Just a little FYI to all you fellow Match users. When I logged into that old site this morning, it appears that Match has added on another subscriber perk !
You can now see who has viewed your profile, which includes both non-subscribers and paid subscribers. On the the plus side, this service lets you know who is out there checking you out... :) even if they haven't winked or emailed you . LM

I really don't get this *feature*! I think it invites unwanted contact, just because I've checked out a profile. If I wanted to contact a guy I would.

I'll have to be careful about browsing.

actually I just logged in and my subscription has expired so when I clicked on who's viewed me it says I have to subscribe! So it's not for non-payers. It figures they add that feature after I'm out of there!

Oh, great, yet another way to feel rejected.

I swear, these sites are designed by sadists.

Yes, that thought had crossed my mind as well. So on the flipside, one would have to be very careful as to whose profile they query, otherwise you'll end up in their "Who has viewed you" database.

I guess for me, it probably won't be too much an issue though, given that I'm the type of person who can scroll through 34 some screen pages and find myself not having clicked on a single pic/profile. My Mom was right about me, I'm way too picky for my own good...LOL

I think it's a cool feature and I don't ever think it means that someone wants to contact you -- all it means is they want to look at either your text or a bigger picture. Damn, even half the time an email doesn't even mean they want to contact you...

Why is it cool? What's cool about it? Seriously, I don't understand why this is at all cool or helpful to know whether someone's viewed you. If they don't write to you, what's the point?

I can only think of one positive thing about that service, at this point. At least it lets you know if there are people out there who are 'stalking' you n' your profile. Other than that I really can't think of anything else... L :

And that is helpful...how? Wouldn't it just serve to make you paranoid about something you can't do anything about, anyway? I mean, can you report someone for looking at your profile too much ;-)?

Yeah, my point exactly...don't need those kinds of "ego boosts" ;-)!

I hope they do bring back the personality matches...I found some good matches that way. But if they do bring it back, I hope they've saved the results for those of us who took the tests already...I'm not inclined to go through that again.
