Let's talk profiles for a moment

Hi everyone,

My Daddy and I were chatting the other day about the types of follow requests we get and how frustrating it can be when people don't take the time to read before sending a follow request.

We've taken the time to share about ourselves and also to put in some caveats about things that are not go areas for us . . . And yet we still get follow requests from folks who fall into those groups or areas where we've explicitly identified we don't interact.

Please folks, not just with us but with anyone, read their profile and respect it. On the flip side, if folks are reaching out please take some time to fill in your profile with something. It's really hard to tell if there's anything in common if your profile is blank.

I agree 100% on both counts. If someone isn't taking the time say something, anything, about themselves, it usually is an indication of the effort they would put into communication, let alone a relationship. And if they aren't willing to read through what you've written then, as you said, it makes it difficult to find common ground. It is frustrating!
