Posted: 6/26/2007 9:33:10 PM | | Yes, I check. I'm a curious type so always interested in seeing what kind of women are showing interest. I've even struck up a conversation or two that way. | |

Posted: 8/16/2007 12:05:23 PM | I use it all the time, I think it's the best feature of POF, that the others didn't have. Basically my profile says it all, if somebody reads it they will have a real good idea if they are the one if I think they would be the one. I just have to get women to look and read me. The veiwed me does a lot of that, I look at hundreds, I'll contact the few that I think I should but most don't have enough about themselves for me to know. Many of them will look at me and they will know. The big problem I think is many don't have the guts to send a letter. It used to be I sent letters to all the marginal didn't know enough about, 99.9% of those went "read delete." I hated to "bother" people but hate even more being single and not having kids. I'm nobodies perfect match due to my age but I'm sure if I met them I'd have no problem at all. Online has a big problem with everybody knowing they will find exactly what they want next week, I get passed over because of this, but next week never gets here and we are still single and looking.
My thoughts, viewed me is great... | |

Yeah I look. I'm not ashamed, embaressed and I don't cover it up. Thats why the options are there , so ya can make the choice. I even have my picture rated knowing darn well I'm gonna come out below average. I don't run from the truth about myself nor do I hide from it. Who cares if someone knows I'm checkin um out, at least they know I'm honest and open enough to let see it.  | |

Posted: 8/17/2007 11:23:56 PM | Yes! I have actually ended up talking to a few men who were intimidated by my profile. ME?Intimidating???????????LOL
I find that there will be a few that will always look at my profile and save me on their faves but won't take the initiative and actually send a message so sometimes I do first since it seems they have an interest (well at least in my pics). | |

Posted: 8/18/2007 1:40:41 AM | | I view... But it doesn't really matter. To talk to me they have to send an email... Less I am interested in something they say in their profile. | |

Posted: 8/18/2007 3:53:31 AM | Generally I don't bother to look; but once in a while I can't help but wonder what type of people my profile, or just my picture, attracts. It's a like a social psychographic study...X girl attracts what kind of personality, look, want, need, desire...are they looking for friendship...dating...intimate encounter? I found once, a long while ago...yeah I'm a POF addict I'll admit it, I was attracting mainly older men looking for an intimate encounter. I revamped my profile and added pictures and things changed slightly but still not the type of relationship or personality I was seeking. So I gave up that approach and went with what I thought was amusing, something that made me laugh till I was teary eyed as I wrote it..added a ton of my personality but none of my characteristic traits other than humor and wit...and voila! Now I check from time to time to be sure that I'm still reaching my target audience, it's all about marketing isn't it?

Posted: 8/18/2007 7:26:22 AM | Yuppers, I always check, to see who has viewed me.
It is a nice added feature to use, cuz it gives you a good idea of who is out there that are live and kicking in the pond.
Do I e-mail the person(s) who viewed me, sometimes I do.
If ya don't, then how will you ever know, if they are just viewing you as a passer by, or if they are viewing you, and possibly interested in you as a potential, but were afraid to write you.
It is all about making that all important C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-O-N, with that other person whether it be a woman or a man, that we arre ALL seeking and looking for in a potential mate?
The viewed me feature, combined with the search feature makes it a lot more easier to find that special someone that we ALL look for.
So, I say thumbs up to the viewed me feature. | |

Posted: 8/18/2007 11:18:28 PM | | I look sometimes, but I probably interpret it the opposite way that most people do. I think of it as "oh, here are a bunch of people who looked at my profile but didn't email me as a result." So rather than thinking they are a bunch of people who might be interested, if a guy viewed me and didn't contact me, then I won't bother getting interested in him, because to me, they've already shown that they weren't interested in me (unless I do get an email from him, of course). It is kind of interesting to see who is looking though, so I think it's a fun feature. | |

Posted: 8/19/2007 11:02:19 AM | ^^^ I do sometimes think the same way as DumplingGirl
if a guy viewed me and didn't contact me, then I won't bother getting interested in him, because to me, they've already shown that they weren't interested in me
But then again... that's not the case at all when I check someone out.. so maybe not?

Posted: 8/19/2007 11:43:37 AM | | To think that somebody is not interested if they didn't contact you if fine as long as you are comfortable with the amount of information on your profile. Many if not most of the profiles I look at do not have enough information for me to make a good decision. I wonder who I should "bother" by contacting them and who I shouldn't. I used to "bother" everybody that had a possiblity, leave no stone unturned theory. I would get about a 1% response rate. Now with this new viewed you aspect, most will see I looked and I mostly let their curiousity kick in and they can contact me if they want. I know I'll miss a few due to this type of thinking, but it's much better than bothering 99.9%, also I probably want somebody that is curious anyway. I still contact the really good ones. My situation is different than most on here, I don't fit the description that any are looking for, I would hope that they would have the foresight to think that maybe they should contact me even if I'm not exactly what they think they want, but most don't. My age makes me rather unmatchable in this world where advertisers have convinced everybody that preserving youth is most important. This and also the fact that with the internet everybody believes there is an absolute perfect match for everybody where all wishes and desires will be matched exactly and life will be only roses from then on, has made me learn I'll probably have to go overseas to find a match. In many countries overseas this rediculous obsession with youth has not taken hold, and people still judge somebody by who they are and not how many years they have lived. | |

Posted: 9/29/2007 12:21:00 AM | | Yes. because I like to see who is interested in me and sometimes write back to let them know that I would be interested in them. Some people are shy even over the computer so they check out someone and think they might not be liked by the person they were checking out. this way you can let them know that your interested aswell. | |

Posted: 9/29/2007 9:14:11 AM | | I do but I need to stop because it's not doing me any good. I check when I first log on in the morning and it's like 'great look at all the guys that looked at me but don't want to talk to me.' Or I check if someone instant messages me or sends me an email. It irks me when guys IM me or message me without reading my profile because then they ask all the questions that can be answered in the profile. For me it's just a list of people that don't want to talk to me, which I find kind of useless really. I was happier when it didn't exist. | |

Posted: 10/1/2007 1:44:14 AM | certainly - I need to stay on top of who among the preschool & geriatric crowds has checked me out this time 
if I want you to know that I've checked out your profile, you will  | |

Posted: 10/1/2007 11:05:59 AM | All the time! Probably use this feature more than any other. I guess it's a curiousity thing, plus it's been good for my ego, even though I know it doesn't mean a whole lot. Like someone else said......it somewhat indicates that your profile is on target.
I very rarely use the search feature, cause I don't see the point, as I am not comfortable making the first contact. (I don't window shop either.......if I can't afford to buy, I stay outa the stores......lol). | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 6:53:49 PM | | well... I checked but no one views me... so I clicked on my own profile a bunch of times to get my numbers up. But I am so much of a loser that I don't even show that I have viewed myself... | |

To many guys get the wrong idea if you view them.
I agree If I happen to look at a profile pic it does not mean im interested !!!!!!
in most cases there is something in it that caught my eye like a pet or surroundings
others are men I already know !!!!
as a Host I do look at members who sign up for events , more to find out location etc
and to remember them when they come up to say hi to me lol
but if I was at all interested I would take the time to say hi or comment on their profile.
I my self stay in stealth .............. | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 3:42:35 PM | Occasionally I will have a boo at who has viewed me, not often though, if they saw something they liked, wouldn't they have messaged ME? Just my opinion.
Now what I get a kick out of, is the guys who add you to their FAVES, but never even message to say Hello. I usually wait a couple days after I notice that they added me, and message them. Who knows, maybe he was just shy!! | |

Now what I get a kick out of, is the guys who add you to their FAVES, but never even message to say Hello my personal opinion is they are STALKERS. I have several & I TRIED PMing them but got no response, for the most part. Either they just like the picture or they want to know EXACTLY when I'm on line. Time to kick some "troll" butt, methinks.  | |

That's really not necessarily the case - there are a number of (really long) threads about this, I just commented in "Favorites List?????" on the Dating Experiences board.
Anyway, original topic, yes... yeah, I look occasionally - mostly just out of curiosity, I don't make any assumption that looking at my profile means they're interested in me (since it's easily possible it was from a forum post, or the random selection of "people online in the last 15 minutes", or they saw I added them to my favourites list, or whatever).
It's a lot like the favourites list actually - a site feature that doesn't really have a specific purpose, it's just information you can choose to pay attention to, or not. | |
