Does it bother anyone else that anyone can see when you were last active on-site. I dont understand why its a fab feature and would prefer to have an option to turn it off for better privacy. |

I can see both sides to be honest OP it *is* handy to see when friends etc are on-line or if you notice one hasn't been on-line for a while but have other means of contacting them to be able to check in that they're ok.
The downside (especially for ladies) is it probably increases the message flow of "you're on-line therefore must be up for it" messages.
A good compromise would be to give users the option whether to show it or not. |

This, we can choose whether we want to be seen on the ‘who looked at you’ page, seems logical to be able to turn off the last online thing as well |

It's useful if I want to check when someone was last on.
It's not useful if I wanted to be evasive and deny to someone that I was online.
It must annoy those that don't want to give straight answers to people about why they were online but never contacted them ...... I'd just block people who I didn't want invasive questions from.
I can't think of any other reason why it'd be annoying ....

Why would you want to hide you’re online, if it’s to avoid someone then block them. It would be even more annoying if you didn’t know whether people were online or not, it’s bad enough when you message someone cause it shows they’re online, then you look again and they’ve been offline for 5 minutes. |

I can understand why the OP and other women might find it irritating because its useful information to stalkers and to people who don't know how to behave when conducting themselves with single women swingers. It does however serve the purpose of indicating if someone is active on the site . If you take it away entirely you could not differentiate between redundant profiles and current profiles. |

"We find that a handy feature. Sometimes you come across a profile that looks interesting, then you notice they've not been online for a month, so it's pointless messaging them.
C"
Hmm this is true
Should be an option to remove it I think. Like whatsapp introduced. |

As a single female I find that the number of messages definitely increases when I am online and it does sometimes result in more persistent messaging from some. It's like they think by being online I am automatically up for chatting, the reality is I'm usually just hanging out on the forums and ignoring my inbox. |

No, it doesn't bother me. I think it could be useful in that it would indicate to someone looking at a profile whether that person is looking or just set up a profile and then forgot about, if your last on states 1 year ago then no good trying to contact.
Hope I am making sense |
