Hello!
Glad you have joined us!
I visit profiles after I read peoples comments on the posts. It doesn't mean I'm necessarily interested in them as potential partners. I usually want to put their comments in context, or see where they are from, etc,.. I'm nosey about our community thing.
Enjoy! Keep posting!

Hello, how are you Amisja?

I look at many people's profile pages to get a feel for where they are coming from -- what their bio says, where they live, how old they are, and when they joined the site.

I might also click on somebody's profile to find posts or comments I remember them making.

My looking at a profile page/bio is not indicative of my interest in having a private conversation or wanting to date that person.

For some people, they are checking out profiles for that reason -- and that's great! But, I'm sure that's not the case for everbody.

That said, there are times I'd like to say "Hi" or "Welcome" just based on somebody's profile/joining. I see above that Admin is working on that.

So, Hi! And, Welcome!

Hello!!! How are you? Hope you're haveing a good Monday!

Hi there. Hope you had a good day today.

You look a very nice lady here is my greeting im new here still finding how this works. Im in New Zealand the land of the long white cloud.

hello

Well I stopped by your page go give you a big Welcome and and a Huge Hello! Join groups, post, and have fun!

You totally rock for using the term ‘front room’. I agree also. I have lots of lurkers. Many of them don’t say hi. I just figure they’re not interested.

Hi how are you ? I don't quite understand the idea of this site

Hi

Hello

Hellay.

Why I visit a profile?

To see if the person "is what I am looking for". OK? Well, let say I find a gent that fulfills most of what I want in a partner...but he lives 2,000Kms /miles away. You can bet your nose -and win- I won't say hello to that person.

Hello

Hello....welcome to the site. I'm sure you will make friends....just takes a little while.

Hello. I just visited your profile; I don't think I had been there before.
Most of us are friendly, but that is usually accompanied by curiosity. Please don't take offense.

Online communications are different than real life ones. If I message you online it's immediately a private conversation. As others have said there's no friendly greeting option, but even if there were it would be seen as a less committal intro to said private conversation.

Unless there's a chat room option where everything is real time it doesn't seems like a friendly "hi there" will really ever be common

I don't look at profiles or could care less about age, height, color, creed or nation of Origin. I don't talk to Profiles if that makes more sense.

I don't mind a drive-by.

Well, howdy!

Hello! Some people may just be checking you out. But I've got the guts to say hi!
