Anonymity of the web...

Anyone share things on the internet that they normally wouldn't in real life? As if the anonymity of the web gives you the freedom to do so? I am amazed by the number of women who have posted their bra sizes...what else would you be willing to share that you wouldn't say to a stranger on the street?

    What is this anonymity that you speak of?

    I'm surprised how many people reveal their medical history and their personal relationships. Brave.

    hahha.

    sharing my bra size isn't really a secret - i think most can probably guess just walking by me ~anonymously~

    There are some things that I don't really care to share with others and things that I don't mind. For example, I don't care if you all know my bra size. I would also tell people in my life if they really asked - they're just boobs lol. But I wouldn't post bare pics on here, and I wouldn't do it in real life. Honestly, most of the opinions I express on here are things people in real life know about me!

    I didn't know sharing bra sizes was one of the world's previously best-kept secret. All the middle-school boys used to tell me I was a C cup before I even knew cup sizes existed.

    I share plenty on here.

    Specially after a few drinks.

    I'm shy in real life, but not online.

    Why? If you can do it online, you can also do it in real life

    I'm a very open person. But my bra size isn't a secret.. & I don't hide it from anyone.. It's pretty out there.
    I tell people anything if they ask. I don't run around naked, so I wouldn't send anyone a picture like that. See how that works ha.

    Sharing bra size? Of all the things that people share on the Internet, this is what has caught your attention. Wow, okay. Stay away from ALL fertility and pregnancy web sites and also the rest of the internet.

    Welcome to 1992. In the future, you may consider clutching your pearls over something of vital importance to your immediate person instead or clicking the red X in the top right corner of your screen.

    Yeah, I'd find males sharing certain measurements MUCH more surprising!
  • Im not really a shy person to begin with but I'm even more open on here.

    I share everything since the web is anonymous and I am in witness protection.

    The guy who said " you must be pretty effin stupid to think that the Internet provides any sort of identity protection."
    is pathetic. This kind of attitude is why I don't share much on line. Clearly he had his own issues to be so judgemental.

    I don't care what I say or what people know.

    I'm me....love it, hate it....I don't care! :huh:
  • I don't share anything online that I wouldn't IRL... but if I was talking to a bunch of people & bra sizes came up, I wouldn't be shy about telling mine. Same with a lot of personal information. I'm not ashamed of myself

    I don't share my bra size either.
    But moobs only come in a few, easily discernible sizes.

    Small

    Medium

    OMG, THEY ARE FLAPPING IN THE WIND!

    With dietary changes and exercise I now have smaller moobs.:bigsmile:

    Me too. I'll talk about highly superficial things, but not about my relationships, my family, or my innermost feelings. That's what "real" friends are for.

    REALLY? Cuz you know my name? where I live? What I look like? Anything other than what I choose to write here. I have a pretty public position in lfe, and am very cautious about anything I post. I would think as a public employee, you would get that. Or maybe you just wear suspenders and call yourself firefighter bc it makes you so much more appealing? :huh:

    I never could figure that out? How do they just look and know? I'm a woman and can't look and know. Maybe bc I never had the hands on...

    I guess I wasn't perfectly clear in the beginning...I am surprised. Not offended. It made me start to wonder what ELSE people share on social media that they might not walk up to a stranger and say. I don't know about you guys, but I don't walk up to every shmo on the street saying "I wear a 42 G", and in effect by posting it you are sharing with every shmo...but perhaps I am wrong in assuming that...what do you post that you wouldn't tell people just because you don't have to look them in the eye and say it out loud and see their reaction (like calling someone effing stupid for curiosity)?

    There's no such thing as anonymity on the Internet. Everything can be traced, tracked, and searched. Every single web page you visit collects identifying information, such as your IP address, your web browser, the device you are using (desktop, laptop, mobile phone, Windows, Mac, Linux,) and other information, all of which could potentially be traced back to you personally by anyone with access to the information. You're less "anonymous" online than you are walking down the street.

    LOOOOOOOOOL. No. You're hiding behind a computer screen when you're online, brah. Real life is completely different.

    This is all true. If you have reason to care, due perhaps to your profession or for personal reasons, you might not want to be so open online. Me, I don't care.
