I've seen some profiles that are so short and like a shopping list and I wonder why take the time to join this site if you are not going to let people know who you are. I am sure these people (men) in my case can't be as boring as they sound.

hi...S/W.....what do you exspect....a full life history...50...odd pages......that may be a load of bull anyhow...
For some, I believe they want to get on here and get started -- not wanting to be bothered with "details". For others, like the scammers/fakers/posers - they write way way too much, about themselves, their kids and families and things. Then when the emails come, they contain part of what is on their profile, exactly as it is written.
I prefer to know a little about a guy from his profile, but more can come from chatting. A man with nothing much in his profile could also have something to hide!

Well, if it took time to do that, they might be past it by the time they wrote an essay.
(Some like 'em long, some like 'em short, some like 'em inbetween).

You don't have my reasons in your poll choices so I'll tell you why my profile is short. I feel that a lot people can make up their mind with a few pictures and a few sentences targeting the overall personality to decide whether or not they want to get in touch. We all know the "First Impression" rule and while it might not seem fair, it is nonetheless a factor to meeting someone and it usually makes itself known within the first minute (if not 30 seconds), and that minute isn't enough to read a pageful of small unbroken writings (SC doesn't allow a new line so all the sentences and words mash with each other, it's actually quite messy...) and appreciate the photos and whatnot before First Impression sets in. Also, I have had different kinds of profiles. Some were long and very detailed, some were medium with some details and some like the one I have now on CS and my conclusion is this: Long detailed profile = 50% chance of connecting. Short brief profile = 50% chance of connecting. So the old adage still holds true: it's not the length of it, it's how you use it that counts

Some people may just not know what to say...
me too. I don't want to read "I am caring, loving, can cook, like music, like going to the beach, blah blah etc etc" I will find out myself from exchanging emails or chatting. what I like in a man is never is anyone's profile anyway ...

You forgot that those scammers have to make so many profiles they just ran out of imagination.

That's why they use so many 'form letters', Bro! That way, just a couple of clicks and there's their response. That's why they're easy to spot. Well, at least for me, they are. If they don't speak the language they claim to speak, that's the biggest giveaway of all. Me hope to you be understand me what write, for example! And these people make money doing that!?!? Unbelievable! Maybe they should hire Shakespeare's monkey!

The shorter the better. Good pictures and essential information is important though.
