No if It’s too long then I don’t bother reading it. And if they have that stupid Sydney University rubbish which isn’t even legal then I definitely don’t reply.

I don't mind long winded profiles so long as they give appropriate information.

I prefer them to those that give lists of what not to do. Can't be bothered with the supposed legal stuff at the end either.

If you can’t be bothered to read my long winded profile and see what I may be looking for or what I may be interested in offering someone.

Then I am not interested in replying to a message or giving someone else a happy ending. And definitely not dropping my non existent knickers for someone.

I wouldn’t probably class someone is interested if they’re not looking at a whole profile, why wouldn’t they? Unless they’ve already made their minds up by pictures or description etc? If someone is looking at a lot of profiles they’re not individually interested I would half suggest...

It’s hardly 15 pages of algebra and codes to decipher.

I would not message someone without reading their profile and make sure that tick the boxes that they want ticked. I'll check out the pictures then go through the blurb.

But paragraphs and paragraphs? Naa. I lose interest and click off to find one that interests me.

But I get it. A long essay is probably meant to filter out people like me who is just looking to get laid, and on that count it works pretty well.

Always read profiles. Saves messaging and finding out that we wouldn't be right for each other. It's the profiles that have a huge bio and it's all the Sydney bollocks etc and nothing about them. Folks that have any disclaimer really need to give their heads a wobble because you aren't going to rock up in court and argue your case. How do you get the details of anyone who used your pics?

We don’t mind long profiles as ours isn’t the shortest although we still get winks & messages most days from couples & you pop off to look at their profiles & nine times out of ten it’ll say “We do not meet separately so don’t ask”

Well fair enough we won’t, but if they’d only checked our “Looking for” they wouldn’t have winked/messaged in the bloody first place!

Well I thought it was a great read, even though we wouldn’t be a match (isn’t that the point of a profile though, to see if you might be a match?) but I did enjoy reading it.

And that's the way to approach it. Seek out those that match you're profile as best as you think and take no offence in a turn down, we've had our fair share, there really is someone for everyone one here, I think.

Ours is quite lengthy but we believe it gives you a clear insight into who we are and what we’re about. Profiles to us are a lot like adverts to privately sell something (ie yourself). Imagine trying to sell a car on Auto Trader without any photos or just a description stating you need a quick sale. How many people will pass it by?

Details show us that you’ve taken some pride and made the effort. Short profiles with little or no details just scream laziness and entitlement to us. This just reflects somebody we really wouldn’t want to meet.

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

I don't see mine as long winded but people have said they couldn't be bothered to read it so it's broken into easy to read sections for people with short attention spans.

I'm more interested in what people have to say rather than pictures and there's one person on this thread that read my profile and we are building up to our first meet, as and when we are allowed, and based on our interactions so far it's going to be memorable.

I can't believe I'm reading half these comments.

Surely people know how to skim read?

Also, it's not just the written content that will attract. If the pictures are a no go, likewise the location, the preferences, etc. why take it further?

However, if most things look good, surely a comprehensive profile text can only be beneficial?

Too many of the profiles have the same clichéd content. It's almost like a cut and paste Fab profile template exists somewhere. After a while everyone of these profile because snow blindness where everyone is uniquely different that they are all the same.

I read a few paragraph profiles where they are human and there's something to relate to. If it's another cut and paste.......bugger that. Make me think there a Russian bot account looking for phishing or promoting an Only Fans pag

Mine actually states only read the bit about you, so single guys, TV’s, couples and women, each have a paragraph. The last bit is about what I’m interested in and some fantasies.

It’ll take about 3 minutes to read and I always reply to anyone who’s obviously read it.

So why do I always get the ‘meeting now’ or sexy pictures messages

Long profiles should help you to know pretty much if you are on the same page..

I prefer a long-winded profile text to a couple of lines. I tend to think that if someone can’t put a bit of effort into their profile then they probably won’t make much effort or have much imagination when it comes to play. However, some profiles are a yawn-fest.

I have read some really great and interesting profiles on here that really give me an insight into their personality/ ies. Some are just total bulls**t though. Just as in the real world, there’s all different types of folks. Pick the ones that interest you.

"The longer the profile the bigger the ego

Agree, I always move on as it’s over selling? Why? Trying too hard"

Interesting point of view. In your opinion how long should a profile be? What should it contain and how prescriptive should the composer be in “selling” themselves?

I have read profiles that are expansive and very detailed which I think are very useful in making a decision on whether to initiate contact. Equally there some who are sparse in their descriptions and there are some that are somewhat direct and to the point.

One recent publication had three sentences that were poorly crafted but followed by four paragraphs of legal disclaimers and warnings which were centred around Antipodean educational establishments and other well known social media platforms.

So the perfect profile is, in my humble opinion

Three paragraphs long.

The narrative should convey something about the composer in terms of their persona.

A clear intention on what the person(s) seek or what is not sought.

Some indication of any specific or special requirements.

Pictures are of course helpful but the need for discretion and privacy does take precedent.

Finally I think reasonable levels of spelling, grammar and punctuation are extremely helpful.

Of course some may say this reply is to long and panders to an ego, but I could not possibly comment.

"If you can’t be arsed to read our profile we can’t be arsed to talk to you!

Yep!"

Yep x two!

The “can’t be bothered to read” attitude is EXACTLY why we have a somewhat long profile. Helps filter out the chancers, dreamers, fakes and timewasters.

In the vanilla world you wouldn’t expect a fuck within a minute of meeting. You’d at least but a drink and have a chat, you know, put a bit of effort in!

I sometimes scan read a profile if it’s super long. I have one of those odd traits where I see stuff in blocks and can just pick out key / buzz words / patterns , can usually grasp the core of the text this way and if it’s worth sending message or not .

Exactly!

If you fancy someone (checked out pics) then you are going to put in a bit of effort because, quite frankly, you want to fuck them!

Same in a bar. See someone you fancy then do you A) walk over and say “fancy a fuck” (might work 1 in 100 times I suppose) or B) Chat to them, find out a little bit, buy a drink!

Amazes me how some people on here think different rules apply in the swinging/casual sex world. We are swingers not prostitutes so a bit of effort goes a long way!

There have been a few comments about long profiles “trying too hard” or “overselling”, so I wanted to give my point of view as someone with a long profile.

I’m not trying to sell myself, and I’m not desperate, so I’m not “trying too hard”. The only thing I’m trying to do is out incompatible people. I’m not “selling myself”, I’m just saying this is what I want, this is what I don’t want, this is a bit about me. People can decide for themselves if the wants, don’t wants, and me match up with what they’re after. If I was selling myself or trying too hard, my profile would basically say “I’m into whatever you’re into and I’ll compromise on anything just to get laid”, but that’s not what I want from Fab.

There’s also a difference between being egotistical and having a sense of self-worth. I’m not willing to compromise on things that matter to me, but that doesn’t mean I’m egotistical.

It was a concise way of saying if you're just here for sex then don't read the bio, message anyway you’ll either get a response or you wont. Thats the OP’s point hes just here for sex so long profile bios are not worth his time to read. If you're here for a fwb situation or regular meets or club buddies, anything that requires you to see people as people first and not just sex suppliers then read the profile bio see if there is compatibility. If a man had written what i put likely he would have been bawled out but it is how a fair few men think/behave on here.

I read every word to make sure I fit in to all their yes & no’s, then I look for something I have in common to use as a conversation starter before checking for a ‘put ***** in the subject line”. Then I add a face pic to be polite.

Then my message stays ‘unread’ despite them being online several times.

I’m used to it now, one day I may get a golden ticket but for now the forums can be fun

Mine is long. Ego? I don't believe so. Overselling? I don't believe that either.

Straight up truth from where I sit and who I am? Yes.

Yeap. I agree with you. I by no means have a big ego or am over selling myself. I just see it as a way to let people see what I'm about and what I like and dislike, saves everyone's time!

They say you can sum someone up in the first minute of meeting them

It also amuses me the people who are defending long winded profiles have given long winded responses on here lmfao

I would read up to the point where I realise we aren't compatible.

No point reading after that.

Maybe he's like myself and most single guys on here, has put in a huge amount of effort for two word replies, ghosting, being blocked, user leaves site unannounced or his initial messages are ignored or deleted. It's hopeless and tiring. Then folk complain initial messages are too short or no face pic attached when they have no pics at all on their profile. It's a minefield lottery, was bad enough when I had a couples profile but as a single guy ?, it's a joke

. For what it's worth, yes I read the whole profile..

I read profiles to get a feel for the person & establish whether we are likely to be compatible. If it seems we are looking for the same things, & their personality portrayed in the profile is appealing, then I will message & chat to see if my initial reaction to the profile is right and if there's any sort of connection. If the conversation goes well then I would arrange a social meet to see if the attraction is still there face to face. If it is it may lead to more.

If they have virtually nothing on their profile then I'm very unlikely to enter into a conversation with them let alone anything else.

Just as I wouldn't ask a total stranger on the street to babysit my children, I won't entrust my physical & emotional safety to someone I don't actually like or I know nothing about.

Not at all. Your profile is your shop window. Ours doesn`t `Big Us Up` - on the contrary,- but it does tell you a lot about us. Not a long list of demands, stipulations or requirements. Just who we are and what we`re looking for, and hopefully a little bit amusing.

Our profile even makes our head hurt ? but 99.5 won't ever read it though so we are quite happy with the 00.05% that do as they must be as mad as us ...the pen is mighty than the sword ...
