I think Singmesweet pointed this out to me earlier about views and I guess I may be missing something here. I keep thinking about it so now I have to ask.

Guys and gals if you view someone's profile, perving as it has been called, allowing them to see that you looked, is this suppose to show this person you are interested?

I have always just thought they were going through the mutual match or something like that and viewed me. I never ever assume that it means they are interested.

How do ya'll see it, being viewed?

Profiles are meant to be looked at. I look for many different reasons.. very rarely because I'm actually interested in the person. So, I never assume that someone looking at my profile is interested in me.

I don't assume that a person is interested in me just because they view my profile. I view profiles occasionally but I'll admit, I stay in stealth.

If I'm interested I send an email. However, I often send an email to women that viewed my profile if she interests me.

I view everybody.

I think maybe some view others profiles because they may want to check on something this person said in a forum. I have never felt that if others view my profile that they were interested. I feel they were curious about something. If someone was interested then they would at the very least send a hi in a message. Of course, then there are the stealth pervers like me!

I just keep clicking and typing. It's all random.

<-- not shy

i look at everyones profile. and i like knowing that the girl knows i looked at her. its kinda like a girl catching you checking her out. it can be fun! window shopping is always free!

If it's someone from the forums chances are I looked at there profile because what they said caught my attention. If it's someone from a search than I was attracted to their picture. If I'm interested I'll send them an email. If I don't write I probably found something in the profile that I didn't think was compatible to myself. I've never thought that just because someone looked at my profile meant they were interested.

When I first joined JSH I thought the same thing, that if they looked apparently something caught their eye. So I would email every person that viewed my profile just to say hello or jokingly say I say you peeking

I got some really funny responses and some really rude ones too. That is when I decided that everyone looks and like Singmesweet says the profiles are there to be looked at.

I don't think people who look at my profile are interested. All you see at first is a picture. I look at profiles if someone says something interesting in a form.

But mostly, I look at a profile if someone sends me an email. I look at the profile before I read the email. To see what's going on with the person. Then I read the email. And use the combined info to decide if I bother replying or not.

No. Just because you're "perving" someone's profile does NOT mean you're interested in them. It could mean that the person in question said something rather pithy in a thread in one of the forums, and you've gotten curious as to what the person's all about... it could be that the person may have mentioned that they were from a particular part of the globe, and you might be interested as to where that might be... it might also have something to do with certain pics in a member's profile.

It could stem from any number of things, really. Not just interest or anything lascivious in nature.

I like to see where people are from.

Yep, that helps weed them out more as well...if they e-mail me back with something more than "lulzwut" then we are good to go. I wonder how long they stare at my profile though, that would be interesting on my part...

No, I dont assume the person is interested.I look at a lot of peoples profiles constantly and it isnt because I am "interested" in them. But I have my profile on stealth so I dont freak anybody out.

I check out everyones profiles..I like to see all the interesting things people have on theirs and see how they all compare...if I am actually "perving" you..I leave a testimonial sayin so..lol..I have a few!

Sometimes if you see someone interesting here, you want to find out more about them, but it does not necessarily mean I am interested in anything more than reading her details, if I'm still interested after reading her profile, I will contact her.

And consider yourselves perved!

I figure after they view your profile & they like something about you they will take some sort of action......I could be wrong.

Women only initiate 20% of the time. Unless of course your name is Patsfan and you're a hunk of burning love.
