Why would...

[txgent101]

..a person be on Lit, do posts, etc.....and yet their profile never indicates whether they are male or female? Or their age? Not exactly conducive to communication...but possibly that is the reason? To be and stay anonymous? Lurkers of the world, just take down the veil ever so much...

What does age and gender have to do with posting on the boards?

Hey I get what you mean. When I joined lit I didn't provide much but my sex and age. It took a while to add more. I didn't want to be some mysterious character but was testing the waters.

Some folks like to be a mystery because it's their third (or 79th) alt. They burn bridges and have to come back as someone else.

I am just me. Take it or leave it. I have faults and sometimes I make mistakes. The mysterious character is just too much work for me.

Some people like their privacy more than others.

Yeah, I wonder when should I start to think about having an avatar.

Because I don't care whether you know or not how old I am or if I'm a dude or chick. Simply, indifferent.

I was told to get an avatar so people could recognize my posts more easily.

Some of us just don't like labels.

 

[lovetoread]

why in the world would anyone need to know such details?

Consciousness trumps infrastructure.

Hopefully.
