Every... single... time.
Anyone who doesn't is being totally disingenuous... as well as rather facile.
After all would you cross the road without looking first?

How many of you, actually look at the PROFILE of the person you're asking to be friends with?

Yep, every time and almost always friend...but have skipped a few that had scant details or didn't seem to be someone that I would match up with.VszjwyPvqc8Q365U
A determined person with perseverance can overcome many obstacles. They can, many times, perform better than those who are more intelligent, stronger and with better finances by determination and perseverance

I always look and read it fully, nice to know the person a little bit before asking friendship.

Every single time. Before I ask someone to be a friend I try to learn a little about them and see if we have common interests. Something to spark the conversation and if they prefer no "hardcore porn" on their page, then I don't add it.

Absolutely! Usually I have to see them several times in the forums and get to know them before I send a friend request too.

I always read a person's profile. There is a lot to consider.
Are they currently active?
Do they make posts on the forums.
Do they have pics?
I usually read at least one story, if they have published any.
In a request, I consider it courteous and repectful to say something nice or something interesting about something they have said in their profile, so from reading my request, It should be obvious I have actually taken the time to read their profile.

I will always look at their profile before requesting friendship, even if I know them through the forums or through their comments on my poems. How else would I know what to say to them or even what they appreciate on their wall. Some of our gals just flat out say that guys need not apply, so I don't... how else would I know?

Yes, me too. Frankly it would be disingenuous if you crashed into a 'relationship' without knowing anything about the other person.
However...however...I like to be more adventurous when hooking up with others in the chat rooms and, as a matter of principle, won't slink off to read their profiles before talking to them.
Doesn't always work. But sometimes produces nice surprises!

Always.
A blank profile means the person is either too lazy to bother providing information, or is so self centered that they just don't care to provide any information, or is lying about who they are. Either way, not worth my time.
Thanks to all who take the time to introduce themselves through their profile.

I read profiles of friend requests and even people I am just chatting with in a room. What better way to know if you have commonalities with someone or a basic interest or even what to talk about. Those profiles professing how much they hate drama are instant denials and those that only focus on cybering are out of the question. I have no problem asking someone to be sure to read mine before they send the request to consider if they even want to send me a request. That weeds many out. After all, profiles here are like Lush Wikipedia and you always start with Wikipedia.

with out the profile how do I know about you,? your wants desires, your sense of humor is foremost, laughter is so wonderful, you have to have a imagination

I hardly ever ask anyone to be friends, when I do I look at the profile for sure. I also check profiles every time I get a request, I want to avoid having a bunch of fake people on my friends list as much as the next person.
Active Ink Slinger
I read every profile very carefully, as well as look at the comments before I send a friend request

I would not ask unless I had read their profile and probably PM'd them first. I delete many requests because they obviously haven't read mine.
I slwsys read them ! You have to know a person before just being a pain in the ass and annoying them ! I look for things that the person likes that are similar to me or that I may want to try ! I think I have been pretty open and honest about everything ! If I have annoyed anyone in any way I am extremely sorry and I'll personally apologize to anyone ! Hey we all need a good friend to chat with or vent too when shit just doesn't work right ! You can never have enough friends the world is too damn small !

Whether its sending or receiving a request, or even replying a message / chat, yes, I would look at the profile first. As mentioned in another thread, a profile gives a quick glimpse of the person, be nice to have the 'first impression'.

I look. And read what they say. Plus I look at their writing history.
I ALWAYS look at profiles even if only chatting in a chat room. I like to find out if you have a name firstly. I think it is only good manners. Then I need to know if you are likely to even want to talk to me and then, do you share my interests. There are many people who just begin, or request sexual chat or role play before even having a clue as to whether I may wish it.
