I Don't Get It, I Don't Just Don't Understand

i occasionally receive a private message from a new member, usually male, but a couple have been women, or said they were.

Some simply say "I want to get to know you"
To these, I invariably reply, "Why?"

I don't have a photo of a woman as my profile picture. I don't state my age. So, I ask why they've decided to know me. I'm curious. I really want to know why they chose me. Each one has become offended by my bad manners.

Why is it rude to ask someone what they find interesting about me?

probably they are just curious

@romell and I am too. My curiosity is as valid as theirs. They are curious about me, and I'm curious about why they picked me? If any one of them said I've seen some of your stories, or I read your about me, or I like the replies you give on Q&A, I'd then proceed with a conversation. Instead they say I'm rude.

@romell Thanks. I do that. But in the case of these people, they don't give me a chance to find out who they are or if I might like them. The block me for my bad manners.
