Many profiles on here are not all that informative
It's something I noticed since I started being more active here. It doesn't really come as a surprise though since I've seen it on other dating sites as well.And in a way I get it. Not everyone has such serious intentions and might just decide randomly on a rainy day to put up an online ad to see where it goes. Others are probably eager to get started and might intend to update their profiles later on but forget to do so. Yet others doesn't have english as their native language and then it's understandable that writing a longer profile can be difficult.
Still I think it's a bit of a shame that probably more than half of the profiles on here only consists of a few lines. I find it very hard to get an idea of what a person is like or feel inclinced to write them if all they posted was a few famous quotes or a couple of cliches that are true for most human beings. Personally I think the worst part is when the only thing stated in the profile is "ask me about things and I'll reply". If they didn't even bother spending a few minutes sharing a little about themselves - how do they think other people will bother with starting to ask them a bunch of questions?
I'm not sure though if it's just me or if this is something that other people notice as well? Personally I love long and very descriptional profiles. I don't mind spending a few extra minutes reading them if it means I can right off the bat better determine if there is the possibility of us being a match and also get some good topics to use as a conversation starter. But they don't have to be superlong or anything. I just think it's nice when they paint a picture of a person. After all dating and finding love is a pretty big deal to most people so it seems rather reasonable to me to put in a little extra time on it.

becorse the most who sent a message and writing you have a lovely smile and think they can fool every one ,but do not read a profile compleet
if the person wright that you need to ask ,the things whats importend to you ,but they maybe dont what that everybody nows everyting about them self
If someone is serious about finding a partner/mate or suchlike,then the profile write up is in my view quite important .WTFBANANA ..
This does raise its own issues however i think...
Many people think lots of profiles are dishonest,,and to be fair,i imagine many are infact dishonest...
But i do think its a good idea to paint a reasonable picture of who you are and what you are about in youre profile wording... perhaps.
In my opinion that is completely missing the point of a dating profile. After all it's supposed to make people interested in you as an individual.
if there's a will,there's a way.
