Does anyone else think answering a lot of questions is a turnoff?

I have a feeling I'm going to get downvoted for this, but I'm honestly curious. I see a lot of posts saying things like "match scores are useless unless you answer 300 questions!", "people who have less than 400 questions aren't serious about finding a good match so I avoid them", "I answered 3000 questions because I want a great match," etc. Slight exaggeration, but you get the point.

But when I see a girl's profile and she has 500 questions answered, my first thought isn't "wow, she is really committed to getting a great match!" I think "how long has she been on this site?" "what is wrong with her that is making it so hard for her to find love?" "she must be super picky" and "doesn't she have anything better to do?"

Am I alone here? I have a feeling I am, given the subreddit wisdom seems to be to answer as many questions as possible.

I'm not judging anyone for having no life, I answered 1000 questions on my dummy account ;) I just expect people outside this sub might view people who have a lot of questions answered negatively.
