Assuming it's private "chat", the only thing I won't discuss is what I know about other people. No topics about "me" are off limits. (interesting topic btw, thanks for asking it) Yeah sorry ment to mention in private chat what wont you discuss and yeah, I thought about asking it because someone asked me something the otherday about my waist messurements and I really didn't think it was any of their buisness and refused to share it with them. They got funny with me then blocked me so.... lol Im just being nosey really I gotta say that is a bit personal, and while I don't have a problem discussing physical traits the question would probably be enough of a "put off" that I'd drop the conversation. And I can certainly understand why women get turned off by such questions. But for me it's not be about the topic and not wanting to discus it just that I don't want to talk to someone like that. Now if it was in a context where it made sense to ask the question I'd be ok with it. Example, if someone just asked me if I was bald, I'd lose interest in talking to them right away. It suggests they are pretty superficial. But if I said I once shave all my hair off (no I haven't but if I had) and the other person asked if I had grown it all back, or was I now bald, I'd answer. Couldnt agree more with you, Someone added me on facebook a short while ago, they litterally said hello then asked my waist, hip, chest size, I told um wasn't gonna ever be comfortable telling um as it just wasnt called for asking for my size, I got a load of grief off them so I basically blocked um! If someone asked me my name and where I came from, I would say but only the town/city, not like I'm gonna give um the street address and directions to my house, I wouldnt give my date of birth either! someone I knew had some lad after 2 weeks of chatting her up ask her for her bank card details and some other stuff wasnt even on a need to know basis! She refused to ever see him again!

Sex. No matter how mundane the conversation usually is, it almost always ends up being turned towards a sexual nature.

Google your name and your town and just see what pops up, it's scary how much information is out there with very little prompting Online I never use my exact birth date or put in my full last name, or exact age. Close so as not to be trying to hide something, but far enough that no one can screw with my identity easily. If they are going to do that, I atleast want them to have to work for it Even then the information is obtainable, just not as easily. The scarier part, my children's information and addresses pop up I'm never out to scam someone, If someone gets close enough to be around me in person, such information is given. But a good friend told me a very long time ago to be wary of the internet and be careful. These were a precaution even before I learned how much information is out there at the click of a button. A thread that Terry (former Mingler) pointed out a while back opened my eyes WIDE.

When you chat to new people, what is one thing you refuse to talk about if it was to be bought up? It is entirely dependant upon what eactly is being brought up

I don't really have a list of things I won't talk about. It depends on the person and how the conversation is going. If I don't feel like talking about something at that time, I'll be clear about it.

I won't talk about money. Someone recently asked me if I owned my home, and that sent alarms through my mind. Not his business. If people are that interested in what I have, they are more likely to try to take it away from me.

There are some sites that will tell where you live, how much the home is worth, how many children you have, your phone number and address... Scarey. But once someone sees this information about me, they probably see that I have nothing to steal!

Some intimate details are better kept secret till you meet the person and assess if they're worth the information. My personal worth, address, work place and town are quite sensitive to me.:) the internet is a scary place..

How much money I make. Why does someone need to know how much a person makes?

I discourage all private messages, unless I invite someone to message me. I am only here for the forums. You would have to be interested in my interests to get me into messaging a lengthy anything.

I am pretty much honest about stuff, however I do have a habit when meeting a woman for the first time to not use my real name. It has never been a problem if we hang out later, there are many ways to get around it. However, i never had a cool nickname, I like Hondo. Do I look like or come off as a "Hondo"?
