It is hard to know what someone is thinking when they “view” someone’s profile.

Perhaps they are seeing what someone is all about or seeing what is new with the person.
Perhaps they are jacking off to it and rolling on the floor.
Or perhaps they are viewing it out of curiosity and then wiping a tear away because they know they’re not compatible.

What are the reasons you all have actual knowledge of for viewing someone’s profile?

sorry.. i lost it at jacking off...

I "view" a lot of profiles...
Sadly, I find very few have anything to say about themselves ("later"..."just ask"), so..I just move to the next one..

And, some of these dudes have the temerity to message me..."saw you looked at my profile.."
Yeah, and I didn't see anything that interested me...*Had* I, I would have certainly have left a message, don't you think?

Ummm? Isn't the whole point of having a profile is so people can view it?


Usually if a woman checks me out more than a few times in one week, if I'm interested, I'll message her because she might be shy or waiting for me to make the first move.

I pay attention to women that view my profile and I will view theirs in return ~ a natural response. Only if they fit my search preferences tho.

I have my contact filters set.
I get a lot of views from 20-40 something all over the country and sometimes the world. It tells me how many scammers there are trying to reach me. Since they can't contact me, no harm / no foul.

I think dating sites would get really boring if nobody could view other profiles. What would be the point of using them?

Lawd take me downtown
I just lookin for some tush

Haha

These are all good observations and thoughts.

To see boobies.

Some reasons I view a profile: they are good looking. They live relatively near me and close to my age. They live in a town that I've been to, a town I liked, and want to see what they have to say.

You said:

*I* am not shy, or waiting for the guy to make the first move.
If I look at a profile, and don't message...I didn't see anything that interested me.

If I accidently happen to look at someone's profile twice in one week (after looking once and not leaving a message)..that's just that, an accident..

Sometimes I just profile surf and look at what they have to say...

Other times it’s for stalking...

I understand that everyone is different but there are women that do like to be messaged first and will repeatedly check your profile when they are interested, waiting for you to make the first move.

Personally, I prefer a woman to message me first.

When guys view my profile and don't send a message, they have reasons. It's ok with me. They may be curious and that's all.

I look at profiles out of curiosity.
When i see forum posts that catch my attention or reveal something about a person, i will read their profile to learn a little more about the person.
When someone messages me, i will see who it is that is contacting me.

Yup, and butts.

Well we nosy that's why

Gotta be stalking. I took stalking in school and I am just trying to show my professors that I still remember what they taught.

If it's someone from the forums, I'll check to see where they say they are from most of the time.

If I find someones main pic interesting, I'll check to see where they're from, then I'll see what they have to say, if they're close enough. If they have nothing to say, I move on.

If I go through matches, the first and most obvious thing is the photo. Depending on the content in the photos and the persons smile and eyes(a big focus for me), if that catches my interest, I then read the profile to figure out whether I would be a proper 'match' for them based on similar interests, values, and life experience.


And sometimes, when people post things particularly impressive or particularly insane, I get curious to know how they described themself and may also read a profile.

back when i was looking , if someone caught my eye or said something in forum that i noticed , i would go to see what they had to say on it , get a better idea if it was a waist of are time to even bother them (might love doing things that i have no interest in or be more looking for some one to just tickle there inerds )

to each there own , i don't judge , life is to short and i am to messed up myself to think that i am better then anyone esle

now a days i just go to see if my idea of there email was right that they are just looking to get me off sight as fast as they can so sight can't catch them and boot them

because i hate to waist some one's time that is real

with
(email from them)give me your gmail because i think i love you

(me)G-mail , i don't know what that is ? ? ?what is that ?

(email)it's an email system so we can talk and i can share pics with you of me

(me)why would i use Granny mail , you don't look old enough to be a granny , how many kids did you have ? etc etc etc etc

<shrug> waist my time , i will waist yours : ) ~
