It's either people who really properly want to remain anonymous, or women who just don't want a million perverts spamming their inbox.

To avoid the influx of "Hi" PMs if I hang out here for longer than 30 minutes.

... But nobody hides their stupidity.

Likewise, why do so many hide their age??

I'm a dinner table

Because there are prudes and ignorant/rude people on SW who feel it is OK to categorize people based on their age and gender.

Some people prefer anonymity

got sick of the sexist comments

I can understand very well why a woman would hide her gender.

People who get to know her via the content of her posts and replies will eventually learn her gender. But the kind of man who repeatedly fires off annoying private messages might overlook her.

I hide mine because iam from Pluto and 958 years old 🤣🤣

Does it matter? Really?

Its a subtile way of telling people its no one's business how old they are or what sex they are, because they come on here for shits and giggles only. Most likely not here to hook up with anyone.

Crazy times, men think they are women and women think they are men. Even JFK would be shocked at this society, if he was brought back.

No, I'm not trying to hide my gender. I figure if they want to know what it is. They will find out when they read my profile

It's really necessary

Makes sense if it's a F not wanting any hassle from pervs.

I'm sure some do to avoid being a sexual target.

I feel SW provides a platform with anonymity and one has a liberty to role play their fantasy. Some seek to be flexible on their fantasy age and gender and so do not want to fix it.
Knowing that even if mentioned, it can be incorrect, I see no issue with these incomplete profiles 😊🙏

In most cases to avoid perverts

I assume they are catfish.

gender is a pair thing
by default, if you define yourself by one of the gender epithets, it implies that you need a paired half of the opposite gender

some people don't have that need

I suspect they do this because female accounts get more replies. If there is doubt of gender there is a room for the weird that happens here.

the ones I really don't get, are the ones that hide details and then complain about about the wrong demographic hitting on them

People make all kinds of assumptions based on age and gender; some of us would rather not have to deal with those assumptions up front.

Some people dont know their ass from a hole in the ground. No surprise they don't know their gender.

No clue lol. Its not a secret for me. When given the option i don't broadcast impertinent information.

Maybe i wanna troll the guys by having them think i was a smexy woman? Hm?

Considering where we are they probably arent even sure of their genders

Women hide it because of men

Wanna see my dick???

No, thank you...

Well, here it is anyway...

Anonymity doesn't include any specification, just nothing.

Maybe same reason they hide marital status?

they're ashamed of themselves

Because it's a Ninja thing

I like confusing people

Just assume they are M 15

It's a fad

I understand why some women do. Some male posters can very [b]aggressive[/b] with new female posters, especially young women. 😬

Improves anonymity and therefore the combat effectiveness of the keyboard warrior

Getting real tired of people not posting their credit card numbers and blood types🙄

Catfish and horny old dudes
