I notice that profiles vary widely in terms of detail and pictures.
Surprisingly I have found the more discrete and less detailed profiles to be more engaging and positive.
Anyone else consider less to be more?
*btw I’m not knocking the great profiles where people have clearly spent time and effort* |

I like to have something to read - something that tells me about the person and what they're into. But anything too much longer than one phone screen starts to lose my interest. Like football pitches for distance, that's my yard stick  |

"I'm thinking of drastically shortening mine. When I have done though I've had messages off guys when I say about a preference that I should have put it in my profile x"
That’s a good point, some clarity does help |

"I think so many people don’t bother reading a profile anyway so what’s the point of putting info in there?!"
I read every profile as someone has taken their time. I just find that those with little detail are more open to responding to a message |

"I like to have something to read on a profile but I don’t like negative shouty types. "
I hate shouty types. I just read your profile and I think that’s a happy medium in that your clear with detail but not rambling or shouty
Nice pics too |

We done that but ended up adding bit by bit to say what we're after so back to more rather than less |

"No, it pisses me off to be honest, I've had 3 men message me tonight asking to meet because they like my pictures, however, their profiles are bloody sparse with no public pics at all!
WTF ask someone to meet you when they don't have a bloody clue what you look like, and I am not even going into the fact that they obviously haven't read any of my bloody profile, otherwise they wouldn't have messaged me in the first place   "
People can just go off pics rather than understand what a person wants and if there is likely to be a connection. Regardless of length of a profile I’ll always make an effort to see if I’m compatible |

None of them have any bloody public pics though, nor did they attach any, so what am I meant to go on? |

What’s too long and what’s too short?
I’ve recently slashed a lot from ours and also on my solo profile, however some have still said it’s long.
I just like to but of personality into them to help people get an idea of who we are. |

"Think ours is short enough but says it all. We have quite a lot of pictures though K x"
Yeah that’s also a question, how many pics is too many?
Do you keep the old or do you keep them fresh and less? |

I'm losing weight, so I'm updating my pictures. The difference with some is quite striking! |

I’d say yours is just right. It’s not shouty either |

Thank you!
I saw recently shouty was seen as too aggressive than intended so have since steered clear

Did get rid of some recently, have also lost a bit of weight. Don't think you should keep them for too long though, maybe years should be the limit. |

You’re a minority, most I think just look at pictures/location then message |

If someone has taken the time with a profile it’s only right. Plus some people’s tastes are rather interesting |

"I've tried to balance short with a few key reasons to not waste your time messaging me.
Don't think it's worked  "
I don’t think it could be any better. Your to the point, not shouty, and you know what you want |

I keep thinking about re writing mine. It's a bit long but takes a minute to read. Plus everything I need to say is written there.
They don't want to read it then fine.. they can move on to the next |

I don't like the 'im A guy, looking for a girl' and that's it. I like to know more about wot he's into, wot he's looking for. Maybe like 2 paragraphs.
I think mines is a bit long winded and repetitive, but ppl don't read it anyway |
