Do you actually /read/ long profiles, or any at all?

[Leafeon 2,702]

As title says. The reason I'm wondering this is because, my profile is pretty long. And, seeing as it is so long, I do want people to read it.

 

So, my question is; Does anyone actually read profiles? Silly question? Of course.

 

Kthxbye.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

I enjoy getting to know the bigger names on the forums, and so I read their profiles thoroughly to understand the best way to speak to them.

 

Come to think of, I need to make my profile better.

[Starshine 16,334]

Depends. If the profile talks about something that is actually interesting, like opinions on FiM or the forum, arts, or maybe how someone became a brony, then I would read it.

If the profile is all about links to random places and incoherent ramblings, nope.

[PrinceNightFire 9]

Yes i do read them to understand what people do and what they like and all the art or music or whatever they can do  and know them better Before asking thing's for them to make

[SweetJeans88 408]

depends, if i see someone on the forums with an interesting post, i may creep their profile a bit to "get to know them"  if i like, then i friend.  i like it well organized so i can skim though.

[Shanks 10,816]

Sometimes I will it depends on the person and what their profile says, I might not always read the whole thing right away but I might come back to it later.

[Webber1900 21]

I read them some of the time, depending on if I feel like it. But it's nice to have a good amount of stuff on your profile so nopony would think your not very interesting to know. I know I feel like I need more on my profile, and will work on it when I am ready to do it.

[Scootalove 10,689]

Yeah, I do read long profiles since they add more detail on the person your reading about.

 

It makes you keep wondering, what I should know about this particular person.

[MiStErUnMeRry 328]

I'm always around your profile, fooling you with my cupcake icon. I purposely don't post that much so I seem almost blended...when you are not looking I leap and attack your profile, molesting it with my eyes a minimal of four times a day. Your profiles are not safe, you are not safe. Watch for the yellow eyes that peer upon you from the recently visited section...because I'll be there...hidden away...oogling you like a Tiger watching its prey.

 

 

So, yes. I do read long profiles when I can be bothered.

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

The rare times that I actually go to other people's profiles, I do try to read through them.  Admittedly though, a lot of times I get bored about halfway through, depending on whether or not I find the profile interesting or not, and then just skim through the rest of it.

[Titan Rising 2,156]

When I look up people I'm interested in knowing more about, sure.  I read yours and I must say...  Why you hate rainbow dash and Princess Cadence just because they're awesome?!?!???

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

Sometimes I'll read a profile

If I don't recognize the user

And I feel like reading something

Other times I just don't bother with

Reading profiles

[Swick (ded) 436]

I personally do not. I actually took ten seconds on your profile before I closed the tab. Sorry

Don't be offended, I think it's just my extremely short attention span. Basically, to keep my attention, what I'm reading either has to be short and sweet or really good.

[Betez 1,734]

I try to. If I visit someone's profile, I usually want to learn more about them. So yes, I do read peoples' profiles, even if they are long.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Yes, I always read people's profiles, in their entirety, no matter how long they are. It helps me get to know the fellow forum users better,

[Samurshy 708]

I will read profiles if I enjoy conversing with a specific member. Other then that, I really don't care enough to read them. So I voted "sometimes".

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

i only read them if they are nice on the eyes. if the words are crunched together like mine i dont read them. the ony excpetion is if they are my friend on the forums.

[Zygen 6,066]

Well it all depends on my mood really, but considering the fact that normally if I go to check out someones profile then I'm proably going to be looking at their profile in all then normally yes

 

If it doesn't interest me much then sometimes I won't, but I'm normally pretty good at dedicating and reading all of someone's profile, helps me to know them better anyways .

[Abstract 832]

I don't click on people's profiles often, but when I do, I usually read and re-read the whole thing. I'm often disappointed when someone's profile is clearly just trying to make jokes and tells next to nothing about them. That's what a profile is for!

I like reading longer profiles, but mine is quite short.  I've never been much for making my own walls of text, especially about myself.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

I'll read for as long as i'm interested. Short and sweet is preferable but if someone's taken the time to write a lot about themselves the least i can do is read it, or at least part of it. 

[Nohbdy 4,108]

I read a profile if it's interesting or if I'm looking to understand a member better. Long profiles are usually quite entertaining, and it's always nice to learn more about my fellow bronies. It also turns out that reading profiles can really provide a lot of information on how to approach or address a user. Case in point: I just discovered that OP is a female after months of assuming she was a guy. Sorry for that

 

It's funny, though, because I can't be bothered to create a comprehensive profile for myself. Maybe I'm just lazy.

[Fluttermoon 192]

If it's someone I want to know more about, then I'll skim though their about me page if they happen to have something written there. 

[Soundgarden 2,758]

Yes, I ALWAYS do it for 2 reasons

 

1. It helps me to learn more about the user

 

2. I am probably the only one that think like this, but I feel like total arse when just entering someones profile and just leaving without reading. The user probably took some time and thought to write the profile (I'm wierd, I know)
