Can a long profile be too boring to read?

July 05 2018

Sorry if this topic has already been posted several but I think that many men have the same issue with attracting attention of potential partners. With a very large male/female ratio, standing out is obviously a priority. I have included in my profile what I believe to be details about myself with photos that seem ok and I always add more details in messages I send to women or couples, depending on what I can think of in the moment. I manage to keep an element of "surprise" that is not mentionned in my profile somehow. Still, this does not prove successful, meaning a low to very low "return on investment" so to say (not very elegant and sexy way to put it I agree) and makes me wonder what is/are the wrong thing/s with my profile and what could be improved. I am not only looking for women's feedback, anyone's is welcome as we are all at different learning stages of the best way to introduce oneself. In my case, I believe an issue is the length of my profile and the fact that it could read a bit pedantic. I've looked at other men's profile, it tends to be much shorter, but I always believed that women don't mind doing a bit of reading. However, if they receive a lot of solicitations, they may not spend the time to read the whole lot? Or do they look at the pics first and then read the profile? Obviously, it's different with every woman. I cannot do much about the photos though, it's just me, often with a smile on. Thanks for taking the time to read this long post and giving me some feedback. O.

    Aren’t about length....they’re about the personality that’s writing them... No different to a book writer or a newspaper article.. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Old age size debate? 😉. There’s no one size fits all. We all look for different things when perusing people’s profiles. Be articulate, be polite, be able to form sentences - remember it’s a persons/couples first insight into you so think about how you want to come across. Whether it be short or long is then up to you. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Dont see anything wrong with your profile. Imagine it's just the laws of ratios and attraction in here. Maybe it's just my cynical nature that the post here coincides with your trip to Brisbane for some response from the locals

    I've made comments before on this subject. Long-winded profiles scream "I'm perfect" & "I'm not settling for anything less than my idea of perfect" **News Break: No-one is perfect. No-one What is wrong with a clear photograph or two (from THIS decade!), tick a few boxes and a few words that give us a hint of your personality. If I like what I see, this is where I'd introduce myself in the hope of learning more. This is the perfect profile, to my mind. It's like how we might meet at an outing, where you get to look at one another, learn a little about them and decide then if you'd like to take things further. Beautiful. Thrilling. Exciting... But, if that person you've introduced yourself to begins by telling you everything they want in a partner and then by telling you why they are so deserving, are you gonna stick around? Not this cat.... We all deserve the right partner, but some humility and acceptance of our imperfections (& excitement at learning about someone new) should lead to a better outcome.

    I am into reading but a long profile at times will turn me away from reading. Shorten it instead of lots of sentences use just one word description. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Personally I like a profile that shows that the person writing it has put in an effort. If people don't want to read all of it they can skim read or just look at the pretty pictures. I'm more likely to skip over a profile if there is very little information about a person, and if you can show that you can put a sentence (or several) together then that's a big tick in my book. I guess, just with all things in life, what will be a turn on for some will be a turn off for others. I figure if you're true to yourself then you'll attract like-minded people. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Thanks for all your critical constructive feedback, I've taken some on board. Agreed that content matters more than length. I've added a short version of my profile to the long one, to fit most tastes. - Posted from rhpmobile
