I am sure it would be appreciated by more than me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806594 Mon, 08 May 2017 23:51:15 +0000 The Cat 1806594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aziraphale, thank you for chiming in! I did not remember exactly who listed "sleep" as an interest, but now we all know. Mystery solved. And as you can see from other comments here, you have actually inspired others to read and adjust profiles as well as to think about sleep! :-)</p> <p>Jenni, I remember the avatar thread. I read many of the comments there, but not all - they were so many ... And again, it would be much easier to find information about someone's avatar name in the profile than in a long thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806499 Mon, 08 May 2017 20:21:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 1806499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray Az you are great. So neat to have an angel's name as your YLF name as well, which I learned from the avatar thread a few months back. The Cat, if you haven't found that thread you might like it ( sorry , on my phone can't link) - Angie started it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806474 Mon, 08 May 2017 19:03:47 +0000 Aziraphale 1806474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I'm the one who listed sleeping as one of her interests. Glad it amused you. I haven't updated it since I started here, I don't think. Maybe once?</p> <p>Glad you are having fun reading all the profiles! &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806460 Mon, 08 May 2017 18:35:12 +0000 The Cat 1806460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, wise words. Good idea to look at profiles before giving advice. And let's hope that all who ask for advice will take notice and update the info in their profiles. I totally agree that is easier to give specific advice when having some personal info, i.e. about lifestyle, location and style preferences. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806413 Mon, 08 May 2017 17:22:06 +0000 Suz 1806413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good reminder to update, Cat!&nbsp;</p> <p>It is a great way to get to know people's core style preferences...I don't look at profiles often but I have done so in the past when trying to give specific advice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806286 Mon, 08 May 2017 13:31:09 +0000 Sara L. 1806286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't look at mine in ages. &nbsp;I guess I better find some time to update. &nbsp;I do occasionally check someone's profile when I want to know where someone is from. &nbsp;Occasionally people will mention something in a post or comment that makes me curious about where they are in the world. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806270 Mon, 08 May 2017 12:21:39 +0000 RobinF 1806270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only occasionally look at profiles, usually to see where they are from if they say something that makes me curious. I think mine just has basic info, nothing too soul-revealing (I'm not really good at introspection!). Another Scandinavia fan here! I spent a year in Finland as a student, loved it! I really have to go back some time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806261 Mon, 08 May 2017 11:49:52 +0000 Scarlet 1806261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good reminder to update mine :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles/page/2#post-1806242 Mon, 08 May 2017 09:13:06 +0000 Sisi 1806242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not provided information yet just out of ... laziness (and some shyness too).&nbsp;</p> <p>I&nbsp;enjoy reading Fabbers' profiles and I find it useful to know where a person is from.&nbsp;Knowing about climate and culture&nbsp;makes me better understand why a person dresses in a certain way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806226 Mon, 08 May 2017 08:12:17 +0000 The Cat 1806226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.M., nice to hear. There really is a lot to enjoy in Scandinavia. I, too, love Grieg's music. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806175 Mon, 08 May 2017 02:11:01 +0000 K.M. 1806175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, The Cat, I'm another fan of Scandinavia (even though I've never been). I'm a fan of the design, the food, the history, the landscape, the music... Grieg is one of my favorites! One day I hope I'll get to visit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806153 Sun, 07 May 2017 23:43:14 +0000 Anonymous 1806153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still think we should have a digital world map with little pushpin indicators for members' locations. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806143 Sun, 07 May 2017 22:23:01 +0000 The Cat 1806143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, you seem to have found two great solutions to your and anyone's leisure problems: (1) getting some more sleep, and (2) looking at others' profiles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806138 Sun, 07 May 2017 22:07:21 +0000 rachylou 1806138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleeping is my secret superpower! :)</p> <p>I've only looked at the profiles once or twice. Never thought about it! But now I have a new way to occupy myself with YLF! Lol. Other than hitting the refresh button all the time. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806137 Sun, 07 May 2017 22:05:52 +0000 Style Fan 1806137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm.&nbsp; I have some updating to do.&nbsp; My hair colour in my mind's eye is the same as it was when I was 30 but it is not strawberry blonde anymore.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806136 Sun, 07 May 2017 22:03:47 +0000 The Cat 1806136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, exactly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806134 Sun, 07 May 2017 22:01:40 +0000 Style Fan 1806134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't changed mine since I joined YLF.&nbsp; I never look at it.&nbsp; I will work on it soon.&nbsp; I do sometimes check someone's to see where they are from.&nbsp; I have never looked through the thread Who's Who.&nbsp; It is incredibly long.&nbsp; How would you find anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806133 Sun, 07 May 2017 21:54:08 +0000 Sal 1806133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tweaked mine - but interesting how most of it has remained consistent since I first joined the forum. &nbsp; I hope this means I am achieving my style goals more consistently:)</p> <p>I refer to them when there is a post about climate/appropriate clothing or similar mostly to find out broadly where someone is based. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806129 Sun, 07 May 2017 21:44:08 +0000 The Cat 1806129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RunCarla, good idea to update your information every 6 months.<br /> I hope you enjoyed your vacation in Steinvik, Norway, Temperatures can be very low in that valley (Østerdalen). Some years ago, when I visited a place further north in the valley in the end of June, it was actually snowing! Some of my friends insisted on having a barbecue party anyway, so we bravely put on our warmest clothes and tried to hide under umbrellas while waiting for hot sausages with melting snow on. :-)</p> <p>Lisa, thank you.<br /> As for updating, there is very little info in your profile ... But perhaps there is more in the blog that you link to? I haven't had time to check it yet, but will do so soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806111 Sun, 07 May 2017 19:46:40 +0000 Lisa 1806111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello and welcome!&nbsp; Actually I don't think I have updated my profile since I first created it, almost 7 years ago!&nbsp; I have looked at profiles from time to time, this is a good reminder to update it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806106 Sun, 07 May 2017 19:41:33 +0000 Carla 1806106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I do read the profiles. I update mine every 6 months, and recently changed up my avatar/picture. (The one before was a favourite picture taken during a vacation in Steinvick, Norway in 2010!). The more recent one was taken on my back deck fall 2016.</p> <p>Besides all the fashion fun, I always enjoy when there is a bout of 'round the world weather comparison on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806088 Sun, 07 May 2017 18:53:35 +0000 The Cat 1806088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer, good point. Like you, I have not posted any pictures, but - inspired by your and others' comments - I have now added some more information in my profile. </p> <p>Staysfit, what a lovely tribute to your aunt!</p> <p>Viva, the profiles are definitely looked at! :-)</p> <p>Xtabay, yes, let's hope that a lot of profiles are getting updated! :-)<br /> And kind of fun to know that at least the two of us share an aversion to acrylic. (If you are interested in reading about my experience with acrylic, se my comments to Mel's recent post "Learning to look for 'quality' items.") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806065 Sun, 07 May 2017 15:44:04 +0000 annagybe 1806065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine's probably way out of date.

It had been absolutely blank for over four years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806022 Sun, 07 May 2017 12:01:22 +0000 viva 1806022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice to know those profiles are looked at! I do occasionally click in for more info on someone. But I am sure mine is also out of date, as my tastes and outlook have evolved over the last few years. Must look!! And will have a look at yours too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806020 Sun, 07 May 2017 12:00:25 +0000 Staysfit 1806020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually look at them. I haven't gone back to edit mine, except last August after my aunt passed. I realized what a huge influence she had on my style and I wanted to acknowledge her, so I added her to my profile as my main style icon. I keep my style descriptors there also. It's a handy reference, in case I forget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enjoy-reading-your-profiles#post-1806010 Sun, 07 May 2017 09:27:06 +0000 Summer 1806010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do enjoy reading profiles, especially if someone is new, or if their location/climate/lifestyle will help me to make a more informed reply.&nbsp; Of course, you've just nudged me into reading yours, Cat!</p> <p>I don't post pictures here, so I feel the least I can do is to give other members a little background information. </p>
