| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 1:32:23 AM | I check occasionally to see who looked at my profile but I don't read anything into it. People can tell if I looked at their profile but I hardly ever do. I rather talk to people on the forums and at the events.  | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 2:46:50 AM | I check it out....sometimes you then see a profile that normally wouldn't show in your search results. Not always happy with what I see.....lol . But whatever!
I check profiles that have checked me to read on them, if not totally out of my age range.
But then, also wonder why the same people keep checking on my profile yet NEVER message me......STRANGE
Oh well, give's me something to do! | |

Actually I don't think that the "viewed me" section is deleting the people who have looked at you properly so it appears that they are looking every day. The wording on that page is confusing to me, it says it tracks for only 24 hours and mentions that they will eventually set it up to delete after 7 days. If it tracks for only 24 hours then shouldn't people disappear after just one day and be no need to remove them after 7 days?
Also, if you click the help link on your mail settings page where you can hide yourself from that list it makes it even more confusing. Strangely worded there.
Still kinda neat though. | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 7:31:28 AM | | When they view you again they move closer to the top left, so its easy to see if someone has viewed you again. | |
|
| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 8:59:42 AM | Yep, I do Kinda feels nice to be checked out in a no-contact, type of situation. At least guys have to look at my face here  | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 10:27:54 AM | | Yes I do! I think this "viewed me" feature was added by the keepers of this realm to make P.O.F. a more interesting site. I believe that it is supposed to help bring people togeather as in breaking the ice or a flirt. If you are truly here to meet someone you do a search,check your matches or attend a function. With viewed me you know that you either came up in someone`s search, were listed by this site as a matchfor them and they looked up your profile. This has been going on a long time before the "viewed me" option was added. Now the only difference is that YOU know that they are researching you and if you find them interesting you have the option of making the first move and contacting them. who ever is the more aggressive of the two will contact first as is done in real life. NO this does not mean that the person looking at you is smitten or that you have to respond if you are not intrested. This option is just a tool. Use it. | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 11:14:05 AM | I check all the time. I don't think it's shameful to see who has looked at you. Sometimes I want to see if the profiles I looked at have looked back. You never know, maybe the "one" will be there.
"PEAK A BOO"  | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 11:25:09 AM | | I admit I check, and I admit that it can be somewhat disturbing to see how many beautiful women are looking at me. Makes me feel a little objectified. I am trying to cope with it though. | |
|
| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 11:26:02 AM | I check it... sometimes someone looked at me that I didn't even know was out there.... Sometimes THEIR profile is interesting enough and I add them to my favourites.
But now, just because I am hosting an event, and lots of people got invites, I have TONS of guys checking out my profile.. Which is kind of weird to me, but I guess now they know what I look like when they come. lol  | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 12:33:32 PM | | Use the features as you please Folks. If you please,that is,might be too pleasing though. Hostessess with the MOSTESSESS. Spring be coming,so view away and who knows what may transpire. Life be made easier by some pretty handy tools. Use them wisely and you just might wnd-up real happy to have discovered the Wonderful world of .... | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/16/2007 1:26:35 PM | | I check it every time I'm on. Why not, I found a gent on there I wouldn't have found in "My Matchs" section and he's turning out to be cool beans (coughcoughposteronthisthreadcough). I've actually had more guts to contact a few of the gentlemen that have viewed me and their profiles matched some of what I'm looking for. Why not, the worst that can happen is a read/delete or a no thank you, it's all good. | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/19/2007 10:00:56 PM | If you are on here and you block the feature you obviously have something to hide...It's a good networking tool and if they were an accidental or private view then don't say Hi..I find it dishonest when people hide this feature...Who cares if someone saw you viewed them? Hell..I'd pay to see who was hiding... Now THAT is a special feature sell point...  | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 1:26:32 AM | I frequently check it out, just for curiousity's sake. Someone viewing you doesn't really mean much since it is no indication as to whether they found anything interesting about your profile, lol. However, it frequently gives me a chance to check out some people who wouldn't have come up on one of my regular searches. If a profile catches my attention (and I have time for a quick message), I'll drop them a line. I'm not that shy, lol.
Most of the views I get seem to be people who browse the forums and are just checking out certain posters. Heck, there are plenty of people who I view because I read one of their posts and wanted to see who they were (which is also why it really means nothing that people of the same sex have been checking you out if you're a poster, lol). Actually, the "Viewed Me" in conjunction with the forums seems to really broaden the horizons.
I should totally check out what gals have been viewing me (I think I've guessed what the trick is). It would be interesting. And since my main goal here is to make new friends, a way to see a few new fellow gals, in addition to the guys, would be nice.  | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 1:29:11 AM | I'll bet that is the single most popular button on this site. We are a vain species. Craving acceptance. Empires have been built off of our vanity and continue to grow. There is hardly an industry out there that doesn't try to cash in on it. So, in answer to your question. What was it again?... | |
|
| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 1:50:25 AM | Yes I do check to see who has viewed me, even though I have that option turned off on my own profile.. lol I have come across a few profiles I would never have seen otherwise, and made a great friend so far. | |
|
| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 6:44:07 AM | I don't consider it any kind of tool and certainly NOT one for networking.
The people who view me are people from the Forums as my profile is hidden. They certainly are NOT interested in dating me, they are just seeing who wrote the post they read.
As for people who have got the feature turned off having something to hide....oh PUH-LEASE. We all have different reasons for keeping our viewing private and I doubt any of us have dishonorable motives for doing so. | |
|
| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 9:12:29 AM | Yep, I check it out.. makes me smile..
I too realize that the majority of my "viewers" are probably people just checking out who wrote a post, so I don't take it as a come on, or even necessarily as a compliment.... could be a "who is this nut-case??" query!!
I thought about turning off the feature.. but did not see the point, I don't care if anyone knows I've read their profile.

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 10:24:05 AM | | Yes I check to see who viewed me.It gives you a good indication of what kind of a person is interested in you.So if your intereted in them you get back,if your not interested,you don't.I check out women all the time.Some get back to me, some don't. | |

| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/20/2007 11:45:43 PM | That's too funny...LMFAO..I almost spit my sandwich out...lol..*note to self*
As for turning it off for reasons justified to yourself....there are none..if you look it should be logged..I don't think people should have the option..if you're being stalked....let it be known...if you look...same deal...People have the balls to post their profile..if you have a look it should be shown...Peeping Tom's shouldn't be allowed to lurk...  | |
|
| Viewed Me..do you check? Posted: 3/22/2007 10:40:02 AM | I check it out every day, just out of curiosity. And like fluffy said, I often check out those who've checked me out. Not such a big deal for me, as I am only here to make friends, but I think if I were single again, it could be a very useful tool
I also often check out people, whose forum posts I find interesting. Have made some cool friends that way:) | |
