I do that a lot too. It is good to see who is posting or messaging. I notice that a lot of profiles that don't have much info in them get messages from others saying to put up some info. Hovers happen a lot by accident too. If I were a real stalker I would turn that feature off. No one knows how many of them there are on here checking us out and we don't know it. I have made several by accident just making this comment. I get a lot of hovers and not many visits, mostly from men. Do the women not hover or view or do they have it turned off. I hover on most posts and comments. I like to know who is making them.

Sometimes they come up when just moving past a member. Then it stays and I have trouble getting it to go away.

I can appreciate that comment. Happens to me often. I wrote them about it, asking how to "turn hovering" off. They basically said it can't be done at this time. I mean... to navigate the cursor, it's easily to accidentally hover over someone. Gives a very false impression...

I’m sure that’s not a problem!

Turn it off under settings.

I always wondered what would you want from me?

It's not like you are going to show up on my doorstep. Most people that have been around for a while understand that people check out other people not just for dating, but also to check on background before replying or ignoring.

I’d done the same! ...someone described a way of disabling that function. I did, so no longer appear to be inappropriately checking out guys or (too) young women

That happens to me all the time, too (plus, my mouse "drifts" ). You can turn it off, or just trust that most people are good-natured about it.
