Don't you absolutely love it when you try to engage in some conversation only to be told to "read the profile".

The same profile that doesn't actually contain any details, just a few vague, open to interpretation lines of generic nonsense.

They usually block after you point this out but it's always fun.

Tell me I'm not alone!

Could be a small detail that you are missing, such as same interests don't match up, that they won't meet people who can't accom or they can't accom, or that they have a word to use to show you have read profile, or their profile could state that they need a bit more intellect than a basic 'hello, how are you', or with mine in particular, my profile states won't meet smokers but get countless amount of smokers messaging. The list is endless.

And as it happens continuously then alot of profiles get fed up, hence the short message and block

It's generally not like that, I do read profiles before messaging so if they ask for a word I always include it.

This latest instance was a few messages in after the generic hello blah blah blah. My attempt to develop the conversation resulted in me being directed to 3 lines in a profile that simply stated they didn't want unwarranted friend requests and not a lot else.

Baffling really but ultimately a bullet dodged, I mean can you imagine having a social with that level of interaction lol

I generally only do this

if someone sends me a cock pic - clearly states on my profile it’s unsolicited

If someone wants to meet to fuck- clearly hasn’t read that I only socialise

Asks me what I’m looking for - em it says on my profile

Asks me for a photo - em again my profile says I don’t share pics

Has a public gallery full of cock pics or pics engaging in sex with various others - again clearly states I find this distasteful in my profile

And your profile does actually state that, so absolutely no issues there at all and no excuse for not being well aware.

Generally I find most guys just look at the pictures then fire a hope this works message.

If OP they have specifically referred you to their profile then obviously it's something you have missed.

I tend to get alot of bi guys even tho it states on my profile I'm not looking to meet them..but because I can't block them with filters they just scroll past that part and hope iv not noticed the bi part on their profile before they change it to straight

That also goes for the cam veris don't count green tick..again scroll past and send a message.

My tip as always to guys is always read ALL of the profile before messaging.

I can assure you all it's nothing I have missed.

Profile stated no friend requests, short notice meets only and local men only.

That's it, nothing else so I attempted to instigate some conversation that might let both parties know a bit more about each other and I was referred back to profile.

Again though, thanks for all the assumptions being made lol

Did you ask them to specify which part and what you missed because you are confused? I think in these situations that is really the only way to know exactly what they meant.

What I get potentially get from that is 'I don't want a string of messages where you try to get to know me, I just want to meet quickly'

If you didn't want anyone to suggest what it could have been, then why bother making a post?

I didn't want people to completely ignore what I typed out, which seems to be what you have missed but thanks for the input, really appreciate it lol

For the umpteenth time now, this particular profile in question was very vague and genetic (see above for details) so once the formalities where over I attempted to develop the conversation and was then directed to the very vague and generic profile narrative (a full 3 likes of text).

When I pointed out the 3 lines of generic crap didn't really correspond to anything I tried to engage them in conversation with I was blocked.

Nothing to do with interests, or their profile specifics. Just an idiotic couple with clear and obvious social interaction issues. I simply wondered if it was me who continually encounters these vegetables or maybe it could be a more widespread issue.

Anyway, that's more than enough........and no..... again...... nothing to do with bloody interests.

Get what everyone saying about folk not reading profiles but what the OPs saying is he read the profile and and there wasnt in his opinion anything there too read eg 3 lines of dont send a friend request which i assume he didnt…

Any way move on op…

They obviously had something on there that you missed… eg age range or they cant accom

Might not of been spelt out in the profile but would of been on there some where eg

I cant accom and dont tend to speak with folk that cant accom or not willing to share hotel cost etc but its not on my profile its just a statement that i through into chattting a while but i do tell folk couples that havent read my profile about accom to please read and when they get snippy which some have i block because its not worth the back lash or hassle from some one thats not read the profile and just thinks there right which kinda sound like your coming across as. Just move on and “read the profile fully not just the paragraph at the bottom next time” lol

This

I suspect it was your reply to their generic, as you put it, 3 lines that got you the block.

I'm slightly perplexed now as to the point of the thread.

So you didn't match up with them, they didn't want to waste anymore time with you and blocked and are being slated for it? Idiots and "vegetables" because there was something you clearly missed no matter how many times you say you didn't miss anything. For them to divert you back to their profile there was something.

Can’t really put it down to numbers so I’ll say most as in maybe 1/20 read ours.

Gets tiring the same old messages’hi how are you’ from a blank profiles.

Got to the stage we used a buzz word and just delete without opening.
