Timbuktu - Long Profiles!

Why do people think they need to tell all their life stories on their profiles.

Can anyone honestly say they read all posts that are long like from here to Timbuktu?

I have to wonder myself, I generally get so far down and then get bored, generally find that short and to the point is good enough

Why do you even care?!

Don't read them if you don't wanna meet them!

My profile is long and I'll only meet those who have bothered to read it all. Acts as a good filter!

Well, it's your choice not to read them. Equally, it's their choice not to meet you if they don't feel you match what they want.

What's the problem?

If you're not the type who would be interested enough, or serious enough to read my profile, then you're not likely to be someone that I'd want to meet!

If you can't be bothered, then just pass by, but don't waste time moaning about it...

If we are interested in meeting them then yes, if not then why bother simple really.

Look at the photos, check the "Looking For" section if we can tick all the boxes then back to the top and read the whole thing just to make sure there is nothing which might rule us out or put us off.

Too true!

If certain people worked out that the female mind needs turning on first, perhaps they'd get more meets.

And so this goes on!

Could one reason be the ratio? 500 men to 1 woman. That is why we almost never see threads like these by women

It makes more sense to me for someone to take 3 minutes to read what someone is looking for.. Or see if that person is what they are looking for... Rather then play ping pong messages trying to establish it.... Surely? X

Ditto...... Oh, and why would I be interested in someone who hasn't got the staying power to read a longer profile? This little sport requires cerebral effort as much, if not more, as the physical aspects.

If someone likes you enough to want to get in your knickers they'll do or say anything you want to hear including skipping most of the stories and find the heading you've asked for.

It ain't no rocket science to work out the rest.

Are there better ways to filter.

Some people like to write long profiles: some are interesting, some are not.

Some like to read them, some don't.

Some like to write short profiles; some like them, some don't.

It's up to people how they use the site.

Personally I like a profile with something interesting, long or short, if it catches my eye;

Not long ago I read a fantastic profile; quite long, but intelligent, very witty, very intruiging; and it gave me the opportunity to write an interesting message that referred to it.

The lady turned out to be one of the most intelligent, interesting and intruiging ( and sexy) women I have met in a long time.

A good profile gives a guy a chance to make his own " opening message" interesting.

I think you're mistaking me - and a lot of the women here - for idiots.

I can tell when someone has read my profile. And can tell when they've fired a desperate message across.

Good point, I guess that is why women expect men to make effort to stand out.

Definitely this.....often get an initial message which makes a reference to the profile...great...continues by asking a question...."it's in our profile", comes the response....then another question "also in the profile"...losing interest now.

"Why do people think they need to tell all their life stories on their profiles.

"
. How long does it take to read a profile that is lengthy . ? Probably about two minutes maximum.

If someone cannot be bothered to write a detailed and informed profile , I assume that they are fakes . There are plenty of good well written profiles to choose from without having to consider those who cannot make the effort to write a decent one .

My is lengthy because I prefer members to know exactly the type of person that I am and whether I am likely to fulfill their criteria for a meet .

If someone cannot be bothered to read a profile , do they really want to meet anyone anyway or do they just live in a fantasy world . ?

I have lots of interests outside fab and prefer to use my profile as an effective marketing tool.

If it was only a line stating that I will fill it in later. I do not think it would be of interest to anyone .

My profile is long and hopefully entertaining.

As a single man, I need to stand out and 'sell' myself.

If I read a profile with no effort put in, either the writer is lazy, or gets so many messages they don't need to try. Neither encourages me to write, though I might wink.

I also struggle to understand how people with a three or four like profile and no pictures thing they'll progress on this site.

or... why people who've been on the site for just a few weeks and had no success at all feel qualified to educate the more successful folk on how best to operate their profiles ?

But that's just me.

In a similar vein, I remember being disappointed to discover that it wasn't a particularly long way to Tipperary. Not only is Inverness further, but Ryan Air do really cheap flights to Shannon, so you can be there in no time at all.

I can't say we read all of them, sometimes we don't need to, but I do find it easier to work out if we'll gel with someone who has a longer profile. It saves a lot of to-and-froing via pm.

And could you imagine the frustration when one discovers that they're the sort of person who finds foreplay a bit long and bothersome too...

You appear to have had no meets. I wonder if there's any correlation between reading profiles and success ?

"What's the problem?

If you're not the type who would be interested enough, or serious enough to read my profile, then you're not likely to be someone that I'd want to meet!

If you can't be bothered, then just pass by, but don't waste time moaning about it...

I do read profiles. I sometimes just get bored if it goes on and on. I don't think there's a correlation between reading them and getting successful meets. Not necessarily as I've only just joined 3 weeks and I've had interesting chats.

I've actually had I meet which turned out to be more words than action and had to block rather than verify.

South Wales, will travel to Hereford, Worcestershire and Shropshire

If we are looking to meet some one we do read the whole profile and all the Verie's...

Although we are less interested in the pictures we have a peek at the ones on their profile. We are not at all interested in face pictures...

So the text in people's profile is of interest to us.

"Imagine the success rate of users who refuse to read comprehensively -

'Hi. Your profile somewhat interested me. I read some of it. Fancy a fuck?'"

This is pretty much what I get in my inbox the majority of the time. Means I can just fly through deleting it all.

Aside from being hot, having a lengthy profile himself - the guy I'm meeting off here tomorrow was only one of two that day who'd obviously read mine.

Tbh I don't worry too much if people haven't read all mine Hun. It's there for a giggle more than anything else! I meet very little off fab anyway and I'm a fussy bugger - even if they can recite my profile word for word it won't get them a meet if I don't find them attractive (like every other woman I guess) so it's there to amuse really!

I think it's pointless to constantly add to the dos and don'ts in a profile just because a message has been received that has annoyed the profile owner.

If we all added an extra warning to our profiles to stop the naff messages we can receive, then the server wouldn't cope with the strain.

I don't have a long span of attention. I can read a couple of lines or a short paragraph and know I want to chat to a person. I'm not an imbecile and I'm fairly intelligent; I don't need a whole book to know I want to talk to someone. The blurb can be enough for me.

^ all this (which is too long to read)...

If you can't keep it simple, positive and to fit on a computer screen, it's extraneous

I've seen so many profiles that are all demands and reasons they block someone,usually women or couples profiles.

Ha, had to laugh at this as I'm definitely guilty!

Still, it's for my own amusement most of the time and doesn't seem to put off the right kind of people I want to meet.

Same here and I'll never bother to ask for pics of none are visible. Not sure who would either.

If someone has bothered to invest their efforts into a longer profile then it can be a goldmine for you. It seems short sighted to not read and re_iew it.

You meet for a social or sexual encounter and it may be wasted time - if only you'd spent a couple more minutes reading and reflecting on what was handed to you on a plate via the profile.

i love a long profile it acts as a good ice breaker for that first message, and when it come to the messages you receive it acts as is a good filter

10 paragraphs on a profile cannot tell me everything I want to know about a person. One paragraph can make me want to find out.

This is exactly how I feel. If someone cannot be bothered to read then we're not compatible.

Your kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't, you want to have enough information on it to attract the kind of people your looking for and to eliminate some of the bs messages but if you put too much then no one bothers to read it! I personally won't message someone without reading their entire profile but I think I'm in the minority

Capture my mind and you'll get my interest . If you clearly not read a word you get the same effort you put in back from me .My profile so I'll use it way I wish ,if it doesn't work then I'd change it .But as said by others it works as great filter so leaving as is !

My profile is long and I couldn't give a monkeys if someone I don't know doesn't like it!! I've been on here six years and added to it now and again, If someone can't be bothered to read it or take the time to find out what I'm looking for the chances are they are not the kind of person I want to meet anyway. Too many men assume because I am on fab that I'm gagging for sex with anyone and sat waiting, dressed in lingerie, car keys in hand just awaiting their "fancy a fuck" message..... if my profile puts those kind of people off then

After I started this debate; I've started reading profiles. Interesting. You get to have a good idea of what the person wants and can tell if it matches yours so you can eliminate and sift straightaway. Some are just funny.

Thanks guys for your contributions even if you still differ.

Happy swinging all.
