Last time this came up I think @Sooson said sometimes there are creeps that check out profiles to ogle women, but that's not everyone on here
@pmvines I thought @CharlesGrove ’s comment was apt. Looking up 1st amendment audit videos now…
@pmvines
Um, I’m honestly leery of looking that up.
Seems like I would go on a list immediately, yeah?
Lol it's the videos where people film in public because they can and it's their first amendment and the police show up to press them on their constitutional rights to be filming in public. It's a genre in itself
@pmvines Ah! Got it.
Yeah, thanks, but I avoid police whenever I can, even via media.
@CharlesGrove
I am on multiple lists due to my hobbies, it’s not that bad 😂 I am still able to pass a very thorough background check 👍
I’ve bought things that are perfectly legal to own, with the proper permits, where I currently live. However I have to figure out what to do with those items because they are illegal where I am moving for the next couple of years.
Fairly often I look up a profile if I don’t know where that town is.
I get really annoyed when I'm browsing for a cuddler and I get an email from someone whose profile I looked at that more or less is asking me "why'd you look at my profile". As a pro, you gave to figure that a lot of people are going to look at your profile in their search for a match and a fair number of those people aren't going to select you to be their cuddler.
Some of the time, it's because the profile shows your town, not your state. I get a lot of views from Canada because they see "Windsor" and think it's Windsor, Ontario. And I have viewed profiles when the town name is the same as one near me, only to find out they are halfway across the country.
I’m old, ok?
My mind wanders, my focus drifts, my short term memory has more flaws than capitalism.
So, sometimes (usually) I check your profile because you checked my profile but I forgot that I checked your profile.
And then you check my profile AGAIN, in a WTF sort of way, and then I check your profile AGAIN because I still can’t remember that I already checked it. TWICE. Or more..
So, not some sort of dark creepy thing with me.
I’m just lost, and probably need a cup of hot chocolate.
@CharlesGrove we are the same in this sense.
@CharlesGrove same happens to me occasionally
I am a guy but often don’t like this for a couple of reasons.
I was talking to a girl once and she was telling me about how this client of hers was getting super possessive and creepy and she didn’t like it. Next thing you know this same guy was checking out my profile. My profile is muted so I don’t show up in searches but I had left some positive karma and he was seemingly checking out the competition for this girl. Ever since then I admittedly get a weird feeling when guys show up out of the blue checking out my profile. If it’s due to a recent forum post like this then whatever but otherwise I don’t understand why guys cruise the profiles of other guys from the feedback section of girls. Like what’s the point of this activity? Every time I leave positive karma I get a sudden spike in this activity from some guys who are seemingly watching that profile too hard. I’m sure I’m paranoid but this just odd that multiple people would do this immediately after leaving feedback.
I have had guys check out my profile multiple times in a short period of time. If I am in searches and fit what they are looking for I would understand. I am not. Just not sure why another guy would hone in and check me out three times over a weekend when I don’t even show up in searches, have no pictures, etc. Again just seems odd.
@hoosierdan76 maybe someone who saw one of your forum posts and looked at your profile to get a sense of context/who was saying whatever you were saying? Lots of people do that.
@CharlesGrove lol I've done that many times. Look at the profile and see 'oh yeah i was browsing that profile, that's probably why they looked at mine'. It will often repeat a few times though.
@pmvines I only block visitors I will never cuddle or pros. It keeps my visitors list current with enthusiasts only.
@PeopleLikeUs You mean to tell me we aren't going to cuddle ? Dang it !
I mostly look at ones who look at mine. I never say anything. I'll sometimes look a a profile of someone I think wrote something interesting on these forums also.
@Sooson said sometimes there are creeps that check out profiles to ogle women
I agree with THIS, as I have blocked a lot for doing this. Especially, when I send an introduction message and they don't respond back...Yet, they continue clicking on my profile anyway! Lol😆
Yeah, I am thinking "they're likely being creepy here, gonna block now".😁👍
@Sooson I appreciate you for mentioning that elsewhere in another discussion thread, Sooson.😁🫂
Sometimes I do revisit profiles just to remind myself of who they are.
😁👍
@Kegman Lol! I'm guilty of doing that too, especially with cuddlers either in Gainesville or nearby Gainesville.😄
Maybe I’m an oddball, but I like logging in and seeing how many new people viewed my profile. It’s what it’s there for!
I just did.
Not at all. I am outgoing and enjoy connecting this way; hopefully that’s clear in my profile 😊
I’ll add that as the visitor of other profiles, it’s much more likely to have nonproductive repeated views result when there is no profile picture. No picture makes it much less like to be memorable and thus meaningless repetition is more likely.
