Rewriting...

By *eli OP Woman over a year ago

yourself. As in your profile. What you want/are looking for.

How often do you reassess what you're wanting from the site? Are you quite fond of reflecting on it or are you content where things are currently? Do you try and stay open to things that maybe your profile doesn't reflect?

I probably need to look back at mine and re-consider to check it still represents where I'm at. I'm generally open to meeting interesting people who I might then end up having relaxed sexy fun so my profile leans towards giving people enough info about my interests so that they can see if they might want to chat and hang out as well as hopefully being attracted to me physically.

That's true. But also people don't just see tits or an arse. You talk to people who view you as more. Even on the fora. But yeah, I've kept my interests blank because I don't want folk to curate what they think I'd like. I'd rather approach them and be approached as an individual rather than ticks and a hole.

Mine started short, very short. Every time I got tired repeating likes or dealing with unpleasantness I would add a little bit.

And whilst my limits are unchanged my interests have grown so they get updated often.

Fab has softened some hard limits as I have grown accustomed to certain mindsets so that will mean another adjustment soon. Just have to gather my thoughts first.

I'll likely shorten too but really, if it's written there it's relevant to me. Anyone who can't outlast a few paragraphs wouldn't last long in person so no loss

I'm not quite at that stage yet (she types a decade later). But it can be frustrating and keeping it free from ranting/what you don't want is tricky. I'm trying to avoid getting in to posting what I don't want and reflecting on what I do and what I can offer. Albeit poorly.

That's a good attitude to have. I think gathering your thoughts and working out what you want to type is a definite good thing. I'm currently crafting a profile on a different site and tweaking and working out how to put hard limits but not explicitly because... it's not quite me.

Good profile op.

Sometimes I want messages, other time I basically say, don’t get in touch!!!

I also don’t have my likes dislike on. I’m in a good mood, where I like finding a common ground with someone. Should I put more details on?

I’ve probably rewritten mine 2-3 times in five years. It’s usually when my life circumstances change and I feel like rejuvenating it. I think a refresh can be a good thing, not least so I can feel current and authentic, but it’s also a psychological pick-me-up.

I’ve tried to reflect my personality with facts and humour, in as little waffle as possible. And I refuse to be negative in any way or provide lists. If I was being shallow, I’d write it generically to have broad appeal. But the fact is I like what I like and other people like what they like. I’ve grown comfortable with that, even though it means I don’t always appeal to people that appeal to me. That’s authenticity, to me.

I suspect (very generally speaking) more women and couples than single men read profiles properly, but it strikes me it’s still more about personal attributes, pictures and that first message.

NB If anyone has any suggestions for improvements to my profile, please do so. I’m not precious!

Well this prompted me to re-read my profile. Nothing has changed so won’t change the wording. Need to update pictures as it’s 2023 now and I think updating annually (annUally) is a good thing to do.

When I was actively looking to meet, I re-wrote my profile several times. It's amazing how a profile that basically says the same, but worded differently to the previous iteration, can attract a completely different type of communication from others (yes, there there are always the FAF, meet now, wuu2 messages no matter what the profile says, but I'm talking about civilised conversations).

I've forgotten what the OP was, and the above is probably completely irrelevant, but anyway, human behaviour fascinates me

"I've been rewriting ours for a couple of days. I envy the witty and erudite authors on here.

Me too....I wish I had that kind of witty flow...very tempted to hire a ghost writer; I wonder if that could be a talent - Fab Profile Writer

imagine the disappointment. You imagine you're meeting Shakespeare and I turn up

If a Diamond was extolled in your name and you turned up looking like Platinum, I can assure you there would be a cohort of lustful Libertines knocking on the door of your fragile heart.

Essex.

Most people don't read the first line.

Often get a " Hi, how are you?"

Being polite I reply, then we have a chat, then the guy asks for a meet, I say sorry you aren't what we are looking for.

They then moan that I have wasted their time...

It's so fascinating isn't it? Why do people people?

I've had such different messages since tweaking my profile recently. Really lovely ones, people are opening up more, suggesting things. I'm going to start taking people up on things. I'd always thought that maybe folk weren't quite as keen on doing things but it's been a lovely surprise.

Why just black guys and no Asians? Seems racist
