Please read my profile


It is something we see on a lot of profiles to Please Read My Profile. But have you ever considered how problematic that can be and the hypocrisy of some?

Now before I give my thoughts let us agree that there are people who do not read the profiles. This applies to Gold members who clearly have the opportunity to read the profile at some point.

First, standard members will NOT be able to read a profile. At best they will get a thumbnail that might give one paragraph at best. So any disqualifying information in your profile has to be in the first paragraph to have any chance of even being partially read.

Next, if you are accessing FriendFinder-x on a mobile device, you cannot see the preferences or a full description. I blame FriendFinder-x for this (one of many problems on this website). I will<b> switch </font></b>to the web version when I can to read the profile before considering replying.

But I think an overlooked item here is that the person asking you to read her profile HAS TO READ YOUR PROFILE AS WELL!! What do I mean by that?...

I came across a profile that I liked so I emailed the member, told her I liked it and would be open to chatting (She is a Gold member). She responded asking my name and what was I looking for? Now I really think my profile clearly defines my purpose here but for the sake of conversation I answered her questions briefly then asked her for her name and what she was looking for? Care to guess her response? Please read my profile.

I told her I thought it was hypocritical to ask me to read her profile (which I did) when she clearly did not read mine. I also told her I answered her questions thinking she wanted to have a conversation and thought she should have given me the same opportunity and that her name is not in her profile. I know double standards exists her but it is still irritating when it happens.

So I know it is unlikely anything will change but it does not hurt to state Real Thoughts
