Most about me sections are boring- if they write something interesting or amusing then I will read it, otherwise I won't bother.

I rarely ever go to the anime list except when I want to give recommendations. Profile gives enough information most of the time, plus when I click on a profile I tend to already have a clue about the person from some forum discussion or whatever.
I probably regret this post by now.

I actually never check anyone's anime lists, even friends. It's kinda pointless, I usually just read what they've done about themselves.

But you'll have to read it to find out whether or not it's interesting, so doesn't that defeat the purpose?

My profile is just a picture and my list is private. Not that there'd be anything interesting anyway.

I can't keep mine simple, I always find myself adding things.


For the topic, yes I do read about people usually their stats at the top, where they are from, how old, stuff like that. Check out their anine stats a little maybe open another tab to compare mine to theirs, I usually check the about me which sometimes gives me ideas about my own.

I usually go into their list when I want to see what they rate the shows that I love and which are their top favorites and their bottom of the rating anime. Or I just go in there to laugh at their bad taste and look at their stupid tags.

Depends on what I'm there for, and whether it looks concise enough (or short enough) to warrant my time, then again since I have no standards I just read everyone's profile in the end.

That is also seconded ^^. Or before giving out recommendations in the recommendation section I check out to see if they would even be able to appreciate them.

I usually see how many anime they've completed at use it to calculate how much of a life they have.

as for looking at lists, I only look at them if we seem to have similar tastes.

First thing I do is look at their age, if shown, and disregard everything they've ever said if they're under the age of 16.

I rarely look at full anime lists and will usually just look at the shared list to see how our ratings stack up.
I usually have a higher average.

I'll read the 'about me' section provided that it's not filled with a ton of crap, I'll look at favorites, then I'll compare ratings.

I read glance at their wall comments and I move on to see if it tells me if we have a high compatibility.

Then I go do something constructive.

How can anyone trust the compatibility feature? My highest compatibility ever was with someone who had seen 17 shows total, 12 of them we shared and our average rating for those had a difference of about 3. If any, the lower the compatibility the more I assume we have in common, lol.

I know the same with me, I don't even look at the bar anymore. Though you and I have both watched over 500 anime and have a somewhat high rating.

I like looking around their personal info like where they're from, their age, their gender. After that I'll check our anime compatibility, and if I'm really bored I'll stalk their comment conversations.

I don't bother actually checking anybody's anime list, either it'll be too insignificant or too big to pull anything from it.
