As I have tried several different sites in the past, and looked through
countless peoples profiles, this question occured to me one day, and I
propose it to you now. When writing your profile, do you aim to make
the profile as inclusive to as many types of people as possible or as
exclusive to the things you like/expect as possible? And why have you
chosen that particular route?

It always surprised me to read profiles that seemed to leave everything
open such that almost anyone might be induced to reply. For me, it was
always an attempt to exclusify; to narrow the margin such that at least
some people will look at the profile and say, "Nope, not that one.."

I'll be the first to say I dont know which is right and I could play
devils advocate on either side, so im interested in hearing some others
opinions.

I JUST MAKE SURE THAT ANY ONE READING MY PROFILE KNOWS THAT SEX IS MY
MAIN GOAL THAT WAY THEIR NOT SUPRISED WHEN THEY CONTACT ME

and I would consider that completely acceptable also.. the only source
of pain in those types of relationships is when one person
misunderstands the nature of the relationship, so its best to get that
out up front.

patb,
it depends on what you want.
do you want to meet lots of people or do you have an idea of who you'd
get along with?

you'd get what you're looking for...

if you're looking for specific people and your profile states that, it
might take longer to find someone, but it'd be someone that fits your
criteria and you'd waste less time.

do you agree?

I know that I agree with you andreww38. It would take alot longer to
find what your looking for if your profile is left open for just
anybody. There will be alot more people that you will have to narrow
down to find that right one. On the other hand, maybe that is what
people with an open profile want, to meet alot of people or, just
looking for sex or, maybe open profiled people are just desperate to
find some one, and are willing to work with who ever answers thier
profile. Their are alot of different variations, and alot of different
people out there. Personally I think that your profile should be at
least a little specfic. If not for you then for others.

Good topic. I wrote the little i did with how i felt in mind. I guess
its to narrow down who i would get on with.

yea, I would have to say I agree with you andrew, I was really just
interested in getting different peoples perspectives on why they chose
the route that they did. Obviously, anyone looking at my profile now
would see i;ve chose the open route this time.. guess I figured I'd try
something new for a change.

this site is to make friends only.there is nothing wrong with
that.everybody is so spread out or a fake.but i look at it as away to
make friends and to see what other people think about different
topics.not bad.we can never have enough friends

I totally agree with you guys. It blows my mind how many men send me
naked pictures and just "hi lets do it" line LOL. I keep thinking one
of us is on the wrong site lol.

ruewen,
is it any wonder at the amount of attention you're getting?

with a nice profile photo, a slender body type, 5'5'' height...
i think the deal sealer is your red hair!

you see, i NEVER have that problem!!!

lol@happyme. At least you're straight to the point. No surprises.

Keep smiling Andrew and you may get some msgs' :-) Dont understand me
wrong. This was just a joke. I love your sense of humor.
