A couple of people on here know who I am...we have exchanged face pictures etc, a few know my name and real email address. Of the people that know I trust them enough to know that they wouldn't just turn up at my door.....well hopefully not anyway!!
I have done it about 23 times. I consider that anbody that requests to be my friend
, and those that I initiate friendship with deserve the "real" me.
Perhaps I am in a minority. Whilst clearly (duh!) the avatar isnt me everything on my profile is true even my location down to the local town. I have nothing to hide and actually dont feel comfortable not being me and perhaps telling porkies and sometimes BS. I am however single etc and have nothing to fear from the risks that others may have in different situations. Hope that makes sense !!
ive shared with 4 people here so far ..
One person on here knows more about me than he probably ever bargained for. And the lucky lush friends whom are also on my Facebook really know everything about me. What you see is what you get.
My first name is Kim but I have changed my surname otherwise my ASL is real as is my photo.
I haven't given my real ID, email address, phone number, Facebook or Twitter links to anyone and no one has asked me for them.
It would take a lot of time and trust building on their part for me to disclose more information.
From the other angle I haven't asked anyone for their real ID either
The selected people I often converse with on here know my name...It went well!
None so far but just got here
None. Except anyone who reads this I'm BATMAN!!!
I have revealed more personal things to a few persons, only a very select few. I do change my avatar at times, but today it's me. Gary hair and hat. I regard myself as a gentleman and trust people until they give me reason not to. I did recently get duped but that's a rare thing indeed. Yes, "JB" is a pen name, but all my friends know my real name, Gary. Now you all know it. Cheers.
I have not shared my info with anyone, but I'm also fairly new here. So, I can only give what I think of it.
I feel it would be great to share real info with selected individual, since you can share real thoughts with real same like peoples. You might not find this person on your job or within your circle of friends.
I also feel that many (not all) on this site might exercise who they really are. So it would be a real experience to share.
At least according to Oscar Wilde: Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask or lush, and he will tell you the truth.
well Wilde didn't put the word lush in it.

Life is simple; we are what we eat and what we read. Talk is superfluous.
Im fairly open: My first name is on my profile, I am a real nurse. My location is on my profile. I do keep my last name private. A couple of people on here have received my email. Im a little touchier with my phone number as I have had issues with people with it in the past. Again I have given to a couple people.
One person knows and she was the one that told me I should join here.
Haha people used to call me elvis when I had a fucking pompadour like that... I got the lip curl down.
I have only revealed my real identity and face to a couple people on here. They could find me easily if they wanted now that I think about it... And I'm glad I got to know them. They are both highly intelligent and I value their opinion on almost any matter besides peeing standing up, but that's about it. Like any other type of friendship there are ups and downs but that's why I like them in my life.
Just a handful of people know who I am off of here, and they have access to me in the real world, but only one has my cell number.

Latest story:
There are few people here who have seen pictures of me and more or less know where I live. Some of my friends and most of the moderating team know my first name. One person I have met and we have become good friends and have even been to each other's houses. And of course there is my boyfriend, who I met on here almost two years ago. Obviously he knows the real me...all of me ;)
Edit: The pics in my gallery (visible to friend's only) are all of me. My av is not me but those who have met me say it's pretty darn close to the real thing!
two so far....pictures, email, first names...working towards more with them and others....just takes time and trust
100,000+ and it goes up everytine someone joins. I've never intentionally hidden or lied about myself. I just don't advertise to the world
So far four. Two if you don't include Nicola and Gav. I keep my identity here private because I don't want people coming here following me. I am very well known in my world.
The only reason I have revealed my identity here is because it was necessary at the time.
Only one, its all about feeling comfortable online and until that happens my private life remains exactly that.
Two and it went very well! I am always wondering how my hidden sexuality will be taken by people especially when I tell them my profession.
not too many. and most went well, but one went horrible.. really bothered me...
