What is it about a profile that catches your eye?

27 Jun 2010

We get lots of posts in here asking for help and advice on profiles/adverts and how best to maximise opportunities on the site.
I have been thinking today about what it is about a person's profile, advert or general online interaction which makes me interested enough to contact them.
For me it's a few things: usually I spot them in the forum or in their adverts (as I peruse the adverts in a Mod capacity pretty often) so it's quite often their turn of phrase which gets me hooked. If they make me smile - or even laugh - with a bit of wry humour then yep, they're likely to go into my Favourites folder for a look at later.
If that is then supplemented by a look I like, then I'm fairly certain to make the first move and drop them a line.
I rarely look at location etc as I am prepared to travel a fair distance if someone pushes all the buttons so I leave that for later consideration.
What catches your eye?

Posting in the forum, I will sometime just drop a line with no intent to meet. I do read profiles, but sometime feel impelled to say somethink, even if they are not looking for someone like me.
Other times when I am going somewhere it is the location, then I read a bit and look at the pci. If they are not all close ups of cocks and pussy then I may PM them, or check out there posts.

In adverts or profiles I look for a lot of informati lol

on on a personal level, a bit about the person/s, what they are looking for and what they like in people they meet etc. I like to see that they have made an effort in selling themselves as if it's a few lines or quite babbley (is that actually a word?) I tend to think they probably don't put a lot of effort into themselves or would go "all out" to impress in a meet up if that makes any sense?
I think I probably get impressed or interested in people by their forum posts rather than adverts but occasionaly I see an advert and think "this person seems very sexy".
I've kind of always believed sexiness and attractivenes to be two very different things. Without sounding like I'm trying to "big myself up" I think I'm quite sexy but place little emphasis on the way I look in relation to the way I feel about myself, probably because I try and cater for the people I'm withs needs rather than my own. Not because I'm so giving etc more probably that I'm quite competitive and like to think I can satisfy people :lol:
Anyway back to the main topic, The thing that really gets me interested is an astute mind or sense of humour, sexy pictures (hey i'm only human)or a bit of interesting unusual information about the people.
A big turn off is definitely crude or lewd language en-mass, or sleazy talk, any of that and I give them a wide berth!

Photo's of big willies.
(really it's forum posts. I'm in chat too rarely to notice personalities there, and I don't use the ads or even profiles much.
Mind you, I'm don't really use this site as a copping off / arranging meets tool. I use it much more as a social thingy - not that I can't be persuaded to hump people though...)

Always feel like I come in to give the boring answer lately sad

Pictures
Age
Location
The boxs that say what they look for
If those are all ok then I read the profile text. Anyone that looks interesting gets earmarked for Mrs Tweeky to see later. To be honest though its been an age since we have looked at profiles with a view to contacting anyone.

To be honest, I will often spark up a conversation based on a profile or a forum post rather than an advert. I know there are some people who would argue I was probably being pushy, but it works for me. If a profile has made me interested enough to read it all, check out the pics and then drop the person a line then in all likelihood then there will probably be something to come from it.
I don't do it often but it often works when I do! wink

You are not pushy and you can drop me a line anytime.
I can think of three pictures that got my attention.
a head and shoulders merged with a sea shore, two pictures blended
a lady in a bath, her eyes just right, pulling me in
and a shot of green underwear, a back view of a lady.
..but mostly it is the personality that attracts me, and that takes talking.

Ooo we have been thinking about this abit lately to...
We deffinetely like the profiles where it comes across that the person or people involved don't take things to seriously. Abit of humour is always good for that.
Nice to see a profile that comes across as very honest and open aswell some can seem abit erm 'false' for want of a better term.
Sometimes the words don't seem to match the pictures? Does that make sense?
Especially when it's a couples profile that's full of cock shots!
Also look for the ones that look like both partners have had an input if it's a couples profile.
Good topic xxxx

1. How someone writes
2. What they write
3. If someone if consistent in what they write or how they look and how they actually describe themselves - i.e. 'straight male... looking for a couple with a bi male' confused

Things like that make me start to wonder what else they're fibbing about (usually their knob size!)
4. What they look like - i.e. are they my 'type'?
5. I also don't like profiles that are written in the negative or suggest some kind of 'if you are worthy' rubbish - i.e. 'no single males, no single males, no single males.. don't contact me/us if you've got any photos... don't contact me/us if you're not perfect.. don't contact us unless you're prepared to lick our arse... send us a message, you might be the lucky one etc etc rolleyes

Doesn't bode well for a 'mutually' enjoyable time in my book and that's what it's all about for me.
6. Anyone who appears needy and/or loopy
7. Anyone who appears to have 'quickies' that suggest they've shagged half the site
8. Anyone with hundreds of 'Friends'
9. Anyone with loads of ads. in different categories that actually all just say the same thing
10. Anyone with no information at all - especially when they send a wink saying 'check out my profile...'
