I'm a little confused why mm profiles and tv/ts show on my looked at me list yet I have them filtered out. It never shows men so why is this the case?
Any help would be very useful  |

"Its just a glitch with the site so im led to believe"
How strange, it doesn't really matter but perhaps it may as well show the men too in that case. |

It is very confusing especially when a person has set up preference.it should exclude others whom don't match seeing your profile regardless whatever their preferences maybe.but I think because they have their preferences which you fit under would be why which which shouldn't be the case not much thought has went into settings in my opinion. |

In may be accidental or a lot of thought has gone into it. If preference prevented groups of members looking at profiles, then others would seek to get around the filters by setting up fake accounts. There is enough of an issue now with fake accounts, I wouldn’t wish to see anything that encourages more. If someone doesn’t want certain groups from viewing their profile and presumably photos, it’s best to categorise them as friends only. |

Yes they could make a account to go around the preferences but filters are there and should also prevent.i wouldn't mind if their was a little cost to sign up this could prevent the dodgy folk in some way because I'm sure wouldn't keep throwing money away |

There is confusion on this thread . Anybody can look at any profile provided they are not blocked. If the OP is referring to the " who has looked at me " page then this will exclude a reference to anyone who has selected the privacy option . Possibly it also excludes others from being listed ( but not actually looking at the profile) depending on filters. |

"Not a glitch but the way the site is set up.
The only gender that doesn't show on your who looked list if you have set your message filters are single men, all the rest will still show."
Wow!! no wonder men feel like they get a raw deal on here then, hardly fair to filter them and not all other unsuitable genders. Very odd but then I'm not really surprised  |

Yes I mean the who looked at me page, having an option to block people from looking at your profile at all would be a little counter productive to how fab works unfortunately. |

Hi I assume you've set your filters so that they don't message you? If so, they can still look at your profile though. It's not showing men most likely because your profile says you're not looking for them. Hope that helps x |

Men don't show on your "who looked at me" page and the site puts a message on your profile saying "Not looking for single men" when you block them on your account settings.
This is to stop you seeing thousands of men on your who looked at me page.
I'm not sure why the site only chose to do it for single men.

"You can only stop someone viewing your profile if you block them, otherwise it makes the search/browse functionality useless.  "
What's she's saying is why do couples and women still show on her who looked at me page when they are blocked.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about who shows in the looked at me page. The only people who can message me are mf couples, ff couples and females.
I know I can't stop people looking at me but I just wanted to know why everyone but single males show up?
Just feel its odd that 2 of my filtered out genders show but single men don't. |

"I get similar thing my age group is 50 to 70 but people looking at me are way too young or miles away why do we put preferences if not adhered to"
Totally as it doesn't make sense as the choice of the person preference would only fit around their criteria visible only to those who have similar would be straight forward common sense... |

Only single males can be filtered out of your looked at me, if they are filtered from messaging you as far as I know... Everyone else, whether they can message or not, will show there, if they look, I think. |

It's only a message filter... If you have set it... If not, it's just a preference |
