...that you live? I've talked with some women online, they'll give a region or perhaps a county in which they live...but when you ask them what city, they won't tell you?

 

What, they afraid you'll find them or something? Come on it's a whole city! LOL

They just aren't that bright, and don't realize how stupid they are being.

Yeah, I was in the middle of an IM with her, and I asked her where she lived in < XXXXX county>

 

And she gives a smart ass answer "around"

 

Of course, I do live in a suburban area, a lot of uneducated rednecks, so it's probably par for the course. lol

Same reason , you, yourself, probably didn't put your location on your profile. :D

Um, I put my location in my profile, I have a city listed. Not sure where you got that idea from. I get a kick out of how people assume such things from posts

I do not have my location on my profile because I am not very smart and not internet savvy-also I read somewhere, one of the things one has to do for safe net surfing is not to reveal one's location :lmao::p!

And if she's not ready for you to know, its none of your business.

Your talking to women online and on the phone and have no idea where they are located ? talk about spinning your wheels..

 

I would think if a woman doesn't have a city in her profile it is because she is afraid of giving out to much info online..

or she lives in another country

I thought OP was talking strictly about dating sites where people are there for the reason of meeting others.

 

One other reason is they are paranoid that someone will find out they are talking to others online.

Yeah some girls are super paranoid. On their dating profiles it will have all these pics and tons of information about them but for location they will list Somewhere, CA :rolleyes:

IF I lived in a smaller town, I wouldn't want to give out my location. If you live in Chicago or San Francisco, it's going to be pretty hard to track someone down. But if you live somewhere with 2000 people, it would be pretty easy.

I seriously doubt it, you can't track someone down, the population of the area is irrelevant.

 

There's not enough information either way to track someone down, it's impossible.

 

All you have is a picture, her telling about herself in her profile, and that's it....oh yeah, and "Somewhere, California" lol.

 

Granted I live in a small-ER town, it's not all that small...it's populated decently, but not as populated as Atlanta or larger cities.

 

Though, I have SEEN this one woman on a dating site, that goes to my church, lol....of course, that's all moot.

Actually, it either means she has issues, or has something to hide.

 

How bout not even putting pictures of yourself up, I think that'd be even MORE of a reason, so you won't be recognized in public....of course people who don't put pics up use that as an excuse, too.

 

They don't want to be "found out!"

Also, usually when they do this, it might be a fake personal ad, that tries to get you to email them, and then they try to get YOUR email so they can spam you.

 

So, if you're putting "Somewhere, CA" and guys aren't emailing you, chances are they might think you're some fake Russian mail order bride or something. LOL
