I'm not sure if this will be moved, as I'm not actually asking for my profile to be rated. But, because so many people who ask to have their profiles rated don't have much in them to start with, I thought that if others gave ideas of what they look for, it might help.

So, when you look at profiles, what do you want to see? What attracts you? What makes you contact someone?

What turns you off? What makes you move to the next profile immediately?

I like trolling, er, I mean, browsing the pictures and if I see the interesting or 'maybe' one, I will see if there are more pics of them.

I then scroll down to make sure they have no kids at home.

If they are around my age, I will read some of the profile and if something clicks, I'll send a polite note on what I may have seen.

PS
That was a nice song, btw.

Sing Me Sweet? I'm guessing that's the song you're talking about. Yes, it's a good one!

Thanks for the response as well.

Me, I want to see a short write up on the person. I hate people that just put in one liners. I want to know if you are the type to go out or be a homebody for example. Want to see some of your interests like camping, cycling, etc. Of course a picture would be nice.

Will I get slapped down if I say it???

Naw.....

I'll wait n let .....JT say it!!!



as for me.....
I look for something thats gives away the.....underlying truth about them.
I also like the....
Pictures!!!

What kind of things give away underlying truth about someone in a profile?

Too bad the thread got moved. I had a feeling it might, but I thought having it in that particular section would help those who are asking for their profiles to be rated. Hopefully they'll take a look here!

Just little things.
If a profile sparks an interest in me....I will look for them in the forums and pay attention to things they post.
Compare with things in profile.
Gives a sense of who they are and what they are about!!

At times, I contact people just to welcome them to this site.
At times, I contact people to privately respond to something said in a forum.

What about a profile makes you contact or not contact someone?

At times, the decision is made for me because of what another's mail settings are.

I look for clues in a person's profile which indicate that the person would react negatively to me.

If I am simply responding to something said in a forum, then it usually doesn't matter what the person's profile says, because my message to the person is a supportive one. I use private messaging to lift people up, not to tear them down.

Right now, I am not sending private messages in order to find a girlfriend. Thus, distance isn't an issue.

As a rule, I limit my private messaging to women only. That way nobody mistakenly believes that I am homosexual.

I was asking about profiles specifically, since this thread was about profiles :).

You mean if I message women, they may think I'm homosexual?

no. that is no. any confusion there?

anyway, to answer the question. If a profile is for casual encounters, the man is married, or has no info - says something like "if u wanna know more, just ask" Please bore me.


photos with him with other women (I don't care who they are - take a moment to produce a half decent photo)

men who say their kids "always" come first - I will move one

also I look for similar interests and humor and a man who is not wanting to ahve kids as I cannot have children

i'm a big supporter of more cleavage

No surprise there.

hey if ya got'em,flaunt'em

thanks jt!
