Question for the guys
How many of you actually take the time to read bios before liking someone on here? And how many of you just mindlessly like people only based on their pictures?

I take a moment to look at a first photo to gauge interest, I'll read their bio for their qualities to feel potential match and then proceed to go back and see more of their photos if they have more. It's like a build up to swiping before making the decision. Not sure how some mindlessly swipe without really giving a person's bio a read it doesn't feel as genuine if you're not getting a feel for someone beforehand

Unfortunately I find reading anything to be a waste of time on any dating site. I'll scan to see if we match politically, religiously, etc. But majority of the people I swipe on I don't match with, so it makes more sense to just do a quick scan. If we match, then yes of course.

I don't know how many of the other guys do,but I absolutely do...Hopefully all the MEN on here outgrew that mentality many years ago, or else they just accidentally landed here, skipping right over their Tinder apps, just to make us evolved Gentlemen look a little better...🧐🤔🤫

My problem is there is only ❤️ or X. Can't there be a middle ground? I tend to X way more than i ❤️. I'm picky but I won't settle for just anyone. They gotta be exceptional. Cuz I'm exceptional. I'm also not great at describing my exceptionalness and writing those dang bios. I'm certain a lot of people don't read. There are such a variety of people out there and they're all looking for different things. Luckily you have the power to not like back. If I really like someone I'll write to em. The worst is when someone doesn't put many words or they're just so vague that you're left unfulfilled

Great question! 😄 I don't know if I'm an outlier or not but I actually read the bios no matter how long they are if I'm even 25% interested based on the pictures. I'm also extremely picky with who I like because I always think to myself "Do I just like their profile of them or do I actually want to talk to them?" Sometimes I'll read quotes or well-said comments and things on the profile and write it down (well, screenshot it lol) because it's worth remembering. So if I give a like then that means I'm prepared and interested enough to actually wanna talk to you.

Never really pay too much attention to the bio, I always read it, but at the same time I don't feel is that important, like who doesn't like to travel? Dog or cats does that matter?Is somebody gonna say something like "sometimes I'm so boring"? So I think the bio is nothing more than how you see yourself which is probably not the way I'm gonna see you

I /have/ to read the bio. Then I have to make sure there are well taken photos. 😂 I can't imagine swiping based on looks only. If the bio isn't interesting, substantial, or feels welcoming, I kind of just overlook. I like an attractive face but there needs to be a personality or something that puts together a basic picture of the person there.

i look at the bios and answers admittedly most times after pictures i don't care how attractive someone looks if they didn't take a little time and effort into their profile and aren't having fun with the process.. we probably aren't gonna have a good conversation other than small talk so i'll stay away a little lol.. (edit: thought it said "for you guys" oops) (edited)

I always read bios. A picture can't tell me who you are lol. I need to read something that makes me want to message you or get to know the person writing the words.

Sometimes what I read saves me from liking someone I wouldn't be interested in, so yeah. I also just read abnormally fast, so that helps.

I read every word of every bio before I decide to like or not. Everyone has their dos and don’ts for their criteria of people they are interested in - and I’m finding that a lot of the time, these things are put out there in most peoples’ bios (smoking as an example is a no for me)! Reading bios can alert you of these things even before they come up via talking (if they accept / reply), and you can absolutely get a generalized idea of how someone will be by what they give you to work with. At the same time - I personally pass on empty bios. If someone won’t put in the 10 minutes (generous) to type in some basics, what’re the chances that they’re going to put the time AND effort into anything else?

Almost always reading but I also keep my physical preferences in mind as I don’t want to waste anyones emotional time! So I will swipe pretty quick if I don’t think I would find the person attractive as a partner as physical attraction is something that is important to me

On most apps its like or swipe. Some apps won't let you actually view profiles while doing the window shopping. I make sure I read profiles when I get a match. I will look for a few indicators here that will tell me if we won't mesh well together... Do you have more than the minimum number of pics, do you like certain things I hate, are you anywhere near me that we can date. This app is actually pretty good about forming connections

What is your built-in purpose and identity?
Humans have a deep need to have both a purpose and an identity in order to have long-term well-being. It seems difficult to find our individual purpose and identity because it seems they would be unique for each of us. Thankfully this isn’t the case.

How to sit "with" your emotions
I recently came across a term: "sitting in your emotions". And personally I don't really like it. That's because when we sit "in" our emotions we're often overwhelmed by them.
