I have no idea how old someone is (from the microscopic thumbnail that I see with the posts), until I go to their profile, which will register as a visit. Besides, this is a community, not just a dating site, so what does age matter between platonic adults?

...because church is often a social gossip club, where private info becomes currency … and the people you described aren’t going to church ..though apparently need a gossip fix

I like to know , especially if I am going to reply to someone's post / comment , who that someone is . I read a bio or whatever available, Bcz very often after I read, I see no reason to waste my x on a meaningful comment / reply .

I've noticed the terms "visited" and "hovered"...I think visit is an intentional look/see, hover may be intentional but just as easily cursor-creep...(I just hovered you )

Their finger slipped.

Some of us are naturally nosy . When I read an interesting comment, sometimes it just makes me curious about the person who said it, so I might go take a look. I have my settings so that, supposedly, people can't see if I have looked at their profile. If I actually take an interest, I can just send a "Hi" or better yet, a message.
