quick ? woman views your profilePage 1 of 1    
a woman views your profile but makes no contact. Reading the forums I know a lot of women won't make contact. But to me if she views and won't even say hi then she's not interested enough to say hi. on the other hand she may not want to seem forward.

So Ladies, what should I do, msg, ignore it and go on. I've no wish to be intrusive or annoying so mostly I just ignore it but figured I may as well get your take on it.

Stop overthinking it. All that it means when someone "viewed" your profile, is that they opened it long enough to see what in the world you were up to in that tiny picture.

Ignore the "view" entirely in deciding whether YOU, upon viewing HER profile, find that you might like to try to get acquainted.

I don't think anyone will find it intrusive if you send a message, they will either ignore it or reply.

I too hold the same view as you. Looking but no message means no interest. Others don't and in fact, I have had many messages from people who have seen I looked at their profile. Due to that, I now opt not to leave a trail so I no longer get them. It wasn't that I found them intrusive though, merely that I got fed up writing back to people to say that I wasn't interested.

It is perfectly valid that some ladies don't initiate contract so what have you got to lose.

I agree with "Igor." Just message whoever YOU want to message, regardless of whether or not they viewed your profile. I know when I get a message, I always view the person's profile, even if it is one that I had already glanced at. And as the second poster alluded to, if you message someone who viewed your profile, it is best not to mention to them that you know that they viewed your profile. Once I got that reply, I also edited my profile, making my viewing history invisible.

You'll never know the answer definitively either way, unless you send her a message.
You could assume this or that.
Some assumptions are more reasonable than others.
If you are wondering, just put a stop to the angst by emailing her.
Or increase it when she doesn't answer, LOL!!!

I can tell you from my own experience, if I looked at your profile but didn't send a note, it's because I wasn't interested in starting a conversation. So if you are going to sit around making assumptions, that's probably an ok one to make, but then again it is an assumption and you have reason to believe otherwise (based on what you read on the forums). So if you want to go after some shrinking violet of woman who thinks looking at your profile and then backing off is a way to be demure and non-forward about her interest, then it certainly doesn't cost you much to send her an email to find out if it's true.

just because someone viewed my profile doesn't mean they like it...they could look at it and think.."ohh yuch" or "shes ok". just get in touch with who you want whether they looked at your profile or not. i can tell if a guy's viewed my profile or just looked at the pics...the minute we start talking politics...lol.

Op,do you email every single woman whose profile you've viewed?
No,of course NOT.

Oh and plenty of women are more than happy to send the first email.
"Shocking",i know.

Ugh, what's wrong with you guys?????

Why can't people just browse around?????

Viewing a profile, is just that. viewing

there's no obligation to message

Viewing a profile and not sending a message, doesn't mean anything!!!!

Viewing a profile means nothing. I mean how else can we search for potential mates? If I favorite you then do send a message if you are interested. It's a crap shoot anyway so take a chance if you like someone's profile ;).

Unless someone who viewed you does something else, such as add you as a fav, I wouldnt read anything int it. We all see people all day long, it doesnt mean we want to date them.

I'm the same as the others who got a creepy message from someone who noticed I had viewed his profile and then promptly went to hide my browsing. If I look at your profile and don't write a message to you or "Favorite" you or SOMETHING, I'm not interested. I can't figure out if I'm interested in you until I've viewed your profile.

She's trying to get you to post redundant threads on the forums about people who view your profile but don't contact you.

They don't contact you because they're not interested. You don't buy everything you look at when you go shopping, do you? Same principle.

And...

to see what in the world you were up to in that tiny picture. Thanks, Igor.

Because guys answer about half the time here which you would know if you had actually spent a fee minutes in this forum. In fact if you had just searched you could of already just read the answer to this versus asking the same question again.

Because I can.
Because someone who's been on POF over three years should know to do a thread seach and see that his thread subject has already been done to death.
You really ought to read the forum rules. Anyone can answer. And Polarization is against forum rules. Look it up in the forum rules if you don't know what that means.

P.S. You've already wasted 4 of your 21 replies by questioning why guys answered here.

If you like her profile, contact her. The worst thing that could happen is no response or a "No thanks" email. It's possible that she liked you. But didn't contact you because some women expect a man to make first contact. Or perhaps she felt that you wouldn't be interested in her.
