"Oh and in answer to the OP - you don't necessarily (unless they say something obvious that is either included or specifically excluded by your profile) but if it's someone you're exchanging messages with you get a "feel" for it anyway" Good point. I agree. I really think profile text is pointless anymore though. People look at pics. | |||

I agree. I really think profile text is pointless anymore though. People look at pics. " I wouldn't say it's totally pointless - I always read someone's profile text fully before I initially start chatting to them and decide if I think they are someone I'd like to talk to off the back of it - but once you've established a connection and are chatting it becomes less important, although still relevant and a good point of reference | |||

No matter what my profile says, the same people say they're looking for the same. Apart from my current one. | |||

"I know people read my profile because they tell me it's long and laborious. It's a page about "me" and I've added to it over time. If people can't be arsed to read my bio, then I can't be bothered to communicate with them. Read it, don't read it, I'm simply not bothered. " This completely Horses for courses and all that - I've had people tell me mine is too long and have had people tell me it's very well written and nicely detailed. The ONLY person that needs to be completely happy with a profile is it's owner and I'm pretty much happy with mine - if others like it then great - if they don't then no skin off my nose | |||

"How do you know that people have read them?" You just assume they haven't unless they actually tell you they did... like when they tell you they just had to mail you to say yours was the most arrogant/conceited/boring profile they'd ever read and they regretted the waste of their precious time.... To which I reply: 'Hope you've at least had an egg on to boil while you took the additional time to mail me and read this reply then' But in general most first messages from people are based on pics... Not profile text. Such is the shallow nature of Fab | |||

"and then you get a message from them "thankyou for your lenghty reply looooool" I wrote to a couple once who had said ‘one liners and winks will be deleted’ - so I wrote a reasonably long personalised and respectful / polite email that demonstrated that I had read their profile. Their reply? “If we wanted to read an essay we’d have bought a fu*king book. Cu*t!” True story! | |||

"I don't care if people don't read my profile. It's a good filter. " Agreed...ours isn’t long by comparison to some, but it gives people something to work with to construct a coherent message. If they can’t do that, we’re unlikely to be compatible. The message doesn’t have to be very long, as we appreciate short amusing ones for example. Bitch says Twat’s is short and amusing btw...she’s well-named clearly... | |||
