What do you think of people that do not read profiles?

Commas are important.


Agreed. Commas are important.

We're eating Grandma. Meaning, Grandma is the meal.

We're eating, Grandma. Meaning, Hey, Grandma, we're eating.

Common sense would tell you which it is honestly.... Even typos can be figured out by simple context.... Though I've noticed neither of you used an example that would be typed on a profile here which was the original statement. Instead you use things most people just speak aloud and not even type... So if grammar is so important to all non verbal forms of communicating.... Then how exactly would ASL work? I know ASL and there isn't a sign for all the forms of grammar. Plus I've intentionally not place any real grammar yet you seem to understand just fine.... Just saying....

Grammar is improtant in non verbal communication. ASL has grammar that isn't English based, which you'd know if you researched it at all. You're using it as a very bad strawman argument.

And my dude, you ARE using grammar throughout that post. That's how the written word works.

If your point is I understood you without grammar and punctuation, well, what is all that punctuation in your post for, darling? Why did you choose to go with the English layout of Subject Verb Object rather than the Latin layout of Subject Object Verb? Are you even certain you know what grammar is?

Typos are one thing, but being obtuse about communication is not a good look.

My message success rate is way higher than 4%. I read profiles though.

Sweetlydepraved,

I believe the reference to chapters is my fault not your own. I have encountered egregiously long profiles on here and their girth was sufficient for at least some medium novels. Doubt as you may.

Regardless, it really doesn't matter how long ones profile is. A message's success rate is around 4% and that is a lot of cupids arrows a writer must let fly for a response. Not a dialog, a reply. Even if all profiles were a 2 minutes read, that's nearly an hours worth of reading across 25 profiles for what could be a rejection letter. There is a common fallacy of quality over quantity which enters here and is untrue because by now we should have all heard of the flood of messages ladies get combined with the number left unread. The greatest love letter of all time painstakingly crafted over the space of days could be left sitting on unread in someones inbox right here, and right now.

So how do people feel about not having their profiles read? Something they painstakingly worked on? They don't like it. They shouldn't like it. Its unpleasant no matter how that cold meal is carved and served. Just like many message writers have learned, that their well crafted and researched introduction letter was not worth the effort. Similar to how members on this thread have found their profile not worth it.

It boils down to this. Fish with shiny/flashy economical bait, and be caught by what catches the detail your eyes are looking for.

There's only periods no other form which if you noticed there really should be many others but to make the point a bit more since you obviously didn't notice any of the missing pincushion I'll do it like this which is kind of fun just saying but the point is that it really isn't needed at all as for ASL I use it personally in some situations because I can't hear people and others I don't because I can however the grammar my auto correct puts in well if I'm not bothering to add it than why exactly would I bother when auto correct does it for me so I do think this makes a point fairly well

You are still using word order pretty consistently. That's grammar. Syntax is part of it. Oh, and contractions. Those are grammar too.

i did just say my auto correct is adding some. However you've got me on my word placement yeah I just can't not do that. It makes my skin crawl. Lol. So yeah very valid point on that one. Typing that last one was kind of fun though. I do that a lot when I'm writing my books and my poor editor says she needs a raise for everything she fixes. Lol. But very good point. Nice. That was kind of fun. Guess we both proved a point. Me with not really needing some grammar and you with showing the key point of grammar is wording. Nicely pointed out by the way.

On another site I did a test for two days where I saved my previous profile and create a two line profile. There was a flood of grateful twat wankers who hate long profiles.

Yay put my long profile away, poof they were gone.

It's unfortunate but I expect newbies not to read profiles and therefore decline newbies straight off the bat.

Fortunately my thick filter process removes ninety percent of those messaging me as incompatible simply because I do not reply to kink related questions until I have known someone in real life face to face for six months. That removes the fetish chasers as they get bored after three days if I haven't already blocked them.

A filter here on the cage would be good for location as a start. No one more than two hours away can message me would be useful.

So I use my eyes instead.

My profile here is not particularly long, it's longer on Fetlife as I am more active there as I have daily mod stuff to do there. Plus there are more discussion groups where friends are, so we can laugh as we go a long.

I do support The Cage so I do check back.

You 1000% did not make a point that held. Kitten and the others are the ones who made points that were not easily dismantled. Grammar matters, and if what you say is true about writing books, I hope you pay your editor very, VERY well.

Now perfect my stalker has popped up. Lol. Now this is how easy it is too ignore such people.....

Damn words on a screen. Lol

So needs a butt hurt report...

Anyway point was made or you would've not understood enough to even comment fully.

Now see she's mad because I can't see her in chat and she's blocked so she stalks around looking for places I've made a comment.

Go ahead play the victim yet again.

Now yes I could've made the choice to ignore yet again but I'm not.

Must be odd having me on your mind so much. I've caught things that others have said in chat.

Now seriously as I said the last time and I'll say it again. Just leave me be. This is fucking online get the hell over yourself.

Now I'm going to go back to furthering that you even exist. If you keep harassing me I will end up reporting you. Last warning before I hit the report button.
