OK, I am not making this up. I got an e-mail from someone who read my profile and went on to say "I can tell by your profile that you're a good writer" and that she actually "wished it was longer."

Of course, I explained that I couldn't make it any longer because stuff starts disappearing off the bottom if I don't remove something else beforehand.

But the point stands. Wait, I forgot what the point is. Oh, right, the point is that there are still people out there who appreciate endless, lengthy ramblings about whatever it is that's in my profile these days.

And that says something. Probably.

I want to thank her for her kind words and support for my overblown literary endeavors.

As for the rest of you, you can all learn something from this. You can learn that it takes just over 4 years for someone to notice that your profile is really really long and still say something nice about it. If it is, I mean.

I guess that means it'll take decades or possibly even centuries for anyone to notice mine, being that it's rather short and non descriptive.

I don't think so! My overall impression is that she's quite unique!

Kristi, I get that all the time. They say "Hey, I just read your profile. Where do you live and what do you do?" And I say, "That's in my profile, maybe you should go back and read it again." And they say "Why don't you just tell me?"

Usually, right after that, they ask if I want to see their "private" pics on Yahoo. I say no, I drop a little note to Admin, they're gone in 10 minutes. I love efficiency!

I have read your profile a couple of times Lex and found it very interesting. I think that is the difference between those that are serious about getting to know people and those that don't want to take the time....jmo

Believe me those are ones I leave behind real quick. If they can't take the time to read then they most likely can't hold a conversation as well....noway

Yeah, I think so, too -- especially after I've read 14,882,945 consecutive profiles which say "I don't know what to write here"....!

How serious can I get about someone who gives me nothing to work with....?!

It doesn't have to be long to be good, it just has to say something about the person....I don't see many of those, but I always enjoy reading them.

Most people read it a little at a time because it's too long to read in one sitting. It's like "War and Peace" only without the war and peace.

Yes, and I'm amazed that your headline actually fit in there! But I like the profile, great pics, and I get a sense of who you are. I think you could use a little more info, but I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to writers.....

This gives us hope Bro!

I gotta ask...Well?

I know you went and checked her out. What do you think? I can tell you got a positive reaction and who doesn't enjoy some personal reenforcement....what good things did you get from her profile?... cause obviously the chick has some taste at the very least.
