ORIGINAL: DesFIP Basically men don't read profiles. I got one today that said "Greetings to the sub". That was it. LOL. While it is not true of *every* man, there is a decided preponderance of men on this kind of site who do not read profiles. What is amusing is when I receive emails stating that they really liked my profile. I will reply by asking what it was about my profile that they liked so much. Since I have nothing on my profile anymore, it does tend to weed out the wankers who've learned to use "I like your profile" as a come-on. Just my thoughts........ There are plenty of women who don't read profiles either. I have gotten my share of "I like your profile"s and responded to each and every one asking them what is it about my profile that they liked?. I have yet to get a reply... Of course, while people gripe about others not reading profiles, there is also a preponderance of people that don't have anything on their profile to respond to. Perhaps more people read your profile than you think. One of my favorite instances was the person who had this as her profile "This was written just for you, I bet you feel special" then later complained that she got ~4000 messages that were closely related to what she wrote, over the course of about six months. The problem is that profiles are a self-weeding situation. You will only get responses from those who have either; A: Read your profile and liked it B: Haven't read or don't care what the profile says You have no idea how many are in category C: Read your profile and decided they weren't interested in messaging you. Of course every woman is so wondrous that no one could read her profile and decide they weren't interested [;)] So the better your profile is at attracting who you think is a good match, the more (relatively) messages you will get from people who haven't read your profile, because the others did read, decided you weren't a match, and did not contact you. Of course this is just me being a wet blanket on a perfectly good rant [:D] Honsoku
