Hi

Viewing a profile is different than looking at a profile multiple times in a day.

@Jama765 i have not paid enough attention to know if anyone does that to me. i doubt it, though. but i know that sometimes if i see a post that piques my interest in some way, i go to that page, and i might go back to it later to make sure of what i saw, or because i saw another post by the same person (and maybe even forgot whether it was the same person). and i don't stalk people, either.

Exactly

I find it odd for someone to look at my profile 10 times in a day. I don't expect anyone to say hi. But to look at it that much is odd.

@Jama765 It might be incidental. It might be someone trying to work up the nerve to say "hello".
The use of "creep your profile" is a really negative snap judgment.
You don't know that's what's happening.
I mean, if you want to let it bother you, that's your call.

That's why I disabled that function.

PS: I’m always respectful. Many times a “hover” is accidental, you know...

@NoMagicCookie Thanks. I think I will too.

@Santanaman9 over 99% of my hovers were accidental. Wish that feature was by default disabled.

I meant when someone looks at your profile multiple times.

I use the app so that didnt even occure to me.

@Jama765 That makes a lot more sense to me now. I comprehend and acknowledge.

Agree, but do you look at a person's profile multiple times a day?

@Jama765 No I do not.

Mmmm, tacos.

If they gave tacos they could creep me all day. I guess I find it odd someone would look at a profile multiple times and never say hi. Why keep looking. Lol

@Jama765 With all due respect and with all of the responses you've gotten thus far, I don't know why it is you continue to profess you don't understand at this point. I would think someone might have gotten through to you by now considering so many plausible and similar responses have been made to your query.

I don't either. I meant the same people look at it multiple times and never say hi. Why keep looking. Lol

Very good points. Thank you!

@Jama765 You are very welcome.

I do as well. It is often time advisable to understand who you are posting in order to help you gage the nature of your response. I was lectured one time because I asked a question which was answered in her profile. She insisted guys never read bios and ask stupid questions. Never made that mistake again.

Agree. But do you look at someones profile 15 times a day?

Don't be scaring the woman now!

@Wildflower to late. Already started randomly following her, looked at her profile twice, and never left a message. ??

Maybe some unnecessary baseless paranoia everywhere, too, for some?!

Hi

Very nice train of thought. I enjoy other peoples perceptions.Thanks!!

I saw you looking!

I do not have a mouse on my NOT SO SMART GALAXY SAMSUNG phone

Very true. But I'm curious why someone looks at my profile over and over.

@Jama765 ask them directly not vaguely...s/he might assume you like her/him...and a direct question might stop the peeping...it's not creeping unless it's obvious when it continues after being confronted

@Jama765 What difference does it make? Good golly, it appears you're beating a dead horse into the ground, or are you simply using this query as a ploy for more attention which I don't think a young pretty lady like you actually needs more of?

@ScrabbleQueen first of off, this post is over 6 months old. Secondly, I would get notifications when someone looked at my profile. Some users looked 3 or 4 times daily. I asked a general question just to see what others had to say. I use the app on my phone and I actually learned that using the site on a laptop can cause it to appear as though the users looked multiple times a day. So, my question to you is do you have such a problem with someone learning how the site works and if so why.

@Jama765 friends only requested should deter creeps....I must say your red hair is stunning .....however many people have noted here that frequent posting is bound to cause a blip of followers....you write well thoughtfully and you are the median age here half younger half older so I get to use a new word complimenting you "doyenne"....when I am propositioned by gays I don't get angry or run....I say thank you I am flattered but I am a virgin in your expectations and only appreciate Feminist Atheists......that leaves a tiny window of hope if they are trans post OP but most are religious so I apologize for my inability to respect faith regarding alleged gawds

I am referring to the same person looking at it multiple times

Haha very true. My point was I notice some will look at my profile 7 times in a day.

@Jama765 if someone looked at my profile seven times a day I probably would not know it. But if they did , I think I'd ask them why they keep looking at my profile. That would either scare them to death or start a very good conversation.

Yes that is my search strategy geographically

You can remove ‘those nearby’ from your profile page, there’s an option in settings. Hope that helps.

It may just indicate a level of interest whether it be your bio, your pics, your details, or something else entirely. You could also just message and ask why.

I doubt that qualifies as window peepers who need binoculars or trespass to your window....geographically other people we might contact are listed below all profiles....peeping restrictions destroy community and reduces our posts to cliques and secret small groups

You are attractive and they are hesitant to communicate with you because they are shy. I used to be like that. Not on the internet, just in general.

What word is that?

@Jama765 conservative

@chucklesIII I do not have conservative on my profile. My city is Connersville. Could you have misread that?

@Jama765 Yes. I'm an idiot.

@chucklesIII You just cheeky.

@chucklesIII I felt like one trying to figure out why I'd have conservative on mine. Lol

I don't eother if it is just one time. But I get some that look at it multiple times multiple days.
