Just how much information are you willing to give out?

Don't tell anyone a thing you wouldn't on the open board ever!

That's one reason I don't even do the PM thing anymore.

Just come in and deal with the conversations of the day.

No more. No less.

Anything else is unsafe cybering...
 
Damn girl

I could find you easy. All I gotta do is look for the sexiest Okie ever, then I will have found you. Duh!
 
dont tell anyone where you work where you live or any clues on how to find you ... unless you have a real life relationship with them also for example talking over the phone


i am pretty open with things i discuss on here about my personal life but i do have a brick wall on somethings that i wont discuss

To a complete stranger?

I've been pm'd and emailed quite a lot lately from newbies mainly asking me just exactly "WHERE" I'm located in Oklahoma. NOW, there are some of you that already know just where to find my ass but that is because we have established a relationship of some sort over a period of time. I don't feel comfortable giving out information to people that I just met or just appear out of anywhere asking for it.

How do you feel about the subject?

Find your ass? I thought it was between your legs and your back.
 
Im pretty open but

I have nothing at risk, no family or job that will be risked over this board. I can understand why you would want to be cautious
 
I'll tell almost anything, except the exact address or my last name.
But i have to meet the first person who is that interested in me :)
 
I would choose carefully both in terms of the info I give out, and the people I give it out to. No problem so far, however, since no has asked me for any info.

You are right on target, don't even give it a second thought. Listen to your instincts and that blessing of a "little voice inside", it's there for a reason. :)
But hey, atleast they are interested enough to actually want to meet you (I'm assuming the best here)...I seem to only attract those wishing to have me as ONLY an online fantasy. :rolleyes:
 
I tell people that I am in the Seattle area - which is close enough. I don't think anybody could locate me even if I gave them the exact city I lived in and the general area - there are just too many people here, and I use a PO box for all mail and addresses, even on my drivers license (yes I know, that is not technically kosher).

It depends on how vulnerable you are - I would certainly be more careful if I were a woman and was not as careful as I am about my privacy. Like I said, I have PO box for all mail and ID, I have a cell phone which the bill for goes to my PO box. It would be very hard to find me without a court order. Other people I can find in a minute or two if I have their real names - their addresses are online.

As a woman I would not give out general location info to such people - the state is enough. Some don't even care to give out which region they are in. A sensible person would understand.
 
How valuable is your personal security?

Never give an accurate location where you live to anyone unless you're ready to possibly have a stalker. Always meet an illusionary character (Internet Sweetie) at a neutral, populated place like a police station! Bring some friends, you want this to be a lunch date, not a rape.
Ted Bundy used to feign a broken arm in a cast struggling with something to get a victim lulled into the "friendly help" mode. We know of his history, and I'm glad he's toast before he could find the internet, and ten times the victims!
Careful, and shoot twice for center mass. :D

Jay-sus! All I wanted to do was talking about cheese :rolleyes:

How can I find out if my address is online?


there are some quite good people finders on the net ... mine listed the correct address but listed my name spelled wrong and listed someone else livingi here that i'd never heard of :)
 
Do they get the information from local white pages?

If so, if you are unlisted, the information wouldn't be there, right?

They had an old address for me from a different state.

Yes they do and no it shouldn't.

Try www.superpages.com to be sure. They list everyone they can.

As for me, most people here could figure out where I work by simple deduction. But you'd have to be a real dumbass to actually show up at my office door.

I know where you like to eat. ;)
You think you do - I haven't been back there since we went there to eat! :eek: I never go back to the scene of the crime.

Actually, I just don't like to eat out alone. :eek: When I worked across the street I would go over there to get take out, but I did not eat there alone.
 
My name is Dona, surname withheld

I live in Jacksonville, Florida. Big place, I'm sure I'm not the only Dona in town.

I opened an e-mail account at yahoo, Feelin' Naughty as the user name, as far as I know, no other info.

I feel relatively safe, I guess........
 
I've given out more to people than I probably should have but I honestly don't see how it can come back to haunt me. What the fuck are they going to do. Send me a bomb through the mail? Sit outside my apartment? Send pictures of me to the National Enquirer?

oops! um..... sit outside my ah, um... house boat?
