I always look at the profile of someone I'm considering asking to friend. Why on earth wouldn't you?
I usually. some just want the add for friends numbers, not actual friends
I agree with Alexa, I look at everyone's profile and see what they are about. A great way to see if you will have any subsequent communication moving forward.
Can't remember a time when I didn't.
Whats the sense of asking to be friends if you dont read there profile.
There would be no point to asking if you did not read through it.
Every time, as some people on want certain things.
I always read the profile first, how do you know if you know if you have anything in common without reading it first?
Is this a trick question?
i have have had over 15 requests from guys this past week. they obviously didnt read my profile or they would have seen that i dont accept guys.

I look at them very closely. I not only read their bios, but the stories they write, the ones they favorite, their forum posts, the people they follow, and even their friends' list. All of those tell a story about who they are as people and what they like. The more we have in common, the more I'm going to enjoy talking to them.
Always. I would not consider asking to be friends without checking the profile.
I always look, I don't only like cyber I like normal conversations too. I hate when people just open chat rooms, and friend me and never even said hello.
I always look, and like to chat a few times to see if we like the same things before I ask to be a friend.
The same goes when anyone asks me, - chat first, friend later.
Don't just go in for numbers, I can't see the point. Socialite? What can you do with a hundred friends?
I do. Other wise im not sure I want them on my list. Not sure they look at a profile they accept tho
Not only do I check out the profile of a person before I ask them to be a friend. That is also the first thing I do before talking or after someone sends me a message. It just gives you some clues about, who that person is and if you have any common ground to start from. Why some people don't do that is puzzling to me.
Always!!! If there's no bio or pic, it's a good chance that that woman is really a man. It's a known fact that a high percentage of 'women' on dating sites are men in reality. Once you have read their profiles properly you can attract their attention by asking about a specific detail, therefore showing them that (a) you can read, and (b) you have an interest in them x
Well that's my thoughts anyway!!
I always read the profile, you cant always tell just by an avatar and a few words. It may give you some insight as to who they are and what they are about. Plus you might save yourself from looking like a fool. Lord knows i need all the help i can get lol.
I ALWAYS read everything. It is important to me to know who I am asking to be a friend
I always check the profile of any one that I friend or chat with
I always do. I used to accept friend requests without checking profiles before but now I also take the time to go through their profiles first. It gives you an idea of whether you actually want to talk to them or not.
No it's NOT a trick question, 99% of all men & even several women do NOT read my profiles, even the short ones. Nothing pisses me off more & why I gave up online years ago. It's ALWAYS about the pic or maybe the first line or my headings, but they never read further. I've already concluded that most people online can't read LOL
On the flip side, of course I read the person's profile for the reasons already mentioned. What irked me, is when I would take the time to read it, send a message & get NO response. After this happened more than 30 times, I finally gave up on approaching any women & even men.
Kudos to all who respects the person enough to read their profile. That shows maturity & integrity.
Yes ~ I look at profiles and read them, sure. Profiles are very interesting usually, too... but I actually like to talk to the person before I friend them.
I try my hardest to always look at the person's profile first...before i talk to them then i add them if i like them.
