What do you look at first?

25 Aug 2008

I tend to go straight for the pictures, yes I think physical attraction is a good starting point. Then I look at their status (ie married/single)Then I look at what they have written to see if I can glean some kind of personality, then I look at the location and age.
1. Pictures
2. Status
3. Content
4. Location
5. Age
By the time I have got to the age I have pretty much made my mind up as to if I would like to talk to them further or not.
When you are looking at someone who has taken your interest (either by contacting you or in the chat room/forum/ads) and move on to their profile, what do you look at first? Do you have an order?

25 Aug 2008

1 status

Status. Then, look to see if the details match up with that status. Then read the content. Pictures are last, usually.

ok so i'm a liar its pics first so i'm shallow so shoot me smackbottom

1. Do I fit their parameters
2. Location
3. Pictures
I'm not sure if any of the other things matter. In fact I only look at the pics 'cos I'm a nosey git biggrin

I'm with you Venus … yeah call me shallow, but my priority is the same as you. I think looking at someone profiles you actually need all of those things to be able to make a reasonable decision.
dunno

25 Aug 2008

Photos ( because initial attraction is what drags me into a profile )
Status ( don't do marrieds unless it's both of them :twisted: )
Age - Yes I have age limits, I don't shag younger than my eldest son's age!
Content - must sound interesting enough to keep my attention and to see if I fit their criteria
Location, Location, Location! - for a one off I don't mind travelling but when I was looking for a regular fwb, I didn't want more than an hour's drive. Luckily I found my goregous hot_n_welsh only 7 miles away :twisted:

I don't think I will call you shallow, because if I do then effectively I am calling myself shallow and that isn't me at all biggrin

Any profile text
Read any ads that are active
Pictures if any are public

I knew that didn't come out right, but I'd already sent it redface

Gosh you're soooo picky!!!
Oh it's queue by the way x

25 Aug 2008

Forgot to say....
If its a profile I view regularly then I go straight to the pics :rascal:

25 Aug 2008

1. Location - If they're miles and miles away there's no point looking at the rest
2. Age
3. Height - Don't really want anyone a great deal shorter than me
4. What they're looking for
5. And last but not in the slightest the least - Pics, though lately I'm edging towards the web cam.
I don't have any face pics on here myself so if you can both cam it's the best and most accurate way of killing 2 birds with one stone biggrin

Got a vacant slot? biggrin

lol...
You can usually catch me on server 1 on most weekend nights.
Needing dutch courage to show myself on cam has nothing to do with it, honest :uhoh:

I know that feelin, i can't use the cam and chat at the same time as it makes what I type take about 5 or so mins to appear, msn works fine though.
I'm using mobile broadband but where I am it only runs at dial up speed

I'm the opposite really, my msn is v temporamental and it drives me crazy sometimes!
So long as I don't have any other windows open the chat room seems to work ok for me

It's a popular misconeption that storing a lot of data on an HDD slows it down, in theary it does, but not to any great degree, and a decent defragmenter will greatly reduce it's impact.
It's mostly down to a lack of physical ram or or a badly conjested registry, also spyware.

Something you don't have trouble with? :rascal:
haha

27 Aug 2008

for me it has to be personality coming through in the persons writing if it's through the site and messages.
in person it's eyes that do it for me, and a good arse. but then the personality has still got to be there too.

Well said whips, but it helps if you're a looker too.

Surprised that not more people have mentioned if the people in the profile are smokers or not as it's certainly high up there in the criteria list for us for people we would like to meet.
