Quick question, do you read someones profile before sending a friends request, or speaking to them in the chat room?

I'l add to that question then.
Would you contact someone without reading their profile?
I ask, because most of the people contacting us, don't.

I always read their profile prior to contacting them.If they have no profile I just move on.If they make first contact and I see they have no profile, I just move on.Hawk

I too read the profiles even b4 accepting a Private Message request in chat.
I also attach or send a message to any member I have not spoken to on chat b4 sending a friends request.
I also don't add friends request , when1. I have not had contact in chat or exchanged messages with the person previously2. the person has a blank or hidden profile.3. I receive an unsolicited friends request with no accompanying message.Messages like nice photo, be my friend don't cut it either.

Thank you everyone for your replies.
It seem that genuine people will read a profile, while others who are just looking for numbers send out requests to anyone.
I have just had a request from someone who lives on the other side of the world, who is looking to meet up.???? Yeah, I'll take tomorrow off and meet you down the pub.
I've also had some strange encounters in the chat room, two separate women (well they said they were) wanted me to describe my sex life in great detail.

I do read profiles and I also like to see locations. Sometimes I will browse at pics, then look at a profile. There may be a common interest, having a tattoo and piercing, I notice pics with those first. I may send a message to the TN member and ask a question but that doesn't always mean a friend request.

Yes, I always go to the profile before commenting on a Forums post or replying to a Friends request. I want to be sure about the person who I am communicating with. If things look questionable, I will usually call them out on it or flag their entry. There are too many good people here to waste one's time on the people who are less than honest.

Always. I never accept friend requests without a profile read and if there is nothing to read, no friend acceptance.
Granted you never know if what someone put in a profile is true or not, but you can usually get an idea if they have posted some pics. Just as long as all the pics are not of different people, heh.
Stay Naked!

Yes, I always check out their profile. It only takes a few seconds to see if they look "genuine". I always like to see a picture and/or some information. Something that at least tells me that they put some effort into sharing a little of themselves.
