Because they don't read the forums and don't know that they need to add more. Because they're doers, not readers and writers. You are describing The Man's profile perfectly. Had damn near nothing but age and location and such. Could have described half a million other men in the NYC tristate area if not more. And he sent a one liner yet. He got lucky, because I answered with a two liner, one of which was a question. And we went from there. But he's an engineer by training. He doesn't read a lot, except for manuals. He'd rather be tinkering with something. Which is what he's doing now, trying to fix an old truck his oldest bought and never got on the road. And I'm here on the boards. But when it comes to the car breaking down and me needing rescuing, or trying a suspension scene, I so much prefer to be with someone who can solve the problem or avoid one, then someone like me who can't. If you're self selecting for great writers, you aren't selecting people who are great doers. Because honestly, there aren't enough hours in the day to be both. Figure out a stock answer for people like this, asking them to answer all the question you need to know before you can see if there's sufficient compatibility to start talking. After all, they have all this info on you, it's fair enough for you to have the same. Or just reply saying that you don't talk to people who don't fill out their profile and maybe they'll do so. But the truth is, they don't know that they need to in order for women to want to talk to them.
