When you see that someone has viewed your profile, do you have an overwhelming desire to see who they are? Do you go immediately to see who they are and what they are like? To figure out why they looked at you, or whether they might even be a “person of interest”?

Do you at least immediately assume now it’s now "okay" to look at theirs? Do you feel even partly “obligated” to reciprocally look at theirs? To send a note of some sort?

Or to preserve your cool, do you at all costs resist the urge to look at theirs? And instead try to satisfy your curiosity based on the truncated half sentence that comes up when you roll over their name?

What if it’s obvious by those few words you read that it must have been something you wrote in a post, and nothing else? Does that make it easier to look ...or harder?

If you see by those few words that they are clearly not of your orientation do you feel rude, nosey or uncomfortable about reading their whole profile?

Does merely posing these questions mark me as a closet humiliation slut just begging for public abuse?

(by the way, these questions were not provoked by anyone who may have looked at my profile within the last week. I've wondered about it for a while. And I will not look or even peek at your profile under any circumstances. Well, not at least for a week, until a sufficient period of time has gone by )

it is always interesting to see who viewed you, but since people view for all sorts of reasons, you cannot possibly take it all that seriously. it is far more important if someone actually initiates contact.

I consider there to be no protocol in the viewing of pics. Sometimes I will tease people from the message board who have perved me. And I sometimes return the favor to them. As far as people I don't know, meh, if they have have a nice body, I will definitely take a peek at them. Other than that it holds no interest for me.

lol. Walter, you've definitely done some thinking about pervin'!

When I see someone has viewed me, I usually peek back. Most times it's someone who's probably read my posts here in the fora because they're nowhere near me geographically. I am collared, so it's my incurable sense of curiousity that leads me to perv back, not that I'm seeking. But I gotta look. lol

I usually Peek at those that have peeked at my profile or at those that have posted something that has interested me ...I dont even think about if it makes me look cool or not ... Im indifferent to that .... Once in a great while I will peek at profiles just because Im bored and cant sleep.

The only ones that I am sure to peek at are those that have sent me email.

When I notice people on my "Who's viewing me" list, I'm always curious. At times, I "perve" them back, just because. I'm a bit apprehensive about it because I don't require and explanation when they perve me and I think if we both end up perving each other, some may feel obligated to send a message (but it's really not necessary). I mostly look at profiles when I notice something of interest written by someone in the forums.

Anyone can take a lookie loo. Trust me, there are a lot of people I'd love to perve (if only to check out their profiles or journals), but, I'm a shy lil subbie.

BTW, I'm totally gonna perve you....

I look when I want to look and I don't feel intimidated to-I look at posters more than who's viewed Me, what squeaks Me out is someone who views Me at the same time everyday---creep factor on alert!

More like it creeps Me out when someone who is way off the spectrum writes and there hasn't been a view or views and still writes looking for more than a friendly chat--recently a had a lesbian couple order Me to reply?? Scuse Me???

I don't know that I have any reservations about looking at someones profile....I mean its not exactly private(the profile)... Not long ago I noticed a certain individual thats a regular poster had viewed our couples profile....So I dropped them a line(collarme-mail) and said that my Master and I really enjoyed reading their posts, and admired their points of view....Well they DID read the "c-mail" but they never replied, so I don't really do that anymore...I guess its considered rude or something to acknowledge someone has looked at your profile, I can't imagine why else they wouldn't have responded.....

Walter! Lay off the caffeine! You're seriously overthinking this!

Do I assume its okay to look at their profile?? When was it ever NOT okay? If they are from a foreign country and I don't recognize their name from the forums, I just delete them off my viewing list. Otherwise, I usually look back, kind of a poke at them, like saying "ha ha caught you looking".

I rarely if ever send them a message merely from the fact that they looked, unless it is someone I correspond with occasionally and realize I haven't heard from them in a while (hint hint hint - you know who you are!).

I always assume I get looked at becasue of the pictures. I never bother with perving someone's profile just because they looked at me. I *might* look at theirs if they viewed me and emailed me. Maybe.

quote:

I assume it is always OK to look at anyones profile I please. If it werent, they wouldnt have their profiles up. I dont see a reason to wait for the thumbs up to browse. I only send a note to those who add me to their favorites list without as much as a hello. And I wont accept friends requests without a conversation first.

I just dont tend to be all that curious, really.

quote:

I always figure its someone whos taking a look after a post, or someone who wants to get a better look at pictures.

Nope

I know I'm new and all, but I thought that it didn't matter if you looked. Lots of people have looked at mine. They didn't tell me why and it didn't bother me... I've looked back- just 'cus. I've looked at a bunch of people who i thought had really interesting posts just to see what else they had to say.

I thought those profiles were for just that... the looking. Am I wrong?

I generally view people that have viewed me. Most of the time I would have however already viewed the person before they have viewed me so there is little reason to revisit their profile. Depends what mood I am in also though because sometimes I'll just scan over them with the mouse to get an idea of who they are and where they are from, this rules them out of my further interest in most cases.

Hi

i never feel wrong from having looking at someone's profile, it is up there for public display and i find it natural to try to find out a little bit about the people one is talking whit, i do not see what the big problem about that is. i very often look at the profile of those i meet on the forum, to learn who i am dealing whit. It do not matter if i find the person interesting or not, it is merely to learn a little of who they are. Why would one feel shame over that?

i wish you well

Holy God man, why is there a need for perving protocol.
Someone puts it out on the net, I have a right to look, no protocol needed at all.
Whats with the modern fascination to applying rules to everything, sheeesh, if someone doesnt want to be perved they should put up a blank profile.

When you see that someone has viewed your profile, do you have an overwhelming desire to see who they are? Do you go immediately to see who they are and what they are like? To figure out why they looked at you, or whether they might even be a “person of interest”?

If someone looks at me, I look back, who knows they may interest me in some way. If they do I send them a quick introductory email, something like "Hi, saw you in my neighborhood so I thought I would stop by and introduce myself."
There is no figuring going on or an overwhelming desire, I am just the sort of guy who flipped over rocks as a kid to see what was underneath.

Do you at least immediately assume now it’s now "okay" to look at theirs? Do you feel even partly “obligated” to reciprocally look at theirs? To send a note of some sort?

Why wouldn't it be OK? Duh. I don't feel obligated to do aything, nor respond.Especially if I was a pretty girl, you have no clue how many times a young girl with a pic gets perved here.

Or to preserve your cool, do you at all costs resist the urge to look at theirs? And instead try to satisfy your curiosity based on the truncated half sentence that comes up when you roll over their name?

Huh? To preserve my cool? Thats deranged.Am I a practicing psychic now?.

What if it’s obvious by those few words you read that it must have been something you wrote in a post, and nothing else? Does that make it easier to look ...or harder?

If you see by those few words that they are clearly not of your orientation do you feel rude, nosey or uncomfortable about reading their whole profile?

Nope, its a free country, I read what I want to. I would never feel rude or uncomfortable whether its a mistess, a lesbian or a submissive male.Why would I feel that way?

Does merely posing these questions mark me as a closet humiliation slut just begging for public abuse?

(by the way, these questions were not provoked by anyone who may have looked at my profile within the last week. I've wondered about it for a while. And I will not look or even peek at your profile under any circumstances. Well, not at least for a week, until a sufficient period of time has gone by )
Wow, way to much thinking going on here. I look, I am not a closet humiliation slut.Its my perogative.
My question here is why does anyone give a damn what anyone else may think?Or am I that twisted that just looking makes me all freaky inside? I am not but if others are, shrugs, OK thats on them.

And Walter, you can look at my profile and I won't be offended.
