I was just wondering what everyone else thinks about people that dont even look at your profile.

I mean you take your time looking at someones profile and sending a message and you get a message back saying, i like your profile too and then asking questions that are answered on your profile. Do people actually not know you can see whos veiwed your profile? Well i've deceided to file people like that under Scammers! and not answer..

what does everyone else think?

I totally agree with you. It is silly and a waste of their time and yours and I also think it could be seen as being rude to you. when i respond to someone I always look at their profile before i do and i think about whether it is realistic or not for them to meet me. I do reply to them and thank them for their interest and explain why I think it is not realistic.

It is worse on a chat line like Yahoo IM, as many times they as the same question every other day and it was in your profile in plan english, O I forgot the scammers do not understand english. You are right they do not really read your profile just looking for a mark.

If someone views your profile without signing in, you will not see that person on your WVM list.

Keep in mind that there is an option to disable WVM (Who's Viewed Me), and by doing so, you cannot detect if whether or not the person(s) in question have actually viewed your profile. There are some who disables WVM.

Also, some may ask you obvious questions that may already be answered in your profile. Consider that as perhaps a way to let them know if you are genuine, fake (blowing hot air for attention) or a scammer.

There may be a method to the madness! laugh

First, there seems to be a rash of these kinds of thread topics lately, and the last one I replied/commented in/on was deleted, so how long do you ("you" being rhetoric for the moment..) think THIS one will make it?laugh Given that little bit of whimsical cynicism, I'll soberly add here that I do not quite understand the spirit of your comments here. If someone goes to your profile and you then have an exchange and they repeatedly ask you questions that you have already covered in said profile, then why not just be blunt and ask THEM why they are being redundant? (No, I do not think it always means they are a 'scammer'. Some people are a little nervous, grasping for something to talk about, perhaps, it could be a number of things. I'm sure I've been guilty of asking a friend or two in CS a question that was already addressed in their profile. So sue me. Know what I mean? Surely there are worse things than someone just trying to make conversation. Folks aren't perfect, man, but it doesn't mean they deserve to be called a 'scammer'. Lighten up.

I am quite positive they do not find you unattractive. (Have a good day, sir).

Scubadiva: I look at peoples's profiles and don't write to them because I can see in the profile that there is something in there that nixes them as "potentials". Sometimes I'm just curious who is behind the picture. Nothing more. Doesn't mean I'm a scammer (but I will give u my acct info if u want to send money )
You just triggered an audit of this forum (we are not supposed to mention $$ even as a joke). Yes, I know you were just being goofy. Let's hope this doesn't get pulled.

Tulefel: It would be a real disaster if everyone who looked at your profile, wrote to you. You wouldn’t have time to anything else, but replying: “Thank you so much, it’s really flattering, it’s always so pleasant to be noticed, I’m touched so… it’d really great to meet you in the real life, but… distance, language barrier, cultural differences…”

Do you really want it?
True enough, but it seems there are a number of people who say they never respond to contacts, and that is what seems odd. Of course we have to be selective when there are tons of responses. That isn't the case with me, and so far it has not been a burden to politely acknowledge people who actually write. I even got a very nasty e-mail from a man who didn't like my way of talking to him on the forums. I answered. (People always find time for things they want to do. Know what I mean?) Sometimes it isn't just about what we "want". Courtesy is always in high style.

YouMeUs: Try a little politeness of your own, by sending a "thank you" flower to those who've viewed your profile.
It doesn't have to mean that you're interested, but by sending one may bridge the "connection" gap that may otherwise have gone unchecked.
Some may reply, others may not but at least it shows an effort on your part and someone out there just may take notice.

Rarely does window shopping create relationships, however, communication does and always has.
Right on. thumbs up thumbs up

Well… not that long time ago, there’s a thread in EU forums, and the initiator of the thread called it “manners”. But manners or courtesy… if there’s no picture (I’m just unable to communicate with an empty square; I tried a few times, and it always ended with grief); if there’s descending address as “Hi, cutie/sweetie”; if it’s “wanna chat” (IM is out of function on this site, or is it only I who doesn’t see the light?)… in short, if there’s nothing to answer to, I don’t answer. It may be impolite… well, then I’m impolite.

dunno
