Guys why is it you often look but do not send a mess?

Guys why do you spend the time look at a women's pic. and reading her profile to not then send a note?? If you are just seeing whom sent you a wink or viewed you, don't you think it is polite to say hello? I don't get why many guys can't strike up a conversation with a lady as a Christian friend and then see if it would go anywhere from there? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like most men want it all or nothing.....only want to talk if it will lead to date, etc...?

So if some girl from all the way around the world looks at my profile once, I'm obligated to try to become friends with her? No guy here has that kind of time.

Hello Christinia, look at the 'looking for' part of their profile. Most people on here are not looking for friends, they already have friends, they are looking for a mate. So if they spent time writing every single person for no logical reason, they have defeated the purpose of this site's namesake.

Some guys are just lookers or they have really bad memory or attention spans. You probably get a lot more from the ones that have their 'Allow Other Members To See I Viewed Their Profile" option turned off. Kinda funny to think about... Haha

This reminds me of an amusing situation I had last week. I'm on another dating site, and several months ago (last December, I think it was) I talked to a guy via IM. He seemed like a nice guy, but there was one major thing we disagreed on...we didn't argue about it, but neither did we keep in touch after that.

I had forgotten that conversation, though, and viewed his profile again last week. I quickly remembered our conversation, and of course I didn't send him a message. He IMed me a few minutes later just to chat, and asked if I'd changed my mind/opinion on our point of disagreement! I hadn't, but we still had a great conversation. He found it highly amusing that I didn't remember our conversation and disagreement until after I'd viewed the profile!

I have to agree with brandon on this one. In my case, I forget a lot of times if I have viewed a profile before.



Guys might not send a message if they aren't sure what to write about. Maybe the profile didn't provide conversational material. Or, they may read the profile and just not be interested. Maybe they are looking for something very specific and a woman's profile didn't match that specific requirement.



Not sure about this, just throwing out ideas.

You can sort of compare it to shopping. For many women, it is the process of shopping that is enjoyable, and not necessarily the the actual purchase. Guys, on the other hand, when they go to the store they usually already have in mind what they want, so they just go get it and buy it.



For me, I have a fairly good idea what I am looking for. But, the only way to see your profile is to open it up and read it, which flags you and lets you know. That is why I turned off the ability for people to see that I have checked their profile. That way they wont know that I have passed them by.

Tulip - think I stated in my post that I did specifically turn off the setting.



My point of view is that if I don't know you passed me by, then it will never bother me.
