We prefer detailed profiles. Its a great initial insight into who people are and shows they have made an effort to explain what they’re truly looking for. There’s less chance of people under unintentionally wasting each other’s time too. - Posted from rhpmobile

Great profile! Long profiles.........People probably don't read the entirety and skip. But if they do, you're more likely to find a close match. Short profile.........There's evidence to suggest people just cant read, which can result in a waste of time. The above, i'm just assuming of course. At least you've taken the time to articulate your position clearly, and that's all that matters.

Thanks guys To us it just makes sense to be a little more detailed... Thanks also to B&M for chiming in. We sent you guys a couple of messages during the week and only got your auto reply. You reckon we could still be friends:-). 😂 - Posted from rhpmobile

Whilst I am (obviously) not a couple, I believe profiles and how they are designed are very much down to the individual/s. You can write a biblical, epic, tell-all that delves deep into you and your desires. Some people will take a cursory glance and go ''too long', whilst others will appreciate the depth. There are some that are on here to make a meaningful connection with others that hopefully involves a healthy dose of rumpy-pumpy - and there are others that are... ummmm... just down to fuck. Your profile is you, you have probably whittled it down (or the opposite) to what you think is a nice encapsulation of you. Others may feel that they have done the same, just with less. I am a great fan of Helen Razer, think she is a riveting writer and I love her varied viewpoints on things - yet she is oft criticized for taking 100 (very big) words to convey what she could otherwise similarly achieve in 20. I get exasperated with her ''I just ate a dictionary and a thesaurus for breakfast'' descriptions of how a bird just shat in her garden. My profile has been tinkered to and fro a few times over the years, yet it is now what I think is the simple message without being overly brief. I get some (but not much) attention for this. I could make it more mealy-mouthed, talk about how I like long walks on the beach and indie cinema (I don't and I don't), that could earn me more views and perhaps some more chat, but I really can't be arsed. And wow, I just realized that I have give a long-winded reply. What a hypocrite! Quite shameless really.

youngbrownguy There is clearly significant depth to your character. Do you waste much time hitting up people who aren't looking for what you're offering and say so in their description? Just wondering

Hi, I personally love reading a profile where thought has gone into it, it means that you know who you are, and what you want. I always read them, if there is nothing written or it's one of the automatic ones then it's an definite no from me, I wouldn't even keep them in mind as a possible for in the future. If they can't be bothered why should I? A well written profile with sexy pictures is always a winner 😁 - Posted from rhpmobile

10-15 minutes read should be enough. but 99% of the ppl give up reading after 30 second :D

Mark Twain once apologised for writing a long letter as he didn’t have time to write a shorter one. Just as much effort can go into short succinct profiles which are to the point and convey all the necessary messages. The trick is saying enough to incite interest .... - Posted from rhpmobile

Unless profile gives me creepy red flags in some way. I go on messages. That’s what makes me interested. But as you are a couple I think your needs/wants may be more specific and you have two people to consider. My profile used to be longer but I simplified it and TBH am getting more interesting replies. - Posted from rhpmobile

Is it length or girth that is important in profiles? The length of it or how much information one has in a few short words? As they say, it is how you use it that is important. Sorry ... couldn’t help myself. In a silly mood and saw the question about how long is too long. And your profile is great - very clear on who you are and what you are looking for. Best of luck with it all.

Paints a good picture of you both and what you are looking for. Mine is a bit wordy as well but trying to describe yourself, what you are look for in few short lines, doesn't give people much of an impression. For blokes with so much competition on here, I think you have to at least provide some insight to yourself. I've tried short and I've tried more detailed, but I have had more active interest (flirts and messages) when the wording has been a bit more detailed.

Everyone is looking for information just enough to decide next step. Any more information has diminishing returns. Most people have basic criteria of physical attraction..anything else is bonus and the need of bonus varies a lot from person to person. Profile should be just long enough to be able to get attention from wanted members. Where as it is possible to provide more information to check compatibility. Beyond a limit people want to meet and check further. They don't want you to tell who you are...they want to make own assessment of you by meeting you. There is no doubt you have made effort in your profile. However does a long profile necessarily means more personalized and relevant to the purpose? Like many here say we are after quality not quantity.. (BTW we are greedy people we want both) The bottom line is if your profile is giving you desired results then it is the best profile for you. English is not my native language nor I am anyway great in my language. I can't comment about some aspects. My style is to only provide quantitative and logistic information with a touch of qualitative information. For example I will tell what is my height, what time I am free, and a bit about what I am good at. But it is really up to others to meet us and make own assessment. Here is another example. I can write in my profile I have two legs of same size. This is definitely not a template style. It will be a personalized style but useless information. Here is another example..if you write you are honest and not pushy even if in your own style. Significant population makes similar claims. Does it really make you stand out? I doubt. The information in profile should be as unique as possible without violating your public privacy. The bottom line will be always if your profile is working for you that only you know. Then it is the best profile for you. Members who have liked our profile have been much more then some who have told us they didn't like at all. Our profile works for us and that is what matters to us. It is that simple.

Going by the fact 90% of the messages I receive are from people who clearly didn't read the last 2 paragraphs. - Posted from rhpmobile

I think you guys have a great profile, and it's well worth the read. I think having such good detail will help you find the right couple and single lady. As for single guys, they'll probably message no matter what you write, if they bother to read it at all!

If I’m enjoying the profile I’ll stick about for half an hour....if it’s just mindless dribble about nothing and it’s less than engaging, I’ll be outta there quicker than the contents of ones bowels after a dodgy vindaloo 😂😂

I use people’s profiles to work out whether or not they can spell and use correct grammar. That helps me work out the type of person they are which can be very insightful. - Posted from rhpmobile

Dont read long profiles all about themselves. Much prefer short and quirky. How a few sentences are written can sa a lot about a person/couple. 😁 - Posted from rhpmobile

It's a fine line between quirky and full of shit.Sometimes it takes a well-tuned bullshitometer to tell the difference. Other times it's obvious.

Is a huge turn off. I also think they can’t be bothered. What else are they going to find too hard. - Posted from rhpmobile

I think they should be like a published science journal (sorry for being nerdy, but stick with me)... if the title catches you, you read more. If it’s too long you read the first few lines, then speed read the middle and read the last few lines. Make it like a succinct abstract- condensed with everything in one paragraph (even if you start long and then butcher it down from the fluff) And a picture tells a thousand words - not one that is censored and can’t be seen. ...and then it’s just a work in progress, - Posted from rhpmobile
