So She Viewed My Profile

While it is not as impressive a sobriety as Graham McKennee, I have not checked who viewed my profile in more than a year. I received a lot of hate views. Undoubtedly there have been many since October 7.

A connection request came through. It sounded fishy. A women with a far-off picture and a vague headline- is there an Arkansas City, Kansas? There is. It remains to be seen if this person lives there or lives at all.

Viewing her profile led to a notice she viewed mine. Do they expect us to do business? How about a love connection? That only happens with fakes. She had seventeen followers, not really mentioning her work and followed various pages. Nothing personal.

The next time I checked, she withdrew the request. Was "she" only trying to have me view her profile? Connections who have blocked me viewed my profile frequently.

If they simply said "You went too far" or "That rubbed me the wrong way" I might have been able to salvage the relationship. I rarely view a connection's profile. If I want a phone number that is a good reason to view their profile.

It is no surprise that someone who requested to connect "Viewed my profile". How else would they have made the request? It's nothing special. If I were to upgrade to Premium she would be equally fake.

The number of LinkedIn accounts never goes down. I was in contact with someone who was banned from this site. He has many good points. And someone complained about something so he no longer has access to many lovely people.

This was more of a community when I met him. The last thing I need is to collect names. Just because a woman requests to connect- if anyone wants to connect, act like you have a job or are looking for work.

Present yourself in a way that doesn't sound fishy. Sometimes it seems like someone might be fake. There is enough in their profile to decide a connection should be made.

Check their comments. If they never comment on anything- this person shared a couple items. If there were comments and shares I might have accepted. I have accepted or rejected requests based on comments.

If their last four comments are angry and political- that is what they will bring to the feed. The good has to outweigh the bad. Some connections post or comment about topics I disagree with. If it's once in a while- they have many good points as well.

If they make fun of Paul Pelosi being assaulted in his home- don't do business with someone like that. Comments are an introduction. If the comments are positive and supportive- I once accepted a request because every comment began with "Yes" and she elaborated why she enjoyed the post.

Sometimes it is better not requesting to connect. Fill out your profile and let the world know you want to be here. If all you want is someone who views your profile- unless you are here for business reasons that is a vanity metric.

Attractive women receive profile views when they post selfies. Will it lead to business or unnecessary lust? I never posted selfies and like most men, no one ever hit on me in my twelve years on this site. I doubt there are any women who haven't been inappropriately approached on this site. Another story, another article. Don't do it. There are better reasons to connect.

And never send money to anyone you haven't met face to face. That is more common on dating sites. If someone is connecting because they want your money, you do not need them in your life.
