Oh dear so many people read your profile? Do you like that?

well funny i just answered one similar to this. my feelings are as i said on there. its no problem with me. i dont know how knowing what i look like, what state i live in, etc. is going to hurt me or anything. im sure that without my actual address, etc. they wont find me and what would they want to for? anyway, i also have nothing to hide so its all good. its nice to know who you are talking with anyway.

that is the whole point of having a profile. so why would i mind if people went and checked me out. people get upset over the silliest things sometimes. I'm with you, i have nothing to hide so go and look.

I think people look at profiles for different reasons. I will look to see where I might possibly know a person from, if I get a friends request and don't recognize the name.Like you said, you look to see if they are male or female. I also look at the sites they have bookmarked as favorites, why should I befriend a person who likes rock, when I like roll, it is wasting their time and mine, cause I won't chat about the things they like, and vice versa. So I agree with you Hatley, I look too. Blessings Marilyn

Patsy - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! I was hoping for the chance to give you greeting! As for people looking at our profiles, that's why we HAVE profiles. It's for us to put what we want others to see. If we put things we don't want anyone to see there, then it's on us, no one else. If we want complete privacy, then don't put a darned thing there. It's as simple as that. No one should be getting upset that others are looking at our profiles. That's what they're there for. DUH!

I think I'd be more upset if no one ever looked at my profile. I love looking at profiles, to see where people are from, perhaps see a few pictures of things that are important to them. Isn't that the point of a social site?

I don't mind if people read my profile on myLot. I will often look at other people's profiles to find interesting discussions they've posted, or to see what country they are from, or what age they are - or sometimes to even get a closer look at their profile picture! And like I said, I don't mind of people check out mine . . . I basically like to stay anonymous and there's nothing really there in my profile that gives me "away". I hope people will come to check out the discussions I've started or commented on . . . isn't that what it's there for? It's not like Facebook where the profiles have a bit more personal information on it. I don't mind people checking it out because I know everyone there personally, but if I find out someone is checking it out way too much - it can feel sort of creepy. But back to myLot - certainly I wouldn't get angry about someone checking out my profile too many times . . . I think it's a source for people to find other discussions . . . afterall, if you are my friend, then we probably have similar tastes - so why not jump into their discussions?

I don't let it bother me. I really don't pay any attention.

I go to look at profiles if I'm thinking of adding them as a friend. Sometimes to remind myself where they live (if they have it posted.) Sometimes just to see what kind of discussions or interests they have if they have requested to be my friend. I don't care if someone looks at my profile - granted, you wouldn't know if I were male or female, because it doesn't say, and my name is more male than female, tho I am a fat 50 something fe-type-male...

I wouldn't put anything on my profile that I wasn't willing to share. I look at other people's profile. It's just part of being part of an online community. How else do we know if we're interested in being friends? When I get a friends request I look at the would-be friend's profile to see if we have any common interests and to see what discussions he/she has posted.

I feel as you do. I am not worried online . I use an alias and do things in such a way that no one knows the real personal stuff unless I want them to. It is like having DID or something. My take is that people need to make themselves safe and be smart online. You just never know.

Hi Hatley, I have no time to go looking at profiles and I haven't looked at mine for a long time, but I don't mind either as there is not much to hide and profiles that we put is open to anyone. Tamara

My profile is there for every one to look at it...actually I don't even know [or remember what it says]should check on it soon...profiles are important... if I get an invite to be friends I check the persons profile before accepting their invite...if we have something in common then I will accept their friendship...otherwise I just let it be.

I do look at some profiles - especially if they have just requested me to be a friend. I am not able to get he time to post much lately. Just too much work - as you may know I work two jobs and both are hectic. I do not bother if people want to look at my profile page. I do not know how many have as it is probably quite boring as i do not update it or anything. I do hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day with our son.Many blessings

Could we see who views us here at mylot? I wasn't aware of that. Anyway, I could see no problem with that unless the one who views you is your enemy whom you are spreading gossips about and worse, lies.

HI Hatley! Actually it is the opposite in my case.I had not even noticed thsi earlier.But recently or so I noticed that there were some 4 profile views or so on one day.I was actually pleased with this because I thought someone had found my response or discussion interesting enough to have a peek at my profile.Moreover, there is nothing in my profile that cannot be viewed. Mine is a very bare outline.

Hi Hatley! You are a veteran here and I think many new users love to see your profile to enhance their knowledge how an older member's profile appear and how she works on discussions and start discussions. I wish that more and more members could see my profile.

Hi Hatley, It doesn't worry me either when others look at my profile. though admittedly I hardly look at mine anyway, if others want to look and either see anything about me or leave a graphic etc then I hope they can feel free to do so. Like you I have nothing to hide either...hugs LoLo

I don't mind if people read my profile, otherwise I wouldn't have customised it and put things on there (not to mention that I wouldn't have any kind of net-presence in the first place!) I'm a bit confused about your friend's opinion, because that's what profiles are for; to learn about the person you're replying to or befriending, and getting to know them a bit better. If somebody doesn't want people looking at their profile then maybe they shouldn't be on a public site like this, and I assume that your friend is not a member here. I'm sure that if you were bothered about it then you wouldn't be writing here either!

i am not also bothered about the viewers of my profile. actually, i don't view it too myself. i guess, i also have nothing to hide so why bother. and i think it is better for us to be viewed more times. it's just like we are popular as actors and actresses.

I don’t mind at all how many people look at my profile. There is nothing secret on it because if I had secrets I wouldn’t place them on a public profile on the Internet! I was und the impression that the idea of a profile is so people can look at it. I think the more people take a peek the more likely that they might find me interesting so go for it I think!
