Viewed profile

Hi,

Are their any plans to develop a system whereby you can see who has recently viewed your profile ?

Hi Iamhappy,
Yes that is a good comment you suggested!!! If like myself I find it difficult to write about me as a person. Maybe people can be "Put OFF" by what they read and maybe by taking a chance and chat or message, the ladies on here perhaps one may see a person in a different light! After all you can't judge a book by its cover!!

A couple of other sites  I'm on do have a "who's viewed you" system. It then lets you reply if you wish by sending a wink/message/email.

Re: Viewed profile

I think the anonymity is nice, I dont want to get messages saying "hey, you checked me out, why didnt you send me a message".

Re: Viewed profile

I agree with Ice-maiden.  otherwise surely there would be lots of 'you've been checked out by bla bla bla'  and we'd be wondering why didn't bla bla contact us?  if someone checks out our profile and sees similar values, interests or whatever they will contact us.  i think that we all have little lines, statements and even certain words used that make us think no i'd have nothing in common with that person or that we wouldn't get along or whatever.  when we read profiles there's things that make us either want to get to know the person or not.  and in the case of the ppl that checked out our profile and thought 'no not so much' it's prob that we don't know about that!!  and then we're able to focus on the ppl who related to our profile in some way or who would be interested in talking and getting to know us

What's the point in knowing Ive checked out your profile?  

Im equally likely to check out the profile of someone who's written complete racist/sexist/stupid crap as I am to check out the profile of someone who's written something clever/funny/insightful.  

So unless I go on to send you a message, you'll only know I checked out your profile, not why.

Re: Viewed profile

why would you want to do that?

Re: Viewed profile

I agree with most of what everyone is saying.
If someone has written some sexist/racist drivel and people are talking about it then I probably would go for a 'nose' just to read it.
Also if I viewed someone's profile because they were my similar age or location, it doesn't necessarily mean I want to contact them.
We check people out in public all the time, in bars, clubs, at work, in the supermarket etc, but it doesn't mean we will always go over and talk to them. Sometimes it's just nice to look.
And sometimes it's nicer to look at a pretty girl, when she doesn't know it and admire from afar. It's kinda the same principle on here.

I agree with whoever said that it would cause people to wonder why someone had checked out their profile and not bothered to write a message.

Re: Viewed profile

I check profiles out all the time. Not to contact somebody, but to reply to something they have written in the forums. It helps to know the age of the person you are referring to, their relationship status and some other background info, such as where they live etc etc. It just makes the conversation more relevant and real. After all, it is cyberspace and a person's profile is generally all you have to go on.

It probably depends on whether you view the sofa as primarily a dating site, or more as a space for discussion in the forums.

Personally I don't think it's important to know who has looked at your profile. Ignorance is bliss, I agree. People will send smiles and/or messages if they have an interest anyway.

Cheers
Maggie
