Not sure what you mean by block profile views, do you mean when people view in stealth mode? If so then I think the majority of women and quite a lot of couples do.
As for whether it’s a bad thing, I think it’s just a tool and not really bad or good or anything. |

If you're talking about 'stealth mode' then yes I use it, purely to try and stop unwanted messages, just because I view a profile doesn't mean I want to engage with them (I'm just nosey half the time) some take it that I do and it saves an awkward conversation when they message |

Yes that's exactly what I ment I just didn't know how to phrase it.
I think its a good way of seeing someone who's looking but not interested myself. |

Only if some one is acting like a dick. But not a certain type. Everyone’s welcome to chat. But I guess some people do if they don’t want to be viewed by certain groups of people. |

I don't search blokes anyway used to be a bit curious if I knew anyone from my hometown but its irrelevant.
It doesn't show up each time you visit a profile though... does it? If it was 5 times a day etc? |

"I like being nosy with no intent on meeting anyone. But a lot of people take a look as a sign of interest and start messaging. Stealth always. "
Didn't realise it was a big problem but do totally get it. |

Yup, every time. Also, if you switch stealth mode on to look, then switch it off again after, you’ll show up as if you’d never switched it on. |

It’s on “Account” then “privacy settings”, and it’s the first one on the page.
I’m sure we’ve all looked like doughnuts (or stalkers) before figuring it out!
I keep mine on permanently now, avoids all the “saw you looking” messages. |

Always use stealth, as during the week I finish work at 2am, so often check out the forums and site in general. It’s bad enough how many randy guys message me at that time for a meet. So it would be a lot worse if they knew I’d looked at their profiles as well.
Also these are the guys who’s profiles state they’re straight and will ‘fill in later’ their profile text  |

Always stealth - otherwise it invites 'I saw you look at me ' messages when all you were doing was trying to have a closer look at their avatar that you couldn't quite work out.
Which you should never do - as you often need eye bleach after 
It's on par with Googling things you read on the forum - never do it  |

I love it, some make me belly laugh some make me horny and some make me cringe.
Mixed emotions
As a bloke I don't get the I saw you looking thing.
Eating up time and making friends what its all about. |
