I'm a profile creep, what of it?

[moved ♥ 142]

I feel so creepy, especially since on MLPforums it shows who's visited your profile, but honestly I cannot help myself. I read people's entire bios well uh unless it's about their OC with 60 trillion accessories and colors and is a magic alicorn who saves the world and is so perfect *cough* I feel like it looks bizarre, but honestly, if you took the time to write all about yourself, I'm probably gonna read it all. I'm the type of person who once she starts reading something cannot stop herself.

 

I'm just so interested, you fascinate me my fellow bronies. I don't really know other bronies in real life, and the ones I do know only sort of like the show, or don't wanna talk about it. I'm just so utterly curious what everypony else is like.

 

Anyone else creepy like me?

Can't help myself, I'm sorry! xD

Sometimes I do a "wiki walk" through the user profiles on this site, in which I go from profile to profile by clicking on friends or people who recently viewed the profile as well, reading each one in the process. It's sort of like a game, and it helps me learn about the various members on this site. Is it a little creepy? Yes, but it's okay, I think.

[Unthradox 10]

It tells us who looks at us!? 


I think it's time I see if anyone actually found me interesting enough to look up my profile!

 

I have only two people, don't know wether that's good that people aren't creeping or not

[Snowdream 221]

Yeah i feel really awkward going on other ppls profiles when i have never talked to them in my life! and its strangle when you see ppl you have never seen viewing your profile

[Dev 251]

I used to play a game once, it's called "Profile surfing".

 

You start with someone who is online and go to their profile, then you go to their friends list and click on a random person there. You keep doing this until you find someone with 1 friend, then you send 'em a message. :3

[Motion Spark 7,807]

my doors are open for you you are not the only one, I'm always creepin' the "Post a Picture of Yourself" thread. I'm top poster and people most of the time don't mind that I am there...staring in silence, in a dark corner o_o

[Two-of-Hearts 168]

Yeah, I'm a creep, I look at joor profiles. Mwah ha ha.

 

Typically its actually a person's avatar that is most likely to get me to look at their profile. An interesting avatar will often lead me to click. I don't know if its that bad or creepy knowing who's been looking at your profile, cause I typically just look at their profile in return. XD

[Evilshy 5,090]

If somebody says something I find quite interesting, I'll often click their profile to see if I can find anything out about them, since chances are if they say something interesting, I'll think they're an interesting person.

 

I also like to form visualizations of users I post with a lot, and some people have their pictures in their profile. If not, at least I might have age and gender, maybe a few other descriptives to go off of :/

I also like seeing actual pictures of them so I can laugh at how wrong I was

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I'm actually the opposite.

I literally try to avoid people's profiles unless I just have to go there for something cause I don't wanna look like a stalker. X)

I'm actually set to anonymous just for that exact reason. Well, that and the fact that I misclick quite often.

[ColtofPersonality 855]

I'm fine with it. Ponies have the option of not putting their information on it and saying what they want. If you fool heatedly posted all your personal information its their own fault.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Sometime's i'll look at other peoples Bio's and stuff but only if I have really interacted with them...but right now I do feel like going and looking a whole bunch of people's profiles after thinking about it...

Anyway, I will go look at other peoples Bio's on occasion...but not all the time.

[The Stranger 812]

To be honest it bothers me when someone comes by my page and instead of saying hello and getting to know me they creep around my page then leave. I've come across some people who creep around my page for a few days and then disappear.

 

This reason alone is why I have no friends here. Maybe some people are just to afraid to contact me or just don't know how to be social.

[MiStErUnMeRry 328]

Always lurking around your profiles, watching you all from the shadows. I don't need a reason, I don't need to say anything. I just sit there, watching your activity, wondering what you are doing in real life right now. I think about the kind of dreams you had as a kid and I wonder if we was anything alike when we was both Innocent...where we ever Innocent?

 

Was you ever innocent to begin with...I don't know. I like to think about things like that. I imagine if we met, if I just popped up behind you right now if I could just watch you live your lives and wonder if you are anything like the online you. I just want to look at you, its a perfectly healthy thing to do, I don't see nothing wrong with it, probably because I'm busy looking at you. Thats the thing with you bronies...I can't see my own life, its always about you. What you eat, what you type, your mannerism, your fixation, your dislikes, your joy over brohoofs and you little status updates. I obsess over you. I store my room full of clothes, random clothes of both genders and props and I wear what I think what you would wear in real life or what you would apply. Then I put on the song Good Bye Horses.

 

Would you screw yourself....I would screw myself...I mean you...who is me...right now...I screw us so hard.

 

 

 

No. I'm just kidding. I'm just an mad link hopper and all those pictures just get my attention.

I like to read people's About Me pages too. It really doesn't matter. It's not like it's Facebook or anything. (If it was I wouldn't be on here.) Exactly like you said: "What of it?"

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

Sometimes I actually do look at other people's profiles. Mostly cause I wanna learn some things about people without starting a conversation. I am a very shy person who always fears asking a stupid question or making a complete ass of myself. I don't really like talking to new people because of that fear.

If someone captures my interest I'll generally give the profile a look. Or if I'm giving some sort of advice because you don't want to talk to a 30 year old like he's 15, I know from experience it can feel really insulting.

[Pisonisy 31]

I often visit profiles, for example because the person posts interesting things or has a nice avatar/signature to check out if there's more artwork or a link to his/her DeviantArt in the profile. I also like to read 'About me' pages, simply because I like reading about other people's interests. If that makes me a creep, then so be it.

[Starflower 323]

I do visit profiles, but not as much as the majority of you. I kinda fear of someone coming up to me and label me a stalker (or at least, that's what members at another forum called me when I visit profiles). But I'm sure you all wouldn't mind. xD If I visit your profile, that's just me saying "you're a pretty cool person, stay that way!"

[Mutemutt 773]

Out of consideration for the mental health of my stalkee(s), I stalk as a guest. This way they can go about their day without worry about why the same person has been visiting them so often. I ask that you kindly ignore that shadowy figure sitting in the corner of your profile page, watching you...

 

On a more straight forward note, I usually check someone's profile if I see them around the forums often and generally like their posts (or if I generally dislike them). Super long "about me" pages are my favorite "about me" pages. I just like getting to know people I guess, since most people can be very interesting.

Sometimes I click on someone's profile and just stare for hours. Sometimes I like to leave them cryptic messages like "I see you".

[Titan Rising 2,156]

Please don't look at my autobiography that I publically put on mlp forums for all to see.

 

I don't know whats creepier...  The people who read them, or the people who write them???

[PonyEcho 1,610]

yeah i think the only person who's profile i visit often is Sugar Plums since i keep falling into her trap.

also i kinda get weird'd out when the same person visits you profile over and over... feels kinda stalkerish ;/

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Meh I am neutral towards it and hey do sometimes look at others profiles at times but what of it? I just mostly post on the forums or on the GCT. Its a profile to show other what you like and enjoy that is all there is too it. Not anything creepy but yeah it would be odd *constantly* visiting others profiles

I like to check out the occasional profile, guilty of checking yours out.

But normally just do to find out what mind set the person is in. Especially in topics that can be debated.

Lets face it, often times a teen is going to think incredibly different than what I do at 22.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I check other people profiles if they have either cool avatars, or say something funny.

Then as long as the profile page is well written, i read it.. No matter how long it is.. If people have put effort in their "about me" page.. They're obviously people of great importantance.. thus it's my duty to read what they have to say about them selfs.
