Do men not actually read profiles? I've gotten many, many replies from men who do not meet what I'm looking for (they all meet my non-negotiables). I know that most men just email pictures that they like, but I don't have a picture. So what's going on?

The return email ratio for men is so low that some of them just do blanket emails to as many women as possible hoping they might get some interest from somebody. Actually reading the profiles would be too time consuming for some.

It's pretty universally agreed that the majority of men do not read women's profiles. I'm not sure why other than basically what chamey says, but honestly to me, I think that they would get more and better quality responses if they DID read the profiles and actually only winked or emailed women that met their criteria and vice versa. I don't know how many fat, balding, short over 40 Hispanic guys email me on Match. Ummm, none of that is in my profile as something I want, but do they pay attention? Heck no. Anyway, all you can do is just delete the guys that don't meet your criteria and keep looking for that one that does.
