How many people read them? If you do, do you find yourself going why bother? I think it would be good to say in and be open to having constructive advice on your profile. Please be kind it is not about shaming more about being kind. Say in and inbox open to receive advice privately or in forum |

Always. And tailor my general introductory speil very heavily around whatever is unique about the profile to try catch the eye. Also, if I don't fit the requirements, I dont message.
The women I've met have made that selectiveness worthwhile, but no idea how they spot me as when on a first meet recently the lady got over a dozen coldcall messages in the 5mins she was logged on to say she had arrived. Swamped.
Good for the ego in one way as those that never open the messages, I can rationalise as being 1 drop in a severslal hundred deep mailbox, but does make the effort in reading and reacting to profiles feel mostly futile. |

Always ready and generally when someone has put a bit of effort into their profile it shows they probably will have a better look at yours.
Make a bit of effort and sometimes it gets you a better response. |

"I always read profiles and verifications. Its a slight indicator as to whether we may be compatible. Sometimes a verification can put me off someone more than anything else."
I have read your profile and thoroughly enjoyed it. I could offer no improvement on perfection |

"Always read and its frustrating when someone asked a question that you've stated in your profile
Open for any suggestions on mine "
there is nothing worse than that. I prefer questions about my profile which does happen occasionally. Is it an instant block for you ? |

It's great to be able to get some sense of the other person before messaging them. Although I used to regularly get messages from people annoyed why my profile is long, it's not a dating site etc. I would say ladies on the site take a lot more time and consideration what is on a guy's profile than the other way around. |

"I always read profiles, I update and tweak mine now and then to suit myself. It's obvious not every one reads them by some of the messages I get but those are the ones that don't get a reply. "
a lovely profile and honest. I agree I prefer to have fun and a laugh with someone

I definitely read profiles, and I'll read the profile before I even open the message.
As for mine, I make changes to it if and when I need. I'm happy that it says all that I need it to say for an initial interaction, so I'd never ask for constructive criticism on it. |

most are like you and your profile is immense. But sometimes I need constructive advice as I can come across as marmite |

I look at them to see their age preferences, if inside ,then read their profile , if outside there's no point , simple really as l have the utmost respect for them as they took their time to write their profile. |

I always read the profile before I read the message and, if they don't appeal for whatever reason, I mark the message unread.
I used to reply to all messages but it just opens the door for unnessary chat that will go nowhere.
My profile gets updated when necessary but I feel it covers everything atm for me to enjoy the site my way! |

I rarely read profiles these days because I'm not meeting so it doesn't really matter what someone has on their profile.
I'd never offer advice on someone else's profile and wouldn't accept any given to me because it's my profile and if someone doesn't like it that's their issue not mine.
I haven't updated it in 4 or 5 years because I haven't seen the need to. |

Always read a profile but not the verifications until we get to talking
Why wouldn’t you read a profile before messaging?!? That’s just bizarre
(Ladies feel free to skip my profile text and just message  ) |

I do always read them. If people chose not to read ours that's fine. But don't expect a reply if it's clear that you haven't. |
