"By putting fartymcbollockpants in the title of your message like they asked in the 70th paragraph  "
Which means everyone just scans down the page to find the magic phrase
Mine is long but it’s pretty obvious if people haven’t read it. Doesn’t bother me either way. |

I think profiles don't necessarily need to be long as long as it's honest . Mine isn't a Shakespeare novel but it's honest about myself and to the point . I don't mind reading longish profiles but I've seen some that take longer to read than than small print on insurance claims  |

You'd think people would figure out not to put it at the end of their profile though, wouldn't you? Everyone puts it there |

Long...but we'll written and really wasn't a chore getting to the bottom, unlike some which make me want to give up pretty quickly! |

Mine's fairly lengthy, but my previous profile text was longer. It works for me - attracts the type of men I'm looking for and gets a fair few compliments too |

Oh and in answer to the OP - you don't necessarily (unless they say something obvious that is either included or specifically excluded by your profile) but if it's someone you're exchanging messages with you get a "feel" for it anyway |

Mine is quite lengthy, but I'm searching for something very specific, so the aim is to explain that in order to reduce time wasting on both sides. I would say 99% of people who message me haven't read it and it's pretty easy to spot. I delete their messages and move on. It's annoying but inevitable. I spend my energy focusing on the ones who have read it |

Good point. I agree.
I really think profile text is pointless anymore though. People look at pics.  |

Mine is long but kind of has to be when it encompasses more than one purpose.
I find if it's incrediblyobvious that they haven't read it then I just delete.
I read profiles so I would guess if someone wanted to get down and dirty with me least they could do is feign some interest in the person they are attempting to meet. |

I keep mine short and to the point. I don't give anything away about what I'm looking for, except my age ranges. If someone says they are what I'm looking for, they have to prove it by talking to me for months and months. |

I don't read long profiles; or I skim read.
I can usually get an idea of the person by reading a paragraph or two. That can either put me off them, or want to talk to them. |

I wouldn't say it's totally pointless - I always read someone's profile text fully before I initially start chatting to them and decide if I think they are someone I'd like to talk to off the back of it - but once you've established a connection and are chatting it becomes less important, although still relevant and a good point of reference |

I think the same. No matter what my profile says, the same people say they're looking for the same.
Apart from my current one. |

Should people be offended if somebody finds their pictures more interesting than a long profile? I’m probably the guilty party you all speak of. It’s not just on here please don’t take offence. I’m the guy that waits for the book to come out on DVD. Some people find a Shakespearean authored piece of work a turn on and others are more into pictures. May just be my level of maturity but why do I want to spend all day reading at work and come home and not be able to unwind because I have to read war and peace before I decide if it’s safe to send a hello! |

Their message tends to make it really obvious if they've read it or not.
If someone thinks my profile is too long...shrugs...then they can look elsewhere. |

I know people read my profile because they tell me it's long and laborious. It's a page about "me" and I've added to it over time.
If people can't be arsed to read my bio, then I can't be bothered to communicate with them. Read it, don't read it, I'm simply not bothered. |

This completely
Horses for courses and all that - I've had people tell me mine is too long and have had people tell me it's very well written and nicely detailed.
The ONLY person that needs to be completely happy with a profile is it's owner and I'm pretty much happy with mine - if others like it then great - if they don't then no skin off my nose |

You don't really know unless they mention something that you have but it's so obvious when they haven't.
I'll get messages daily asking me to meet in a hotel or a guy will tell me he's in so and so hotel for the night. I just delete those ones.

"How do you know that people have read them?"
You just assume they haven't unless they actually tell you they did... like when they tell you they just had to mail you to say yours was the most arrogant/conceited/boring profile they'd ever read and they regretted the waste of their precious time....
To which I reply: 'Hope you've at least had an egg on to boil while you took the additional time to mail me and read this reply then'
But in general most first messages from people are based on pics... Not profile text. Such is the shallow nature of Fab |

Ours is quite long, but for a purpose! We need to let people know about us and if they can't be arsed to read our profile then that is up to them. And it also tells us that they are not right for us.
To be fair, we haven't had any meaningful contact on here for a while. Lots of single guys who obviously haven't read it. Maybe the lack of contact is because it is so long. So be it.. We get meets from other sites, so not a disaster. |

"and then you get a message from them
"thankyou for your lenghty reply looooool"
I wrote to a couple once who had said ‘one liners and winks will be deleted’ - so I wrote a reasonably long personalised and respectful / polite email that demonstrated that I had read their profile.
Their reply? “If we wanted to read an essay we’d have bought a fu*king book. Cu*t!”

That just shows lack of class! My profile is longish and if you don’t read it we don’t chat. It’s not long out of someone’s day ffs.
It’s just manners.
And I always reply to a well written email, even when not interested. I delete the people that send me “hey” or “wanna meet today”
So I’m all for a good profile giving me details about the person and a feel for them. |

Is it attention span issues though? Women and couples often say they don't have time to reply to all their messages. Would people have time to read long profiles? |

"I don't care if people don't read my profile. It's a good filter. "
Agreed...ours isn’t long by comparison to some, but it gives people something to work with to construct a coherent message. If they can’t do that, we’re unlikely to be compatible. The message doesn’t have to be very long, as we appreciate short amusing ones for example.
Bitch says Twat’s is short and amusing btw...she’s well-named clearly... |

We don't mind a long profile if it's interesting to read, details about the person are not too important either as we like to find out about someone through messaging.
10 paragraphs of ranting, text talk and utter nonsense isn't for us. We can pretty much tell in the first few paragraphs if we are interested.
