I think that most readers are scrolling through a series of profiles, and the written part of the profile is the last thing they see. Don't make it difficult for them. You have just a couple of sentences to make them interested enough to read the rest.

It may depend on what you want, expect, or how much info you feel free to share ..with potential problems. Wasn’t long here before shortening my intro stuff by around ⅔’s … I talk too much, as well.

TMI can, or appear to show a lack of confidence. Even if it’s only ‘letting them know what to expect,’ that may be to avoid the pain of rejection later. If you participate around here, you become a known quantity PDQ… Be yourself, cuz a r/s of playing someone else isn’t fair or sustainable.

Everybody gets scammers all the time, nothing whatsoever to do with what you write because they do not read one word of it, as you can easily test for yourself by asking specific questions...in fact, they do not even read their own "profile", also easily checked. Just yesterday I had an interchange with a guy who listed "dog rescue" as his first interest, and when I mentioned i had just adopted my 5th rescue, he asked me why was I telling him that.....!!!!! Block time!

I like when people complete all the fields. But I think profiles (the write-in part) can be over-long.

You can say so much that people think they’re not a match when they might actually be. The more someone reads in a profile, the more chances they have to say “not for me.”

The profile should be an appetizer, and the date should be the entree. You want to pique enough interest for a date and give enough general facts to show basic commonality. The date will help you decide whether to move forward ... and to see if there’s chemistry.

Lastly, people sometimes fall for someone they’ve met even if they’re not a perfect match on paper. Don’t rely too much on the profile. Rely on the in-person connection and interaction.

Whelp, that’s my 2¢.

??? don't know, but maybe overdone? sounds like some details. gotta have something to talk about later, don't you?
