Sorry I brought it up elikoa, didnāt mean to scare you! 
I think your profile is so nice and easy-going! Iād instantly know which card to pick and what to write about, thatās great. Nothing is harder for me than to have a profile staring at me, not knowing how to connect with that person.
About my little (and not so little) crawlies, they all have individual enclosures and little species and name tags on them.

I never saw a profile too long yet.
Instead, when someone lists for example the countries they visited, I become curious, where in that country, how did you go there, for how long, how did you decide to go there, did you plan it long, did you like it, where did you sleep, with whom, what did you doā¦
Because of the limit, I think there canāt be too long profile here.
But I think, itās hard to write about myself. The worst question is ātell me about yourselfā and then the waiting, interested face, full of expectation, when I canāt come up with anything to say. Of course I can tell my name, job, studies, but actually these things does not tell anything about the ātrueā me. So here, in my profile, I ended up listing things I like. I think many people have this difficulty, and so there are ages of their grandchildren, maybe in hoping the sender has also grandchildren, and write about them?

Ha! This! I agree with this wholeheartedly, itās the hardest question for me I am always relieved when there is a specific question instead because if there isnāt I end up rambling.

but i love rambling on a card! some people just write hello my name is xyz and my hobbys are this and that. i donāt mind of course, everyone has a different writing style. but i have no idea how to react to that. like if your hobby is reading iād love to hear what book you are reading. or if your hobby is walking, tell me what you see and where youāre going.
but yes talking about yourself in your profile can definitely help with that. if i see someone loves cats i talk about my cat or if someone likes tvshows i talk about my favourites. so to me, a long profile with a lot of information is great.

Ahah no worries, it is to say how bad I am - cannot fault people to use emojis! I just scroll fast and donāt linger 
If you ever decide to post an actual photo of them do put a warning somewhere please 
(I imagine they have name tags on theirā¦box or wherever they live, not on the actual petā¦ Now I am going back to work to move away from this mental imageā¦ )

Okay that actually makes sense. I suppose when people say they love travelling, I can talk about that. I guess itās me being a bit at loss about children and pets
Yes! Same! And yes I get impatient too about āHello I am X and I like Zā and I guess you found the reason, we want to know what āZā (books, travel, gardening, whatever) means to them! But I really donāt want to tell people what to writeā¦

Donāt worry, I make sure to always put pictures in spoilers with a warning as title. I know that many of you guys donāt love them as much as I do. 
one good reason that i like read long profile esp. those with long favorite lists is to let me know the outside postcard world. there have so many artist, illurstrations which i can write it down and try to discover later.

I am definitely guilty of a long profile. hangs head in shame
The other day I received an official postcrossing card that started with, āHello, I read your text and you seem likeā¦ā and I felt so bad because I thought the Postcrosser had drawn my address and was assaulted with a wall of dense text from my profile! Oops!
I have 2719/3000

I absolutely love long profiles. Details about pets are nice, thatās also telling about Postcrossers and how they love their pets. Iām only bored of long lists of wishes and expired cards (I donāt understand the latter).
(Rewriting my profile I spent LOTS of words to describe in detail and unambiguously that Iām happy with any postcards and messagesā¦ I couldāve written more about myself but itās already 2999/3000)

Well, I donāt mind, itās a way to get to know someone. I donāt know if mine would fit in your description, I have no particular achievment to boast, but I simply listed some of the things I like for the sender can get an idea of what to send me.
I quote, paragraphs are important. Then you can write as much as you want, I like to read. But half a meter of words and sentences piled on each other can be visually intimidating for me
I honestly prefer a long profile than a totally empty one.
