I am well familiar with the problem of having too much to read because I graded a lot of papers, and so did my mother when I was little, and I knew her tricks. So I will give them to you.

If you are reading something that you do not want to read, but have to make an impression that you have read it, read just enough to be able to grasp at least one important detail, and message the woman writing about and building up on the associations that this detail evoked in you.

It creates an impression of thorough in-depth reading. As if you had read the whole profile whereas you did not.

The method is not foolproof.

One guy wrote to me giving me his gmail address, and I wrote to him via gmail. This is because his gmail address matched a google profile in which he had a picture of him with his lovely grandchildren (I get messages from guys 18-70 just to expand my horizons ), his musings on the legalization of marijuana and other political stuff, etc., and since I, as I said above, appreciate when people become non-anonymous, I chose him to write back to.

So he wrote to me... a lot.

And I responded to one of his many questions. I thought I would get away with it.

He called me on it:

"Thanks for that clarification.

Is that all you have to respond?

I think you are very attractive.

What do you like to do for exercise?"

***

but normally, guys do not call me on this tactic.

It could be that ALL the women will call you on this tactic, and/or not return your messages.

So I do not know if this would work with women... just offering as a workaround, because, of course, I understand how boring it is to read profiles, rolled eyes!
