match.com question
| Mon, 08-08-2005 - 12:22am |
Does anyone have any thoughts about the "Who's viewed me" feature on match.com? It shows the profiles of men who have viewed your profile and the theory match is trying to sell is...Hey! these people are interested in you, send them an e-mail! I know it's a marketing tactic to lure in the non-subscribers, but has anyone tried this to see if it works? I look at it as a bunch of guys who looked at my profile and decided to take a pass or they're non-subscribers.
Also do the profiles show up in the order they viewed you? in other words is the guy on the top of the list the last person who viewed you? and if a person who's moved down the line to say page 2 or 3 moves to the top of page one, does that mean he's viewed your profile again?
Just curious as I just started taking the intiative and sending out e-mails. So far I sent 5 that were from that page and got 2 replies that didn't progess anywhere.
Any thoughts or experience with this?
Thanks Chele

There was some extensive discussion on this feature about a month or two ago when it was first introduced. A lot of the people on here really seem to dislike it for several reasons. Some people see it as an invasion of privacy. I personally always liked it, but I'm not sure Match's reasoning is sound. They claim, hey these people looked at your profile so there's already some interest. Another way to look at it would be, they looked at your profile, but they didn't contact you ... chances are they're NOT interested.
My guess is that the people closest to the top have seen your profile most recently.
yes my take is if they looked at your profile and didn't wink or email they are NOT interested..
so who cares... it's cool to see if a guy you are interested in keeps eyeing you tho, but other than that i don't really think it has much of a purpose
I think that the "who's viewed you" on match is kinda weird, but what I have noticed is that when guys view me first, then if I am interested in checking them out I do so, but I don't wink or anything. Then I'll get a wink from them when they see that I have viewed them also (if they are interested in me of course). So that's how I use that feature.
But if a guy has viewed me and not winked at me, I don't wink at him first just because he has viewed me. BUt if he is a little shy and sees that I have viewed him after he has viewed me, then sometimes he takes the initiative and does a wink or an email.
And yes, when they reappear back at the front of the first page when they were on page 2 or 3, I do believe that they have viewed you again.
Good luck to you...
