Why do some fabbers hide their profiles?
I can understand if all they want is to chat on cam or in the forums, but I was browsing through the Meets/Events board and found an interesting notice. I clicked on the username to see if I fit their criteria, but their profile was hidden.
The fabber had been on the site for over a year, so what would be the reason (apart from timewasting)? |

How can someone who hides their profile be timewasting? People hide them for a variety of reasons. The might want to take a break for a while but don't want to delete their profile or they may just want to browse the site without receiving lots of messages |

Thank you for your thoughts, but you have missed my point.
They posted an ad for a meeting.
That implies that they want to meet!
Why hide your profile if you are arranging a meeting? |

Maybe they did it for people on their friends list, saves them messaging individually. Why not ask them, you'll know the answer then. |

This as been answered because they want to do the searching without being in undated by messages |

The op is exercising his right to use the forum as he sees fit and ignoring all responses that he considers sarcastic or patronising . Its truly a beautiful thing. |

They may have posted the meet then some life stuff came up... hid their profile to avoid getting mail, but forgot about the meet request. |

This for me!
I'm busy with work, I'm about to become a granny, going through the menopause so not meeting. Still like to browse the forums and chat...If that's okay with the op that is!  |

Alternatively they may have forgotten they'd hidden their profile.... |

To be fair, the first sentence of your OP asks why do some fabbers hide their profiles. |

And to be fair the OP's initial post should be read in full. He's asked a perfectly valid question but some appear to have selective vision, raised their hackles, and responded accordingly. |

I did read the whole thread and commented accordingly. Some have answered part of it, others all of it. He has, in effect, asked 2 questions the first being why do people hide their profiles, the second why would someone advertising a meet hide it. |

His first question was rhetorical as he answered it himself. The second question was why do people advertise for meets if their profiles are hidden? A perfectly valid question in my not-so humble opinion. |

Which is why I responded by answering it. I also advised messaging them and asking as then he would know the exact reason. |

Many thanks to all for the interest shown. I didn't realise that my posting would cause any controversy!
Some responses have offered suggestions which answer why people might advertise a meet and hide their profile - so I have been given some good ideas.
Just for info - I did send a message to the fabber who advertised the meet, mentioning that their profile was hidden and asking for information, - but my message was deleted unread!
I think this thread has now run its course, so thank you again to everyone who took the time to respond. |

Looks that way doesn't it?! At least the rest gave an answer to the first part, ie: why do some people hide their profiles. I think now between us all the op has his answers! |

You're not meeting though. The ops point was that someone posted a meet notice and when he went to respond the profile was hidden. While I wouldn't have used the 'timewaster' handle I can understand why he would be frustrated. |

It could be for all sorts of reasons, many of which others have mentioned. I can't see the problem, if you're interested them message them and ask them to show their profile if they're interested in you, if not, just move on. |

Ive posted a looking to meet then been completely demoralised by the response from people i have told a number of times it isn't going to happen, or numbers of people that im just not interested in.
To the point you get hassled and feel under pressure to reply , explain yourself etc,. In the end you just don't want to meet anymore and have been totally put off the idea.....I don't know maybe? |
