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

[applesjck 5,605]

Yes! I enjoy learning about what everyone else likes and stuff. 

[Cagey 4,258]

I sometimes poke into people’s profiles, but I find it’s easier to get to know them through what they post. 

[Oblivion 20,282]

If a friends of mine I sure do! 

[EpicEnergy 23,245]

I do it if I want to get to know the other person better.

[Kadae 656]

I love reading about others!

[Ocean Breeze 5,204]

I love reading other people's profiles!

It's a great way to go to know someone and what they like!

[Tacodidra 61,697]

It depends on how long they are – if it's something with thousands of words, probably not. I read shorter profiles more often. Though with the "About me" section now being the first thing that shows up when you go to a user profile, I've found myself reading them more often than before.

[Sunset Rose 254]

I don't really read profiles on forums or social media sites at all unless I'm really interested in something about that person, which is pretty infrequent.

 

That sounded a lot meaner than I meant it to, but I guess it's honest...

[Reality Check 645]

I usually just scan the whole thing first, then I read the profile.

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,237]

Lines and lines of big information, ponies can't invest the time  

[Cash In 23,072]

You bet I do. Even if the profile is long, reading it gives me a better understanding of the person behind it.

[Clawdeen 20,833]

Sure. Gives me a better idea of the person

[Starlight Serenade 3,855]

I usually do as I want to learn more about a person, however, I have seen users with 50+ pictures in their bios and I find myself tediously scrolling for a long while. Nothing wrong with that if you enjoy that. Maybe there should be an art gallery tab or something for the forums profiles. Huh. I might just suggest that.

I used to have a larger bio, but some people told me that it came off as intimidating in the sense that it was a lot of info, so I'm trying to figure out another way to write it.

Honorable mention: I recall when I first joined, seeing another user who copied and pasted the first chapter of Dante's Inferno for their profile and I couldn't stop laughing when I figured it out.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 4,471]

I always read the profile in full. You can learn more about the person there.
