I will never include a person's magic phrase , it's too much like jumping through a hoop
I read all profiles, craft appropriate messages and am pleased with my profile
If I'm rejected due to petty box ticking then I consider myself a lucky escape xxx |

I read profiles if the person might interest me. And in detail if they really start to interest me.
But if they start with shouty capitals then the person is disregarded immediately.
Likewise if I find one of these " special word" things. |

i so agree with you they are just interested in what they get out of it not the other person they don't know the meaning of the word swinging do they
its about getting to know people
also the reason why i put it in capital letters as one person said it doesn't say anything think they were blind so i put it in capital letters so they can read it clearly
its about meeting people like minded people and making firm friendships a long the way and most of all enjoyment
if they don't read my profile then again i think they are not worthy of me in the first place also i find them rude and think are they able to actually have a conversation these days

I didn't think people ever did read profiles 
My opinion of yours, it's a tad long for me ~I'd switch off halfway & probably chance my luck & message you regardless. Maybe others see it the same way which is why you're getting the mail you do.
Maybe have a rethink, you could always filter up & do the searching yourself.
Good luck x

"Some profiles are just too confusing to waste time reading.
It's much easier to go looking for people you want to meet. "
I'm with this. Instead of expecting the world to come to you, look for what you want. That puts you in control.

"I guess as the likelihood of a reply is slim lol.
and made far far slimmer by not bothering to read a profile surely....a little self-defeating..."
That is right as well |

Why should I read a profile and waste 5 minutes of my life...
That is taking away time from my copy and paste " Fancy a fuck " messages with multiple cock pics...
It's a numbers game  |

If some are"just too confusing to waste time reading",then ignore them,don't contact them,but don't,as I think the op is getting at,contact them anyway.it's disrespectful and imo ill mannered. |

It's all about tweaking as you go along & then stick with what works for you
I've had both a long detailed profile & a short one ~ can't say it's made any difference to the messages I've received. |

So the messages you send out are the important one. The rest, read when you can or mass delete. |

I do read profiles..... I only stop reading a profile if it indicates the man is straight and therefore not sexual compatible with my own sexual orientation ..
No point wasting time .....  |

It clearly says on our profile that random friend requests will be ignored so far today I have had 10 random requests! People just look through pics don't read the profile and take a chance. |

Life for me is too short to read long profiles with shouty capitals, let along to make sure I have included certain words in the correct order, with correct spelling etc.
Just my opinion, but it all screams of a high maintenance meet |

If you're finding it difficult to control the messages you receive why not just use your filters to more effect, it will save your time reading messages you do not want to recieve and give you more time to look for the people you are interested in. Good luck |

a lot of profiles on here are way too confusing and demanding..
and too shouty (using capital letters)..
why bother writing down everything you don't like?
why not just set your filters and contact those that interest you, instead of getting all worked up about people not reading something you have taken the trouble to write?  |

With all due respect what do people, mainly women, think is going to happen if they post the photos they do? Man, rightly or wrongly, are going to look at the photos and jump to conclusions. Might I suggest a solution, don't have any public photos and then see what happens. But, to be honest, people want others to perv over their photos, don't they? After all how many threads start with "do you think my boobs..." etc etc, come on be honest!!! |

I agree with you...
I too had a ranty, whiney profile full of do's and don'ts and 'write piss flaps in the header if you have read it all' and it didn't make a jot of difference...
so I ditched it for something altogether far more confusing and kept the pics...cos to be honest no one would chat if I took them away |

Top two lines of our profile.
IF YOUR STRAIGHT OR SMOKE, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND OURS BY MESSAGING, WINKING US OR SENDING FRIEND INVITES.
But we still get the messages etc from straight couples/guys or from people who smoke.
We log on and get all exited when we see we have a couple of new messages, then we discover that they are from a couple who love our profile and so want to meet us but one or both smoke or one or both are straight.
Rant over |
