I don't think it should be a reportable offence unless they have pinched your name addy and bank details.
NO profile is original. All our ideas come from something we read or heard.
Even the slightest adjustment makes it theirs.
I've been scouting for inspiration as I haven't re written my profile yet.
It's a swinging profile not a copyrighted novel...... I guess there isn't much you can do except be flattered. |

A guy helped you write yours ?? What's the diff between that and you helping her ?

I would suggest you also remove her username from your profile. Admin take a poor view of naming and shaming. |

One part of me is thinking you should be flattered another part is thinking cheeky mare lol
I'd send her a mail congratulating her on her good taste and thanking her for the compliment so at least you'd let her know that you had read it
I often read profiles and wish I'd written it myself - never copy them though ! xxx |

Yes I read the bit that was word for word. I was able to do that as you named them in your profile.
Does it really matter ? Are you worried that she'll get more meets than you ? Or are you angry cos she has been lazy and you are part of a literary drive for internet shaggers ?
Honest.... i don't think it matters.
Lazy and unimaginative is another persons creativity and timesaver.

I can see the point Granny makes saying that everyone gets their inspiration from someone else, but I think there's a huge gulf between copying elements of someone's profile and copying the entire thing wholesale.
I think the way in which a particular profile is written reflects that individual's personality in the same way that a photograph represents their likeness.
If someone copied my entire profile to pass as their own (albeit with some minor changes), they'd be using my personality to get them a meet, and I think that's unfair.
I like to think my profile is reasonably well-written. If, for example, someone were to email me expecting a similar level of care and attention in my reply, they could rightly be annoyed if it turned out I was barely able to write in sentences. |

got to love a nice set of iliac crests and agree with you on the Apollo's belt....totally of topic, I know, but I am easily distracted 
As for someone coping your profile, I have had people mail me before, asking to copy things from mine, and I also copied the uni paragraph on my own, but I give props to Shark for it lol
Ignoramuses..... people, who are just rude and don't ask, that push in and never say please or thank you, they know no better, bless em....rant over lol  |

They wouldn't be using your personality .... C'mon silly if you wrap up a digestive in a penguin wrapper and I unwrap the penguin I'm going to KNOW it's a digestive.
If you have a great profile (and I will look ) but the person who nicked it is a fucking dullard when messaging or talking on the phone...... then it's a no meet situation.
Has anyone EVER gone..... Oh nice profile .....and then tootled off for a meet ? |

'Silly'?! I'm afraid that, like you, I'm not keen on pet names
Would you not agree that in the situation you describe, a plagiarised profile has led you to waste time messaging someone who you would not have otherwise approached had they written their own 'fucking dullard' profile? |

I wouldn't be bothered at all if someone copied the text from my profile. Whilst it was wriiten by us, its hatdly imaginative and unique, basicaally couple enjoys clubs, parties and meets with couples and single guys. Yes we describe ourselves, vaguely, but I could probably liken our profile to 10,235 profiles on here.
I'm not interested in the text of our profile, my OH has updated the odd bit ie, new swingers has been deleted as after 18 months I reckon we're old hats now. Its a uncomplicated couple of paras written by the two of us.
The photos however are a different matter. It bothers me a little that people try and replicate aspects of them. I get asked regularly to think up ideas for other people. I can't do that because it would be my interpretation and not theirs, and therefore I feel that I'd be splashing my personality over someone elses profile, people need to portray themselves visually how they personally wish and what truly reflects them |

Actually I have to agree with this, so I'm having a change of mind.
Whilst our profile text is hardly imaginative and fairly generic, it was written by us. It would never occur to me to look at other profiles for inspiration. From our profile you can probably get an idea of the type of people we are. If someone was unimaginative but had an outstanding profile, it would lead others to form an opinion which wouldn't reflect that person in real life |

Thanks xx so kind. If I left it in it wouldn't make much difference to most.
Truth is i don't need to steal to write.
Another truth ( i've been to a confucious convention ) whether a profile is good or not is matter of preference and nothing else.
It's as good or as poor as the reader thinks it is not as good as the writer thinks it is... Glasshoppahhhh x |

Hahahaha! Welcome to my world... I did a thread about it a couple of weeks ago... I sent a message to the last woman who did it saying "nice profile" and she blocked me!! 
I kinda put it down to them having no imagination. If you can't write your own profile then there's not much hope that you have a sparkling personality!! |

If someone steals your profile but is uglier than you and then if someone finds both profiles he/she is gonna go with the prettiest one, obviously. If you have a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp however, you're shit outta luck anyway so don't worry about it. |

To be fair, your profile doesn't actually say anything about you, as it's just a list of likes/dislikes and wants/don't wants. IF someone's lifted it for their profile they probably thought it was a site template for saying exactly what they want on their profile too.
There's no originality on it and it could be one of a thousand profiles on here. |
