None, unless they were in the forums and said something I wanted to comment on.

Think about it this way. When you meet someone in your everyday life do they have an essay following them around for you to read before you decide to say hello? You do have a point, but at the same time, that's kinda the deal with this online community stuff...right? Only for those that wish to use their computer screen as a cloak of anonymity. |

I'd respond to the initial email, however if they still had nothing to say, it wouldn't last long. But you would not be sending out the initial e-mail, would you? |

This isn't quite the same as meeting someone while you're out somewhere. Why even be here if you're not going to put any effort into putting up a picture and at least something in your profile? |

Here's what I think and some of you might not like it, but tough...
If I was to set my profile up that way, I'd be very surprised if I got any response at all. If I did get a response, I'd think it was from someone who was desperate for something, sex, love, money, or whatever. |

This isn't quite the same as meeting someone while you're out somewhere. Why even be here if you're not going to put any effort into putting up a picture and at least something in your profile? My profile is pretty full, but there are those people who prefer not to give out details to just anyone. Do they not deserve a chance to meet someone just because they don't want the whole world to know that they like certain things and dislike others? I understand what you guys are saying but perhaps these people are making themselfs known more through the forums and private e-mails than through thier profiles. (just a thought) |

(just a thought) If they're on a site like this, they have to kind of expect not much response if they put no effort into anything. No one is under an obligation to contact anyone here, or respond to anyone here. |

I understand what you guys are saying but perhaps these people are making themselfs known more through the forums and private e-mails than through thier profiles. (just a thought) It's a valid point, and I agree with the basic premise -- you will generally find out a LOT more about a person in the forums than you ever will in what is (usually) a static, unchanging, vapid and useless profile. The problem is that not everyone posts in the forums. In fact, I would guess that something fewer than 10% of the members here EVER post in the forums -- that's not based on anything other than observations and hunches, but -- it does lead to a lot of situations where the profile is the ONLY way to know anything about someone. And if they don't put any information in there.... |

And if they don't put any information in there.... Good point. I haven't been here very long and I have noticed that it's mostly the same people in the forums on a day to day basis. Perhaps these people will realize one day that they need to be more like an open book. |

Here's what I think and some of you might not like it, but tough... If I was to set my profile up that way, I'd be very surprised if I got any response at all. If I did get a response, I'd think it was from someone who was desperate for something, sex, love, money, or whatever. I guess I should clarify that I'm not really looking so I don't search out people.  but if they email me or I see them in forums I will email |

If I had a blank or almost blank profile and never posted, would you e-mail me? |

If I had a blank or almost blank profile and never posted, would you e-mail me? Possibly even more to the point: would you even know that person existed, in order TO e-mail them? Let's face it, if you're not in the forums, how is anyone going to know you're here? Unless you turn up in a search, a Mutual Match, or they're specifically looking for you already.... |

If there is nothing in their profile, no picture and they didn't post in the forums, I'd have no idea what to say to them in a first email.

About as likely as I am to contact the guy that sent this initial contact: "i love sweaty hot love on the hill under the stars upon us" What bothers me is that this must have worked for him in the past. |

So other that Yellowrose's natural curiosity, what would motivate someone to write to this "blank?" nothing really other than that I guess. just to learn more about someone and maybe find out why it's blank. I have actually talked to some that said they just started and wasn't sure if they would like the site so they didn't put much effort in it....then they update it with more about them after. but it's usually just curiousity |
