Well, the picture is the easiest way to get to the profile (like in blogs/forums, for example), since we don't seem to have a convenient search function. Once, I'm in the profile, I look at the age range they're looking for; their religion, if any; their marital status; whether they want or have kids, and whether the kids live with them; and many other details in the first box. If I'm really interested, I read the whole profile. Also, I check out the other profile pictures to see if they show the person engaging in activities they enjoy. For example, my helmet shows that I enjoy biking and other outdoor activities. If the only pictures they show are in their home, then what are they doing to enjoy life outside the house? Those are some of the things I look for in a profile. To sum it all up, what you put in the profile, or leave out, is important, and people do read your profiles.

Plus, in many cases the pics are taken in the bathroom in front of a mirror. You can find out what type of shampoo they use, bathroom colors...see if the colors match the curtains, etc.

If they have been to my WVM page, then I'll check their profile. In most cases I'll send a flower thanking them for viewing my profile. For the past few days I have been communicating with someone who was on my WVM.
HuggerMan4U: Oh, nuts! You mean I've been checking all these bathroom pics, and I forgot to check for shampoo and matching colors? Boy, am I blind, or what? (Okay, actually, only partially, but at least I can see.)

Rummy1: What made u to check the profiles which u have checked recently? Is it nice profile pic or something else?
Sometimes I just forgot the detail about the person especially when I read him/her posted in blogs or forum. I should know better about the person before I gave comments or think about what he/she talked about.

To ensure that the person who wrote the profile is sane enough :-)
I guess most of them didn't even read the profile properly. Some men who exchanged emails with me enthusiastically, they stopped the correspondence after I mentioned I am looking for friends solely. It is weird because I wrote it clearly in my profile that I have my beloved ....
