Does anyone else notice people creep your profile but never say "Hi"? And by creep I mean look at it over and over.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I look at profiles, read bios and look at photos all the time. If it doesn't seem interesting enough to start a conversation, I don't. I don't think I'm being creepy.

I don't either. I meant the same people look at it multiple times and never say hi. Why keep looking. Lol
Creeping around the corner to say....
"Hi"?

Hi
Hmm... looking at peoples profiles is kinda of the point... i think it’s fine. If I didn’t want people to see it I wouldn’t post it. I actually don’t look much probably because I think lots of people feel as you do. It says on my profile that I’m here for community so in my mind it’s just hanging out with other nonbelievers. Seems the visit itself is like saying hi.. I peak at my phone while living my life.. I can’t always post or interact in full. So I’m cool with it. As for how you feel, your certainly are permitted your own take and ways. That’s the trick though, we have different sensibilities so we will likely never get a consensus.

I am referring to the same person looking at it multiple times
I'm going to guess you are defining "creep" as the "hover" feature. If you use a computer (like I do) to navigate, by default as you mouse over a user, it brings up information. This was bringing up a half dozen users every minute so I turned that feature off a very long time ago.

Thank you! I only use the app so I was unaware of that feature. Could explain a lot!
I'm ok with the old guys not saying hi.
Anyway, hi!

The "old guys" on this site are some of the most interesting members here.
I find them FAR more interesting than a lot of the vapid, self-involved, others that have been popping up.
Lol coming from an old guy
@dokala I am unconcerned about how anyone feels about my "approach".
They can't handle being confronted about their bullshit. They have no use for the truth, and have no issue living their lives fact-free.
I happily call them on that. They like to accuse anyone who doesn't agree with them of being a liberal, or a democrat. I am neither. They resort to insults. They can't handle being challenged on anything. My approach is just fine. I'm not here to blindly go along with anyone.
I am unapologetically who I am.
It’s the internet and a public forum
It’s hardly creeping
Shit I check out dozens of people’s pages
Why would I say hi?

It's not like peeking through the window of your home or something

Haha very true. My point was I notice some will look at my profile 7 times in a day.
Well I have never gotten a reply whenever I said Hi so I stopped.

Well, Hi.
@Jama765 hello there
I check out profiles to see who l am responding to all the time. I went into my settings and changed it so people don't know if l visited their profile just for that reason. I forget who folks are sometimes. Some people change their main photo and I go there to see if it is someone new, only to see they are not. I don't see any reason to say hi if I don't really want to get acquainted.

sometimes just moving my mouse hovers. and then other times, i mean to click one thing and wind up on a profile.
also, there are times when i find something interesting and i check out a profile to see other posts/comments. it's not necessarily 'creeping'.

I think it's a way for people to get to know you, especially if you're making posts or replies. We have profiles with information that helps others know who we are. I think just because someone checks a profile it doesn't mean they are creeping.

Yeah. So?
No one is obligated to say "hello" or any other damned thing.
Kind of silly to expect that.

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.
in what way is clicking on your name to go see who you are when you've made a post they like, or dislike, equal creeping? there is no obligation or need for anyone to say hi just because they checked out your page. what if they checked out 20 pages? do they need to say hi? if everyone who visited my page said hi to me, i'd be creeped out by that!

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.

Everyone is just curious about people here and want to see some info about them not necessarily wanting to chat. I do it all the time as has others said the same.

I hover over profiles all the time, to get a sense of who is behind a comment on a post. I wouldn't bother them by saying "hi" in that case.

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?
