Long profiles....

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

I quite enjoy a read of a profile to get the vibe from the woman/couple I’m contacting... but I do often see line after line of ‘why don’t people read profiles’ or ‘if you bother to read my profile....’ & ‘ I know you’re not going to read this but...’. So my question is why do people write such long profile bio’s?

So when people write the standard lazy “Hey how are you, what you looking for we can just copy and paste

Because they can. Your profile is essentially your shop front.

There and to the left a bit

Because it's their profile and they have chosen to write it that way....is really the only answer to that question.

I enjoy a long profile that gives a flavour of someone more than "Looking to meet x,y,z type for sex"

Ours is medium long.

Others are short.

Some people have the patience and attention span to read them and others don't.

I'd rather read a long bio than most of it be taken up by the Sydney University nonsense and other 'legal' notices.

Each to their own, but we tend to make a judgement based on how well people articulate themselves and not just what they look like.

its kind of pointless because if they are rants people stop reading and base whether they will message that profile on pics, if the profile is long because of wants basically the same if it shows some personality and is engaging i read it but in answer to your point a very long profile write up is pointless

Im not in marketing ...but there is an optimum length and style of words that generally catches people's attention ..and they will digest

I do like reading longer quirky profiles tho

Obviously no matter what you write some people don't seem to read anything ..

Our profile text is just a little flavour of who we are... if people like what they read and see they can get in touch. If not, no worries. There is no standard or rule. For the most part it is a reflection of the person or couple who writes it, so it will, inevitably, be varied. You’ll either be attracted by it your won’t x

When I look at a profile several things will stop me from reading it. If I see that BDSM percentage list, if I see that the majority of the text is warnings about prosecuting me if I use their content, if the first sentence says "I know nobody will read this", if the first couple of sentences say things like "why won't anybody give us nice guys a chance and if it's more than about two paragraphs long. That's just me though, people should write what they want at any length they want

"What is a short profile and what is a long profile? Appreciate if you could elaborate a bit more. How many words is ideal? "

I would say short would be 100 words and a good solid long profile would be about 20-300 words. Sound ok?

I like reading a lengthy profile especially if a bit of humour is chucked it.

It helps you get a feel of how the person is.

I sometimes use the bio as a decider on whether I want to reply or not. Checking if wants are the same and secondly if they’ll bore me

over there by that tree

I like to have a good read of a profile, it gives me insight to if I actually want to send a message or not - if they have taken the time to articulate what they are looking for or not this helps tailor the message to them specifically.

A little effort goes along way for better words.

"Ours is medium long.

Others are short.

Some people have the patience and attention span to read them and others don't.

I'd rather read a long bio than most of it be taken up by the Sydney University nonsense and other 'legal' notices.

Each to their own, but we tend to make a judgement based on how well people articulate themselves and not

just what they look like.

Happy anniversary. If it is obvious someone has read your profile, does that improve their chance of their message being read

Trust me, we'll know if you've read it properly and not just looked at the status

I’m sure ( the happy anniversary wasn’t to show as if I’d read your profile, it was just to say Happy anniversary)

And we thank you kindly

You had me at Espresso Martini Happy anniversary Xx

Thank you We've been practicing making them during lockdown. Nailed it now

Amazing! But without a taste test I won’t believe you "

Haha, drop us a line once social distancing ends

"I quite enjoy a read of a profile to get the vibe from the woman/couple I’m contacting... but I do often see line after line of ‘why don’t people read profiles’ or ‘if you bother to read my profile....’ & ‘ I know you’re not going to read this but...’. So my question is why do people write such long profile bio’s? "

Like I used to say at the beginning of mine: "This profile is like a penis. I play with it when I'm bored, and it usually gets bigger when I do."

I enjoy doing it. Sometimes in a sexual way. Bits of it are almost like I'm writing porn, and you can bet I'm typing mostly one handed. I tend to edit most of them out when I'm less revved up, though.

I know plenty just think TLDR, but I regularly get compliments on how it's an interesting, honest and descriptive read. So I leave it large for the benefit of the people who like it that way. Those who don't want to read all of it don't have to.

The way I see it, if someone's serious about meeting me, they're going to be spending at least half an hour getting ready and possibly travelling. So 5 minutes reading a profile is neither here nor there.

Within the first few lines, mine tells you that if you message me out of the blue for a go on my fucking machine, you're likely to get blocked. I still had 2 people message me asking exactly that, yesterday. It shows how few people bother to read profile text at all.

"What is a short profile and what is a long profile? Appreciate if you could elaborate a bit more. How many words is ideal? "

Somewhere between War and Peace and a takeaway pizza menu?

Short, long as long as it’s good.

Read a few long ones, there are some brilliant ones, as well as some ridiculously dull ones we don't get past the first sentence.

I used to get endless messages who didn't match my specific requirements so I wrote them on my profile. I used to reply to all my messages, often saying "sorry not my type etc" then they ask why... Just look at my profile

I like the write up to fit neatly in my screen without me having to scroll, but accept that when you write there can be more you want to say that makes a profile long. I just stop reading if I'm bored

My profile is long-ish I suppose. Bit of a babbler you see. And I tend to meander a bit.

My rule of thumb is. The bio needs to fit into one screen on my phone without having to scroll down to finish reading it. If I have to scroll down it’s too long.

They people are important to many people, so if you aren't 1 of them, move on to someone else. Reading 1 word or all of it is a choice, it's not mandatory and they probably have little or no interest in someone who can't make the effort to get to know them.

Mine is quite long.

I think it describes me pretty well.

That's the crux of it.

I don't actually care if people read it or not.

Yours is perfect, it was your profile that initially attracted us

I feel like mines too long. It doesn't need that much information on there.

But you see, yours doesn’t involve moaning about people not reading it.
