I think I filled my profile out pretty completely here, and back on TBDL. As I've mentioned before, being in the older age range I felt being as open as I could be in my profile would help members feel more comfortable about me being here. It could help show I had no bad motives, but had legit reasons for joining. *Older man joining and being very hush-hush about himself = CREEPY!* At least that's how I thought it might be perceived.

With younger members I can understand why they would want to be more selective in how much info they put in their profile, unless they only make it viewable to members they consider trusted friends.

Have to admit, I don't believe I've ever read anyone's complete profile before. What I've come to know about different member's is what I've learned from their individual posts or profile/PM messages.
