What Does Your Profile Try To Tell Us?
I’m sure most of us have viewed a few profiles while on dating sites. Sometimes we just scan it briefly or maybe only partially while other times we read it attentively. Sometimes you may read it even several times.What is it that makes you pay more attention to a specific profile? Was it the picture or was it some word(s) in there that captured your attention. Is it some special characteristic that you seek?
And most of all; what does your profile try to tell us. What is the single most important thing you try to convey when a person read your profile or do you think that a good looking picture is enough?
Greeting from a wet and windy Cape Town.
I have to nip out for a while. Should not be too long.

Normally, a guy with a genuine smile would have me pay more attention on what he has got to say on his profile..
You have a good day Bob!
Well, as they say "a picture is worth a thousand words"...
A nice friendly smily face would be the first attraction.
Before reading all the contents of the profile, a good presentation and writing style, including some humour and, last but not least, correct spelling and grammar!
Then the contents: personality, hobbies, clarity in what a person is looking for.
I'm good in this... my own profile tells everybody I only look for friends, but if a special guy shows up he might get lucky, but he must be very special and prove it.I don't sell myself cheap.
My profile telling people that I only interested in good quality people. People who know what exactly he is doing, know exactly what he is talking about, either it is for just a friend or special friend.
I only interested in people who think that world is in his hand, so distance won't be any problem.... :)
Also, I gave the info that my hair is black but in reality, it's dark brown with few streaks of red
There you have it!!
Mine says I'm a flirt. Well, I used to be but I have gone stagnant lately. I think I must pick up the old strings again.
Hmm, that is a mouth-full. But now it leaves me wondering if we really know what we're looking for. We seldom settle for that.
Then you can rest assure that your profile is working. Friends you have in abundance.
Well, that is pretty practical. And straight to the point.
You should not be scared to look at profiles. Anybody who believes that a person who looked may be interested is making a big mistake. If I look at a profile I will contact the person if I was interested.
I thought my profile is as simple as I am. and clear enough what I am looking for...
And if honestly, I don't read profiles where owner describe himself or his match more than in 3 lines or use - "she must be..."
How 'bout this...I also stated if a guy with GSOH comes along, I don't mind striking up a friendship with him. I lied. I want a guy who's not only has a GSOH but also a brilliant cook who could whip up a meal at a short notice, perfect in Italian, French, Chinese (of course!) and Sudanese cuisine, can make mayonnaise from scratch, cook up a storm to impress my friends and relatives, can produce the best omelette that resembles a baby's bum, able to grill those BBQ meat to perfection....
Oh! and also all the photos, except the one of the cat, have been heavily photoshopped to not look like me!
All eyes are on you!
Looking for a wham bam thank you ma'am...
Zman, Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!!! For comments on Minivera's blog about goals.
My poor old England team...who I happen to support and am loyal to... You were very cheeky about
Ouch! Again!!!
Now I know why you never take a peek at my profile....
Besides, you never finished the movie (storm of the century).
Sorry for the hijack Cat.
You must tell us. I have never looked at your profile.
Oops, wrong icon.
Again!
I kind of agree with you and I seldom believe the first three lines.
Yes, it seems that the picture is very important. It is strange that so few people bother with decent pics.
Don't look at me. I'm the one asking the questions here.
I personally believe that we cannot describe ourselves correctly. Other people see us differently.
I have not looked at your profile yet but somehow I believe you.
I seldom look at the profiles. The blogs and comments people make tell me much more about them and they don't lie.
