FabSwingers.com forum: Do you always read a profile or just look at pictures?

By (user no longer on site) OP

For us a written profile is more important than pictures in deciding who we want to get to know more.

A very old profile, the one liner or one that tells you everything they hate in the world turns us off.

Do you actually read profiles or just look at the pictures and what makes a good profile?

Read your profile fully, then wanked over the photos

Nice pictures are important but we always read the profile.

I read the profiles to get a feel for the type of people they are & to get a first impression of whether we have things in common & are likely to get along. I also look at the photos to see if there is a physical attraction, plus I think you can tell quite a lot about people by the type of pictures they choose to display.

We both always read a profile, that's how we decide if we are compatible with others

You have too read the profile, tbh though some read like War and Peace and I eventually get fed up.

3-4 mid range paragraghs are enough

Reading the whole profile is important but it's only really a snapshot. However, it can give a good idea about the person through its content and use of language etc.

Ultimately, reading the profile is the best way of determining who might be worth chatting to to get a connection started xx

Interesting from someone who has 9 paragraphs, albeit some are rather short.

People don't read things nowadays, it's all part of the dumbing down in our civilization.

Yup, this. Flick through the pics first and if we like the look of them then we read the profile to find out whether they're looking for the likes of us.

I always view the images first, simply because I'm male and we're well known to be the more visually stimulated sex. Then I'll read the profile and look for some things, anything, that would give me artistic inspiration for an opening message. Sometimes the profile text is lacking and I have to refer back to the images for said motivation. Sometimes I spot a similar sense of humour in the text and it's easy.

That's all I find profiles good for, though - a perv, and inspiration. I'll normally know if someone is for me within 5 or so messages back and forth.

We always read the profile. Like a well written profile.

If it says ‘Will fill in later’ then we read it a couple of times to make sure we’ve captured the ambiance of the person and then block

London, Scotland & The North,

A well written profile can certainly capture ones attention and be intrigued to desire more ??

Pictures can add to this and be the icing on the cake so to speak.

Always read profiles, then look at pics, then decide if there's any interest.

I do both

Pix first because if I'm not attracted to the girl / couple then it's pointless reading the profile.

Read the profile... No point messaging someone you have no intention of ever chatting/flirting/meeting/fucking... Or who makes it blatently clear from their profile they have no intention of doing any of above with you

Both, but we always read the profile first, assuming of course the initial message has us interested.

Of course looks are important, there has to be some sense of attraction, but no matter how anyone looks, a poorly written, lazy profile is enough to put us off.

A well written profile coupled with a nice message is more likely to peak our interest than gym bod pics.

It's only occasionally I dont read a profile, but that's when it's clear it's not someone I'm looking for, or the pics put me right off.

I would never message someone without reading the profile

1, its polite..

2, I need to see if I may be compatable..

3, it pisses me off when cunts do it to me..

I do as well. if someone has taken time to actually write something, it is likely worth reading.

There has to be that spark of attraction so, for me, it is both.

As someone once said. A picture tells a thousand words. Back it up with an intelligent written text...

It will always spark my interest to approach and take it to the next stage.

I read and somtimes reread. Several times especially those who have funny somtimes off the wall entries. Pics I find are just dressing..pretty but 2d flat and cold no substute for warm skin and stimulation of all sences. So it's very important to read between the lines on the text to get a picture of whom your speaking too

Look at pics first and even if pics are great a couple of sentences that say nothing or are just filth will put us off ,won't read a long one either ,sad to say in the time we have been on here I know most don't read profiles just see a pic and take a chance and usually waste our and their time as they are straight ,you only have to read a few lines of ours to know !

Always read the profile fully first, check if age range, body type etc. is compatible, if they are looking for under 30s, gym fit, we don't bother checking out the photos no matter how good they may be, little point.

Always read the profile first, no point going any further if we're not what their looking for and vice versa.

Pics are just as important in my opinion, profile could tick all the boxes n then the pics tell you a totally different story

I might be a bit strange but I personally read the profile first....sometimes a couple of times. And I'll always ensure I'm the type thay could be looking for.

Then I'll look at the list of interests.....then check out verifications if there is any then lastly I'll look at the pics.

I'm very much a personality, attitude, and character type guy....looks do come into it a bit but that's not my main attraction to women.

Again...that's just me

Always tend to read the profile myself. Gives you a flavour of what the person is looking for and can sometimes give you starting point in the conversation you want to start with the person.

I do both but generally look at the pics first as thats usually what made me click on their profile first. If I like what I see then I read the profile in full and check likes/dislikes, age range etc before deciding whether to message or not.

Sometimes I look as they've checked me first but there usually needs to be something that draws me in. As someone said above, us men are predominantly visually stimulated when it comes to sex so an enticing pic is that hook
