I wrote a really long profile,very detailed and I hope that my soulmate or whoever will appreciate it, that it will somehow weed out the users etc who are just looking for a quick bedding.
I had a nice literature teacher write to me today who also had a really detailed profile with many quotes etc.

Neither does cutting down someone who responded to you after you asked, repeatedly, for a response.
But, I will respond, because I understand the dating world is frustrating. I get it, and I'm sorry that it's frustrating for you. I, personally Googled how to write a profile, and followed some of those tips because my profile writing skills weren't that great, even though I do know how to write, otherwise. I tend to want to write a lot on my profile (imagine that  ) but tbh, most guys don't read through all of that. So the recommendation is to tell about you as concisely as possible so that they will be interested, and if a conversation sparks, you can get to know each other further. I have also found that most men want more than a couple of photos. I had two posted, and got about 5 messages which simply read, "More photos!!" How demanding. But I did put more up.
As for sex, yeah, it tends to be an important factor on sites like OkC. I hate to say it but the majority on those free sites are looking for casual sex or short term dating, not anything too deep. If long term is what you want, it may be better to try a site that is more geared toward people who are looking for something more long term, like Match or eHarmony. It's unfair to get upset at the site or the people...most people go on there with that in mind. Like they say, don't hate the player, hate the game.  I'm not saying people haven't found lasting relationships on OkC, I'm just saying that's not what that site is primarily used for. (After using it intermittently for the last 10 years, I feel confident in this fact.)
