I also sometimes will click to see if they may be interested and respond back. | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 9:23:22 PM | | The small pictures are hard to see unless I view the profile. I like reading what a persons profile says too. Then I get tons of IM's and emails and I don't like this. Just because I view a profile does not mean I want to date or meet that person. Another thing I dont like is when someone adds you to their favorites and I remove them and they keep adding me back. | |

Remove your filters ,what do you have to loose? | |

Sounds as if, OP, that you wished someone you noticed viewed
your profile would have contacted you and they didn't.
does that Bother you that some one would take enough time to
read up on you and find that you weren't what they were looking for?
i don't put much value into someone reading mine, even when i
was looking!! If i like what i read and was looking, then i wrote them.
If they didn't like me then they didn't respond. No Biggie!!!
Just my 2pence | |

Posted: 8/6/2007 10:30:55 PM | Another waste of bandwidth. All it means is they "looked at your profile"! Nothing more, nothing less.  | |

Posted: 8/24/2007 3:33:36 PM | I understand what you're saying.
I do that a lot now. When I first joined this website, I messaged every single lady I showed interest in.
It was basically a mass-email that was personalized to each person. And to the fine looking ones, I sent a gift. About 15 of them.
So, in total I must have sent out like 40 or 50 emails/messages.
I got 5 replies back.
Most of them were read and then deleted.
I didn't say anything provocative or stupid.
I basically introduced myself and wished them a happy day-whatever day that was.
Very slowly after that, I got some emails and messages from people who basically are looking for friendship only.
And that's how its been for me since then.
Because of that experience however, it changed the way I use this site.
I sign in, check inbox (usually 0), lol, and then check who's viewed me. I view everyone who viewed me...and once in a while, I get a response from those ladies.
So, if you see me on the list of people who viewed you, I was just doing that...viewing you because either you were on my list or I found you in this blog.
But its all good, these experiences are essential for a true understanding of the world of human dating and relationships.

Posted: 8/24/2007 4:55:53 PM | When people view your profile, I just figure that they liked the picture they saw. Truth is Truth, the LOOK is what people go for at first.
Maybe they saw additional pix and read your profile and didn't want to pursue it.
I'm sure you don't contact EVERY person that you view.
Keep looking... | |

Posted: 8/25/2007 11:09:02 PM | | You know sometimes it is just looking. I see something that catches my eye then I read the whole profile and move on - not what I am looking for. I personally think that if that person that "viewed" you is interested, then they will message you. | |
|
| What does it mean when.......
Posted: 8/26/2007 6:15:54 AM | | Probably means they found your picture attractive, and wanted to find out more. Maybe they did, and decided not to contact you for any number of reasons. Can't hurt to contact them though, maybe they were on the fence, and your email nudges them on :) | |

Posted: 8/26/2007 7:44:17 AM | Reasons why I look are
1. I am interested in you
2. I saw what you wrote in forum and I liked it
3. I saw what you wrote in forum and was totally disgusted with it and can't believe you would say a thing so had to see what this psycho looks like.
4. I saw what you wrote in forum and then see you are out of my age range.
5. I can't tell if you are a man or woman.
6. You looked at me.
7. There is a gratuitous cleavage shot and I want to see whats above it. And also below.
I think thats about it. | |

Thats basically what I was trying to say in a nutshell.

Posted: 3/1/2008 11:53:07 PM | | I will look at a profile if I find that person to be attractive. More often than not I will not message or email that person unless they have a particularly interesting or eye catching comment. Most are the same old story , waliking on the beach, cuddling, sky diving, yadda yadda yadda. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 12:31:12 AM | its a compliment....sorta. Your picture (if you have one) attracted him...but something in your profile obviously didn't. | |
|
| What does it mean when.......
Posted: 7/5/2008 5:34:01 PM | One thing I'm surprised that no one mentioned....sometimes when you are looking at someone's profile, they have testimonials up. You need to click on it to see if they are actually close enough to have actually met and KNOW for a fact that he is a gentleman....or if they are just guessing.
Also, my daughter is on this site, too. I get some views from guys a lot younger than me, so I'd ask her if he was writing to her or if he had her on his favs...sure enough, he did. See what I mean? I also sometimes look at the profiles of her testimonials to see what kind of men are contacting her....just for fun..and I'm SURELY not interested in guys in their 20's!
Also. like others said, sometimes you can't see the thumbnail isn't too good....or even if it is, you don't know if he is even your type until you read the profile.
I WILL admit, though, that SOMETIMES I DO find some that are interesting, but I may be writing to someone who I find fascinating and want to wait to see if it goes anywhere first. I'd put them in favs, but I've read where some get offended by that if it isn't followed right away by an email, so I quit.
Just for the record, I have nothing against emailing a guy first, but just like in real life, sometimes the timing isn't right.

Posted: 7/5/2008 5:52:46 PM | | Way I see it is, if they view your profile and don't reply, they either hope you'll take the initiative to send a message or they're not interested. Simple. | |

| Got 5 hotties viewing me now...
Posted: 7/5/2008 6:18:24 PM | ...one did email me, the rest haven't said boo, even tho I have emailed them.
I am curious as to why they keep looking me up. I suspect its only b/c I see them on the view me log, I check them out, they probably see me on their 'log, so they check back. Too bad for me, but then, most of 'em are outside my state (one isn't tho :( ), so I guess I'm better off not knowing what I'm missing out on 
I say, go ahead and email those who seem to have their own membership on your view me. If they respond,great. If not...well,they know you're interested. Hopefully they are just shy, and will get over it soon :) | |

| Well, I've got SIX hotties viewing me now...!
Posted: 7/5/2008 6:51:17 PM | It's too funny. I don't think anyone has mentioned the obvious explanation: someone looks at your profile and makes NO decision one way or the other! Didn't you do that very thing today, or this week at least? I know I do it all the time.
It's called BROWSING.
Sheesh!

What is it with folks who get crazy over people viewing their profile and not contacting them? It's not that big of a deal, people, so let it go! | |
|
| What does it mean when.......
Posted: 7/5/2008 7:41:41 PM | If you are curious why someone peeked, just ask them. I've made several nice friends on POF that way. Some people won't respond, others will.
I think the reasons people look have all been listed.

Posted: 7/5/2008 7:47:01 PM | | Sometimes I am just interested in more details about the person who could make such a _______post. | |

| What does it mean when.......
Posted: 7/6/2008 7:11:21 AM | It simply means that something attracted them enough to go to your profile...either your pic, or something you posted in a forum. An interesting statement you might make in a forum will cause someone to want to know a little more about you. For instance, your profile often shows your last five forum posts. They sometimes tell more about you than you profile itself does.
About the "who viewed me" feature...as a previous post says, you can select to hide the fact that you have viewed a profile. You can also hide your own profile. I've done both...mostly because I am only here for the forums these days. I've kind of given up on the "looking for someone" thing due to some past experiences, but I still like to read some ladies' profiles...curiosity, I guess. But I feel that since I'm not "in search of someone", it would not be fair to make them think that I was checking them out as a "possibility", so I remain "underground"...both with the profile and who I have viewed. So, obviously, no one every show as having "viewed my profile". | |
