I am not stalking you, I am not even looking at your profile... I just accidentally hovered.
Hovering, seems so creepy doesn't it?

I was recently wondering what hovered meant-thanks for the post! I always use my phone on this site, maybe I’ll use a laptop-never hovered before!?

No problem with hovering or visiting. Nice to get to know people better here... 🙂

Exactly. Also if I find someone interesting, man or woman, I follow them. Doesn't mean I want to sleep with them.

Oh you can stalk me or accidentally hover my profile all you want !!! Always welcomed, make yourself at home please ???

I like the "hover" capability, as it's a quick way to learn (or remember) who someone is, before I reply to a post, so I don't need to "visit" their complete profile. But I don't like having all the "hovers" listed in my "recent visitors" list. I didn't realize (until now) that I can change my settings to not show the hovers. Yay! Thanks for tip!

My right thumb is in a huge cast right now, I accidentally click on people every time I login

What doesn't kill you, gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a sick twisted sense of humor.

"My own theory is that for creatures from another solar system 'hovering' may be a socially acceptable mode of relating. It may, indeed, be pleasurable. I myself once hovered over an eighteen-year-old actress for six months and had the best time of my life."

-Woody Allen, The UFO Menace

Sometimes my cat knocks the mouse and I hover.

Sometimes my hand wanders and I hover.

Sometimes I deliberately hover to see age or gender.... but I'm not being a stalker... Really! It's just more information about how to relate to someone. 😉

@Akfishlady Yup I don't even check who hovered on me. I know they find out I'm here for Community. 😉

How about "peaking"?

I'm usually curious when someone posts an interesting comment. @AMGT

There is a hover option on here? I have never seen this. But access on phone so I guess I am missing out. But viewing someone's profile should not be read into more than what it actually is. Just learning more about fellow members.

Absolutely!

It floors me when people -- usually men -- lament "Why are all these dudes checking me out?!?!" 98% of them likely are NOT checking the person out. I liken it to just noticing the new person at the BBQ.

Hover all you want. I hover all I want. Hover is a quick & easy way to see if some one is in the Uk or down the road a piece. If they are for community or looking for me. Yoo hoo. Here I am.

@Akfishlady Women are not creepy. & who cares what a stranger thinks. You got the T shirt. That is all that matters.

I always feel like a woman in a gas station bathroom when I hover.

Is that your fantasy?

you can turn it off.

Yep... I turned mine off. But I still receive about 5 hovers to every one visit.

Tell me how! Please!!!!

@Paul4747 in your settings: the top one is to turn off your own hover feature, the second one is not to see when you've been hovered.

@hankster I've been all over the settings menu and I can't find it. Freakin' driving me nuts.

@hankster Crap, I just found it. It's the "mini-profile" setting. I was looking for the actual word "hover".

Thanks.

I don't mind, I hover sometimes, mostly for location, or age.

I use a tablet, don't even have a "computer." Apparently hovering doesn't show on tablets.

It’s not creepy at all lol. You can hover on my profile ?

PaulD Level 5 July 23, 2018

...that’s actually given me some concern ..the guys profiles it must appear I’m ‘checking out’ (not) 😉

@Varn I’d take it as flattery if someone checked me out rotfl

2

Me too.. Sometimes the profile won’t go away! ...it’s why I ‘reduced mine.’
