What do you like to see in Profiles?

For heaven's sakes, yes! I saw a piece of furniture I liked, right clicked to get the creator, then went to the creator's picks to get to the place to buy it. So far, so good. TPd to the location in the picks and had the content creator go ballistic on me for showing up in her skybox workshop. I left, but sent an IM back to point out that maybe she should create the pick for her store at the actual location of the store. She admitted that she should.

Actually, I like the blue skin on both you and Madhu. Very nice looking.

ZOMG! Hahaha! Nice profile!

Oh i SO wish i didnt read your posts until id SWALLOWED my coffee...ho hum another hour or so with the aroma and tang of nescafe up my nostrils .

I've just re-done my profile after reading this, and have even managed to include a Trout reference!!

Madhu, I know where you are coming from. I am in Goa, and used to have this info in my profile. So I get asked, "are you Indian?" No (not that there is anything wrong with being Indian, you understand). Then I get "well, if you're not Indian what are you doing in India?" Then I feel I have to explain what I am doing here. Not that there's anything sinister about it, it's just where I choose to be at this moment in time. I've taken that out now.

I think it would be funny if we could see what other people write about you in your 'notes' tab. Maybe the Lindens could cause a 'bug' that revealed those.

It would be funny as long as it didn't have the author's name attached. *Thinking back to all the stuff I write in people's note tabs*

Indeed. You have no clue, guy.

Well, I freely confess to lacking an encyclopaedic knowledge of the tartiness benchmarks per nationality for prostitutes operating within the eurozone, chap.

Spews Pepsi on the monitor and has the first good laugh of the day!

Well done!

Ooooo...like that idea!!

My hobby in SL is profile-reading. So much interesting info and I usually find at least one new place or interesting group in a profile that I add to my "To Explore" list. Of course I sometimes find lots of info and groups that make me add that person to "avoid at all costs" list...but that is also informative.

I've begun something new with my SL profile pic - since I take so many photos in SL (saved to HD then cull out the best ones to bring inworld), I change my profile pic monthly and include the month/year on it. Keeps it fresh and sort of an ongoing "scrap book/photo album" for myself.

I know I'll probably get ripped for this...but what the heck...I'm living dangerously this morning.

There are types of, shall we say "establishments," I choose not to frequent in RL. I don't care to frequent them in SL as well. Those who choose to do so have every right and I defend that right.

One of my things is to try to dress as appropriately as possible for the sims I visit (ie. when I go to IoW I tend to dress in Medieval attire if I'm not wearing a dragon AV; or when I go to clubs I like to dress to suit the ambiance of that club; wear swimwear at the beach, etc.) One of my pet peeves (and this happened recently) is going someplace where the general attire would be casual (it was a VKC dog training session on the beach) and feel like I've arrived at the Annual Meeting of SL Prostitutes. And I'm not just talking the average skimpy SL clothes one commonly sees...but really "out there" attire.

Ok, ok, skank types may enjoy training their dogs too but for some reason that just irked me to no end. (I was in a mood anyway due to some RL issues, but regardless...).

I've been doing the same thing for the last four years. Its really nice to see how the avatar changes over the years, and like RL, you can look back and think "I actually went out in public looking like THAT?"

If they are truly skanky, they would be on the other end of the leash.

Skanky Barfly sits back on her round heels and begs for a treat.

It's interesting that this is the first mention of something - the only thing - I consider really valuable in the FL profile of anyone who is at all interested in socializing: Their time zone.

I agree 100% with the rest, too. I am not interested in meeting others like me -- my RL is full of them.

70% of folks don't seem to bother with writing them, either. The people I'm good friends with have their profile front page filled in...even if its just very basic stuff like RL nationality, married or single...not into casual sex...languages spoken and understood, etc.

I often get someone reading my profile and then asking for friendship. I open their profile and its blank. Hmmmm! I hate to be rude and turn them down but I like to know who my potential friend is. *Sigh* Fill in your profile, please.

This happened to me last night. I got a friendship offer (before I got a hello) from someone whose profile read "I like sex!" that's all. I left the friendship offer onscreen and let it expire when I logged off. It wasn't even worth explaining why I would decline it.

My profile isn't the most descriptive, but at least I know it's more descriptive than *that*.

It's funny that the majority of the people I know are actually NOT in my time zone... They just have different time priorities than I do. I'm usually consistent with my 4pm to 10pm weekday inworld time, most of my friends seem to match that time well. New York, UK, Philippenes, Austrailia... Heh... If they're willing to be on every day/night whenever, more power to them. (^_^)

I figure, I met them inworld while they were online at their own normal time. If we re-visit each other more than a few days in a row. We're bound to have a blast. (^_^)

I have had people seek me out by profile and group association before. I'll go inworld to a saved IM saying, "Let's meet someday." I pretty much just respond... "We'll meet if we meet." If we never have the chance to meet, there's always someone else. (=_=)

What would I like to see in a profile...

Pics depends whose profile it is I suppose.

- Girls: many nude pics. You may abuse the Picks section for that. Don't be affraid to be too slutty, there is no such thing as too slutty.
- Men: Nude pics of your partner, or girls you like and have nude pics of.
- Furries: See men.
- Other species: See men.

- Furthermore I have to agree with the language thing, it's good to see wether you can communicate with someone.
- Shop owners should either have a Pick or a classified in their profile, so I can find their shop through their profile.
- Some info about what you do in your SL. That might show we have similar interests for example.

Real life tab: No pic, or a sexy girl.
Either I will not believe that you look so good, or I rather would not have known you look so bad Info on timezone would indeed be nice as well.

The time zone or nationality of the person behind the avatar helps a lot. Then you can work out when they're likely to be online. I've been fortunate in finding several ppl either in the UK or Europe.

Groups on your profile page say a lot about you...if the new person is in the same welcome area group as me we have friends in common. If they're in a group owned by someone I don't get on with, I keep away.

Oookay.....live and let live. Men are always men but girls never get to be ladies! Hmmm.
