"A bio can certainly put us off. When looking to meet, we always read. I’m good with criticism get it lots on here it’s all fun and games to me ! So feel free would a profile like mine be a turn off " I see it as tongue in cheek, though there are many a truth said in jest. Your comment about deep meaningful relationship may well put us off, with us being a couple rather than single lady. I think though, that many may not see the humour in your profile and could skip you by. | |||

"This is a swinging site, many profiles read as if the writer is seeking a date for a long term relationship and ramble on about hobbies etc. It is not surprising that "single" straight(they usually mean fab "straight!" men struggle to get meets. " Yeah long bios and to the point as in every aspect of them is been touched on are very boring they usually loose me on the 3rd sentence | |||

"We always read the bio. I think yours would put us off, as it’s very difficult without knowing someone’s personality to gauge the tone of text. But saying that if you sent a good first message I think we would go with that. Have a lovely Christmas xx " Much appreciated thank you guys | |||

"… would it turn you off someone you really found attractive cause you didn’t like something in there bio ? " Maybe, it may make them more attractive too. It’s not that important to me, for the same way I have not been thorough with mine, there’s some fun finding out about friends, and somethings are better to find out in together. | |||

"I always read the bio. Majority of men don't as the questions start and the answers are in the bio if the care to read it. Hopefully they tell you a little about the person and what there looking for and also if its worth messaging them or not..." This! I find it really frustrating when men message and something they say/ask shows that they clearly haven't read my profile. I will also always check a profile if someone messages me before I even open the message. Any profile with no photos/bio or poorly written is likely to be ignored as no point when there's not even something to intrigue me. | |||

"I always read the bio, so much can be said about a person And yes it can put me off I think women obviously pay more attention then men " I disagree. Consistency is key on here and if a bio doesn't match the pics or visa versa I won't engage at all. A bad or lazy bio and I won't even look at the pics because that tells me they expect others to do all the work. | |||

"This is a swinging site, many profiles read as if the writer is seeking a date for a long term relationship and ramble on about hobbies etc. It is not surprising that "single" straight(they usually mean fab "straight!" men struggle to get meets. " My bio is long and rambling. The whole point is to show why I am different to the hundreds of other single men and why people should choose to spend time with me, rather than other people. It's my 'shop window'. I generally prefer a long languorous meet, not a blow-and-go or gloryhole session, and that is why my profile isn't just a dick-pic, with the words 'fancy a fuck' In the headline It tends to filter out the sort of swingers I wouldn't meet, so job done. | |||

"If the buo is shorter than their legal defense that's a turn off. The language they use and if they just have a huge list of demands (not preferences - demands) then that's the same. LvM" 100% this. Your warning to Sydney University really shouldn't be the main feature (it's also meaningless, but hey). Almost as annoying as "will fill in later". So, yes, profile is important to me - it's the chance to give the world a bit about you, so feels like a missed opportunity not to bother with one? | |||

We actually met a fill in later profile, at a party at the weekend, they are absolutely fantastic as a couple and certainly enthusiastic and very real. We didn't know their FiL status and only discovered it on the ferry home... | |||

Not saying a FiL wouldn't be a great person, and I'm sure most are, which just makes it harder to understand why they wouldn't spend even a few minutes writing about themselves. I should have caveated my comments with "FiL, but have been on the site for ages!"... | |||

"You can’t know a person by a few pics and words on a screen… " This ^ Even if you read their profile and get some sense of who they are, and get to "know" them a bit better through messaging, you can always be totally fooled when you actually meet them, and its happened many times on fab. Plus you might allow yourself to be turned off someone you could actually have a great time with, just purely basing your decision on an initial perception of what you think they are like, rather than meeting for a social to start with and actually seeing what kind of a person they are | |||

"It definitely can make a difference because it can give you something to start a conversation with. With 1 line you can't really do much but even those with long bios can sound arrogant depending on the content. I'm not sure how great mine is as I'm shit at writing about myself and not sure how I can make it stand out from the loads of men's profiles in here." If there are some good pictures you can say to them that the pictures interesting and perhaps they have a backstory to match. Some people will have the same lack of confidence in the profile ad they would in compiling a CV. This site works brilliantly if you can sell yourselves. | |||
