Are you tired of profiles where they are:
Are a short story, rather than a brief introduction?
Long tomes which frankly make you sleepy?
Did you know you can tell more about a person who writes like this?
Do you think that people who write profiles like this are being disrespectful?
Because they are taking your time up?
Your time is precious.
Respect is two ways. People with long profiles have forgotten this.
What are your thoughts?

Each to their own. Some are literal, others are verbal. I prefer the actual face to face where you can communicate effectively and listen well. Actually mostly listen and mood permitting you pick up a hell of a lot more when there’s honesty and trust.

I am the opposite I like to read a well written profile and appreciate the time and effort that has gone into it, I much rather meet someone who doesn’t rush thing and do a half arsed job of it.
I find short profiles very disrespectful I read between the lines and all I see is shag me now I’m desperate and not willing to put in any effort. I also, rightly or wrongly, assume they must be lazy and uneducated! |

MAybe I should add that I’m not meeting and therefore removed all information from my profile so I do not get messages, although I think this is self explanatory, no information means I don’t expect or want to get any messages. The same goes for short profiles they should expect nothing also  |

We make no apologies for a long profile; it actually saves time in the end reducing 'message table tennis' and wasted messages. It grew so long as a result of having to clarify things in follow up messages.
If someone can't be arsed to spend 60 seconds reading a detailed profile I'd suggest that is they who are being disrespectful. |

No I think long profiles are fine (as long as they don't go too over the top, but that's very subjective). It's up to the individual as to whether they read them or how much of them they read. As far as I'm concerned, a profile is there to tell others about you and what you're looking for.
I certainly don't think they are in any way disrespectful in terms of wasting other peoples time. |

If long profiles annoy you that much just pass them by. It's not like you have to actually read them to discover that they are long, you can see when you loo at them 
I can't see what is disrespectful about writing a long profile, it seems arrogant and disrespectful to even suggest that your time is so precious thst everyone should adhere to your expectations |

A well written profile gives people something to work with when sending a message. It helps give a flavour of the person.
If that is not your cup of tea then don't read it and pass it by. |

Our is fairly long but To put it quite bluntly if you can't be arsed to read it, then we can't be arsed to speak to you let alone meet you It takes a maximum of 60 seconds to read it and tbh it saves constant msgs |

When I go to the library I don't think that authors who have written very long books are disrespectful. If I think the subject matter is interesting I'll read them if not, I won't.
You're right though, respect does go two ways. |

Yes maybe but it’s an assumption, not a fact, based in the information I am presented with. Therefore, if you don’t want people to make incorrect assumptions you should provide them with more information, but if you don’t care then that’s your prerogative, run your profile however you like. “You” being used generally not aim at you in particular. |

Yes, very disrespectful to waste our time reading that post |

We love a good narrative in a profile. It gives a good outline of what they're like and if we're likely to click with them.
Short profiles that say nothing about themselves yet say they are looking for 'like minded people' are baffling. How do we know if we're like minded?
Ours is a fair old ramble with a couple of updates but it hopefully paints us fairly accurately  |

This!
The only positive thing about threads like this, is that they serve as good filters to sift out the kind of people we wouldn't want to meet.

A detailed profile will show me that a person is willing to put in effort to attract the right type of people, just as I put effort into mine. This is the type of man I am looking for. He is more likely to have similar needs to me & the limits that I currently have, will not be an issue as the buildup is part of what I need.
This is not to say that I would disregard a good 1st message if the profile is basic. But if the message & profile are basic, there is nothing to interest me. |

Prefer a well written profile than a few words. At least they are making an effort to meet someone on their wavelength.
I'll pass by majority of profiles with hardly anything of them because they do nothing to catch my attention. |

nope.... i think of it as a filter...
if 2 minutes reading what i wrote on my profile is too long a concentration span for people...

my gosh.... a two way filter... fancy that!!! |
