I think we most likely everyone checks the "viewed m" and the "who hot listed me", however, I agree with the Doc on this one. If the person is interested they will contact you otherwise you think they are just checking you out and decided they did not like what was on the menu. And yes people of the same sex do check out each other, it's called sizing up the competition.

Because I view many profiles for various reasons, I do not allow people to see I have been looking. I do however look at who has viewed me... and then I think they should not be able to!!! (It is supposedly hidden)

Yes!

It's why I'm here, after all. I think it's all amazing to take in who looked, and actually I don't feel stalked at all, because this is all anonymous. In fact, I would be very comfortable with someone who considered their approach for a while, before taking the plunge into further contact.

I don't interpret frequent views as meaning anything too serious. It could be taken as flattering, even. After just a little while on here, there are some people that I think of as regulars because I see their pictures so often between fave lists and so on (um, you would have to be living in a smaller centre of 100K pop as I do to experience POF that way) and if something on their profile changes, I go have a look. Some people I click on because they keep coming up on all the different ways of searching (personality types, et cetera) and I'm figuring out why.

The only reason I do my own so-called "stalking" in stealth mode is because of the simple truth the guys are bigger and have a lot more lean mass than I do and the somewhat bigger risk that I might be actually recognized in the smaller community where I live (not that I don't love this place!)

I just came to this thread because I was trying to figure out what was meant by "People who viewed you sorted by when they were last online. The rest of the page is sorted by when they visited your profile." -- I'd be happy if the feature just did what was described by Sentence One and could see more of that (the last 20 or 30?), because it tells you something about the activity going on and gives you quicker feedback about what might be working with your picture or profile.

The history part of the feature is less interesting because it's old news, no?

I don't feel stalked when someone views my profile - heck, I view profiles all the time to find out more about someone who's posting in a thread... I don't think it's a big deal, myself... I only feel stalked when some loser starts following me around the forums and posting after me or referring their every post to me... that's just creepy!

Au contraire..
For some, the history is much more interesting than viewed me....

I'm surprised that people mentioned stalking at all regarding viewing profiles! Imagine what this site would be like if no one could view anyone's profile! Good grief! This is a dating site after all. How are member's going to find other members if they can't view a profile?

I don't put any stock in a person being interested in me just because they've viewed me. It means nothing, the same as when you're walking down the street or sitting on the subway and someone looks at you.

What I do wish about was that no members could show that they've viewed a profile and... if they were interested in a profile they'd viewed they could acknowledge the other person some way. And I wish I could make a folder of profiles I'm interested in for whatever reason. These are features LL has, plus others.

I check; I don't really think of it as a 'date' thing, so much as a 'yay, I'm not invisible!' thing.

Of course cuddly what else is that feature for????
If I find a person who may interest me I may even send a hello. Isn’t that the idea of a dating site search and find????

It must be my age...guys in this catagory sure don't think I like them just because I've viewed them. At first I turned it off and then I thought , hey, I like seeing who's checking me out so why not extend the same courtesy. Most of them are just looky-loos. Since October I have only managed to entice 4 guys to meet with me. Only one actually contacted me first . I dated him for a month but he had an addiction problem that I surely couldn't live with or fix. It has been interesting viewing with some correspondence thrown in to keep it all happening.
Keep on looking... you never know what you'll find.

Yes, I too check to see who's viewed me! I too am a looky-loo.And after viewing their profile if there's something that really jumps out at meI'll reply. But, no, I don't read anything into who viewed me,just as others do the same.

Yes, I check. Simply out of curiosity and nothing more. And I'm well aware that just because someone views my profile, it doesn't necessarily mean that person wants to "connect" with me. It may just be that I said something or expressed an opinion in the forums that piqued their interest, and they checked my profile merely to put whatever it was I said into perspective. I do this myself and not just exclusively for women's profiles either. Honestly, I'm just someone who's interested in other people and what makes them tick.

The other reason I know that just because someone viewed me doesn't necessarily mean they want to meet up with me is because when I check out who viewed me, I've seen a few profiles of women who have a stated age range preferrence for messaging them -- and I clearly fall outside those parameters. Now in most cases, you have to read a person's profile before you find out their age. But in my case, I think my picture to the left combined with my username gives a pretty good clue as to my age.

Sometimes, only if the curtains are open.J/K.

It's another way of showing some kind of interest.

Of course I check, if I didnt it would be like not trying
the electric window's on my new Escalade...

I think the feature which allows you to view who viewed you is one of the better features of this site as opposed to other sites.

Everyone should keep in mind that we have the option to not let people know that we've viewed them. There's lot's of us out there in stealth mode so just remember, we're still watching you... lol.

No one viewed you today? Good chance a stealth has (at least that's what you can tell yourself)... You can call us the invisible stalkers *evil grin* you'll never know we were there, muwahahah...

great...now i'm going to be checking under my bed for PoFers dressed like ninjas.

way to give a guy bad dreams Neptune!

i'm off to check the closet, couch, dresser drawers, and other likely hiding spots.

with this group, i'd better check the liquor cabinet first...
