Looked at me upsurge
Jump to: Newest in thread
Why would a sudden upsurge in people looking at our profile happen?
It's normally a couple of people a day, but today, nearly 80! Wtf?
I'm not complaining but we've also had a lot of messages from new people. We usually don't get messages out of the blue.
I did update some photos and tweaked our profile text, but why the sudden upsurge?
Is it something we've done? |

Starting a thread in the forum also results in an upsurge. Although in my case an upsurge is 3 instead of the usual none.
I just looked at your profile too to sort of prove my own point. Nice, I'm just up the road! |

Nothing wrong with drawing attention to your profile. Single men frequently start threads asking how to do just that and are often advised to contribute to the forum.
We're *all* here to draw attention to ourselves otherwise it's a bit pointless really.
Anyway op, it'll be your updated photos, we've added some yesterday and today, got loads of views and a heady six messages  |

Leaving a club review also seems to have a similar impact. I left one two days ago (not for that reason) and went from an average of 1-2 profile views per day to 11 yesterday and 9 the day before. Those are the ones I know of as I block single men. |

You will find that adding photos will get people looking amd msging you, it's how you advertise yourself on here. |

There is definitely a click on these forums. |

The negative comments were a bit silly. I've never wanted to draw attention or start a "look at me" thread, and that wasn't the purpose of My post.
I was simply surprised at an unusual level of views which was outside our normal couple a day.
We're not the type of people who seek any kind of attention other than participating in the scene.
These forums can be quite toxic at times. |

They can indeed but just rise above it.
We post pictures and interact because we can and we enjoy it but do find any new pictures or change of status brings in more views and often messages and it's nice to chat with people so it's all good. |

May have been a tongue in cheek kinda jokey reply rather than negative. |

Concentrate on the good replies would be my advice and celebrate the irony of publicly accusing another person of attention seeking  |

Yeah, adding photos, a status or chatting in the forum's always attracts a couple or three  |

All of the above increase traffic. At times both our profile or Beaus single profile have seen increases in traffic for no apparent reason but have been tied in with someone on verifications posting something or being in a different area. People click on them and subsequently verifications and then those people.
Just one of the idiosyncrasies of fab I suppose |

Thanks for the replies. I was just a bit spooked to be honest.
Now I realise that by posting this I'm going to be accused of self-promotion lol. You just can't win!
I've never once posted for profile advice as I do tend view those mainly as 'look at me' posts, nor do I care about how many people view it. Actually, the fewer the better as far as I'm concerned, as it is more likely to be people interested in our profile, rather than simply checking us out as a result of a forum post.
So it does seem that adding photos and posting in forums makes your profile more actively viewed, but we've been on here probably 15 years or so and been on the forums (not all that much) and added photos but never seen this happen.
Glad to say it seems to be back to normal now so we can slip back into the obscurity that we deserve!

Not sure why but am getting a similar upswing of couples looking at my profile but I didn’t tick looking for couples and haven’t changed anything, yet this past week it’s like my profile is being pushed to them
The messages I’m getting demanding why I say no to them isn’t ok, actually had to block couples being able to dm
One pair even went so far to demand I meet them because ’you meet men and women, we’re a man and a women’
Like I’m not allowed to be bisexual and not want consent 3ways or something, it’s nuts |

The subset of people on FS that can be considered to be classed as ‘arseholes’ is disturbingly large  |

I agree, it makes me feel like I’m bitchy af but the alternative is being a doormat so I guess there isn’t any in between, sadly |
