FabSwingers.com forum: Do people read profiles these days?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

When I 1st joined I was naive about this place, what to expect etc however through experience I’ve learned what I like and don’t like hence my profile bio ( don’t all rush to read it now). Done may think it’s long winded, a bit direct however I think it helps keep the messages to the more genuine guys. Where she going with this I hear you ask?

Well my favourite line to guys who have clearly not read my profile and send the “ meet now” type message is to reply

“ I can’t as I’m busy teaching adults to read English” some believe this is actually true and try and converse with me until they realise I’m mocking them.

There are a few of us who read a profile.

Shame about the few who spoil it for the rest.

Some do some don't I always do but as the chap above says men are the ones least likley to read a profile as they are in that much of a rush to paste a message and move onto the next profile.

Seem to be they see a pic they like then straight to message.

You actually take time to mock them? Lucky them..

The only time they get from me is 5 second window when I block and delete.

I love to find a guy who tries to have a decent profile, unfortunately that is very few who actually bother!

Mine? If it ever gets read, it's becomes completely ignored, so I would say maybe 5% read and respects it, judging by who repeatedly look but never message, it does piss you off to start with, but then you just learn to ignore, you can't beat ignorance

I totally agree that’s why I’ve now put a header request in the middle of my profile. Been called a sneaky bitch once or twice but helps me find the ones who actually shown an interest in me rather than just my pics x

Loads of people seem to find it difficult to read. Maybe it is a lack of education, or just maybe pure laziness!

Equally it may be the "want it now" syndrome that is part of the modern world. Consequently a pic is attractive so the person in the pic must want me, so I will message them.

The fact that the person being contacted has put in their profile that the enquirer is a type in whom they are not interested is totally missed!

The site is full of single profiles of people cheating on wives and husbands and people are shocked that most dont read profiles.

A lot of people dont care what is written in a profile they only want sex.

I have noticed a rise in statuses exclaiming the pure frustration of someone not reading a profile, I don't really understand why it's so hard to actually read, and understand a little something about the person you intend to message

I read them because it gives me an idea of whether I would get on with that person, so the more text to better for me.

Also, it makes to easier to write a decent message. So I just don't get why others don't read them.

I also say in my profile that I only social and meet in clubs, but yet they still ask if I'll meet for a coffee or a hotel......

I think women read profiles more than men, I've had quite a few compliment me on my profile.

I enjoy a good profile though, I think personality is important and it's your perfect opportunity to get yours accross

I have never sent a message before reading the whole profile and that’s the truth. Plenty of women don’t read them either, I’ve had plenty of obvious cut and paste messages from women. For some reason it’s only us men who get the bad name.

I do read profiles. However many profiles are terrible. They're either very very brief, or just a long list of wants. Yes you should list your wants or requirements, but tell us about yourself! What do *you* offer?

As said above - no, most don’t.

I delete without opening as there’s no photo. It’s an easy way to filter out though so don’t mind.

I always read profiles - what’s the point of them otherwise!?

I always read profiles, and if I think I might tick a few boxes, I will send a polite, respectful message highlighting where I might fit her / thier criterion.

No luck yet though...

People dont bother reading and just chance it. We always read through the profiles.

No point wasting everyone's time if we are after different things, plus its bloody annoying when you her messages from people who clearly haven't taken the time to have a read through.

I've had a few different profiles and I had one that said "Bollox"

Same messages, same men, same old same old.

Very few people away from the forums care what you have to say.

I read profiles, and find an eight-pager nearly as offputting as a "fill in later" to be honest.

Somewhere between the two is my ideal.

It's those who say life is too short or it's too boring etc.

Dude, if you can't be bothered to read a few minutes worth of text then I would hazard a guess you'll be selfish, unthoughtful and inept in bed.

If you can't read the text how on earth will you read my body language
