If some one made reference to the things in your profile, would you get
freaked out and think that they were up to something? or would it show
you that they understood what you put in your profile? What do you guys
think?

I would hope they took the time to think about what I said in the
profile and they were just responding to it.

I think it would be an innocent reference.

i think that is the whole point to a profile, otherwise all of our
initial e-mails would look the same and there would not be a way to
differentiate. how many e-mails would you like to get that said hi i
liked you're profile and would be interested in finding out more about
you. it would get boring after awhile .

hey dude, I don't know what color the sky is in your world but that
profile was put there to be public information
every time I e-mail, I have already read the intro, the profile, and any
mail that I may have had with that person before
I am into the deal just like a professional investigation
many times before I give an answer here I will go to a persons first
page as well as their profile just so I know who I am talking to,
howevewr I did not check yours, couldn't wait to answer

Good point King Breeze...it shows that they are paying attention.

Thanks guys i just wanted to see if people see the way i do, and they
do. The reason i asked is because i did that and got a little bit of a
strange responce, so thank you all.

I try to always put something into the email about there profile when
first contacting a person. I do not try to slant my likes/dislikes to
match their's. I even mention conflicts like type of music favorites and
such so they know up front something a bit deeper about me. Without
doing this on both ends you can not get a relationship over the net. You
have to communicate.

What kind of reference were they making about your profile? Were they
being degrading or did they sound like they were interested?

I think it's probably innocent like sage said. They probably just found
a point of intrest and wanted to start a conversation.

actually sage and nonuser, I was the one that made the reference to her
profile and got some what of a wierd reaction. She asked what i was up
to. but actually we continued talking and now we are trying to meet on
messenger but thank you all any way.
