    I'd tell a stranger on the street my bra size if they asked, though I'd certainly wonder why they were asking if it was a dude. It's not like it's deep personal question. *Shrug*

    How do you know anything shared here is even true? :tongue: I change a few pertinent details here and there, so you never know. Who's to say everyone doesn't?

    hmmm .... See the way I am on here is the way I am IRL lol. I really have no filter. I also really dont care what people think of me. A few years ago I decided that I was tired of trying to be something I'm not. And yes I will basically tell anyone anything they want to know. Things only make you uncomfortable if you let them

    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.
    Yeah, I'd find males sharing certain measurements MUCH more surprising!

    Like anyone would believe us. :P

    I google my real name regularly to make sure only what I expect to find comes up, and if not I go unsubscribe myself from the offending sites. I am completely U/PG in what I say on Facebook because colleagues etc are on my friend list, but here I open up more. You would have to be really bored to want to find out who I am :laugh:

    I can't think of anything I've shared online and wouldn't also feel comfortable sharing in person. I do tend to keep certain things *off* the interwebs, however, simply because of the non-private nature of internet forums and such. (I have made mistakes with using real names before, but I've tried to clean all that up as best as possible.) My bra size? Eh, if they can't tell by looking at me, and it happens to come up in a conversation, then I would have no qualms with sharing that information in person. Who cares? It's not like someone couldn't see for themselves how big my chest is.

    It's always hilarious to me, for example, on Linked In, there are 6 different people with my full name. And according to Google Maps, we all live within about 600 miles of each other. Things like that are always kind of creep me out. :laugh:

    I am far nicer online than in real life. I say some messed up junk when out with friends.

    I think instead of saying anonymity you could say personal accountability.
    Most people we interact with online we will never meet in real life.
    I think just for that reason alone it makes it easier to share certain things.

    I share what I would share in real life... sometimes a little too much, and sometimes nothing at all. I'm a pretty open person. I'm not ashamed of anything.

    I have time to think online of how to say things

    In real life I stumble my words as I get embarrassed speaking as I am so self conscious as I know I end up sounding like a baffoon

    I hate me

    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.

    This.

    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

    Yep, my sentiments exactly. Well said!

    Anything I share online is something I would walk up to someone in wal mart and say. I have no filters and do not care what people know about me

    I have shared things on here some of my real life friends don't know. I don't know why but I feel I can. Also don't care who knows my bra size! X

    im pretty open. ask and ill answer is how i live, i dont tend to offer up details like my bra size unless asked simply because i dont think people care to know, unless they ask.

    but im also like that in my real life as well

    I would never post anything that I would not be comfortable saying to someone face to face, or seeing quoted in the local paper... it is a public arena, and it is scary how it could be traced back to you. Being in politics, I know I have to be very careful. I have had to mediate in several situations where people have tweeted or emailed after a meeting or event, without thinking, and sometimes reacted in anger or after having had too much alcohol to be in control, and it has led to bitter feuds.

    thats about the only thing Im careful about putting out there. And by careful.... I chose a really discreet user name. doh. But a couple of times I posted my last name and retracted it. I dont care what you read or think about me - I just dont want any weirdos tracking me down.
