Why do members leave "About Me" blank?

I came to Similar Worlds from the now defunct Experience Project. I always check people's profile before adding them as a friend. At EP it was customary to describe onself, where one was from, at least the time zone or country. I assumed that everyone will say something about themselves--but I am shocked that on SW only once have I found any information about somebody by clicking on "About Me" -- I don't understand why someone would join this site, which is to communicate with others, without saying something about themselves and why they are here. Otherwise what is the point? Just mindless ranting? So how about doing all of us, and yourself, a favor by telling something about you.

Similar Worlds is a new site, and is still somewhat under construction. When it first opened the "about me" feature wasn't even in place. So for many members they haven't gone back to fill that in. But there are many that have done so. But not everyone of course.

And as others here have said to you, many prefer not to put anything there. Or don't put anything other than the shorter one line explanation that is visible on the profile without opening the "about me" part. I think most people do put something there, even if they don't do more in depth in the "about me" section.
