What it's like for a guy

What it's like for a guy Anyone who's read the blogs written by all the beautiful women on this site knows that there really seems to be a lot of consternation regarding the seeming inability of many of the men on this site to demonstrate any ability to read profiles. To you, ladies, it might look like some of us just see a pretty picture and send an email without even bothering to read the text of the profile. I hear this a lot: "If you'd bothered to READ my profile, you'd've known that I wasn't going to write back to you!" And that can be really frustrating to you, right ladies? It can look like he didn't care enough about what was inside you (your heart and mind, pervo) to even spend a minute or two reading what you'd painstakingly written. Here's the thing, though-- and you might not know this-- he might not've been able to. I've discussed this with a number of my female friends on the site, and they always exhibit surprise at the fact that the rules are different for men on this site than they are for women. So at this point, I'm going to set the record straight. I can only speak for myself, though I get the feeling that my experience here has been above average. Be that as it may, here are my stats: I've been on the site since March 9, 2005. In that time, I've had 1998 profile views. That's nearly two years of views, and I'm JUST making it to 2000. Ladies-- especially those of you who have pictures-- how long did it take you to get to 2000 views? A month? Two? Also, keep in mind that I'm a gold member (No, AM a gold member, not HAVE a gold member, pervo), so when people do a search, much of the time I'm one of the first profiles that comes up. The first five to ten slots are gold members. Then some silver, and finally, left at the bottom of the page, are the standards. So I have a feeling that those guys who're standard and don't have a picture have WAY less profile views than that. I looked yesterday-- my last piece of A FF email was received on 22 December. That's going on a month ago. One [blog curious082385] of mine was gone for two weeks, and she shared with her blog that she had 89 A FF emails waiting for her. There are currently 50 in my inbox, many from the same people (blog friends, you know), and they date back six months. And I don't really hit the delete button all that often. The last thing-- and the thing I'm pretty sure most women here don't know-- is that if you're male and a standard member, you cannot view profiles. At ALL. I told curious this in the course of a conversation about it, and she said, "yeah, I know you can only view like ten a day or something like that." To which I replied, no. If you're a guy (or it might be based on page views for a month or a week or something), you can't view ANY profiles. At all. All you see is the banner title at the top and a teeny, tiny picture. That's all. And if you click on the profile, you're redirected to the account extension page. I'm not complaining, here. I don't think it's fair, exactly-- but then again, I don't think this site is about fair. There are ten men for every women on this site, and you have to have different rules for women, or you'd end up with 100 men for every women. All I'm saying is, the next time you get an unbelievably boneheaded email from some guy who obviously didn't read your profile, don't fillet him as a matter of course. He might be a bonehead, sure... but it might not be ALL his fault. Or, you know, maybe he's just a bonehead. I dunno. |

It is true, the more profile views you get, the more you can view in return, however, every single person has the power to view profiles and send emails on this site regardless of this fact. Some might be surprised to discover a points system operates from this site and you can earn points for exploring the site and doing different things. You can then turn those points into profile views and even email people. Best way to get more profile views is to beg your Passion friends to view your profile every day if they can to give you more views. I have done this with quite a few of my friends, both male and female and its been working quite well  Ally
