Is anyone reading your Profile?
Is anyone reading your Profile? I don’t mean skim… I mean really reading, comprehending and digesting. Lots of complaints on this site, (and every other dating site for that matter) regarding that issue from ladies. What’s the best way to go about accomplishing this… ensuring your profile is being read and that you don’t waste time? Keep your profile short? Make it very detailed and thorough? Or does presenting a point form list work best? I came across a profile on another site that has thought this through, and it may really separate those who have read and processed your words, and those who haven’t. What the lady did, what she interspersed a simple math question in her profile, are requested that any writing to her place the answer in their e-mail. If you are going to try this, may I suggest you request they lead with the answer; makes for quick and easy, read/delete/file execution. Please share your thoughts, as well as your successes, failures, and frustrations Find pleasure in giving pleasure |

- Haha, that's great; who would've thought that an equation would possibly equal more reads in the end. I must try that, if anything just for giggles and grins...

I guess my profile is just as long as it should be, IMHO. I've read them longer (and gotten bored ) and I've read them shorter (hi, I'm a fun guy, looking to meet fun women - blah ). Most people just look at your photo, where you are from, and send that canned email no matter what you write/don't write. 2022... it HAS be better, right?!

It hard to tell who the real lurkers are now that the site allows a mouse over to equate a view. I am very carful where I position the mouse on the page, when on my computer. It happens in the blogs also. It sucks that the CEO has chosen to allow this deceptive practice. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

Some just like the thrill of being chassed... it all a game to them. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

The different membership level does present a additional problem on this site. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I have had that happen many times. It clearly says what we are looking for! Yet I am asked do you do this or do you do this? Change you headline to state that you are old looking for women! Standard users can see that. Also in big bold letters in your profile write up, re-state women only. Additional you may even want to start a blog, put a copy of your profile there ( I have been meaning to do that also), make the post stickey. Also create a post for private messages and make that stickey. Good luck Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I have thought about changing my profile here for a while now.....I actually sat and looked at it yesterday for about an hour and didn't know what to say.....strange, I'm not usually lost for words but it still gets me the sort of contact I don't want....so I backed away and didn't change it. I like Maths....maybe I should go with the equation!!!! ~~Anais Nin~~

It's definitely a picture only thing.I have never not posted my face so that has kept the traffic to an extreme minimum.Everyone's always saying everyone's different and looking for what ever blows their skirt up. A woman can come here as apprehensive as all hell,post a body part in an alluring picture and after the first day and 200 emails.Day two and she's demanding face pictures and asking if there are any decent men left in the world.Deleting blocks of mail they never expected, leaving those that mailed them crossing them off their already mailed list without a clue that they never read let alone looked at them. There are a lot of arrogant guys that come across as having entitlement issues but in reality you find out very quickly who touts the entitlement cards. Using more than all the road!

Man that's taking laziness to a new level, and wonder if that's his attitude towards satisfying his partner. I get and agree with fact that conversations makes thing a whole lot clearer than the written word... but still, I would want to know if someone is looking for a submissive or circus sideshow sized Johnson, before I spend any time messaging them.

It makes no particle of difference what a profile states, how long or how short. No one reads it or comprehends it. I get that standards cant read profiles but it does get frustrating at times. What really makes my butt twitch is the gold members who don't read and comprehend. I guess their gold membership isnt working out too well for them. SMDH

I'm a fan of brevity. I don't believe any profile is going to tell me everything about a person, or be the sole measurement of compatibility. For mine, I try to be brief and to the point about who I am and what I am looking for, with my only, absolute dealbreakers listed. I like to leave the door open as wide as possible, cause what attracts me to a man has been different for each man that I've been involved with. I can seldom discern that from a profile, no matter how well or poorly written. I don't think that the majority of men read them, either because they're standard or for 100 other reasons. My dealbreakers are distance and one night stands, yet many men contact me from another state or seeking instant sex. But overall, the profile is primarily the first point of contact, not the last.

Nope... no one reads mine.

Sis you are are going to have to explain... I don't see how it couldn't, with regard knowing if they actually read your profile or not. I am not suggesting for a second that what she is doing will get more people to read, just separate those who did and didn't. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I don't think half are reading profiles on here.. Maybe they are just looking at pics.. hugsssss V Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

OK, I just read it. You must be referring to the misguided same sex oriented men, who think they can talk a straight man into something. Delusions are delusions, noting will help that.

I haven't perved your profile in a long time... and it's not rocket science to figure what your favorite colour is. Oh well, the men that wrote to you just weren't worthy. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

khuXBFXM8u: Now what you suggested is too much work. I am not going to try and tailor my profile to fit every guy on here nor am I going to figure out what is on their mind. It also doesnt bother me that people look at my profile, either once, twice or a hundred times. I can't be worried or concerned about that. I am glad that you do read profiles but again, many that are gold do not read or, if they do, they certainly don't comprehend.

I read them and respond, or not, as described. Whether they should be detailed (long) or brief is different from one person to another. No way to please everyone. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Hi Calypso, it's been a long time. I commend you on your attempt to answer every message. Not an easy thing to do. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

My profile is fairly lengthy and I figure the kind of person who takes the time to read the whole thing is more likely going to be the kind of person I'd consider going out with.

You are fortunate then, if most read your profile. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I will say it is 60 - 40 who read and don't read. A lot of people contact me about meeting and most have read my profile and know how I like to meet. The others who don't read my profile I send they a message to read it then contact me about meeting. Nice to see you visiting my blog... I have enjoyed your log a time or two. I will have to trust your math, I don't have the traffic to make a call. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I have found that 90% do not read my profile because of the response I get. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

Wow that a really low estimate, and I did look at your profile, it is brief. I wonder if it's that they don't read your profile, or if then just feel there are such a "special snowflake", (to borrow Browneye's term) you will make an exception? Find pleasure in giving pleasure

Ok, I understand. It's a people problem. On another dating website in belong to they have a feature called "meet me", where you indicate you want to meet someone, kind of like a flirt. The feature works by showing a single picture and gives the opportunity to view the full profile. Most women who indicate they want to meet me have not viewed my profile.

Hi all I'm new here, and it look like this site have some problems. As mentioned in the first page I think the biggest issue with people not reading profiles actually have to do with the different type of members. As you can probably see I am a free or standard member. I can't read jack about anyone without someone first sending me a message. This could be why their are so many lurkers who keep revisiting y'all profile. I do agree that many people probably just look at the picture and that's that, but it bring to question to why they are even here. Considering if they are just looking at picture they might as well go watch porn. Can't comment on Flirt, notes, and what not as I don't know what these thing do. The help on this site don't really help. Can someone explain this to me. Also base on your original post, what do you guys think of my profile. Is it too long, should i shorten it, or add? Welcome to Blogville and to my blog in particular. I had a look at your profile, and to be frank, the opening sentence has got to go!!! Aren't you looking for a positive, confident person who is fun? So is everyone else, and likes attract. My advise is this: have a look at this post, and pay particular attention to the comments. Visit some (or all) of the top females bloggers, most at one point or another will provide you with valuable information, and you will get the collective wisdom of the individuals who comment. I will leave it to you to figure who the smucks are, who who's advise and comments to ignore. Put up pictures of you doing some of those fun outdoor activities you mentioned. If you like writing, start your own blog! It a great way to converse with people and figure out who is legit. When you think you have learned enough, re-write your profile. Continue to re-write your profile as what you want changes, and it will change over time. Good Luck Find pleasure in giving pleasure
