Do any of the women ever read the profiles?

A legitimate question.


I would, if if it actually said anything besides “Hi.”

...in fact, I don't respond if a woman's profile just says "hi" or is inexplicably short.


I skip those, too.

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.
If you include a comment or question about something you read in her profile, that can be a good start. It helps show that you actually read the profile.

The last one that assures a strike out if the physical and lifestyle portions are empty. When I read these I think one of two things: scammers or total waste of time.

I think the Match section has a lot to answer for!
Big picture... do you like....?
Yes/No/maybe (which incidently is recorded as yes)
Then at the bottom of the page, if you bother to scroll down is a brief preview of their profile. It's all about looks and first impressions.

"Do Men Really READ the profiles???" NO, that's why you're supposed to post a picture!! bigsmile tongue2

Seriously though - yes, I do. EVERY word (like some others have said).

Yeah, that (to me) warrants a quick "Sayonara, doll!" slaphead whoa

Well, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I got another one today from a thirty-something in another state. At least she was in a town that I might have been to once, although it would have been decades ago. whoa

And I haven't even worn my "Stud Muffin" t-shirt in any photos. (Actually, it says "Geezer--formerly known as 'Stud Muffin'.") bigsmile

Don't bother reading profiles myself just look at profile pics and see if they are fake which is most of the time.
Only ones I read are from people in the forums out of curiosity to see which country they are from.

There are profiles that I don't read entirely, but those are also women that I would not write! Usually the profiles I skip over are devoid of effort or are have a negative tone.

Yes men read profiles. Maybe the AH's don't care or have the ability to retaine for the time it takes what you're going through, maybe they don't know how to respond to your needs for compassion and caring and a soft ear to talk to. Lots of people here for their own good and benefit, read between their line and good luck.
Sturdy shoulders and soft lips.
Have fun.

Yes, I read profiles. Every word and detail a woman puts in it. She may be the love of my life - and if she is, I want to know everything about her. I want know everything she is willing to share.

Pictures are important - we all are attracted to/not attracted to different physical aspects of our potential partners. But to NOT read a profile is just showing you only care about sex and not a relationship.

Plus, reading a profile can help determine if it's a scammer/fake profile. I move on from those and don't even respond.

I let my dog read the profiles for me.
He is good at sniffing out the fakes.

OK, I am just looking at the dating pool. My profile is perhaps rather negative, in that I am NOT looking to 'hookup' - just viewing the pool candidates..
The comments of emails I receive, it is pretty obvious to me that my profile is NOT being read at all, as the comments in their emails reference what a nice profile it is, etc... are you kidding me?did you read it???
Or are they just MANREADING it?
Manreading - look at the pictures and carry on anyway..
Hints about scammers would be appreciated..

First of all LMFAO I see that Snouter is here (you know who you are lol)

ok to the good looking lady who started this thread. First of all I went to your profile read it and wrote a response but since I am a year to young to write you in lieu of your contact preferences I sent you a kick in the bum nudge and am positing what I wrote right here

Wow, tough break. I just read your thread in the forums where you are asking if any guy actually takes the time to read your profile and having read your profile I can understand why you choose widow. That is very sad what you have endured the past 3 years

That's it, but I love that kick in the bum nudge, it comes in handy from time to time

I’’m gonna say no. Most don’t. I’m beginning to wonder if most even look at age or location.
