I just found out a couple weeks ago that there is a point where, if I keep adding stuff to the top, the bottom part goes away. So there IS a limit. This saddens me!



I was actually thinking about writing parts of it in Russian (I took it in high school) just to see if anyone would notice!



It's actually much easier to do a profile, even a long one, than a 460-page book, I know that much!



These things happen....! I know a little about that myself (from the other side....!)



I would like to think she could. From a more practical standpoint. I would have to wonder how many men would take the time to read the whole thing.

"If I keep sticking my foot in the crocodile's mouth, one of these times he isn't going to bite it."

But, see, nobody explained that part to HIM....



Well, you can't blame a guy for trying....!

No worries sweets .. long or short, good or bad .. they usually don't read them anyway. Trust me on this.

Go for it. I am on my 4th year of Russian in college and I even get to practice it when I visit Atlantic City. I have some Russian girlfriends there. I'm pretty good at both speaking, reading, and writing Russian (and French). Those were a few of the facts that I edited out of my profile when I shortened it. Friends told me I sounded too snobby.

At the dating site I was on prevously I had a note 3/4ths the way down my profile stating that if a guy didn't mention the word "pineapple" in his message to me then I would not respond to him. Most guys didn't mention it because they didn't read that far I am assuming.


edited to put an extra "o" in "too"

The consensus around here seems to be that guys just look at pictures and ignore anything written. I can't really speak to that -- I need content and substance, and that's inevitably more of a "word" thing than a pic thing -- for me, anyway.

I look at Mutual Match candidates every day, and some of them have great pics -- but the profile snippets are so gawdawful lifeless and boring that I have to click NO regardless. Too much experience with the ever-so-cute but ever-so-brainless fluffballs, I guess....and it seems every girl within 250 miles of me is using the exact same profile. And it's not a good one.

Physical attraction is a huge thing, sure -- but if she bores me to tears after a few months -- the standard scenario -- it doesn't matter how great she looks.

So it wouldn't surprise me if most guys never got to that part of your profile. And that really tells you all you need to know!

it does not answer the question of how many ascii characters are required to overflow the mingle2 profile buffer!!

Lex? are you bogging down the server?

I've been trying, but they keep upgrading it. Now they've done something to where my profile can only be so long before the bottom part starts to disappear. It's a conspiracy.

I am not entirely sure about that mutual match thing. I don't know exactly what it does or if I trust it.

I didn't notice it until a few hours ago (it's only my 3rd day here). Right now it says I have 116 people on it.

Is that number for real? Does the mingle2 computer just throw up random guys profiles for me to rate? Where did these guys come from and how did they get on my mutual match list? What happens after I rate them?

I read the link about mutual matches but it seems not to apply to mine. I can't believe 116 guys have added themselves to my list. Even MY heads not THAT big.

Just click "YES" when my face arrives. Everything else is gravy.

I can't because.....

1: In order to get to you I have to click yes, no, or maybe, to dozens of other guys. It's too much work and I'm afraid if I click yes 116 times my mailbox will break. If I click no 116 times I will have 116 angry forum stalkers.

2: You live in Florida and you are 40 years old. I live in Pa and I am only 22.

3: We already exchanged multiple messages. WTF do you need a mutual match for?

4: You're too nice.

And I havn't mutual matched with her yet!

Her profile's cool and she's beautiful; I'm just waiting for her to message me!!!

Hey at least she hit you guys back,

Thank you

You are closer to my age but still you are from LaGrange Ga.

However, although I live in Philadelphia I was born in good ol Columbus Ga. I use to live on Warm Springs Road near Peach Tree mall.

I think I saw you in the mall once.

ummmmm dude....your message to me was only one word and it actually wasn't even a word. "pppppssssssttttt" WTF is that?

Even your message headline wasn't a full word. ha ha

I can get that from walking by a construction site.

I can't because.....

No worries about that. Mutual Match won't show them who clicked " No " on them. It only shows anything at all if there is a " Yes " or a " Maybe click on their profile.

If he clicks " Yes " but you click " No "....he'll never know it.

well amanda i also like item #12 in your interests list

Lol, I dunno, I just moved here last year from Illinois and havn't hit on any women here.

Thanks for the info but....

.... doesn't the mutual match function tell you when two people click yes to each other? In that case a guy will know that I clicked "no" because of the fact that he has not received a "yes" from me.

Maybe I'll just close my eyes and click maybe 116 times.

are we there yet?

don't make me have to stop this car

edit for this....

Oh snap...I JUST received another message from a guy without a shirt on. It says right at the top of my profile to have your shirt on before you message me.

Damn.....he didn't even read the First Line

What makes you so sure it was me in the first place? I just viewed your profile on here a couple times and thought highly of you. I figured I'd aat least come out and be sweet.

Are you talking about me saying that I think I saw you in the mall? You do know I was kidding, right?
