You Lookin At Me?
Posted: 1/18/2008 12:19:55 PM
So Im curious... when someone looks at you in the view me section and doesnt message you, what do you think?

Not Interested?
Shy?
Thinking about messaging?


What if the same person sees you a few times?

Super Shy?
Hoping you'll message them?
Still thinking?
Just perving your new pictures? lol

Do you ever message people who have viewed you, but not messaged?

I view many women without contacting them. The reason for not ncontacting them is due to the fact that distance is an issue. I'm not into conversing with those whom I will not meet. Neither do I converse with those who make it clear I am not matching their criteria. I have shared conversation with total strangers but... I bore rather quickly in that respect.

There are many very attractive women with whom I revisit their profile just to see their updated photos (if any) and possibly check to see what thread topics they like - sometimes a thread topic can inspire a great conversation.

I'm not pervin' unless asked specifically to do so.

If you post, we look.

Only doesn't show the women if you are one. And vice versa.

Peeking by posters is common to get a good look at a profile for an interesting post and so on.

I may have viewed a person a few times to decide if I should message them, found them attractive, wanted to further check their profile, or check for recent photos and profile changes. Even if I have messaged them previously and they never replied. It does not necessarily mean anything specific.

Take the initiative, message them! I have messaged a few people that viewed me and never sent me a message. I always check those that viewed me and take it from there.

The best way to approach the Viewed Me feature is to ignore it.

i always look at their profiles and see what they have to say about themselves, and whether there might be an enjoyable conversation to be had... to be honest, I'm glad they saw something they liked enough to make them look more.

I don't really pay attention to it - it does make me laugh though if someone I know well is on there! If I look at someone it's usually 'cause the pic caught my eye. Like I have to go see it to believe it!!! hehehe

That I'm good from afar, but far from good.

What if the same person sees you a few times?
That they don't know how to shut off the "viewed me" feature, that they have too much time on their hands, and if I actually remember that someone viewed me twice, that perhaps I have too much on mine.

Do you ever message people who have viewed you, but not messaged?
No, 'cause if they were enthralled after viewing me, they would have messaged. That and sometimes the people that do message me creep me out anyway.

I never look at who viewed me...i figure those who view me but choose not to email, probably something in my profile that they thought, neh, not for me. Not everyone wants what i'm offering--not all men are into BBWs, some don't want non-smokers, some might think i'm just too nutty, maybe my words are too big..who knows LOL

Heck, i sneak peaks at people all the time just for the heck of it, or maybe because they've said something interesting in the forums, and sometimes cause they catch my eye and I am curious to know what is behind that smile.

People as a general rule like to window shop, doesn't necessarily mean they want to buy

helios1971 was looking at me the other day(now all the girls can be jealous).. then i looked at him

It was good for me.. very "orgasmic"

I look at alot of people that post. First line of my profile states
"Thats right I was looking at your profile. Doesn't mean squat other than I was looking at your profile, or DOES IT?"
Just to mess the curious that see me viewing them up a bit more.

There was a similar thread earlier this week, but I'll post my thoughts anyway.

I don't place any importance on the viewed me feature. In fact, I have mine turned off. I read the forums a lot and will almost always view the OP or the profile of some posters--regardless of gender even. It's not like I go around talking to people and shielding my eyes from their face if they happen to be a guy, or only look at women when I talk to them if I find them attractive. I just like to put a face to the comments, so I look at tons of profiles and more often than not it has nothing to do with sizing up romantic interest.

So I turn it off so that people don't misinterpret my viewing their profile as an indication of interest. I think it's quite a stretch to think that just because someone glanced your way that they must be interested. So I pay no mind whatsoever to who has viewed me. Favorites, okay I can maybe see a stronger argument to link interest with adding to a favorites list. But simply viewing a profile, no that's not a sign of interest in my opinion.

As someone posted in the earlier thread ( I forget who, so cannot give credit), just because you're looking at the menu, does not mean you intend to order from it.

I haunt the forums. Sometimes I like to see a bit more about the person, who's posting has caught my attention.

Other times, I see a pic of someone, who, for some reason, I find interesting, and get curious to know more.

Being one of the over-the-hill gang...I don't think so much about the dating thing in here. I have galpals in the real world, who know me....there's a difference.

Ever so very rarely, I'll message someone that, I find exceptionally interesting/attractive. Sometimes it leads to some great further chats, and at others, it's a read/delete.

There are a few that I've "met" in here that I'd make a point of trying to meet in person, if, for any reason, I found myself heading towards their neighbourhood.

For me, it's more about a meeting of minds.

That said, I'm still a sucker for a happy and open smile!

That is definetely stupid feature on POF. It confuses a lot of people. I never hide this option and everyone can see if I view his profile and his pictures. Many guys write me back asking why I did not contact them when viewed them .. Funny ! Or, some other write back and thank me for viewing their profiles.. Funny again ! If I view and do not write it apperently means I am not interested in chatting or meeting him. Right !
The same is happening to me . I look at 'who view me' but who cares why they look and never contact . They have reasons . They are not shy for sure if do not contact!

I'm off the fish market, as it were, but I'm definitely guilty of being a "poster peeker". Doesn't really mean anything other than I'm trying to get a sense of the person behind the written words, regardless of gender, especially if I'm about to reply.

I think it's just checking out if they're only viewing. If they add you as a favourite then that signals an interest.

Got some pretty hot ladies checkin me out but I think they must be shy :( Dont worry I don't bite ladies so go ahead and send me an e-mail! You know you want too!

I think im still shy too and maybe I should just take the plunge one of these days! lol

Some days I like to do the hunting and other days I challenge the ladies to chase me!

Its a good feature so that I know what kind of ladies are pondering whether they want me or not...well ladies i want you too! So lets do it!
