Agreed. I'm here to meet new people, friends as well as possibilities for more, and am not by nature a trusting person, so I would prefer to read and learn as much about someone as I can before trying to develop any kind of rapport with them.

So does forum participation lead to profile reading?

Or does profile reading lead to forum participation?

I love the word ennui. Haha.

I read tons of profiles, but I'm pretty fascinated with the way that other people see things.

But I'm also active in the forums... so I can't solve the question motown poses.

I just like the pretty pictures, but alas, I am too lazy to nudge :P

At least you are honest about it

Honesty rules.

I'm dating somebody right now, but when I'm not, I prefer Dos Equis .... just kidding


For me, When looking at matches there has to be some sort of attraction regardless of what is written in the profile. There has to be something to catch my eye and I'm not talking cleavage. A look, facial expression or multiple expressions. Pictures and art says alot about who you are. A really catchy profile title helps alot as well!! When I read a profile, I'm trying to learn more about somebody I am already somewhat interested in. If I can respect what they are saying or they bring a smile to my face, I may send that inspiring lady an email letting her know.

We are all watching you now! No, I don't read profiles, I just look at the picture and nudge.
