Yep, if its a dick pic or so blurry that you can't tell if its a person or a raspberry Bush then I can't be arsed to bother looking.

Sometimes yes

Sometimes no need to open as the first few words you can see tell a story

Also names play a part

Not solely but a dick pretty much guarantees I won’t be looking at the profile and the profile is what I judge first.

It plays a part but it's not the only reason.

For example a bad profile pic with a one word message will probably get deleted straight away.

A bad profile pic with a good message and I'll look at the profile before deciding whether to reply.

The opposite is true as well though, a good profile pic with a bad message will usually get deleted.

There needs to be a physical attraction for me. So yes I would let the pic decide as to whether I read the profile.

So I suppose the cover decides whether I read on or move on.

Yeah. For me a bad profile picture is a con, but my priority is the message

I don’t mind the cock shots as much as it seems to bother a lot of folks. BUT, if it’s a crap cock shot I’m out. Honesty, my favourite profile photos are a nice headshot. Or failing that something similar to what I be done where you still get an idea of who you’re talking too.

Do love photos generally though. I’m really turned on visually and I like a good story too. Xx

We generally don't get that many so we read all. We reply to few.

Always very wary.

Surely that takes out a lot of people though?

Very few have full head shots as their profile pic

I think it's nice to receive a face pic in a message - that someone has trusted me enough to waive their anonymity in the hope of starting a dialogue

Yes lack of imagination in the profile picture, especially when coupled with an awful username, kind of forms a non complimentary start for me

If the message subject is imaginative I open it, the pics don't really bother me, I've met a few that only have silhouettes as their profile pics

When a single female messages, my first thoughts are

'no way this must be fake!' alas it soon becomes apparent it is, or is at least some webcam spam.

If it’s a cock I don’t even open it if it’s an awful user name I don’t even open it.

I check the profile before opening too

No. Not solely on the profile pic. I will always read the message and view the profile of the sender before making any decision.

I used to not read many at all and end up with thousands of unread but now I read everyone, I don't necessarily reply to everyone but I do try and be polite most of the time. Unless I can blatantly tell they haven't read my profile then they won't be getting nothing from me
