Does anyone read people profiles

  Getting really sick of messages from people who either clearly haven’t read my profile or have but like what I’m about despite the fact they don’t match any of what I’m looking for and decide to try their luck anyway. It’s disrespectful and a waste of everyone’s time.

  No, many don’t read profiles. They send cut-and-paste messages to as many as their subscription will allow them.

  Its perfectly OK to ignore messages that are not a match with you. There are not set rules around this. "Loved your profile" = Give me a chance because I have sent you a message. It's kinda like fishing. Putting shitty bait out, to see who will bite. AKA No effort what so ever. Just seeking the thrill of a catch. Ms Foxy

  I would say it is a fairly common thing here. As so many are no doubt here just to get their rocks off. So sending messages even to those that don't match is just another attempt at that. Even if it is bad form. It is no doubt annoying, not that I have experienced it. Only frustration like that for me is having mostly males view my profile My advice is if they don't match just don't bother answering the message and accept that unfortunately this is going to happen here and on any other dating site :)

  My profile is set to be unviewable by couples and single guys. I still get the ‘I loved your profile’. Low effort people deserve no effort responses.

  Personally, I like to read profiles from top to bottom, sometimes several times before even attempting to send a message. I especially appreciate when someone includes a phrase like ‘use this word if you’ve actually read my profile.’ It’s a clever way to see who’s paying attention. As for the shotgun approach to messaging, I don’t think casting a wide net works well, especially in a community like this.

  You get those that don’t read the profile wording, presumably because it is too much trouble & effort. Then you get those who do, and who then ignore what you have written, disrespect your instructions, and go ahead a message you regardless, trying their luck just in case you change your mind and make an exception for them. The latter is worse, in our opinion.

  Many try regardless. I’ve found some who will just send a message as they like my pics but have not read my profile, Then others clearly not matching what I’m looking for message to see if they’re an exception to what I’ve written. It can leave me questioning what the point of writing anything is. But at the end of the day, if the message, they should realise there could be a high risk or being ignored or rejected

  bios are a better filter than pics Not just reading but comprehending them can be arousing act itself & gives a view into the future of eroticizing possibilities.

  Never. I’ve managed to automate the spray and pray method so I don’t even have to try anymore. I don’t see what all the fuss is about. In fact, this message is automated and I’m not even saying this. Or this. Or that.

  Probably also depends on how frequently someone updates their profile? If they have had it up for 5 years or more then maybe their tastes have changed but the profile hasn’t? How would you know if you don’t have a go? Having said that when you do find a well written profile and you send a well written introduction then the reader is probably more likely to want to respond as words are important to them and by taking the effort which they appreciate then a more positive response is likely. We have a couples profile with quite clear desires and boundaries however most messages are about my wife’s body… they are easy to filter out

  I’ve been talking to a lovely lady on here, and as someone who’s new, shy, and more comfortable face-to-face, the whole experience has made me think about perception vs. perspective. From my perspective, I’m single and curious, so clicking “interested” on a GB profile felt like looking in a door because your curious it was left open. From her perception, it looked like I hadn’t read her profile and wasn’t a match. It’s a good reminder that the same action can be interpreted in completely different ways. On apps, messages often go unread, and I don’t assume the worst—but others might. I believe most issues come down to communication. If we stay polite and curious, it’s easier to avoid misunderstandings. And if someone doesn’t seem like an obvious match, a simple question can clear things up: “Based on my profile, what made you think we would suit?”
