"Oh hey you guys, great news. Yet another study has shown that Women are from Mars, Men are Too Shallow to even bother reading your carefully crafted online dating profile.Do you even care if this guy reads your profile? He&amp;#x27;s hot! Although, he doesn&amp;#x27;t make his bed.If you&amp;amp;#8217;re like me, you&amp;amp;#8217;ve probably spent a decent amount of time editing your OkCupid or Match.com profile to make it sound adorable, witty and basically, like the kind of woman that could charm the pants off all your prospective suitors (but wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t on the first date, because you&amp;#x27;re all classy and stuff). Well, according to a new study using Tobii Technology to track eye movements, the results show that men spend 65% more time reviewing photos in online dating profiles than women do. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re thinking maybe men spent more time looking at pictures, but correspondingly spend more time looking at the profile in general - NOPE. Women spend 50% more time than men reading profile information. Not to mention that for overall profile evaluation, women spent an average of 84 seconds evaluating a profile, while men spent about 58 seconds. The lesson to take away here: Be hot. Use short, concise sentences that men can be bothered to read and comprehend You have less than a minute to impress the possible love of your life. If that sounds a little depressing, well, it does kind of suck. It&amp;amp;#8217;s really not so bad, though. I&amp;amp;#8217;m frankly unsurprised that men spend more time on pictures and less time analyzing overall, because in general--stereotype alert!--it seems like women tend to think these things through more, while men make a quicker, go-with-your-gut analysis. And also, dudes are kind of superficial. But as I&amp;amp;#8217;ve discussed in relation to men&amp;amp;#8217;s initial messages on online dating sites, I can always tell the ones who&amp;amp;#8217;ve barely glanced at my profile but like my picture, versus the ones who&amp;amp;#8217;ve taken the time to read what I wrote and then write me a thoughtful message in response. I never respond to the generic compliment guys, and I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never had a disastrous date with someone who clearly did read my profile. Guys may be a little more drawn to photos than women are, but I think the good men are definitely still putting some time into getting to know you, because you&amp;#x27;re worth it (sorry for poaching your line, L&amp;#x27;Oreal). If you&amp;#x27;re an online dater, do you spend more time looking at photos or reading profiles? Would you eliminate a guy based on his picture even if you liked his personality? Do you often get the sense men are only writing to you based on your pictures, you little hottie?
