I Have a Question

Why do members choose to hide their friends and replies. I'm curious of why the secrecy?
[c=#BF0080]Because guys will follow you around on threads to get your attention. The only thing I have to hide is from stalkers.[/c]

Because of nosey bastards...

There seem to be 2 camps here, the ones who hide their age and gender and the ones who hide their friends and replies.

Last week I had someone with no age or gender on their profile tell me how wrong I was to "hide" my friends and replies on a public site and blocked me when she couldn't get me to change my mind about it.

I had another ageless, sexless person tell me they'd never be friends with me for the same reason. Frankly, I find it all a little hypocritical.

I myself am in the latter group. The way I see it, I don't give my offline friends access to my convos or contact list so I don't see why I'd provide a bunch of online strangers with that kind of info.

Why are there so many curious people, who can not understand
that there are things that do not concern them..?馃

It's not a secret it's a preference...I have nothing to hide.

Is that your pic?

Pink I do not stalk. I like to call it showing an interest! :p

I don't usually friend anyone if they hide these things. How can I check their profile if they hide it? I don't know if we have anything in common, so I just don't bother.
When you have crazy people threatening you, with multiple accounts it's either hide this stuff or leave.
[c=#BF0080]Emotion..? I don't see any emotions on this thread.. other than people answering your question. 馃[/c]

They are being evasive..

Either they are hiding from stalkers or they are up to no good.. Who knows..
[c=#BF0080]Umm no.. stalkers usually have many accounts or make up new ones.

It's how I'm interpreting them, just as you are interpreting otherwise.

Prob because it's been asked quite a few times...but I do understand the cutiosity.

Some stalkers are dubious and use puppet/spare profiles..

Angelita, I answered your same question on my other post. Looks like I have a stalker.. Ehhhh maybe
WCguy7941-45, M
Didn't realize I was going to incite so much emotion. I was simply curious
WCguy7941-45, M
Isn't that what the block feature is for? To prevent stalkers?
WCguy7941-45, M
You can hide your friends and any replies you make on threads
WCguy7941-45, M
Ok, thank you for admitting to that LMAO
