Hello,

I have a question about the "who's viewed me" feature on e-harmony. What counts as a profile view? I only ask this because I have been in communication with girls before on the website and they respond to my communications without "viewing" my profile.

I assume the following, but would like my guess confirmed if possible:

(1) If someone actually reads your "about me" section via "my matches", it is a view;
(2) If someone clicks the "X sent you a communication" button on your homepage, that does not count as a profile view (so long as the "about me" section is not opened);
(3) If someone views your pictures using method 2, no profile view as long as the member does not access the "about me" section.

Is that accurate?

If you click on the big orange button to reply to a message you will not be counted as viewing their profile, because you haven't. You just went to your inbox and replied. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how anyone could view your photos without viewing your profile as well. Unless you were in communication and hit the orange button rather than going into their profile.

Your best bet is to pretend the whole "who's viewed me" section isn't there and focus on communicating with people, rather than wondering what it means when someone does(n't) view your profile.

If someone's not communicating with me, why would I care if she looks at my profile? It's not like I get a nickel when she does that.

This exactly. I never look at this because it provides me no meaningful data at all. I only care about who has communicated with me.

This is not entirely correct. If you send a communication to someone then you show up under the Match Updates as having sent a communication but not under the Who's Viewed Me. You show up under the Who's Viewed Me when you only open a matches profile but don't send any communication.

The correct way to answer your questions is that sending a communication overrides a "profile view".

If you view a profile and do nothing else then you show up under the Who's Viewed Me. You if you click the red box that says to send some sort of communication you are still bring up the person's profile. If you had clicked on the red box and did not send a communication but had instead decided to click on the Back to My Matches instead then you would have been considered to have viewed the profile.

You can't view the photos without going to the profile, no matter how you get to the profile. The only exception to this is that if a person is in your Who's Viewed Me then you can hover your mouse pointer over the person's name and it will bring up a box with the person's Occupation, Age, Height, Ethnicity and date match was delivered along with a thumbnail of their photo. This you can do without being considered as a profile view.

Hope that helps.

Not sure you are correct on that one Gr8. I have had guys view me and also received a message of some sort from that person as well. I think it is how they enter your profile or their inbox for you. If they only enter the inbox and reply to your message then they wouldn't show up. If they open my profile to look at it again, then went to the inbox and sent me a message, they would show as having viewed me.
