| What is the use in reading the profiles if when you do respond to one that catches your attention she or he blows you off.

| Personally, I read every profile before I even think to correspond.
First, they have to be attractive to me. If they're not, I move on.
Second, If they are attractive, I read their profile to determine "if" we might have something in common. If so, I write a few lines. If not, I do NOT waste their time of mine.
As far as what to write:
Hi, I notice you (pick one) ride horses, are a CPA, are twins, like the Boston Red Sox, Kayak, are a teacher, volunteer at the soup kitchen. Me too. If my profile is of interest, drop me a line, If not, best of luck in your search.
Short and simple.Don't write a novel or complain. If she is interested, she may drop you a note, if not, she probably won't. But you've only invested a minute or two to read a profile and written 2-3 lines. Please don't tell me that is too much effort to exert.
Most women can't stand the UNimaginative line, "Hi, how are you" or "You're hot or so pretty". A good portion of the women don't like winks because it shows someone is too lazy to read a profile.
As a courtesy, I try to reply to anyone who has MADE AN EFFORT TO ACTUALLY READ and MENTION something about my profile. I try to be respectful. However, it may only be,
Thanks for reading my profile and your email. I've read your profile and though you seem like a great guy I don't see the connection OR the chemistry is not there for me. I do wish you much success in finding a great lady. Regards,

| Sorry sugar but the USA is all about personal freedom and choice.
It sucks yeah but in truth - would you want her if she didn't want you?
Don't take it personally...

| Actually I think reading profiles gives an insight along with forum posts into that person.
Also I tell people right on my profile I may not get back to you for few days. Due to the heavy volume. Don't be discouraged if she hasn't responded. Aslo if it has been read, since I will do that on one that takes some time to think of a great answer to.
Just keep looking and searching, I am sure she is out here for you
good luck

| Well i agree with you on this one, I have this happen to me alot also. yeah i hate reading people's profiles and it says everything good about them and that they would give anyone a chance and the minute you write them they never write you back. Well theres a reason for that and that reason is that person isn't real, they are fake. Just like alot of of women say they like nice guys but always ends up with an idiot lol.

| I so agree, I am what I am--if I write to you it's because there was "something" there whether it is written or a pic and wanted you to know. Doesn't mean I want to jump your bones or marry you.

| I always read the profile. If she blows me off, she does. Her perogative. But, if I don't read the profile, I may bark up the wrong tree more often.

| Profiles tell a little bit about a person but the forums you learn more on their interests and views on subjects. My profile isn't the best I'll admit but it goes straight to the point of what I am NOT interested in.

| I think alot of em just look at pics and make their descision. Sometimes I don't make it thru the entire profile, something turns me off.

| You better read the profiles before responding. You'll have a better chance of getting a response if you include a comment about something they said in their profile.
Reading the profile may also save you from finding yourself in bed with a woman that is really a man. It would really be a bad deal to date someone and find out that they are not what you thought they were. Especially if she/he had the info in their profile to begin with.
Just consider it a good investment.
Don't worry if you get blown off. Just keep on clicking!
