    Serious question, what do ladies look for in a profile around here? I like that I can read all of the profiles regardless of what gender I’m looking for, but that doesn’t really tell me who is successful and who isn’t. So, what are the secrets to writing a good profile?

    Personally, I look for a profile that is more than a couple of sentences long, non-sexual in it’s content and tells me about the person – their likes/dislikes, rough idea of what they look like, relationship status and what they are looking for. By that I mean a relationship or casual meets. If it says anything along the lines of “just want a pair of tits to suck on” it’s an instant block.

    That’s fair, even as a guy, I find a lot of the “I wAnT b00Bz” personals to be a bit creepy.

    Well then guys. Riddle me this. Does it really matter what we write? 90% of the time mine is not read and I keep having to deny people and that’s rough to do because I don’t want to hurt anyone, but if they had read my profile, they wouldn’t have messaged me in the first place. My profile is clear and concise but it doesn’t matter. So please explain, I would love to know from mens side

    Ah! Now that I can speak to. I treat criteria as a set of soft limits most of the time, not hard limits.

    Generally I try to avoid messaging people whose criteria I can’t fit, but if, for example, somebody looks good on paper but has the wrong age limit, I might message anyway. It is always worth trying, and if you meet enough of the other criteria, they might make an exception and reply. It is really hard for even the person setting limits to know which combinations they can put up with and which they can’t until they have been battle-tested.

    It’s true in the other direction as well. I usually have a policy of “no religious fundamentalists”, but the longest relationship I’ve had was with a strong spiritualist. She was otherwise very socially liberal, so I figured it might be worth bending my own rule just that one time.
