I agree nobody reads profiles. Heck most don't even look at them before msgs. I've had so wanting saying how beautiful I am lol. I like to ask how they know that.


I laugh at (and then delete) the ones that say I have a beautiful smile....
Because, see...I am not smiling in my picture...laugh

Just had a guy on another site (where I have 3 pictures of myself posted) message me with:
"Plus cant tell much about you in the pictures you posted ."

Dude.
What more do you need?
I have a full body, a sort of close up fac pic, and the one that is on *here*...

If he can't tell what he needs to know from those...well...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
whoa

I am at the point of believing that all the studio-type photos are the scammers using fake images.

And anyone who calls me dear or darling or anything like that annoys me to no end.


ok well im definately not a scammer and i do have a studio pic in my profile but i also have other pics including a current pic.

Also Instead of being annoyed at what they are calling you instead be grateful that they are responding your profile.

What gets me is that by not reading my profile and only looking at the photo they can tell how smart I am.

And I don’t know about women but guys, please when I look at your photo I don’t want to look up your nose. Please hold the camera a little higher.

Yeah, for some reason "upnose" seems tpo be common... sick

I laugh when i get a message that says "you have such a beautiful smile/ sparkling smile."

Hoeny, I am not smiling in my picture...LOL

Or "you have beautiful eyes.."

I have on sunglasses, goober..try again...

Clearly they are scammers..

I think they have scripts to follow. And they don’t speak English and simply post. I consistently see the exact sa
Me grammatically responses to those

I think it's really common on dating sites for people to email
strictly because of a picture. If it irks you delete and move on.
As far as young "looki loo's" those are more than likely scammers,
however your a good looking guy and given your interest based on
your pictures and profile, I wouldn't be surprised if younger
women contact you, you seem like a fun guy. I do suggest you
edit your profile, you have several oopses (typos) other than that keep posting in the forums, it's a great way to get to know people waving biggrin

New on the site and do make my share of mistakes or is all my fault.
Open a search, scroll, see a promising headline, scroll to read more, o dear nothing and by all means there are almost nothing to fill in anyway so second opt to look at photos, yes/no

So do you even consider messaging a profile without information and only a few photos to go on. Maybe that's the gamble trough the dice.

However as I said am new there are a feature I noticed no one has on or doesn't know about. On the bottom of your edit profile under the tab about one can select: Show testimonials when other users view your profile? And Show your friends list when other users view your profile, isn't this a great tool to see before hand if it's a unwelcome profile?

Regarding yourquestion about "do you even consider messaging a profile without information and only a few photos to go on."....no, I don't..
because I haven't the first clue what, if anythig at all we'd have in common, so there's no reason to message them....
I mean, based on what?
That'd make about as much sense as dialing random numbers and hoping you get someone intersting on the phone...ohwell sick

As far as your last part about "testimonials" and "friends lists"..
I don't want to read someone's opinion on someone based on possibly a bad expareince where one or the other was having a bad day...
I mean..if I go to a restaurant and recieve shi**y service or the food is bad..I don't give a bad review...i wait and try a differemt time first...they could have been having problems in the kitchen or something, so i won;t base my opinion on a one-off bad experience.

Or maybe they are just trying to be a jerk....lots of those on these dating sites.
And, my friends on here are *my* business....not someone elses...

JMO...YEMV....
(just my opinion....your expereince may vary)

I just like licking the pictures.


me toolaugh








personally don't think that some read profiles ...
and go by pictures ...

or some think they can change your mind ...
and agree some just like doing it... to just do ...


its really who cares ... if they want conversation in message ...
then nothing wrong with that either ...
I believe I am pretty honest in my profile ...smile2

I don't read profiles all that often either, but it is because I'm more interested in the person behind the profile than reading a bunch of silly cliches and empty words that tell me nothing.

If somesone's profile is a canned, most likely copypasted "bunch of silly cliches and empty words" I am not interested in trying to get to know them..

Surely you (the *generic* you) could come up with *something* original.
"Walks on the beach"..when the nearest beach is 400+ miles away....and "loves to laugh"...
I mean..c'mon....whoa

used to say no one reads them but have since changed my mind

I get bored with mine and change it up

and I will say I sometimes do get responses

from men that have clearly read it
