If the profile just says "hi" there's not much to read.

I get those quite often from the women. So, there are women who don't read profiles either.

I do read the profile but unfortunately the admin should make it mandatory in the description to have atleast 300 to 500 words about them. That will eliminate the some of the fake accounts as you see. if a people have the same description we can eradicate them from the site.

At present by default it says HI.. It's ridiculous people not having to say anything about them even though it's a free dating site hosted for public. I am still exploring the site.

HOPE we can bring a change to this site for future betterment.

I always read a profile, no point in wasting your time and messaging someone you don't like the sound of?

It's just a shame that women get so many messages per day that they don't bother opening and reading genuine messages.

Yes, if there is content to read in the profiles.

Very true.

Generally I read profiles. However, if her profile starts off accusing most men of only being here to find a FWB I read no further.

I read profiles, I just don't bother with Debbie Downers who don't want drama in their life.

Being a visual male and recognizing how important chemistry is a factor in attraction I first seek a woman who is HWP, has several photos and not just head shots ( head shots alone 95% to mask obesity) if there is chemistry I peruse the entire narrative assuming she writes and articulates herself and then will respond if she is intelligent, not on an angry diatribe, seems willing to be comfortable at an initial inquiry then proceed and offer her a variety of shared interests, values, hobbies and special aspects of oneself that differentiates one person from another. Also have been known to comment on photos and particulars regarding each one as they reflect interests, hobbies, animals, travel, cuisine, and other pertinent data...

i think they do!

youre zo smart!

Do Men Really READ the profiles ???


Some Do, Some Don't

Personally I read profiles in a very specific way.

1. The picture must appeal to me.
If I like the picture and it appears to be genuine it is a plus.
One commenter suggested that full body pics are a must to determine obesity. I do not limit my interests over their size. I have known many big bodied women that are healthy and kind. I have also known many slim women that are cruel and mean. The picture gets me interested but sometimes I continue reading even when no picture is posted.

2. I scan the stats. When the stats don't match what I seek, I move along. If they are within my matching guidelines I read their summary.

3. I look for specific things in their summary that inform me as to their nature. I look for both good indicators and bad indicators. I compare what they list as interests against what they say in the summary. If it does nothing more than repeat the same info, I move along. If it supports that info and gives a clarity of their interests I keep reading. Summaries that are written to inform potential matches why they should be contacted have more meaning to me than ones written to inform me about what she does not want.

4. Finally, I review my reason for viewing her profile. I may google her location to see if meeting IRL is a possibility. If her location is far or her stats don't match my limits, I might be viewing because I am interested in knowing her from something she posted in the forums.

I have time to read profiles. To me, finding the right someone is very important. Other men, without the time to leisurely read profiles, may make quick assessments and proceed surely.

I've talked with enough women on dating sites to understand that they get a lot of very bad attention from some men. It restricts what they say and show in their profiles.

If I am excited about a specific profile I tend to shoot them a message. I try to relate to something they shared with a similar thing from my own life. I come out and ask for them to reply. I offer up a fragment of myself to them with a related question or two.

I also look at and read any profile of someone that views me. I determine if I should contact them based on the same inputs as above but I hesitate because they have only viewed me but have not messaged me. They may be just curious.

If I see the same woman viewing my profile over and over again there is a chance she may be interested but doesn't know how to initiate personal contact. I message and ask.

Topic: Do Men Really READ the profiles ???

Do women? The female scammers certainly don't.

A lot of women don't read the profiles either. I am very clear in what I am looking for and yet I have had quite a few looking for much more than I can offer.

Number one look at pic, number two read profile, number three hope lady is interested.yep real men read profiles. Sad and cruel scammers are heartless was contacted by a couple.Hey guys wish me luck.

I read (the real-looking) profiles. I'll pull over and ask for directions rather than drive in circles. I do at least glance at instructions, but there usually isn't any point. Think about it this way: Most people have to do the same things over and over and over. Why read the same directions over and over and over when you already know them by heart?

This is directly to the women here: Perhaps most men are idiots and jerks but so are most women. There are MANY great men and women left but they're too busy living life to stop and check you out. Give it time and be less stereotypical in how you analyze those of the opposite sex. When we start stereotyping, we start judging.

We're all in this together whether we like it or not. For example, I hate all the cleavage everywhere, but what am I going to do about it? Men can't get a special ball bra and sport around some cleavage of their own, can they? Totally unfair. I also find interesting how most guys are circumcised and how it's the guys fault if he gets turned on easily. You know, that skin is supposed to be there to protect from chaffing and unintended stimulation. Imagine if you had nothing to protect you from that, had many things to do throughout the day, and then others got mad if you got turned on more easily than they did. Is that guy a pervert or??? That's kind of what it's like.

I think what this all boils down to is men and women may both skip the profile, but a more likely situation is that you're dealing with a scammer. I always wait to see if they are actually interested in answering my questions. If they aren't, then I move on. So yes, both men and women can be scammers, scammed and misled about what to expect from the opposite sex.

Based on the messages I got, they don't.
