Profiles with pictures but w/o "About Me"
Posted : 10 Jul, 2014 12:56 PM

In general, I am turned off by anybody who would not at least take the time to fill out the profile information completely. "Ask me" or "I'll tell you later" just don't cut it either. The lack of effort here, I think, speaks to the effort they might put into a relationship. Plus, I now know nothing about you that would make me want to contact you.



But, ladies, if you post a picture of yourself but don't fill out the "About Me" and/or the "Interests," let me tell you what you are going to get - if anybody contacts you, it will be because of your looks and you're body only. It will have NOTHING to do with your personality or who you are, because they do not know who you are (nor can they)!



So, do you ladies not care when a guy wants you only for your body? Or is this maybe all you really want from a man?

imho, I was a bit conflicted about this as well.



Being a woman, I myself, was and still is very skeptical about this whole dating site too. I don't know how much information I should put out there. So before, I just lurk, then I eventually posted one picture. In other words, it was a process for me to actually unfold my very private life into this virtual world. I was being cautious.



But then I realized, where's my faith? This is supposed to be a Christian dating website...I know it's not perv-proof. However, I think I was underestimating the gift of intuition that was bestowed upon us all. I realized that I could easily weed out those who have bad intentions.



Along with my faith, up to this point, in spite of all these technology, I still want to be wooed. And this is probably the reason why I still don't say everything about me on my profile. I want to actually have a conversation with a real person.



I speak for myself, obviously. But I hope this answers your concern.



With regard to men who leaves the questions blank, usually I don't bother asking because it seems like they want things to be spoon-fed to them. Who wants a guy who exerts zero effort? I think they are just inviting desperate women or scammers. I honestly would rather message a guy who doesn't have picture than a guy who says nothing about himself.

A most frustrating thing. Browsing profiles that say next to nothing about themselves, or wasting their words on 'scammers' (which will not deter them). And profiles that say something to the effect of, "Looking for someone with the same qualities as I have," without saying anything about your qualities is futile on your part ... and exasperating for the reader. Open up a bit and describe yourself, i.e. your personality, likes and dislikes, etc. And say as plainly as you can what you are looking for. Invest a bit of time up-front and it could save you unwanted messages, and, on the other hand, bring attention from someone you might be interested in. (And don't be afraid to edit your profile and make additions and changes to it. First draft seldom says it right and says what you would really like to say.)
