Don't bother telling them 'not for us'. Just block. You avoid SO much hassle. |

The ones that are like an essay I never read. Yet at the beginning they'll almost demand you read it word for word then at the bottom state a code word to put in a message title to confirm you've read it. Then, a pop quiz to answer during said messages, each related to the profile, with a minimum pass rate of 95%  |

And therein lies the reason you get blocked.
If you can't be bothered to spend 2 mins reading a profile why should we think you'll put the effort in the bedroom? |

I don’t bother replying to people who haven’t read my profile.
It’s the men who message saying ‘wow I loved your profile...’ not enough to read it though? |

Yup. Then they rush to this forum to whinge about not getting replies. |

Exactly!!! Another favourite is when men message saying ‘I’m from ... but I work up your way!’ And where is my ‘way’ exactly? |

"If profiles are read it saves wasted time on both sides. "
Exactly. 
We find that most are just too lazy to read a profile but will spend hours using the scatter gun tactic of sending the same copy and paste message as many profiles as they can.
We've never really liked using the block button but we seem to be using it a lot more often than we ever have in all the years on here.
They complain about long profiles (I think ours is about medium BTW) but would moan like hell if we all put up a one liner then just knocked them back without explanation.
Tip: If you get a knock back then the reason is usually in the profile, if you bother to read it.

LOL.
We get that one regularly, then they ask us if we want to meet in Blackpool.  
Anyone who has got past the first line will know that we don't. |

We know this is very annoying, but manners cost nothing and a simple 'pleased read our profile'or a 'no Thanks' tends to work for us. We try to reply to all messages unless people are abusive, ignorant or pushy then just delete and block |

I saw one such photo the other day, and one of a bottle up their arse. I wouldn't exactly call it sick, if they are poking it up their own arse that's up to them. I wouldn't meet an individual with such a photo though. XXX |

I like the profiles that demand face pics yet have none. And must send face pics yet don't return. It's as if discretion is only for females and couples. Or some one with a proper shite profile of about 6 words yet they say ypur profile is rubbish |

We hate copy and paste messages, I have had the guy copy and paste the same message three times in one day.
I will always read someone's profile before messaging back,yeah some can be long winded bit it saves time in the long run. We state we can only ever do evening meets and don't meet smokers so what do we get smokers who want to meet in the middle of the day. They wonder why they get no where. |

Or they quit yesterday. Like you wouldn't smell it when they came round.
One couple who smoked told us they would clean their teeth when we declined, I would hope you would do that before a meet anyway |

YESSSSSSS!!!! That is what I always say!! I mean, how fucking lazy can you be? Read for 2 mins and increase your chances of meeting up hugely. Nope, too much work |

Yes, great comparison...
Let me clarify, I have no problem with people having a big profile. It's the attention seeking demanding ones telling you to put code words in messages to prove you've read it that I find quite creepy and sinister. I don't want to improve my chances of meeting someone, I'll meet someone that suits my personality and vice versa. Forcing someone to read an enormous essay and basically attach a CV to a message is not going to be on my agenda |

We use a.. lets call it a code word... To realise if the potential meet has bothered their A to read the profile.
I consider it my responsibility to keep my partner safe & there is no chance I would arrange our meets with a potential if I am not sure they will be respectful.
So to all the single hard done to guys in this thread.. Take note, you might just improve your chances of meeting couples..
That's if you dont bottle it at last minute that is!! ( next doors dog has died etc etc BS )

"Because what you say in your profile doesn't apply to them,that's only for other people.
Fab is all about them.

Probably true!
It is the biggest and most instant turn off when you receive a "hi" or "How's you" or "How u finding the site"
It is an almost guaranteed instant delete (unless they are really that much of a looker! - Kidding - it is a turn off!! |

I may be in the minority, but I prefer long profiles. The more there is, the more I can decide if tbey are right for me, and actually have an idea of something to send a message about. I don't play the numbers game, I try to be a little more selective.
Also, nice to tell if one of my feaures automatically disqulifies me. |

I thought I would put our profile to the test and see exactly how long it takes to read it.
Reading it out loud so I was sure not to skip any bits took me 1 minute and 39 seconds.
Whoever thinks that is too long and they can't be bothered to spend that amount of time to read it before messaging us certainly doesn't deserve any of our time bothering to reply. |

"To be honest with you all most profile are an echo of me me me me me me me me me... when it’s supposed to be about mutual fun
 "
But a profile is supposed to be about the person. Their interests, their preferences, their limitations. It's a snap shot of what they need and want. I think the mutual fun thing comes in after the profiles are read and people have decided if they are interested in more than a snap shot. |

Spot on - could not said it better myself.
How can I even imagine having sex with somebody if I know nothing about the person. I am not talking about their personal details but more about their personality. Without that... sex becomes very mechanical and dull, does nt it? |
