I have seen all manner of profiles while I've been a patron of Fab:
Simple to the point
Funny ones
Ranty ones
Descriptive ones
Monologues
War& Peace novellas
I just saw one that said 'not interested if I don't see anything in your profile WORTH WHILE'.
That got me thinking - how does anyone decide what they put in their profile is worth while as everyone has different expectations.
What would be yours when looking at a profile....? |

We look at profiles to be similar to ours. We hope ours represents us accurately as a couple and gives a reasonable description of what we're looking for. PDx |

I possibly go about profiles in a backwards way. I first look to see if there is a detail that makes me say nope at them. That happens a lot.
Outside of that I don't have anything specific I look for. I either like the profile or I don't. I'll message if I do or hotlist them.
I generally like a well written profile with a set of pics that show everything and not just the same thing 100 times. The more detail on who they are in the bio the better. And I love a bit of humour in a bio. |

Something to grab my attention. Could be visually as a profile pic or header or something funny, sarcastic, wise in text but genuinely unique 
Profiles are easy though, it's the follow-up and living the talk that counts   |

Well then my profile might be right up your street (except the photos. They're not my best work, lol) |

I like to read something that tells me a bit about the people and what they'd like from a meet.
There are all sorts of clues too in what else is written or not written!
After that, it'a scroll through the photos to see if I find them attractive and they do the things that appeal to me.
If there are veris and friends lists, I might have a browse through them as a way of checking the veracity of the account.
Last but not least, where they are!

There and to the left a bit |
Thing is, one person's "worth while" will be another's "not worthy" so it's pointless trying to fit to other people's expectations and far better to be true to yourself and put what you consider to be worth while, whilst accepting that some will be drawn to you and others won't.
Of course there are some generic pitfalls to avoid like one liners or offensive statements but at a more granular level it has to come from the individual and reflect them.
Personally my approach to Fab has always meant that I don't often read profiles of others until after I've already had a level of interaction with them via the forums and unless there was something really off-putting in one they're unlikely to have a great deal of influence either way. |

I've been told my profile is to long and not exciting. My profile is to give a small picture of me and my likes and dislikes. We are all are different and we will all see profiles in a different light. Those who don't enjoy my profile won't enjoy me! |

I try to message profiles that don’t come across stuck up and appealing to my interests.
I tried hard to work on my profile but I’ve yet to crack the secret formula that gets replies that one day might lead to a meeting. |
