I don't know about "stealth". Where do I find that button? So, all those young hotties out there who are creeped out attention from us pervs could be getting all kinds of attention without even knowing it?
Yes it's in your settings.

But I don't worry about who sees me viewing them anymore

That may be a gender thing. No man is going to have a problem getting attention from a woman, regardless of age or how attractive he finds her. Men's egos know no boundaries. Many women seem to be quite different.

I sometimes wonder about the 20-30 old guys who are not forum users who check my profile. I feel like they are just cruising the site, see a picture they like and go check it out. Nothing wrong with that on a WW dating site, I just wonder what they are thinking checking out someone old enough to be their mom. Especially the ones who's headings say they are looking for a serious relationship.

artlo, I don't think you have ever perved me, feel free!! LOL

Hey how do you quote just part of a post? I have tried to highlight it but so far this doesn't seem to work for me?

how often do you check out people's profiles? I often have the urge to check out people who are totally inappropriate for a date. I know that it will not offend anybody, yet, in the back of my mind, I have the fear that some 30-something cutie-pie is going to be thinking, "Why is this dirty old man checking me out? What is he thinking"? Is this fear unique to me?


It's meaningless. If they message you, that may be something though.

Seamac, just delete the parts you don't want to quote when the message window comes up. :wink:

Just select the part you want to quote. Copy it. Then, in your post, paste your quote and surround it in "[quite} . . . your quote . . .[/quite] . ( replace "quite" with "quote").

When I first started I viewed a bunch of women's profiles to get an idea of what people wrote..

Then I discovered that you can see who viewed you oops ...oh well

I think about what some might think when I check them out...but thats what the profiles are for...right..

Plus sometimes they check me out in return...and then we start to chat...so perv on

I sometimes just browse the profiles (men) but will check out women if they are in a forum just to see where they are from, what they llike to do.. I've found a couple of women that like to ride motorcycle like me but are not "biker chics"..lol

Damn! I wish I had never started this thread. Now I am obsessing on the question. I was just about to check out the profile of a gal who, I think, is in her 30s. Just because I wanted to know more about who she is. I think I'm going to do it, but I'll include a little message.

well, I recently looked at a profile and sent her a little message to the effect, "I'm not hitting on you. You're cuter than a bucket-o-puppies and I had to get a better look at you. Ciao." She wrote me a very sweet and cute message back.

I guess my question is better put, what do you think when you get a view from somebody who you would never consider dating?


The message you sent is very clear, Art. There's no other thing to think about it, at least in my own point of you.

Personally, when my profile gets viewed by anybody I think that maybe they became curious because of my recent input in the forums or by my profile pic. The very reason I decided to download more pictures showing me in my different moods so as not to misrepresent myself laugh biggrin

You are a decent person to be mistaken as perving, my friend. Don't worry too much drinker

I check out profiles all the time. Most of them are people I am not interested in dating. Most are also from the forums. Some are friends of mine who have changed pictures and I want to see those pictures a bit better, or just want to check and see if they've updated anything on their profile. Profiles are there to be looked at, but if you're really worried about people being bothered by it, do it in stealth mode.

Unless you're looking for the same sex i.e. woman looking for woman or man looking for man" the same sex can't see that you looked at their profile...


I look at profiles of people that post in the forums and have said something interesting or completely ridiculous... It makes me want to get an idea of what they're about... And those that have looked at mine if I think they look interesting or very young.. Other than that I don't look at profiles...

I am a dirty old man myself, and very proud of it.

I seldom check out chicks, for the photo value of young girls, except when they are outstanding and really cool and chicky and sexy. Like vivian here, second poster in this thread.

Nobody ever checks me out. I am the human equivalent to "Empirio-criticism" by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, on the shelves of the Budapest Public Library.

Is stealth the same as "stalk", or more like "every move you make, every breath you take"?

i look when i want too! it is sometimes someone who looked at mine, sometimes when a person i know or cant remember changes their pictures, sometimes to just write someone.. or something they said in a forum.. those are usually my cases when i look.. i dont know why everyone makes such an issue out of it ... i mean.. what are profiles even made for? i assume to look at! no matter what the reason is for one looking.... and to me.. i feel no one should assume what another is looking at them for...

I just got perv'd by a man 12 years my senior, literally (we share the same birthday, just not the same year) and me and him became fast friends.

My fiance 12 years ago was 33 and was 15 years my senior. (Yeah)


I prefer my men older than I.

The man I am hoping to be married to a year from now is 8 years older than me.

My EX husband was 1 year older than I and we didn't last long. (divorced within 2 years)
