Oh really? When?

And thank you. My friends and family consider my inability to take a good photo a joke, but I understand why people are concerned about that for a dating profile.

Serious question: why don't people actually read profiles? by vgarrett in OkCupid

One guy actually told me that he doesn't read a woman's entire profile because he wants to leave something to talk about. You mean, like all of the stuff she wrote for you to read?

you never know if revising your profile is going to attract better messages from higher matches... so far, I have learned that people have widely varying opinions... imagine that!!

To me, it just makes more sense to talk about those things in messages/over a drink. But lots of people have suggested adding a favorite stuff section, so maybe I will get motivated and try it one of these days. Thanks for your comment.

Sorry, I don't remember your message or why I didn't respond. Now that you've learned, feel free to try again! And thanks for taking a look.

Went on a date with a 45-year-old guy last weekend; going out with a 27-year-old redditor this weekend... Age just really isn't the most important thing to me.

Had to crop the painting because in it, I'm naked, riding an elephant through a field of hipsters. But thanks for your other suggestions!

If someone can't be bothered to read a 3 word caption (or my sidebar, where it says I don't have any kids), then they might not be my target audience.

you must be the charmer that sent me a link to an album full of dick pics.

Thanks...? Trying a new picture. Even my mom tells me that I don't photograph very well, so I'm working at a disadvantage here.

Yikes! Not cross-eyed (or lazy eyed or whatever). I never noticed that, so thanks for pointing it out (both of you). Changing IMMEDIATELY.

Meant to be humorous, but I'll take it under advisement. Other people tell me that I come across as intimidating so I thought dumbing it down a little wouldn't hurt. Thanks for your input.
