Well bless my soul, you come on an International site post a forum, and then complain when someone looks at it. I simply don't understand this. Your solution is to leave connecting singles altogether, not whine when someone shows interest. Make your profile more explicit as to what you are looking for, but don't whine when people view what you have put into the public domain.

You know anyone who isn`t logged in can watch your profile and it won`t be shown on your who`s viewed me list ,so basically anyone can "spy" on your profile... There is an option to turn off your who`s seen my profile ,option and so you will have less things to de-concentate you ... PS: no need to thank me...

Hi thanks for the reply. But that is not the point. There is a difference if one views once or twice or permanently. And ALWAYS shows up on top..it feels weird Of course I want viewers and am totally aware of it.

I understand you, dolphin. And I think it is something that is missing here - to block a specific person from visting your profile. If he/she wants to see it incognito, it wouldn't bother you. Maybe the moderators would pay attention to this thread, or you can write in the 'site suggestions' part of the forum asking them to add this option, too.

yes - I have also had this conversation before. It would be very helpful if we could limit not only who mails us, but who can view our profile. It would make for better profiles. We could write more and personalize them somewhat more. I am seriously thinking of deleting all photos but a head shot and cutting out about half of what I've written on the dating sites I'm on just because of this issue.
dolphin64: Hi it s good to read, I m not the only one feeling this way. And at the moment we can t do anything about it. Thanks for sharing
Well, there is another option that will stop the constant profile perve, and that is to hide your profile. But you know the consequenses of doing that--no one will be able to view your profile while it's hidden, and you must wait out 24 hours before unhiding it. I've noticed that some people hide their profile before logging off...try that if it works for you.
You could also send a "thank you for viewing my profile" flower to that person, if only to let them know that you know they're viewing you. You could get a reply and then find out why they like to view you so often. Once you feel he's becoming a threat, report him to the CS admins.
And as Jac said, most of them are harmless. That person may be too shy to open communications with you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained?

Dolphin said earlier she's blocked his area, so he can't get in touch with her.
My guess is he's making himself obvious the only way he can in the hope she gets in contact with him.
If he's not getting the message now, if Dolphin opens up the lines of communication, I don't doubt for one minute that he will continue to make a nuisance of himself.

Dear Dolphin, Well I also peeked at your profile ( mostly to see if this will agree with you ) . You are a very atractive woman and you probably recieve more than yor share of male attention . To most women this would be a blessing not a curse . Unfortunatly not all of the attention is politely formulated . It is like being whistled at or getting cat calls from males on the street . It might seem rude or degrading ( well yes it is ), but just remember that they don't do this to the unatractive ones . If someone is viewing your profile the only thing you can do is detete him from the viewed list when he apears . I know it might be a pain to repeat this but as long as this is all he is doing it should be safe for you . The only thing else I can add is welcome to the world of online dating sites . We have to take the good with the bad sometimes, however I still feel that there are more good people on here than bad . Just give them a chance to prove themselvs . I hope this at least makes you feel better .
HI just a peek is not the issue. I m here to find a wonderful man. But to have someone always on top of ur WVM list is scary. He stopped now by the way. I just wanted to know if there is a way to prevent this happening again. Thanks

May be don't check who has looked at you? I practically never check and don't have headaches!

Wouldn't that be considered as stalking then? Let the admin's take care of it if he is.

Maybe he read your thread here and it did the trick?
I don't think there's too many options to stop someone from repetitivly viewing a profile, if that's all they're doing.
......don't let it bother you; he is probably deciding whether or not to contact you.......why not just send him a short note to say hi....?.......perhaps he is shy........if you do not car to do this- then assume he is just an admirer of your beauty.......and enjoy the attention.....most sites do not list when a person viewed you......i, myself, think that is best......
so how do you know if ypu are blocked. Met a great guy yesterday. He emailed me and I sent one back. This morning I can't find anything. Not on my viewed list. Sigh! Such a nice guy to
