Some women are happy to exchange pm's as long as they disclose virtually nothing about what makes them tick. Do they disbelieve the "privacy" bit?

I think that would be for the individuals to answer.
Personally, I do not enjoy the conversations that dive into asking personal qns of any nature immediately. Let there be some mutual ground, let these things come out naturally, not as an interview.

@SW-User I'd still feel communication has to be two-way and eventually more or less balanced. Personally if I was making the effort to write at all, I'd have some interest in the other's interests, environment, etc. I still get the feeling that some women are over-cautious.

@alan20 Yes they probably are but I would not blame them. A lot of people take advantage of being anonymous and misuse these facilities which in turn causes people to be cautious of anyone new.

@SW-User I don't think I'd actually blame them, but I do think it can be a pity. I think we all have to risk poking our head out of the shell occasionally to experience life. Also - this is a genuine question - how can anonymity be misused, except by betraying a confidence? If we're offended by something that is said we simply don't respond.

They might be smart, one of the main reasons EP closed down was maintaining promised privacy was getting to be too difficult and cost too much. They don't seem to have those concerns here, probably because they don't have the same level of privacy.

@Subsumedpat I'm not challenging what you say but how do you know that?
