It only means they find you attractive. Nothing else.

Are you asking if there is hidden meaning?
If you're interested in meeting the fellow, the correct response would be, "okay, where and when?"
Yes, people get stood up all the time, it could happen, but you actually have to go through the process to see if it does...nothing ventured, nothing gained sorta thingy...

My want to meet feature is not in use, so I really don't know for certain, but I theorize many are checking their own desirability. "Wow, today I had ten women/men want to meet me. I'm hot."

I say you should send them a message if you have a mutual interest, you have nothing to lose. But only send one, if you get no reply move on.
I don't use the "meet" feature here. Back when I was on POF I did use the feature occasionally and sent messages when there was a mutual interest but I hardly ever got responses from those who supposedly wanted to meet me. On the other hand, the ones that I chose to not meet, I received several messages from them. I think it's more of a site controlled feature just trying to match people up in order to make them more active on the site.

All the winks, "wants to meet you" and general "greetings" get deleted. It is a shame too, cause some are nice looking men, and others have a lot in common. I figure if they can not be creative and put a little more effort forth, it is an indication of other issues. I truly don't mean to be so difficult (I understand some guys don't know what to say, shy, etc); but I am already bored with them imagine what the date would be like...

It is people who have found you, for whatever reason, attractive and would possibly be interested in meeting at some point in time.If you are intersted in this person, perhaps you may wish to make contact with them. If not, simply ignore it. Either way...The world won't come to an end.The women who wish to meet me are usually a couple hundred miles away and 65-75 years old.

@ un_bacio_per_le
It could be that they are simply expressing an interest in you and wishing to see if it might be mutual. Simply rejecting them based on your impression that they didn't make more effort will probably leave you alone with your cats in the future. It's the same as placing someone in your favorites. It doesn't mean they aren't worth a little bit of effort on your part as well.

At first glance, this seems harsh...
Trying to counter with why it isn't fitting gives me pause...the men I've dated in the past from DH have somehow captured my attention, albeit I can't remember how at the moment....but I do know I was never bored with them...
Men, bring your best game...please!

I think it means they are interested. If you are interested write them. If not ...don't. But never, ever make a thread about it. It indicates that you question cyber social standards. Big brother is watching.

Creativity is often looked at as being a player. Meaningful messages with good intent are deleted. Getting the attention of someone on-line is a random chance if they are not too tied up conversing with someone then they might answer back.
When you meet someone in real life you most often times start off with saying hi. Unless you’re walking around with a sign plastered on you’re back giving the details of what you’re looking for.
I have a lot of women stop me and make a nice comment about my car depending on how they come across I ask them if they are interested in the car or the driver. But it does make for good conversation.

I think you miss my point.
I am not saying that they need a sign, or over the top creativity. However, winks and just a "wants to meet you" immediately get deleted. And if they take the time to message me and just say Hi how are you and nothing more....well....boring. They could indicate what about my profile they liked, or didn't or they could compliment...something, anything...

I think the point was lost on both sides. As much as some women dislike sifting through the so called boring attempts of gaining their attention men get tired of writing messages that go unanswered.

<<----doesn't respond to the "let's me request@
I think it's just a way of keeping the site active , and keeping people engaged...if there is a real genuine interest in making a connection, people would exchange emails, making their interest known, as opposed to hiding behind a vague demonstration of interest

The first day I was on here, I was inundated with responses, winks, wants to meet, etc. I managed to sift through all the b.s. by only responding with the men who actually took the time and made a concerted effort. Very first day, a guy wrote me, and sent me a pic, we started communicating, then emails, number exchange and we already went out on a date. I must say it was one of the best dates I have ever been on. He was a total gentleman, fun to be with, had a great sense of humor. All from the first response. It was wonderful. My profile is kinda "intense" and he "got it"...I needed no more information he already made it past the first screening process. And, I am glad he did.

80% of those women really dont "wants to meet you" ...they just thought u were kinda attractive so they click "YES" i always would inquire about person who claims they wanna meet me, but then thats when u find out theyre never as serious as u WISH they would be

In most cases I think it means they pressed the "Maybe" button and that under the right conditions they would want to meet, or maybe they do it to see if there is a responce.

I have no idea how they are generated? I rarely look at mine because I am just here for laughs now. It`s the internet, I would imagine some people go through the pictures and profiles like a wish list? They may send out 20-30 let`s meet requests in hopes of getting a reply?
Even when I had an interest I rarely contacted anyone unless the picture and profile provoked an interest. There had to be compatible items in the profile, or items I could overlook unless pushed, a lot of common ground makes a start easier?
It`s your call on how to handle it, you have to decide on who and when you meet, or even reply to. I wouldn`t meet anyone that wasn`t capable of at least writing a response I could make sense of. I was more or less willing to message or talk on the phone until the lady felt comfortable meeting.
I always met in a public place, except for one lady that came to my home because of the travel distance.  I really had no interest in driving 150 miles to meet anyone, she must not have had much to do? She spent the night, in a separate bedroom and I made sure a couple of my kids would be here to protect me!
It seemed like a lot more fun at 20 or 30 to me, my interest waned. I have had more than enough do overs and start overs to be interested. Figure out what you want and don`t settle for less?
