Why do they keep looking?

Why do they keep looking?


I've noticed something that puzzles me. People, particularly Gold & Silver Members, who keep looking at my profile ... and that is it, just looking. I get that since I added pictures people who viewed me in the past would look to
1) see if seeing me, or parts of me, physically would make them want to meet me where my words didn't. Reasonable, logical, I get that just fine.
2) they would not realize it was a profile they had viewed since it didn't have pictures before. That makes sense too, very logical. Do you remember everyone's name/ID, particularly since some are so much like someone elses? I know I don't.

OK those make sense. Looking a second time in general can be explained by forgetfulness. But at some point I have to ask why is someone looking at me the 3rd or 4th, or even 5th time. I feel honored they were that attracted but come on. If I see that I will send a note so a Standard Member can reply (if I notice it and since I'm writing in several cases I obviously did).

I've even taken to writing the first note to someone who looked like they might be interesting and lived reasonably close, even Gold Members, who has viewed me several times in a 3-4 day period in case they are just shy.

What happens? Nothing. They don't reply. Not even just the quick reply from the drop down boxes at the top of a received email that say "fuck yourself, I'm not interested" in several different ways that sound much nicer. Which I guess is at least somewhat more honest because why would you view a profile 4 times if you weren't interested at some level.

I don't understand. This is a sexual dating site. I thought people were here to start a relationship, find a one night stand, or something in between. That is going to take a conversation. Perhaps not a long one, nor a deep one, depending on what the goal is, but some kind of discussion. "Your place or mine?" and the response is a brief conversation.

I thought men who had sex with men were eager to get it on. In the time I've been on here as 1sttimewithguy looking for men I have also been on here under a different ID looking for women (women don't date bi guys). During that time I've met two women and no men! And women are supposed to be more picky!

Does anyone have reasoning for this behavior?

you know i wonder the same thing. i get the same 5 ppl that look at my profile about 3 to 4 times a week. and i have written them thinking i will break the ice and i have never gotten a response. i have even seen them on IMC and tried to chat them up and nothing i get no response, so now i just ignore them, but i to wonder what is going through there mind

I am fairly sure that on another site I am on, that activity is simply done to keep you interested and make sure you update to highest paid level. Once you do, the interest magically vanishes.

Part of the problem is when someone runs their cursor over your photo it shows your some of your profile not all of it. So it may be they're just looking.

Last week alone I had 6 guys email wanting to hook up to which I agreed to meet each one of them. Since then none of them have contacted me.

This is part of the lifestyle. It's the nature of the lifestyle. Quantity is always better than quantity. It's like fishing, keep a line in the water and eventually you'll catch a fish. So keep trying but don't try too hard.
