But why join a site like this then hide? Lurk around in the background just watching...if you got issues then surely you won't even have time to be online? |

I'm out of hiding for a few days, I hid originally as someone was reporting every status update to my FB and I didnt like the feeling of being spied on, however I was still lurking in the forum from them to time as you do |

Because they want to, we hid our profile for a time it was easier than leaving then setting up a new one.
We all do stuff that other people don't understand. I don't understand your username unless it describes what you're looking for. |

Kev and I both had single profiles before we met and became a couple.
My single profile is hidden because I'm no longer playing as a single. Haven't got around to deleting it yet - spose I'll do that at some point, but it's not causing any harm where it is so there's no rush, is there |

My issues are that Im back at work, contending with a 4 year old on my own and currently not in a position to meet.
However once the little guy is in bed I come on for a bit to chatter in the forums or message friends to say hi. I tried explaining this in my profile but no one read it so it's easier to hide for now. |

Took me awhile to get my profile how I like it and I'm not going to keep deleting it every time I want a break. |

How the hell is it creepy?
We had a break from the site for a bit so hid our profile so people didn't message us.
When we get inundated with messages again we hide while we catch up
When we are on a run of work and don't have time for a few days we hide so we don't come back to a full inbox. |

My couples profile is hidden at the moment since me and the BF are ships passing in the night workwise so time with each other is for just us. Hiding the profile momentarily stops us popping up on searches and getting messages. I'll sometimes hide my own for similar reasons. How is trying to save people from wasting their time creepy? |

Some female members (and probably some male members too) have asked admin for an option to show as offline when we are online so we aren't inundated with messages when we want to just cruise the forums or have a chat. Guess what admin told us? To hide our profiles.
Surprisingly not everyone on here is here for constant meets. Shocking, I know. Sometimes we want a break from the constant 'Fuk now?' and 'suk me.' messages.
Finally, what people do with their own profiles is their business. |

"Surely if your on a site like this you want to be found?"
.
Some prefer to hunt..!
They lurk in the dark and once they see someone they like, they jump and get their prey.
Creepy..?....It's part of the thrill....you better run away. |

Both our single profiles are hidden, that doesn't stop people trying!
I love getting messages on there saying "Wow! I saw your pix and you look hot, loved your profile....."!
And in response to why it's hidden: no longer single. |

But people cannot see your pictures or message you on a hidden profile |

Mines hidden because I'm not very well again, so we are not meeting just now. Still want to keep in touch with friends though and use the forums. Might even have a good day and fancy a social meet. Who knows. Not that its anyone else's business how we chose to run our account by the way.

You dont need to explain why your profile is hidden. Nobody does.
I was messaged from someone with a hidden profile last week. They made a point of saying they have had it hidden since last year. Ok, your choice. |

Yes you are completely right. Just trying to help the Op to understand this. Thank you. X |

It's beyond me why people can't just accept that we all use the site differently.
It's my profile, within the site rules, I shall write what I like, show the pics that suit me, look at whoever I like, block whoever I choose, message people who tickle my fancy, reply to who I like, ignore who I don't like and meet whomever I choose provided they want to meet me.
If I decide to have a break for whatever reason then I don't need to justify my reasons for hiding my profile to anyone. |

Far more creepy to be fixating on someone else's hidden profile... |

"Surely if your on a site like this you want to be found?"
What if you've already been found, want to use the site and need no further offers?
What if you're having a break and don't want people think you're rude because you don't reply?
What if people have a reason to need a moment of privacy?
People can do what they like and will normally have a reason for doing what they're doing. And on here, they will rarely feel the need to say why. |

"Find a profile that isn't hidden and go stalk them instead.
simple.
Stalking ain't fun unless they know your doing it "
Even with the profile active they can still stalk and not show
I'll hide my profile if I know I won't be meeting for a while, not going to delete it just to rejoin after a few weeks/months, to then have to start over again.
What gets me is people saying they're leaving when their site supporter runs out, if you want to leave you would regardless, I'm not one that will message questioning their decision I'll let them do what they want (rarely leave). The male half of a couple I know done it on his singles and I said I'd reimburse him the fiver |

I just get overwhelmed sometimes or the constant messages distract me from normal life stuff so I have to shut off. It's a good facility rather than having to delete your profile and lose you veris |

"Surely if your on a site like this you want to be found?"
I sometimes go into hidden mode if I wish to disappear for either a few days or months to go into incognito mode..
...or sometimes if I get a negative attitude and just want to browse quietly in the shadows as sometimes I just think what's the point in me even displaying my profile or looking for anything on here?...
then a bit of optimism creeps back Into my mind where hope remains and I make it unhidden again. |
