So, what motivates you to check out another member’s profile? Do you just search like a typical dating site? Or does your interest get piqued by a post?

Definitely, what they say in a post, especially if it's funny. I tend to like people who make me laugh.

A sense of humor helps a lot, in this day and age, with Mr. Cheeto trying to ruin our lives.

Sometimes i check because of a post at first i did check like a dating site but there was notnhing of interest and frankly mostly this is kinda lame too

Yeah bit of both. Either someone said something funny/insightful or they’re kinda cute or both ? or rarely someone said something so confusing or ignorant I have to check for context to see what their excuse might be.

If someone posts an intriguing comment, I will usually check their profile. I have curious mind, it's just that simple.

It would probably be the post first and then I'd look at the profile.

For me, I get my interest piqued by a clever post. Then I follow up. How about you?

It's definitely a post or a response to another's post that triggers my interest. Appealing looks are fine, but they can't hold a candle to a fascinating intellect and a shining personality.

Definitely!

Whenever I read something funny, intelligent or delightful, I'm intrigued. I click on the person's profile.

I have to confess... it's the picture...

0

Simply trying to get a better sense of who the person is, after reading some his or her remarks. .

I usually only check the one's near by, there is a limit on how far I'll drive to stalk someone. (Joking, I seldom look for relationships). I look for a clever turn of phrase, a well written retort, intelligent challenge-especially toward one of my posts.

I'm more likely to check out a profile after getting intrigued by interesting post. To be fair, sometimes it's about a cute face.

A bit of both, but probably more a post or response. A sense of humor is paramount for me, & then intelligence/curiosity. Appearance comes after those, usually. Not always, for my attention can be caught with looks, but without humor & brains it pales fast.

You are a very interesting person

General curiosity and i'd be lying if I said looks had nothing to do with it.

Isn't that why we are all here to begin with?

Always piqued by a post. Lol

1

Mostly because a post or commit. But sometimes just because I want to. Lol

2

If the woman has made a really cool post, has strong physio-psychological markers or unique features, then I will look to see if my impression matches up. I try to be objective and honest with myself, but dating material IS rare for its value.

3

If they're hunky... I have to check.

I don't look at profiles because I feel kind of creepy to do so... But apparently that's part of the point of the site, so I'm going to change that if someone seems to be cool/sound/interesting/funky.

2

Usually, it's something they said - or the way they said it .

Other times, it may just be because I like their picture for whatever reason ...

6

Almost always in response to something I read by them, whether a post or a comment, good or not so good, to shed further light on the personality behind what was said. Sometimes a post or comment strikes me as humorous or insightful, making me curious. Other times, an apparent negative post/comment will send me to the profile to see if this is an isolated negative or just part of where the person typically comes from.

It's usually one of 3 reasons.

  1. I saw something from them (post, comment, ect.) that piqued my interest.

  2. They responded to some post or comment I made and I get curious.

  3. Completely by accident while fumbling with my phone.

Regardless, at this point I'll usually wait for that person to reach out to me if their interested. Literally every single successful interaction I've had with online dating has come from the woman making the first move.

I check out many profiles to see the values a person holds, what groups they are in, the posts they make, where the reside, & what their interests are. I am not cruising for a date. I like the interaction of people that can contribute to my knowledge & correct me when I am wrong. I enjoy not feeling so isolated in my revulsion concerning the current administration in Washington DC. I want to spread the word about cannabis & want to see it legalized at the federal level before I die. It is the last of my quests/crusades that are yet to be fulfilled. All of the others are ofcourse threatened by tRump & his ilk, but all have come to fruition. Cannabis. The one last unfulfilled item on my life's list.
