with long profiles arent afraid to lay things out for people to know. These personalities usually are confident, open, and sharing (just my opinion). One liners usually are shy, reserved, and cautious. You can read a lot about a person from what they write in a profile. Long profiles are ok for me, more for me to know about a person before I message them is great. Ditto, it is those that say nothing that makes me want to go click. Heck I feel if you don't have the attention span to read my profile then I'm gonna be bored to death with you anyway so best they pass me up and spare me the boredom.  
I'm one that talks a lot I don't want anyone that sits like a lump on a log and can not carry a conversation past what do you want to eat or what do you want to do. Myself I prefer someone that has a mind and knows how to decide things in life without having to be guided everywhere they go. 
Believe me no matter what one thinks there is much more behind this person then what is on my profile. 
To me a profile gives one and insight to the person and helps make that decision if they really want to get to know them any farther or not. Profiles are a way to tell others a bit about the person behind the pictures they are there for a reason. And if my profile makes one pass me up then so be it for most likely it would not have worked anyway if my profile does not make them a bit curious about the person writing it then it is best they pass me by. I have no skeletons to hide heheheh cleaned out the closet last week.

I would be interested to know the ratio of how people have matched up. I always thought the way Most people did was through the forums, and the banter and from there it went to emails, etc etc. But that it was the forums that sparked the initial contact. But...if you ever just click on who's online you'll see a ton of people that you've never seen on the boards. So I'd be curious as to how many hooked up by reading profiles only/mutual match or because of interaction on the boards that Then made you click on the profile.

Yea, but some people do go overboard. I want someone that's a,b,c,d,e,f,g,,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p and q, that also likes basket weaving. Sometimes you start to read and get interested, but by the end, you're thinking wow, glad I read all that. Meh, I like short and sweet. I like my profile, because it gives a little, but has a few things that scream, WTF? |
