Why do people not read profiles? (44)
profiles are like 30 second TV/radio adverts... it only reveals what we ourselves want to portray.
Whereas, in forums, such as this one more can be learned.
By ones candor and opinions on so many topics, you know the types i refer to...the Yes folks, those argumentative types, those "suck up" types and the delusional types.
Yeah, profiles show what you think of yourself, but words are one thing and actions and responses to questions and/or issues speak way louder than a personal"pick me" ad.

DazzleYou: My profile says this.....
"I am not interested in a relationship at this time. If you just want to talk as friends, great. But I am exploring a relationship with someone at the moment."That is pretty clear isn't it? I have gotten 4 messages in the last 24 hours of ladies wanting to "get to know me." All of them are legit I believe - not spam bots.
So what gives?

Well, if they knew how much ER docs made, they would know that there are a lot better people out there. I do fine, but not as if I had my own practice. I am still working for the man so to speak.

Possibly because there are many ignorant women about who struggle to form a sentence let alone bother to read profiles.

But, what says they are after anything beyond what you yourself say you'd be open to? Talk as friends?
Maybe there was more in the emails, and it's none of my business what was in them, but "get to know me" doesn't mean more than get to know me in my book.

I have women who approach me and just like the odd two, three-email exchange and that's it. They say they've laughed when reading the profile, and that's basically as far as it goes.

Very true--I have done that more than once-think I have even responded to ppv's profile-lol-but mean nothing by it other than to compliment someone or there sense of humor-values or opinions..

I could not agree more with your opinion. It is so true that the majority of us have an enhanced self image, but no capacity to resonate with the natural, real environment of every day life.
Sometimes only a picture, if is real, can tell more then a profile.
How would you spot out very fast if some one's picture and profile is fake, before you get sucked in?

jbibiza: Yes, darling... you are! The majority of letters or flowers we get are from people who have never bothered to look at our profile, both men and women ... they´re breezing through pictures, see something they like and out goes their message or flower.
I always go to my "who´s viewed me" when I receive mail or flowers and on average about 1 in 17 have actually viewed my profile. People seem to play a game of numbers... send out 20 and maybe one or two will respond.

How one comments provokes me to check out their profile, then theres the thumb print image... sometimes I just need more clarity in what I'm viewing.

You are soooooo right. A good portion of my mail comes from men who have never read my profile and don't come into the forums.
I get mail about wanting to marry me and can't wait to make a life with me and can't wait to have children
. Good Lord, if they had read my profile they would know I am VERY happy living alone and will NEVER EVER get married again. I just send a polite message back asking them to please read my profile and that seems to work.------ This thread is Archived ------

You're barking up the wrong tree, bloke... unfortunately here in the States, terms like "ignorant", "dummy", and "stupid" are taken as compliments, not insults. Chalk it up to the overwhelming presence of Homo estupidus DNA in our population.
Besides, anyone can be anything they want to be in an online profile... what man alive hasn't posted a fake one where he pretended to be a woman?

I find it really amusing that a guy on a "dating" site would post something like that.... I´m sure his flower box must be bursting!
