I didn't fully follow what you posted, but I can see you have a very detailed
profile.  Lots of info about you -- more than most.

The analogy that we are "meeting" each other here is a good one.  If any of us
met in person and spoke a few words, we'd almost certainly know approximate age
and, based on accent, likely country/region of residence or origin.  I can't
really understand wanting to keep those sorts of things private.  As to the
other stuff, much of it is of the nature of things you'd only reveal once you
felt comfortable with somebody, so I can better understand keeping that private
up front.
