So, like in real life when a woman gives you 'a look' subtle hint type thing (not the angry kind), is it the same online? An invitation to talk to her? Is there something there? I know, I know, me dumb guy. :goofball:

I wouldn't assume that just because somebody has viewed your profile, they are interested in you. I view people's profiles all the time for many different reasons. Sometimes they're thumbnail picture looks weird and you can't tell what it is, so you click it to see the larger version on their profile. All you have on a person before seeing their profile is their thumbnail and maybe a post on the forum of theirs, so you can't really say that somebody is "interested" interested when they decide to view your profile.

That's why I went into "stealth mode". I couldn't so much as look at a guy's profile without giving the idea that I was dropping hints, and therefore get a message assuming I was interested... when really I was just looking at their profile. One guy, I just wanted to see the dog in his thumbnail up closer. I still view lots of profiles: not because I'm interested in the person, but to see their profile, pictures, denomination, etc.

Awwww....twosparrows! You may have just burst someone's bubble. There are probably ladies out there that got all excited because they showed up on your favorites list only to find out that it was a mistake! :goofball:



To respond to others comments....who knows why people do the things they do. I've experienced just about all of the things mentioned above....I've had guys who have added me to their favorites list but never contacted me. I have others who have looked at my profile a number of times but never emailed me and when I emailed them they didn't answer. I've also received winks and when I responded with an email never heard back from them...which I find to be rather rude...but what do I know? I just consider it all part of trying to meet someone on-line.

I've been pretty often viewed by men that never leave a footprint. No message, no wink, no favourite. I was curious of the behaviour and decided to send few of them a message asking why they viewed me again and again but didn't even say drop a line. They responded as they don't log into this site a lot and forget that they have viewed me (some of them viewed me like once every 2-3 days and have been doing that more than 10 times based on the #number of views) so, am not really sure about the look in real world and in online is pretty much the same.



For me personally, aside of I do want to read the rest of the profile, just like others have said, I sometimes checked out people here in the forum's profile, or the profile pic just interested me in a way other like their pet/object/etc. Or I was just bored and have nothing to do so I browsed some profiles and it is pretty much interesting on what people put in their profile. Some profile does give me a good laugh tho :goofball:

I guess it's realistic to think of "looks" online the same way as "looks" in the real world. Sometimes you are just in Taco Bell without your boyfriend, and your eyes are wandering and you accidentally make eye-contact with somebody who happens to be a dude, and his face brightens up and you think, "Oh no, here it goes..." Sometimes you double-take because something about a person piques your curiosity, so you look again to read their shirt or admire their cute little dog. In real life, I know I look at women more than once who are dressed like floozies, and sometimes I do that online because my mind and eyes are thinking, "What is she thinking?". I'll sometimes go to my own profile to find my latest forum post, and other women's profiles pop up at the top of the screen, and if a picture is outrageous enough sometimes I will click it to see what she has to say for herself.

People that look habitually can be like the guy in the long check-out line at the drugstore who is literally checking you out the entire duration of the line, basically staring you in the face but not saying anything. He's interested, but isn't exactly sure how to go about it or maybe thinks he doesn't have a shot. Or like a person you pass on your way to work once or twice a week: they forget if they thought you were fine or not, so they have to double-check to be sure.

I guess I could have stopped at the first sentence, huh?

I'd say that a look is just a look and not an expression of interest. Neither is a wink. My understanding is that if she wants you to contact her, she'll add you to her favorites list.

Now you know what men go through.

Online,if just looking,she is just trying to see who is online.

If she sends a wink or replies,that means she might be telling you something,like you could be somebody she could be friends with.
