When viewing a profile, what do you initially look at and what is the deicider in replying? Photo or written text?
Being a female - I read the text
However based on emails I get - blokes just look at the pictures rolleyes

I hear ya hunni :roll:
I take in the whole thing. If the text doesn't sound right but the pictures are ok or vice versa, I don't bother to go any further. The same as if the profile is jam packed with cock shots, he's either full of himself or he's got a face like the arse end of a bus :giggle:
To me, what they say is more important than what they look like but an overall view is best
has to be a combination... had great shots ( that turn out to be at LEAST 5 yrs out of date...or was that 5 stone??? anyway.) or some great pictures true to ife with the personality of a brick!
Give a combo between the 2... end of the day for me, its instict, you just seem to sniff out a dodgy on.

Ditto the whole thing........
I do like to see pictures, but it has to go with the text and look genuine. It is sad if people use pictures that are very out of date.
As a bloke pictures stand the ad out before anything else, they don't have to be shots of fannys or tits either.
Both for us also

I all ways look a the text first, I find it a good way of gauging people, as you can all ways tell the people who have taken there time to think about what to put

Exactly the same as when Ian buys me a Birthday/Christmas/Anniversary card. He walks into the garage to pay for fuel and thinks "thats a nice picture, it'll do" :roll:
We go for text first- anyone who can't string a senence together or writes in "text speak" gets binned!

Agree with you totally there. Need the profile text to be literate before we would even consider going any further. We like someone to have brains as well as a body wink
Have to agree though, by the number of totally unsuitable 'straight' people that contact us, a lot of people really must just look at the pictures (and we are talking couples as well as males here :shock: )
I'll admit I look at pics 1st however if the text is wrong then thats it no E-mail from me.
Really both need to be right before I would think of contacting anyone.
well profiles arent the decider for me its adverts it seems like now the profiles can have text the line is blurring.
to me the profile is the cafe & the advewrts are for people who want to meet up
so i look at the profile to see if they have an advert what their age & location is & the photos too
for me........
location is important
age is important
nice words in the text & ad is important- not pushy aggressive unimaginative desperate
photo- for me crotch shots alone suggest a lack of sexual imagination & personality. It just shouts to me that foreplay will be soley a blow job which is what i find with single guys at clubs sometimes. I have to ASK for oral sex :shock:

Now believe it or not I always read the message inside the card....
With regards to ads well..................
First thing I look at is the picture and hopefully there is a shot by which you can gain a general assumption of what the person looks like overall....I really like to see a face above all else.....
I understand that many people will not have face pics in general view and that is fine as they can be swapped in due time...
If the pics grab my attention(and I dont just mean a huge pair of tits and all kind of action shots) then I will progress to read the text very carefully as I need to see what that person is looking for and if I may be suitable or if what they want doesnt excite me(some people have certain needs/wants that arent the sort of thing that excites me)..
If the pics are ok and the text isnt then its a no go and if the pics are no good but the text is then its a maybe as I said previously my main proirity is a face pic....I recently spoke with a cpl who sent me all manner of action shots and even changed clothes during the evening to take some special pics just for me but they were not willing to send me a face pic ( I had already sent them mine) so it was a no go for me....
Probably why I (up to yet) havent had a lot of sucsess with my men seeking ads but I will not move the goal posts to accomodate anyone.....I have criteria and they will remain in place.....
I believe first and foremost you have to be true to yourself in deciding what you want and stick to your guns as only then will you be truly happy...
Sorry if any of this upsets/enrages anyone but thats simply howI feel and everyone is different.....thankfully........otherwise it would be pretty boring wouldnt it....
We can't post face pics on here but have no problem exchanging them privately...if anyone refused to send face pic privately then there's no way we could meet them...that would just be too weird. rolleyes
we wouldnt meet anyone that we havent seen in some way or the other, ie pic or cam. but its also nice to see that someone has put some time into writing there profile..ill just have to check mine now..
grrr double post

He does too kiss
I am the same as Steve, I like to look at the pics and from that I can gleam some sort of idea if they are what I am looking for, then I read the text.
We both have criteria that we stick to, if it means we miss out on meeting people then so be it. :cool:
