"Long" is subjective. Paste one of the profiles you consider too long into this site and tell us how many words you are talking about: http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/countwords.shtml

At 160 words, I think yours is way too short for anyone to get a sense of you as a person.


Oh oh! My one-time profile is only 8 more than the too-short standard at 168 words!
I wonder if my loquacious ad-hoc stream of thought journal at 3,425 words partially makes up for my profile reticence?

I think it's very fitting.

Has anyone else noticed a recent tendency for people to write exceedingly lengthy profiles? Working on an iPad I find the entire screen taken up with densely packed te5.

My own effort perhaps lies at the opposite end of the spectrum.

I wonder what the optimum length should be,

John


96 seconds worth of reading material unless I'm laughing.. keep me laughing, educated or entertained and I'll keep reading.

Also, if I run across a profile that has poo spew from the beginning (is very negative) I'll pass that immediately regardless of length.

I get 639 words from your profile, which I would find quite good if I too were married to a vanilla in an open relationship. It's seems like you are looking for another whole relationship, not just a kinky fuck buddy, and I can't help but thinking that would destroy the balance you claim to want to preserve in your current relationship.

I'm impressed. Not only did you correct my count (which, admittedly, I ran quickly from the javascript and may easily have goofed it up) - but that you ascertained quite a lot from my stream of thought ramblings upon who I am and what I want out of wife.

Indeed, I've never been known to be uncommunicative - and - well - truth be told - I give out heartily far too much information, most of it unasked for. But, I guess that's the point of the original post - that we should (in his opinion I guess) all provide less revealing information about our true selves.

Aw shucks. I think I'll simply shorten my profile for the cellphonitantes community .. to something around a dozen words ... for the iPaderati amongst us!

A single word, for them, may be one too many!

Status: offline 		I can sympathize with the op finding things to be difficult to read on a device other than a computer. But expecting everyone else to shorten theirs to be easy to read on an iphone, for example, is ridiculous. Like it or not, most of us access CMe via a computer.

It isn't the length per se, it's the sense it gives of you as a person. If you're verbose, then a short profile would give a misleading view of you. If you're terse, then it would give a good view.

Hate to break this to you, but this would likely attract only male iPaderati, not female.
