I don't personally have any issues with "long-winded" profiles, as long as they're easy to read. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to squint through one half-page long run-on sentence with absolutely NOTHING for punctuation or paragraph spacing.

Exactly. If I didn't know better, some people weren't aware that their capslock button was on or something.

Mine's long-winded, b/c I HATE HATE HATE it when someone just browses through it then has the audacity to ask you, "So, tell me about you." Do you know how much TIME I put into my profile so you could SEE what I'm like in some respect? Take the time to READ it, and THEN ask me certain questions. Being vague just isn't going to cut it. And it's better to be verbose right from the start - none of this, "well, I'm really nice and I like long walks on the beach" stuff. My profile allows my personality to show!

For those who like short profiles, how short are you talking about?

no limit just say what is important and try not to ramble. That is where I get lost.

Every time I read a profile thread I second guess my own.....

I get about double the profile views when I use my foot or tattoo picture compared to my face. That's pretty embarrassing and funny at the same time! But it is proof that the picture is what draws people in.

Even funnier was when I made private every photo except my foot and ankle and got emails like "you sure don't look like a big girl to me". WTH?

I kind of like them on the longer side.....'cause I like to ramble about life, and usually if theirs are long, they do too.

I used to have an old profile that said I like to sneak up on people taking long walks on the beach and shove them into the water.

My profile looks long but that's only cause of my 2 joke lists on it.

Cliches are my biggest pet peeve, that and simple lists (makes me feel like I'm reading a resume). I find random usage of majiscule and miniscule lettering to be worse than all miniscule. sTUfF LIkE tHIs. I think kidnappers use lettering like that in ransom notes, I call it linguistic vomit cause reading it makes me nauseous.


More cliches:
I like having fun....wooo, you haven't described yourself at all, you've just defined the word fun (things you enjoy). If you enjoy punching yourself in the groin repeatedly...well, then you'd consider that fun even though most of us wouldn't.

I'm the guy your parents warned you about. My parents would warn my sister about rapists and serial sex offenders...so that's you huh?

I want to find someone honest....if I were a liar how do you think I'd answer this questions, genius?

You do have pretty toes..

What's important, though?

Something important to one person isn't going to be important to the next.

Yep and if they don't have the patience to read my profile then they certainly won't have the patience for me...

amen to that keith

While we're on the subject of profiles, I have a question. How many of you have ever asked to be rated under the Rate my profile board? I've never done that. Namely because I could not care less what anyone ever thought. I think long or short we all have them the way we want them.
