Reading all interested profiles

Howdy, M2 Members:

For whatever it's worth:

99% OF WOMEN CONTACTING ME are without a clue who I am... they have NOT yet reviewed my profile.

THE GOOD NEWS IS... they have PRE-QUALIFIED themselves. DONE DEAL. ;)

PREVALENT ISSUE: Because this is such a PREVALENT issue from my experience... I have posted the following at the TOP of my profile just on principle:



**************************

Enjoy Intelligent, Adventurous, Resourceful Women

*** HOWDY, LADIES... YOU BEST READ MY PROFILE BEFORE CONTACTING ME. ***

***WANT MY ATTENTION?***
MESSAGE me something **intelligent** ... **imaginative** ... and **enchanting**.
I am an 62, educated, mature, alpha male...
I will be glad to reciprocate. ;)

*** I NO LONGER RESPOND TO MEET-ME's & FAV's. ***

**************************


People do what they do.

I personally don't contact anyone until I have fully reviewed their profile and photos.

Attracting a keeper takes patience... effort... and multiple dating sites! (LOL!) (e.g. I am also on POF.)


I hope some find this helpful.

Don't you hate it when they ask "Where are you from?"?

Proof that they haven't checked out your profile

I don't read profiles but I blame that on being spoilt as a child.

You know when it was your birthday and you'd open the card and money would fall out. Who bothered to read the card after that

Darn it!! I guess I will have to aim my charming wit elsewhere

Can't speak for all guys but if I read all profiles I look at, some more quickly than others if I am not sending them a message.

For ones I am actually interested in I actually read it thoroughly so I don't sound like more of a complete dork than I already am. How can I make an impression if I don't know what she is hoping and looking for

Maybe I ask you what you are looking for as a way to start a conversation. Some people have in their profile that they are looking for new friends. Sometimes they really mean they want someone to be a friend first with the hope or expectation of it developing to something more. Some just truly want a friend and nothing more. So that question gives them a chance to expand on what they want without writing a life story in the profile. Yes I do read profiles and it is very annoying when you know someone has just clicked yes on your profile picture without reading profile. Men and women both do this. I have discovered that the women that take the initiative to send the first message are the ones that are most willing to meet. So yes be cautious about some of the questions being asked but don't just assume we are all scammers.

No I do not think they read profiles nor do they even pay much attention because someone just sent me mail saying how much he liked my picture really??? I don't even have a picture up

I read them over 2 or 3 times...what i don't get is how
the women from other countrys always contact me,,I do think
the picture says more..I notice llots of profiles seem to be
asking for the impossible..Sometimes I think being to honest
isn't a good thing either...oh well.....

Yes, I read profiles. Every word. Do they answer a bunch of questions (like on other sites) - then I read them all too. Whatever they put in their profile, I check it out. This is potentially my partner and I want to know everything they have to say. It helps get a sense of who they are and if we might be compatible. And it gives me something to go on when attempting to start a conversation.

Agree

come on ladies lets move on to something better than not reading a profile.

No, a lot don't read the profiles, but I am finding that some of the important ones DO read the forums.

You have to read the profiles. Empty ones are a red flag that the profile is fake. Also, one thing that stops scammers is when you ask a girl to skype.. If she's a fake there is no way the scammer is going to hire some chick to show her face on a video chat..

Nobody really reads the profiles. I have been contacted by fake women who scam. When I ask them where they are from, they reply back with some other city and state that they are actually in. Like for example, the latest one, her profile says she's in Phoenix, Arizona, but when I ask her, she says she's in Midlothian, Virginia. This is a huge red flag. Sure the conversation is very good and typical, wanting to get to know you, then for some reason, they have tell you about an "inheritance" from their "lawyer", or that when they pay for a plane ticket, they inform you that their credit card was hacked and they need money and promise to pay you back. I figure that there aren't any real women on this website.

I have even put in my profile that I am only looking for women who are only in my area. So, the answer to your question is, no, no one reads profiles and most of the users on here are fake.

That is my two cents.

So this site is pretty much dead? I took a look at the "who's online" part and some of those placenames for TX are funny, they are so bad.. I guess scammers never bother to learn geography...

I have run into lots of scammed when I first started this. If they ask for ur email. Scammer. If there messages read just a little off. Scammer. They don't have a perfect concept of out language so they misuse it and leave out a lot of two letter words. Never give out ur email facebook or number till ur sure.

No we don't READ,we DARE!

I of course can only speak for myself, but I read (which is not to say I won't regrettably miss a detail from time to time)...in fact, I don't respond if a woman's profile just says "hi" or is inexplicably short. I don't need a novel but a little info is nice. The conundrum I'm dealing with right now as a new member (2 days - I'm talking NEW!) is how much do I want to include in an initial e-mail. I don't want to inundate a woman with a tidal wave of information about myself but I'm trying - like every other guy here - to kind of separate myself from the pack, as it were. Any feedback is appreciated, BTW.

Do any of the women ever read the profiles?

A legitimate question.
