Some really interesting TDers have nothing in their profiles. Is there a reason? Comments?

Maybe they still have not seen the "Edit Profile" button.

I've always been suspect of unfilled profiles. When I suspect a "childs" identity, I head right there. It speaks volumes when someone doesn't fill part of it out? That's not even a clue, it makes me wonder.

I think a lot of people havn't found the Edit Profile yet, but I do seem to find quite a few who have a little bit of info filled in but not much more. Though I suppose some people find that stuff too personal and don't want it out there for everyone to see.

When I joined, I filled out my profile right away, and have since changed it a little. But I do think alot of people are being careful and have noticed some draw for a few weeks then add something about themselves. I think its nice to know a little something about our favorites, as it gives me a mental pic. Like a book, I need a good description of the person I'm reading about! But that is just me!

I agree, it doesn't hurt to put a place of origin, age (arbitrary), put how old you feel! Maybe some hobbies or something. It's hard not having a face to speak to.

When I first joined there wasn't a profile page, I only found out about it when some of the others were mentioning how much they liked it. I thought it was a great idea and I filled mine in right then. I don't think I've changed it since.

It reminds me, when I was in grade school, having pen pals! I'm sure a young person today would laugh! They have the internet of My Space and cell phones. In fact my son came in last night with a new cell, and you can draw on it! And in colors!! Makes me feel old!! Haha.

I can understand not putting some things, but nothing. You can't miss it. If you use computers you know what "profile" is. It certainly doesn't mean the way your standing!

Thats funny! Your right, one should put something! And our profile would be sitting in a chair at the computer with TD!!!! You made me laugh!!

(ahem) gosh... My drawings, my comments, and nowadays my contributions to the forum are the way you get to know me.

I choose to go on leaving mine empty.

Cheers anyway, folks.

Qsilv - not even a tiny little bit! We want to know whose a guy or a gal. Ok, you're a person of mystery. Nothing wrong with that, we have to respect that.

(smiling now...) km, you're a sweetie, AND your work is sooo good that I search it out regularly.

Luna, you asked a fair question, kindly put. (And yeah, your work is jealous-making good... lol.)

Let me ask you all a question-- where else in this life besides the internet do you get such an opportunity to meet the inner person before the outer?

I guess if you fill it out honestly it could be called "Profiles in Courage!"

It's the glowing, intriguing, inner person that makes one curious about the outer person

I get very curious who I'm commenting too, it holds me back sometimes from commenting on something. I hate secrets!

I had my town and state on my profile, I now believe that isn't a good idea after seeing some of the weirdness that has gone on in this group.

I live in a large state. I see your point. It's scarey, you never know. Some of the things give me the creeps. You know what, you can't live your life in fear. You need to be careful and watchful. I got frighten once, where I used to live, I pulled in my garage, it was late and very dark. The snow had fallen and it was a hard snow. As I got out of the car I heard a crunch. It made my hair stand up! Whoever it was ran when I screamed. I had to hold on to a fence to walk I was so frightened. Didn't go out at night for a month. Looked out the window one of the nights and saw a car that I remembered from that night parked several cars away and someone was in it! Yeh! Be careful.

Seeing the outer person often stops us from being curious about --or looking carefully at-- the inner person.
