Anybody else have a problem with readers of your profile (men predominantly, but women also) ignore or simply gloss over what you have stated in your profile. For example, I clearly state in my profile my likes and dislikes yet constantly get friend requests from people whose interests are the antithesis of mine.

That happens.
They either didn't read it or chose to ignore it.
Whenever i read someones profile i always take time and read everyone’s wishes. It definitely gives me a useful insight into what that person is like an whether i would like to have them as a friend. I will always take note of a said person sexuality it doesn’t matter if they are straight, gay, lesbian, or bi. It doesnt really bother me and i will respect them all just the same and i will also take note of what the person likes and dislikes are so that i know i can get a away with and cannot. But then again i will treat will everyone here on lush with respect that they disserve.

And like what cameo has said there plenty users that completely ignore what’s written in users profile and think that can get away with anything that they want. I have seen male users in the chatrooms trying to get female members to engage in cybersex with them when that user that specifically stated in their bios that doesnt even do any for them or they dont that sort thing. And sometimes it doesn’t even matter what her sexuality is and they are still trying to get her pants.

For the past few months I’ve been using Instagram and been using the site to post my photography . Here’s the link to my profile

I don't really care if anyone reads my profile or not though to me it's just a basic courtesy.

As a general rule I do read profiles especially before posting after them in a Forum. I pretty much never send friend requests so that isn't really a factor for me, I'm certainly not going to send an FR to someone who states "no men" or anything similar. Having said that, other than avoiding something that is a stated dislike (e.g. no porn on walls ) I pretty much treat people the same regardless of stated interests or orientation unless you're an asshole. As for folks who have very different interests than mine I would consider that a plus as I'm likely to find them interesting and might learn about something new.
I avoid chatrooms like the plague, not my scene at all and the few times I've ventured in to a public room I've found people (yeah mostly men) incredibly rude and obnoxious. I get enough of that shit in real life thanx.
I don't read profiles.
Here’s a question, who reads the terms and conditions when on a website? I agree, click!

I can understand most ladies having issue with the testosterone club who may not read all the fine print on their profile. On the male side of things though, you remember that Maytag repairman....kinda like that
I am an avid reader of profiles some I actually go back and reread well study really. I find them very interesting as well as entertaining. People fascinate me and there are some truly fascinating people on Lush.

To men who don’t read my profile
I enjoy reading profiles as they help me to learn about another human being and, of course, avoid mistakes. I do get frustrated when reading some (not all) that sound like more of a "No" list than a description of the person. Disclaimer: I suspect that bad experiences have led to these negative auras given off and I always take that into account.

If you should chance upon my profile and have questions, I would be honored to answer them.
That's why I haven't filled out my profile.

Less disappointment.
Most Lush moderators will accept tips (read: bribes).

There is a simple reason for this and it applies not only to lush but on all sites where there are male and female profiles and the goal is to socialize.

Men have figured out that most women will not respond, regardless of the message sent. It's for a myriad of reasons that all make sense, that's not the point. The point is that men have figured out that for every 10 requests/messages sent, they will only get 1 or less responses. So in order to actually get some kind of socialization going they need to send 100's maybe 1000's of messages. Say they decide to spend the time to read a profile for 5 minutes and then write out a unique message for another 5 minutes... that's 10 minutes now on one profile... He's gotta send a dozen to maybe get 1 response... thats 2 hours now. Do the math... So men have figured out to send a generic message to 1000's of profiles because the return is exactly the same and it takes just 1 hour to do that instead of weeks.

Simple.

The world isn't that mysterious a place.
Personally I enjoy reading the profiles. If someone comments or likes one of my stories I want to know what they're like. It's like making new friends. I hope people don't get put off sharing things in their profiles. I'm new but I'm enjoying what I'm learning about you all, and it's far more than a dating site. I quite often start with where they live, and what books they like. But please, keep communicating, it's great
