We would hope that everyone who contacts us would have shown the respect of reading our profile/bio first.
Why bother us if we have no shared interests?? |

Although im not fond of them, i read those ones especially just to prove that not all men here lead in without having a look first.
I suggest you do the same, you might discover some interesting conversation starters or other useful information for your up coming encounter. |

We always read them, it may tell us exactly what they are looking for and if it may rule us out so we don't have to send them a message.
If you a genuinely interested in someone's pic that draws you in then at least have a read of what they have taken time to write. After all you may get a shape response if you message them and there bio explains that you aren't what there looking for  |

I read the bio, always, and hope in turn that people read mine. There is a person behind every bio, and that's who I'd meet, not a photo.
The bio should tell me a lot about the person. That can make me decide I want to take the time to message them, or it might make me decide not to. They might be looking for a specific that's not me, or enjoy things I don't, or have interests with which I'm not compatible.
Why would you NOT read a bio? Save yourself a bit of time read. |

"Probably not.
Plenty of people can't even read my profile 
Just checked yours , that’s funny "
My favourite is the copy pasta messages that say "oh I really loved reading your profile it's really good" and my response is always "which bit's really good?" |

Jackpot.
Imagine tho fool you'd make of yourself if you turned up for a meet and personally only practised safe sex, not realising the person you were meeting only went bareback. They assumed you knew coz they'd clearly stated it in their bio.

"All that reading and what happens if they send you a face picture and you think no thanks. What a waste of time. "
It's hardly a huge chunk out of your life is it
OP it's pretty simple. If you dont like long bios then pass them by for those that you do like, and let those of us who do have lengthy bios run our profiles however we see fit. The length of someone's bio will have no effect on you whatsoever. |

I hear that. The ones with a lot of CAPS LOCK really make me feel like the user is angry and frustrated and even if we were a match made in heaven they wouldn't want to know about it lol
I usually avoid those ones, but the rest, like i said, i make it my business to read them to the last letter.
And a final one, some of the ones that claim men dont read profiles, even if im not interested, i let them know that i read it |

I guess OP it's boiling down to something as simple as this. If someone is just wanting to be a rutting animal looking for any old hole to bury their cock in and cum ? with no real social interaction before or afterwards maybe? then reading long profiles is probably seen as just wasting good valuable shagging time! 
Personally, I like to read a well written and thought through profile. It tells you so much about someone. Not just who they but why you would actually want to meet them. You can tell a great deal about someone simply by the way, the write and express themselves. I do generally only chat to or approach people who have stimulated my grey matter as well as anything else. It's important to me that people have taken the time to tell me something about themselves and we share at least some interests.
To be fair everyone's entitled to their own opinion of course! |

I'm really curious as to how you drew that conclusion...
...but I'll go with it. So I find a profile of a stunning lady. Pure drop dead gorgeous. I immediately send a message. Nothing...
...but a read of her profile would have told me she wants a guy with 10", over six foot, long hair and black. Could have saved myself some time.
Aside from which attraction is based on many things.

My apologies. I thought you were referring to "all that reading" in relation to reading a profile, not after chatting to someone at length. |

I think peoples bios are so important if they live close enough that a meeting is possible. Knowing their interests are as important as how much physical attraction is there...i almost met this lady one time only to find out she hated oral sex...giving and receiving...i simply love giving so what a bad sex meet if i hadnt discovered it in chat.... |

But a read of their profile might give you a clue as to wether or not they may be attracted to you in turn, before you message them. Or are your connections based solely on looks and looks alone? |

All I’m saying is you can have a profile that’s a thousand words and one that’s a few words. But at the end of the day if there is no facial attraction from either party it counts for nothing.
I read profiles. But how many words they have on a profile is noting to do with if I find them attractive or not. |

Like the majority I’d imagine looks are a main part of a person I’m looking to meet. But I wouldn’t meet a arsehole. So I look for both aspects in a potential meet not just one. |

Of course. But surely the profile is the starting point to see if you even might be compatible in the first place? |

Tada!
And if you read the profile, perhaps you may find an incompatibility, a red flag, a demand or interest that doesn't sit with you, a requirement you don't meet or... something that suggests they are an arsehole (the definition of which is up to you)? |

Mine is kind of long, but works for me as I can immediately tell when someone hasn't read it.
Then I don't feel bad just deleting their message.
If its too long, then you're prob not compatible with that person anyways. |

I like reading profiles. They give a good insight into who is telling you about themselves. They needn't be long profiles either. I read one today that contained one line and it gave a good sense of how you could start a conversation with her. |

The alternative would be for everyone to write ‘just ask’ and add a couple of pictures. Then when your message is instantly deleted, the moan would be how do I know if they would be interested in me, if they haven’t written anything down.
Long profile and you can’t be bothered reading ignore them, mine isn’t too difficult to read and broken down in to categories. But still nobody reads it  |

I like reading long profiles (except when there is a lot of shouting going on) as I like to imagine the person, what makes them tick.
To me Fabs is, and always has been, at least as much about connecting with people as to to have intimate playtimes. But that is probably because I cannot do cold sex, I need to "get" the person a bit and have stuff to talk about.
Others may think differently. |

I've never found a profile that has taken more than 2 minutes to read so what on earth is the problem with reading it if you've decided you like the look of the person from their profile pictures?
I can tell who hasn't read mine from the first few lines of their message and when I can see that then im not going to bother reading the rest of that message.
Quite often the ones who can't be arsed to read your profile only manage to write a 2 line message anyway so its easy to filter out those who my mind won't connect with anyway.
Simply put, if you dont connect in some way with my mind then my body isn't ever going to connect with yours. |

Our profile takes like 1 minute or more to read. Its concise and leaves people knowing if we would be interested in them, before they waste both of our time with bullshit messages. If you cant be arsed reading it, we cant be arsed with you. Delete and block.
It certainly isnt the longest we've seen. But profile text is the first thing we go to when someone messages. So if we have taken the time to read someones. It's a common courtesy for them to have done the same.

What a long profile bio though??? More than 4 lines?
Mine is a bit of a read but I wouldn’t class it as being too long?
The purpose of it is so you can find a match in others. Short profiles or someone who puts no effort into their bio usually puts me off |

I'm the same. I'll read a couple of paragraphs but that's all. I've got better things to do than spend ages reading.

If I bio is like war and peace we don’t even bother. Prefer quick and informative bios that get to the point. If we don’t read it we won’t message though as people with overly long profiles probably won’t match what we are looking for anyway.

well if people did bother to read them it tells you a lot about the person/couple and what they wish for. So many men get fed up with there messages being deleted without a reply and think people are being rude but if they only did a little homework first it would save both themselves and the receivers so much time. |

To be honest, my bio is like the fab version of War and Peace, but I do put as a header, it's a long read. Personally I don't give a monkeys puckered hoop if people read it or not, it's there, it's mine and I'm copywrighting that shit! |

I actually like reading people’s bio’s on Fab....
There was a lady that used to post in the forums that had the longest bio in the history of Fab...
I took it as a personal challenge to finish reading it....
After about 20 minutes, all I remembered was that she liked to play chess...., |

I could very, very easily have written a 10,000-word bio.
Since I am a man on Fab, however, I kept it under 300. Dick is abundant and of low value.
Something worth remembering: The average British reading age is 9 years old. Fully half the British population has a lower reading ability than that expected of a nine-year-old child.
The Sun has a reading age of 8; that’s why it’s so successful. The Guardian has a reading age of 14, which is why it’s seen as a “pretentious lefty rag” or whatever.
If you have a long profile, some people aren’t going to read it. A considerable number of them *can’t*.

"To be honest, my bio is like the fab version of War and Peace, but I do put as a header, it's a long read. Personally I don't give a monkeys puckered hoop if people read it or not, it's there, it's mine and I'm copywrighting that shit! "

Why would you not read someone's bio if you are going to messege them?
I can't stand those dead short ones.
I'd much rather learn something about the person. |

Personally I always read profiles because:
1. Someone made the effort to write it so I'll show respect and read it
2. How do you know you're interested in someone without a bit of knowlege?
I'd just conclude that you can't be bothered and that you're just trying to fuck anything on the site.

"I could very, very easily have written a 10,000-word bio.
Since I am a man on Fab, however, I kept it under 300. Dick is abundant and of low value.
Something worth remembering: The average British reading age is 9 years old. Fully half the British population has a lower reading ability than that expected of a nine-year-old child.
The Sun has a reading age of 8; that’s why it’s so successful. The Guardian has a reading age of 14, which is why it’s seen as a “pretentious lefty rag” or whatever.
If you have a long profile, some people aren’t going to read it. A considerable number of them *can’t*.
"
To us, it is quite simple.
Whoever hasn't read our profile before contacting us for whatever reason that might be, we have no interest in them.
It is simply called good manners. |

We have a long profile which we have tried to keep amusing in some parts. This is to try and keep people interested and not get bored. It's also who we are so when guys actually read it, and you can tell from the message they've sent, they aren't immediately deleted.
Moral of the story, you might actually get somewhere if you bother to read the profile. |

Nobody forces you to read them, however I am unlikely to respondto people if they obviously haven't glanced at or read mine.
You get out what you put in and it requires effort. I doubt anyone will want to just fuck and go, I certainly wouldn't
And yup my profile is six paragraphs at least, want to smash it and get to eight  |

I don't read them any more and haven't for some time but then I've never really gone down the "hunt for profiles I like the look of, blindly send them a message" route favoured by so many - I tend to strike up conversations via the forums and if, as a result of their posts/messages etc, I like someone sufficiently to think I might be interested in meeting them, then I'll read their profile in full. |

My bio is reeeeeeeeeeallly long. I don’t expect anyone to read it before they message me though - but I’d strongly suggest they read it before we meet.
Not only does it describe in glorious technicolour just how hideous my body is when naked - it let’s them know that I’m a wee bit bonkers, and helps them estimate their chances of surviving sex with me!

I think bio’s are a ongoing thing for most of us with regards to improving them.Mine is basically 14 short sentences which basically looks / reads like a CV although not looking for a job I am looking to meet someone which is why I have formatted it this way.My thinking is that someone will hopefully see 2-3 sentences they like and hopefully make contact the same way a employer may contact a candidate looking for a job.Personally I have no problems reading a long bio as some people maybe looking for someone or something specific. |

"Probably not.
Plenty of people can't even read my profile
Just checked yours , that’s funny
My favourite is the copy pasta messages that say "oh I really loved reading your profile it's really good" and my response is always "which bit's really good?" "
Before we blocked them we’d get “Love your profile, fancy a chat or meet”.
From single guys a group we have never had on our interested in list.
As someone else has said
Don’t read it then, but don’t message them either as you are unlikely to get on.

For me, my profile is kind of more what I’m not looking for than what I am looking for. That might seem negative or the wrong way round, but what I mean is there are certain things that I don’t want under any circumstances, so if the reader wants those things or behaves in those ways, they should know after reading it that we won’t be compatible. That’s easier than trying to say what I do want, because I don’t have a checklist of how people have to look - no requirements about height, body type, dick size, race, facial hair or any of the things people often list. I don’t exactly have a type and my approach is more “I’ll know when I see a photo”. |

I enjoy reading bio's and getting a feel for some people. But if they're not laced with humour, some bio's are definately too long.
I'll often look at some profiles and think, "oh, that's a good length blurb" then realise that 2 thirds of it is the Sydney university warning |

Deffo.
Huge lists of do's and dont's
Just evidence of head up own arse syndrome.
That said, if there was such a profile in striking distance I'd give it a go.

Exactly my thoughts, read my profile, if you match ny requirements and still want to meet me then please contact me, the amount of guys who dont read it and message me to meet, and I immediately see they do bareback, I reply saying thanks but no thanks and reason why, then block them, either 2 things, they can't be bothered to read, or they don't respect my wishes. |

My profile is long but it's long for a reason. I delete so many messages without replying or even opening them somthimes because it's so obvious they haven't bothered to read it.
If you can't spend 5 minutes reading my profile to see if we're compatible, then you aren't likely to put in the effort where it counts either. So you wouldn't be the kind of person I'd want to meet anyway. |

I suppose it depends on what is considered long?
I think ours is pretty decent, It tries to be somewhat funny to give people an idea about us with some likes/dislikes etc..
I mean, if somebody can't take 2/3 mins to read a profile about a couple, how much interest are they going to take in actually making things a good experience for all involved? if 2/3 mins of your time can't be given.. damn skippy we won't be giving over anything xD |

Always! And because I'm considerate, and you never know when you'll need spare paper to jot things down on, the last 7 pages of mine are blank....
But my bio is long. Probably too long and wordy, especially for a man's, but it's mine and is personal to me. Besides, I'm wordy in real life, too.
I'm sure it would put some people off, but it's also led to some pretty interesting conversations so it's horses for courses, really |

Bios are there to be read. I do appreciate the issue of overly long bios, however if I get bored half way through then its obvious to me we wouldn't be a good match.
If I keep on until the end of the bio then the hope is I learn if there would be some mutual attraction to avoid wasting our collective time. Its what I would hope/expect people do with our bio. |

We have a long bio simply to let people know exactly what we are looking for, and what each of our general preferences are.
If people choose not to read it then that's fine, simply pass on by.
If they send a message and clearly haven't bothered then why should we take the time to enter into general chit chat, or invite someone into our private life? |

My bio is a bit wordy, but I'd like to think it gives the reader an idea of what I'm like.
Visuals are one thing and for some, all that matters. I'm unlikely to be competiive in that contest, and happy for those for whom it is the single deciding factor to pass me by.
I think for those who like a bit more depth, my profile gives them an insight, and help decide if they want to send a message. |

Yes, if I'm going to message them.
They let you know who the person is and what they are after.
Why waste your and their time messaging if it's clear from the profile that you are not compatible? |

Why wouldn’t you read a profile?? That 1 min of reading my profile shows you are willing to take the time to read it, so I’ll take a min out of my time to read your message and reply.
What really gets me is where people say they’ve read it, and you get a message from Bob, 62 from Orkney saying he would love to meet and happy to travel.....
it truly baffles me why someone hundreds of miles from someone they Are messaging would even bother in the first place? |
