I saw something funny happen a few times with me when I was doing the "on again/off again" membership on POF. I'd delete my profile, come back later a few months later through the years.

 

EVERY time I had done this, I'd catch the very same user in my area "viewing" my profile pretty much the same day...then see that profile disappear from my "People who viewed you" gallery.

 

I had emailed this woman using this as an initial ice breaker, but she told me that she was going through some kind of pre-emptive "block" procedure where she blocks people that have never even emailed her so she could filter out those when she runs her own search.

 

Apparently this is do-able if you're willing to put for the energy for it, but in a sense it's kind of cold as well. Because, usually people can block only those that have already sent them a message.

i agree that is kinda cold and harsh way of trimming down the options.

It's probably because she blocked you with your first profile and you keep remaking them.

Back in the day when I did OLD'ng, match didn't give you the tools to know if you had contacted someone so I used to remove them from my search (not block) so I never contacted them a second time.

It sounds like her version of making sure guys don't contact her a second time..

 

The other thing to think about is from the flip side, a person sees you constantly go on and off the OLD site and make new profiles over a period of months and most likely you use the same pics then you can bet they are forming their own opinion of you just like you did with them :)

 

OLD is only a method of meeting someone, if someone doesn't want to meet you then it is their loss.. next....

Yeah, her profile was rather cold, calculating, and appeared to be condescending. She was single, never married, no kids, mid-30's, and WANTS children. RUN Forrest! lol
