Someone here was getting frustrated no one read their profile properly.
When I’ve looked at their profile... I’m not surprised! It’s like a novel! I like a ‘good read’ but lost the will to live!
It had lists of stuff they hate or things that would mean they won’t reply/respond. But it all got a bit lost in the length (no pun intended)
Anyone else put off by too much text?
Thoughts?

I agree, if there is too much text it just puts me off reading and just move onto the next profile. If they are that fussy why would you want to make contact. I understand that users want to put on likes and dislikes etc but when it’s as long as a novel I’m surprised that they get any meets. |

If a profile is well written and amusing then it's a joy to read and it doesn't matter if it's a little lengthy..
Unfortunately, some are like a shopping list and become tedious..
However, we can't expect everyone on here to all be expert wordsmiths and should accept profiles for what they are with a pinch of salt.. they are not always a good description of the person for whom they are written.

I skim read anything longer than a couple of paragraphs. When I write my own profile I try to keep it short, as it would be too easy to write a novel about wants and not wants, so I just put the really important stuff. |

I've been told mine is too long, mainly by guys who don't seem to think they can spare 2 minutes to read it. I don't think it is but I put my deal breakers in shouty caps for their benefit. Did it make a difference to the type of messages I get? Did it fuck!!!!  |

Long profiles with lists and buzz words, I switch off when my thumb gets RSI from too much scrolling... 
Thankfully most men have short, to the point text. |

When and if the situation mentioned in the first line changes it will be no hastle to put all the profile back as it was. |

I guess mine is long but hopefully it tells people a bit about me.
I actually enjoy well written and especially funny ones. tells you a bit about the personality before making contact. and if someone xant read for 2 min I don't think he can be patient and with interest to detail when the fun bit starts either... |

Ours is like a bloody novel. I just wish I could have a second page so I could give you all chapters two and three.
Some folk like to read and write, some folk don't. It's all quantum anyway. |

Don't really mind the long profiles, for me it's annoying reading through the long profile, and spending ages coming up with a message you think the person would be interested in based on their profile and then u see that they just delete it straight away without looking at it!  |

Ours is a bit long but we are up front about who we are what we enjoy and what our prespective. We've tried to make it easy to read by using headings and a clear structure.
Long single paragraph profiles are the hardest to read and identfy the key points. |

I prefer positive profiles, not too bothered how long they are but a massive list of rants and things the person/people won’t do is a turn off it’s much nicer to read what someone is into rather than paragraph after paragraph of what they don’t like or want. |

I like a long profile gives you a better insight into the person and how compatible we'll be
I equate too lazy to read = lazy fuck, and from previous experiences in my naive newbie days it's pretty much accurate |

Too long can put me off but to be honest when mines not hidden the title says not meeting the body of the text says not meeting only here to keep up with friends and yet I still get numerous messages asking for meets. So it doesn’t matter if it’s one line or 50 lines 90% of the site patrons won’t read it |

Our profile is quite lengthy, but it's designed to give people a good idea of who we are and what we enjoy. I'm a very positive person, I've tried to keep anything negative out of our blurb, apart from a few 'helpful hints' about how to get our attention when messaging (ie. put a bit of thought in rather than just saying 'hi, nice tits'), and I would hope it doesn't come across as arrogant or demanding in anyway, because that's not the kind of people we are.
We've been on this site for quite a few years, we've have had a lot of positive feedback, and I'm sure plenty of people have read the first few lines and lost interest too, but at the end of the day, our main objective is to give people an accurate impression of who we are and what we enjoy, so we capture the interest of people we're most likely to get on with.
If anyone gets as far as reading it, I'd be interested to know what you think.

I've had four or five different versions of my profile over the time I've been here.
And guess what ....
It doesn't make any difference!
Unless you are good at writing and your profile makes a funny entertaing read - whilst providing clear insight on who you are
- then I can't really be arsed to read a long list of shouty demands about what you dont want  |

We have tried to cover the simple bases on our profile . But for some reason people still ask for meets with Mrs Minxy or invite us as friends with no profile of private pictures .
So really a hundred words or a thousand will make no difference to your preferences here . So those that have actually taken time to read about you are the ones you might meet ,rather than the lets looks at the piccys and messages |

I think if someone isn't willing to take the time to read what I like/ don't like then they are not the person I want to meet anyway.
Most people don't seem to read profiles so it doesn't matter either way. |

On occasions I do get messages from those that have stumbled across my profile and enjoyed reading it..
It is amusing and slightly daft but it fits me perfectly..maybe a little lengthy and girthy in the middle but perfectly formed in my opinion.. damn, if only the same could be said about other things..
I don't mind if anybody plagiarises it either, so fill your boots... however if I come across anyone claiming to be a gin drinking,cockney scuba diver with a guide dog and that lives in a nursing home, I will know exactly where you got it from... |

We've got a long profile. It started short; as we got more and more stupid questions/responses it just grew. We make no apologies for how it is; it is OUR profile.
It probably takes around 45 seconds or less to read and digest. If that's too much trouble or too dificult for someone that's fine; it works as a filter for us. |

I would much rather a profile be long and informative rather than short and not much information about the person and what they are searching for on here.
A profile is like a shop window, in that it needs to attract people's interest. If there's nothing much worth looking at from the outside then people tend to walk on by.
A little effort can reap rewards.

Single women (or people registered as such) will get hundreds of messages whatever length of profile.
As a single male, I have to try to stand out from the crowd. So I have a longer profile, to try to distinguish myself.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest |
Writing a good profile requires a lot of constant revision, as there's always room for improvement.
That being said, I believe the secret is not making it too short, vague and uninteresting, and conversely not making it too long winded that puts people off from reading it to the end.
I like profiles that give off a good vibe and are upbeat. Completely put off by profiles that read like a laundry list of what annoys that person or couple, and there are plenty of those to go around. |

I much prefer a profile that tells me something about the person/couple. I don't mind if it's long or concise. One of the longest I've read warned the reader to put on a kettle before doing so, I found it very funny. While a list of likes and dislikes can be dull, it beats 'will fill in later' and still the same after a year or more. I'm sure very few actually read mine, but doubt that's down to the length! |

Might have throw one of them pesky title heading tricks in my profile. Throw a few ladys out. Weed through the readers. And dreamers lol...
Women do it double standard. Most woman who message me havent read my profile. But who am I to complain I haven't got time for negativity over such petty instances.
Perv over my pics and drop me a naughty message. That's works fine by me |

We both enjoy reading a well written profile regardless of it's length.
It gives us an insight as to who we're chatting to or eventually meeting, so it doesn't bother us at all.
Profiles with less than a couple of sentences rarely gets a reply from us. |

Surely the fun is finding out about people, getting to know people, messaging them and seeing if you click. If you write a long profile intro, you take away some of the mystery about getting to know them

It had lists of stuff they hate or things that would mean they won’t reply/respond. But it all got a bit lost in the length (no pun intended)
Anyone else put off by too much text?
Thoughts?

Not at all I like profile with lots of text, it shows they have put effort in. And as for single man it gives me an opportunity to have more information to initiate the first message. |

Yes. It’s equally as bad as the single sentence profiles.

"I've had four or five different versions of my profile over the time I've been here.
And guess what ....
It doesn't make any difference!
Unless you are good at writing and your profile makes a funny entertaing read - whilst providing clear insight on who you are
- then I can't really be arsed to read a long list of shouty demands about what you dont want "
Spot on, ours has been shorter, longer. H's own one takes twenty seconds to read & still doesn't get read by some.
We don't mind them being long as long as they tell us something & don't say
"Will only meet couples with partner/fb" On a singles profile, as that just fucks us off if there's no details of him!

"Don't really mind the long profiles, for me it's annoying reading through the long profile, and spending ages coming up with a message you think the person would be interested in based on their profile and then u see that they just delete it straight away without looking at it! "
It's great that you are willing and have read long profiles but then would it not stand to reason that they would then look at yours and Well what message would they send back based on your profile
My profile is long and I like to think it shows the kind of person I am somewhat but I don't expect anyone to read it if they don't want to but then I do expect them not to bloody message me after they can't be arsed to read it. |

Everyone is unique - with thousands of members it's good that people clearly illustrate if they are going to match you or not. Move on when you find someone doing you a favour by showing you that you didn't strike gold. |
