CS listens to your feedback…. Who's Viewed Me Feature

About a year ago we added a feature called Who’s Viewed Me. We thought it would be fun for you to know who has shown enough interest to read your profile and/or view your photo… even though they may not have taken the step to send a flower or message. It’s like going to a party and making eye contact from across the room, but not going over to talk to them yet. It’s also a kind of feedback… a tool to help you know if your profile is attracting attention. It was our goal to ‘mix things up a little’ and get things going between members that might not otherwise find each other.

For months we’ve received notes from members telling us they don’t like Who’s Viewed Me. In our never-ending-effort to make improvements to your online dating experience here, we removed the feature. Also, in terms of site performance, this is a ‘power robbing extra’ and why waste resources for something members don’t even like?

Now, however…. We are being flooded with requests to bring that feature back..

Ok.. Alright already… Which is it?? Yay or Nay??

--------------------------THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THIS THREAD----------------------:
We have brought this feature back to the site...

I Quite enjoy seeing who has been looking at my profile,most other dating sites have it.
You can get an idea of who is interested this way.
This is only my opinion! Thanks

I like it to but in reality it doesn't really mean anything.

Sometimes it can mislead you when people are just casually browsing.

But it can't hurt.

god girl leave it there, it gives you an option that if someone viewed you whether or not they said anything, its a starter, you can start a conversation with them, with out saying I seen you look at me, it's a head start to knowing, he found me attractive, I may not be exactly what he was looking for, but at least I know hes aproachable to talk to, and if nothing else you can become friends and help each other get through the whole forum experience,"by the way I went through that all on my own,) you can just take it that they obviously seen something and looked, so whether its weight, height, or job that put them off from contact, at least when you reply, they might want to know moire.

keep it, i think the the people who dont like it are just wanting t be sneaky, I personally feel safer opening up and putting my personal stuff out there If I can see whose been looking at it, and also there are some painfuly shy people out there and they might need a alittle prompting and this feature helps them, as it leaves it up to the other person to respond wihout the wole having to approach directly thing.

i say yay

i am shy and it is nice too see who has viewed you and that way if you missed there profile then you can contact them right away honeslty i don't care what people think of me i am a great person and that is all that matters
and by judging someone you might just miss out on your soulmate never judge a book by it's cover....
