I've already given my exact address to... 5/6 people I think? Maybe more, if I've gotten to know people for long enough and they ask for it then idm giving it to them, altho I would usually question them if it was completely random.

My location is ridiculously obvious.

By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!''

The most I will reveal is the state I live in. I also won't give out my name on the internet, because I am literally the only person in the world with this first+last name, so that would be the same as giving out my address.

I've always put more emphasis on the question "Why would anyone want to 'stalk' me?" rather than "Can someone use this information to 'stalk' me?" I don't think that anyone has reasonable cause to care about me that much, so I'm fairly confident that my chances of being "stalked" are negligible. For that reason I don't mind revealing somewhat specific information about myself or my location. If I've known someone for a while, I wouldn't mind telling them more. Perhaps even everything, every last detail!

I thought you were from Toronto, but I guess I just made that up, lol.

I don't particularly mind giving out my location, as I don't believe I am stalk worthy. I can see why people would be wary though.

TBH I wouldn't release info other than I live in the UK, in Sheffield. because there will always be some low life looser that ends up mailing every one in the small town where I live cos theres like 50 houses so its not difficult to ring everyone or something all it takes is a postcode search and you have their number...

I knew you were alive this whole time, Walter.

Back to the OP, I'm not worried about being stalked because I'm a 6'3 adult male. If I was a 3'6 Loli, that might change things for me.

I guess there's no harm in revealing your city. I think computer geeks can easily find that info by using your IP location, anyway.

Exactly this is why I've become more relaxed about this matter. Ever since we changed our normal ADSL2+ 16K monthly charge to a VDSL2/FTTC 50k subscription, my place has been exactly located right on the city despite having changing IPs every day as well. Before, it could've been some other random place in the same federal state/("Bundesland") I'm living.

Well, I won't mention it directly in this thread, but anyone interested should have either stalked it easily out for themselves or asked me after at least getting a bit of friendly chatting done. Else, I simply don't see any point in shouting it from the rooftops.

I don't think it is a problem to reveal where you are from or even age (well maybe the age part depends on the site), I think it helps others to be more friend-like. But phone numbers or e-mails I find much more personal since they are a bigger part of your own contact infos.


E-Mail? Solution: Have a regular email, and a shit email. Not for new people, but people you've known that want to speak to you that way. You can upgrade them to your regular email if you deem them worthy.

I don't actually do this, I hate email messages in general. My email is like a newspaper, requires no player input.

I don't mind giving away country or state if a person is curious, but it's not my conversation starter, either.
