I redid my profile on match about a week ago, put a little humor in and what not. Well I get a email from this guy thats quite a bit older, and he has as the headline it was good why did you change it , then he sends me my old profile, nothing else, just that. He must of had it saved on his computer otherwise how would he of had it. Kind of strange.

I agreed!!

Many strange things happen there. When I first put my profile (1/06) with Match, there're a man in CA, he sent me 4,5 emails a day. Every time I made a minor change to my profile/photos, he immediately sent an email stating he saw the change. He's so creepy. I blocked him.

Found out, he's trying to meet as many women as he can for 2 days trip to our area before heading back to CA. (as he's shopping for used car). The sad thing was he's only separated from his wife of 22 years for 4 months.

I blocked him and now has anybody had this happen. On another site americansingles which I am not a paying member (too expensive and not that great) anyways you can see who has emailed/viewed you and I had a bisexual woman from Florida (I live in MI) email me, hot list me , guess I am on a roll here. lol

I also had several people just "viewing" my profile almost on a daily basis for months on end--they never contacted me, or if we had some short email exchange, finally failed to respond themselves, and then... They don't go away. I don't understand this behavior. My profile is not even changing. What's the point of staring at it every day? I don't find that they are particularly creepy, but I just don't understand the logic here.

Your post cracked me and my H or stbx (not sure what to call him) so much! We are on the way to divorcing, but very amicable, as you can tell. He browses the Match profiles to get his mind off our situation, and as a light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel kind of thing. Dating is something he can't do right now coz we're still living together and something he can look forward to. There are women on Match that he's very interested in, and he does the exact same thing you described, ha ha! He looks up their profiles almost daily just to see if they've been on recently, etc. He would like to know: if he doesn't have a profile up on Match, and obviously not a paying member, can the ladies know that he's viewing them? He has gotten 2 emails from Match saying that someone wants to meet you, which we are figuring as the ladies he's viewed? They probably got tired of this person viewing them and wanna know what's up? Or is it a Match marketing tactic?

Thanks for the thread. Made me laugh!
