I'd firmly advice against being open about your personal information on the internet, especially on a dating site.

I understand every big internet corporation is pushing the idea that privacy is dead and that you ought to put every thing about you online for every one to see. But what made the internet great is its pseudonymous nature.

Don't lie on your profile, but don't put up identifying personal info either.

You mean, like a picture?
Like a face picture, or stupid myspace/facebook picture.

You'll never thank me for this because you probably won't have to face the worst of identity theft thanks to it.
