germanspitz:

Meeting someone face to face if at all possible would be the answer in my opinion.
I agree with this people can be very different on and off line sometimes unintentionally including myself I can be quiet shy in person but most people talking to me wouldn’t pick up on that
I don’t do it to mislead people it’s just who I am

You and I have a few things in common Butterfly. I'm an introverted person. If I walked into a big room with a lot of people I don't know I'll find a corner to sit in and just listen to everybody else.

If I feel comfortable with someone I'll open up and kid around.

But I never never want to be the center of attention.

Yes it appears we dohug

Centre of attention my worst nightmare
Once I’m comfortable with someone I don’t hold back they get to see all sides of me and I’m not exactly quiet laugh

I will read them sometimes just out of curiosity.

I am not one for trawling through loads of profiles day in and day out, it adds no value to my life, but can be funny when a wild card turns up, even more so when they launch themselves onto the forums or blogs.

There have been some gas tickets on this here site over the years.

tomcatty: There seems to be a split here, some people carefully examine profiles, some go with their gut, which are you?
I scrutinise every profile

Profiles are typically crap. They're a few or sometimes too many cliches strung together. It's rare to get the measure of a person from reading a profile. Chatting with someone makes things much clearer. Going with the gut is not a good idea online, either. In person is a whole other story.

I read some from the messages I get... and usually I find out that they are 3'1" tall, a student, with a income between $100,000 and $150,000 per year, and looking for a man to make happy... unfortunately though, they are around 31 years old, and seeking someone in the age range 45 - 85... Believe me, I've been tempted... shimmy ... laugh

... rolling on the floor laughing

You use the profile pic and bio to see if he/she is worth taking anything further. Someone may tickle my fancy but when he claims to have a PhD but can't spell his own name properly, I'll take it that he's a skeet.

My profile says I'm 120 years old.
I'm having nice chats with cool guys who would probably not normally be writing to me but for some reason are, now I'm 120... laugh laugh

Mine clearly states "Not Looking" so it's obvious that some people just can't be bothered to read your profile before sending messages. Yeah! I know! Scammers laugh

Cranky_Geezer: I'm not looking for anything from anybody and conversely they shouldn't be expecting anything from me. Thus, I'll chat with most anyone (except obvious scammers) until we become friends, get bored, angry, or I detect unreasonable expectations.
That kind of levels it all out

Yeah I know! I ended up hiding my profile when I wasn't looking... for that very reason...

I hide my profile all the time but then I can't receive messages from friends. I got a message from CS the other day because I didn't have a photo of my face so it said my photo's would be deleted. I've seen loads of profiles that have photo's of flowers or whatever as their main photo and they're still here. I must have been reported rolling on the floor laughing bouquet

HologramLover: Most people just look at the PHOTO. If they think the person is HOT they will contact them. No one takes the time to read long profiles that look like the communist manifesto.
I always thought the communist manifesto was a short read hmmm writing
