    I have posted mine and do appreciate the opportunity to converse and possibly meet people in my area. I don't really fit the normal profile of a victim, though.

    I do understand that there are some knuckleheads out there and I probably wouldn't want my wife or daughters puttting too much info out there, however.

    Because the internet can be a scary place. Everyone here SEEMS cool, but that doesn't mean everyone that looks at this site is posting on here. I have kids, and for me it's better safe than sorry. That said, if someone chats with me and it comes up in conversation then I don't have too much of a problem telling them. I just don't want it out there for the entire world to see.

    Sheesh if you only knew that I am up in the tree looking into your window at home laptop and binoculars in hand.....PAUSE....

    honey, i love you but you are a creep. lol
    Took the words right outta my mouth lol

    No sense of humor.....I have like 14 people before you on my list to go stalk. Don't get your hopes up!

    I don't post my location because I have no desire to have local meetups, and I have no desire to advertise to the world where I live. It's not important to me, and I don't want people sending me friend requests just because I happen to live near them.

    Personally, I think guys feel safer on the internet than do women.
    Not to say that women don't "stalk" but I think they are much less of a threat to a man.
    If a man truly has evil intentions (I am not implying that you do) then he can easily harm a woman.
    I don't think as many women physically harm men.
    In general, guys are bigger, stronger and more aggressive.

    I try to minimize the information I provide on the internet. This includes being aware of the privacy settings on social sites (like Facebook). Even though all your data is there to be mined by google and others, why make it easy for them?

    I have been hanging out on the internet long enough to know there are some serious FREAKS out there. Back in the 2007 someone reported me to the RSPCC (luckily she couldn't get hold of my address so they wouldn't take her seriously) because we fell out in a forum. I have had a lot of that kind of freaky stalker thing. I think I attract weirdos.

    It simply never occured to me to post a location until recently.

    Otherwise I never knew that people were specifically paying attention to it or spending much time wondering about it...maybe I should take it down when I think of it that way. LOL!

    I would love to meet people in my area, but unfortunately I do have to watch what I put on the internet. I found out the hard way on Facebook. I work as a mental health therapist, and a client found me on facebook and set up a fake profile to friend request me. Fortunately I never posted my address/phone number on my facebook profile, but just by accidentally adding him (I play the stupid facebook games from time to time, so I thought that was why a stranger requested me), he had access to my husband's profile, my sister....
    The client ended up feeling guilty for his actions and fessed up. Needless to say my profile settings in various accounts have been VERY restricted since that time.
