To all the women who put "please title your message with the word xxxx so we kno you read our profile" - what % of messages with yoir code word do you get?
I wonder if I'm simply paranoid that no one reads my profile or if I misinterpret messages somehow?

I'll always read a profile and in my message put something that I've taken from the profile so it proves I've read it
I'll always title it correctly as well according to their request |

"I always read profiles. It's not just blokes though - I've had messages from women and couples who clearly haven't read mine either."
It wasn't a dig at men by the way, it's just I don't care what women and couples do as I'm not really interested in them. |

Your not paranoid. They don't read.
I never have 'put this word in the title to prove you have read' on my profile and never would. However, I do have that I am not meeting. The amount of mail I get is quite amusing but annoying.
Ironically, most of it is between the hours of 9-6 too. |

I love your profile text! I've got not meeting too. Which is why I asked - all the guys seem to backtrack and say oh I know, it's for when you're meeting again. |

When we first joined we had the code word request....
Men, I'd say about 20% included the code word. Another 10% would send a follow-up message after sending their original message, and include the code word. It's like they sent the message first, then looked back at the profile, realized there was text after the pictures, and decided to read it 
Couples, maybe 10% had the code word. It was like they didn't think they needed to do it because they came with a vag.
Women, didn't message us so I wouldn't know.  |

Lol loving the 10% that do it in a second message. That's brilliant.
I do get the odd guy who says he sees I'm not well and hopes I get better soon. Those are really sweet. But too many seem to not have a clue. |

That's right next to your pictures though. I'm not talking about your status, I'm talking about your profile text they would have to scroll down for (on a phone anyway). |

I've got an app that scans for code words and the automatically composes and introductory message based on the keywords mentioned and likes and dislikes.  |

Single males, females AND couples don't bother reading.
Many don't read replies to messages properly either.
Mostly it's what they "think " you wrote not what you actually wrote  |

There's a secret rota. I have to call you it tomorrow. Remind me if (when) I forget. |

I (LB) read every profile before getting to the pics but 'P' goes straight for the pics, her reasoning being that even if it's an excellent profile if there's no attraction then there's no point in reading anything. |

I've only ever seen one male profile with a code word request in it, which I ignored & he still replied.
Not sure where I am going with that except if someone catches your eye you'll probably message / reply regardless...... |

I do read profiles but I have a memory like a, er, those things with holes in which means I've forgotten some important part of the profile by the time I've got the message screen up!
.....what was the question again?

That's part of the reason we took it out. I also thought it was silly because it only made the good people contacting us jump through more hoops. |

I honestly read every profile and base my message around any points raised so I'd rather they be infornative about the person or couple.
I must admit i do look at the pics first though  |

I don't like the code word thing - to me it seems conceited - ie 'to even be considered worthy of meeting us you have to jump through this hoop first' - and many women and couples have a whole lot of hoops!!
I don't expect people to read my profile before they message me - it's rather long and it was written to provide a few giggles! I do like people to read it if I agree to meet them though - as it lists all my imperfections and I wouldn't want them to be disappointed when my clothes come off! Xx |

There's no point in a guy messaging me if he hasn't read my profile...I don't display veris or pretty pics for him to get off on, and tbh if he can't be arsed spending 5 minutes finding out about me then I have no interest in engaging with him! Yes it's a long one but no hoops to jump through - it's just very clear on what I want  |

we get a mix some guys read every bit of the profile and you can tell when they message you some don't id say 50/50 but its not rocket science those who have read our profile get to meet us those who don't just don't , it used to piss me off but now its just a simple delete |

i don't have a code word but i do ask that guys be chatty because i like chatting.
most of my messages now ask me if i'd like to chat.
i do think most men read your profile, sometimes it seems like they don't but most of the time it seems they do. |

Yet you still expect a husband to let you put your cock in his wife when you can't be bothered to even read the profile?  |

i always read a womans profile and comment on there text and put in a word or phrase that they ask to prove that i have read and got stuff that interests me and that i fit what there looking for.
But still doesn't seem to matter.....regardless as most get deleted without even being read. |

I always read 100% bio's and refer to 'test' words that need to be included in the title of a message -- And refer to similarities so the reader understands that have read it and craft beautiful, relevant messages.
.
80+% never get read, but thats a different post..... |

Just because someone fails to state the requisite code word in the title, or didn't make a very specific mention of some detail, it doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't read or digest the profile first.
I've had a few "D'oh!" moments, after sending a mail when I realised I forgot to add the correct word or asked a ridiculous question that was clearly answered in the profile.
I do it probably once a week at work, a follow up email saying " apologies, this time with the attachment".
I've had a few responses in the past that state " you clearly didn't read my profile " and thought, well, I did, and I rather liked it, that's why I mailed you.
That said, I do understand that single women and couples seem to be deluged with a torrent of junk and that must be very frustrating.

The reason I posted the thread is I have not meeting (and probably not even replying) written at the top of my profile.
And guys message me. And I wonder whether they just want a chat and to be sociable or are expecting me to meet them if I reply?
I must type "You do know I'm not meeting don't you" over and over.
Maybe I need to explain that I don't just have a cold and it'll take longer than a couple of days before I'm meeting again?
And yes it's also frustrating when you think a guy has read your profile and make a reference to it in your messages and they have no clue what you're talking about. Or they ask stuff that's in your profile. It's a bit annoying. But I can live with that.
It's the messages when I say I'm not meeting that sound like they are angling for a meet - that what I'm mostly wondering about. |

Maybe you just need to learn to ignore. You'll find it less irritating. Or better still set your preferences so that people can't contact you. The site has tools. Use them |

Why don't you set your filters to stop people from contacting you.

Even though I'm not meeting I still read the persons profile if they've contacted me for whatever reason or of they're from the forums as to get a better insight into them...I do like the pictures better on most part I must admit though. |

Because I'm still getting some lovely messages from nice people (of all genders) and when you feel like shit it's nice to get a friendly message and maybe chat a bit.
I did put all my filters up for a while but I didn't like it.
And putting filters up doesn't help when I'd like the occasional random message from someone but I'd like them to know I'm not meeting without having to explain it over and over.
I love the idea of a photo with not meeting written on it though. That's the best idea yet! Full marks, and you go to the top of the class. Have a gold star. |

I read profiles. Sometimes women don't stick to all their stated rules. I've met women who clearly state no married men and I clearly state I'm married. Not judging or anything, far from it. Just saying not all boundaries are set in stone and sometimes the impression is given of a boundary being overlooked when it isn't. Such is life though and the game goes on |

"Just because someone fails to state the requisite code word in the title, or didn't make a very specific mention of some detail, it doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't read or digest the profile first.
I've had a few "D'oh!" moments, after sending a mail when I realised I forgot to add the correct word or asked a ridiculous question that was clearly answered in the profile.
I do it probably once a week at work, a follow up email saying " apologies, this time with the attachment".
I've had a few responses in the past that state " you clearly didn't read my profile " and thought, well, I did, and I rather liked it, that's why I mailed you.
That said, I do understand that single women and couples seem to be deluged with a torrent of junk and that must be very frustrating.
The reason I posted the thread is I have not meeting (and probably not even replying) written at the top of my profile.
And guys message me. And I wonder whether they just want a chat and to be sociable or are expecting me to meet them if I reply?
I must type "You do know I'm not meeting don't you" over and over.
Maybe I need to explain that I don't just have a cold and it'll take longer than a couple of days before I'm meeting again?
And yes it's also frustrating when you think a guy has read your profile and make a reference to it in your messages and they have no clue what you're talking about. Or they ask stuff that's in your profile. It's a bit annoying. But I can live with that.
It's the messages when I say I'm not meeting that sound like they are angling for a meet - that what I'm mostly wondering about.
Maybe you just need to learn to ignore. You'll find it less irritating. Or better still set your preferences so that people can't contact you. The site has tools. Use them
Yes agreed.
Why don't you set your filters to stop people from contacting you.
Because I'm still getting some lovely messages from nice people (of all genders) and when you feel like shit it's nice to get a friendly message and maybe chat a bit.
I did put all my filters up for a while but I didn't like it.
And putting filters up doesn't help when I'd like the occasional random message from someone but I'd like them to know I'm not meeting without having to explain it over and over.
I love the idea of a photo with not meeting written on it though. That's the best idea yet! Full marks, and you go to the top of the class. Have a gold star. "
I agree with you that it would be a good idea for you to do it.
But will you actually do anything about it ?

Blimey you have enough cats for a feline gang bang!
We have enough trouble at home with the dog staring at us in horror when my husband and I fuck. Do cats ignore you then, or sit and take notes and give you scores out of ten at the end? |
