I have hidden mine when I needed a break but did not want to leave. Others I know have been harassed and thought hiding their profile was a way to stop it.
Aften wondered the same thing ....you get a first message and their profile is hidden or they blocked you
What the point of the feckin message
Is it a case of chickening out or a case of what the fuck did I send that for
Our biggest issue with fab is why are people allowed to view your pics when they have zero on show themselves . Or as op said , have their profile set to prvt.
I put my profile on private to cut down on messages, if I m talking to 2 or 3 people that's enough, don't need to chat to more new people. I forget it's on private sometimes, people have asked me to put it back on public, and I have.
So sometimes it's for pretty neutral reasons, nothing personal to anyone.
I haven't put my on private, yet anyway's.
If I get a message from a private/hidden profile. I can't be arsed to reply to them
I don't see the point of it.
Each to they're own.
