Do people who make their profile private think that people *****ad profiles are nosy?

Maybe there are things that they just want to talk about with their immediate circle, but not the public.

I respect people's opinions and right of privacy but I don’t understand why some people offer friendship and I can't view their profile...why would I accept their friend invite!?

Because once you are their friend, you can see their profile.   Having a friends only profile (which I have) allows you to put all sorts of personal information on there that you don't want to share with joe public/scammers etc.    I have pictures on there that I do not want public!

 

ETA:   You have to remember that this is a public board - you do NOT have to be a member to read on here and none of us know who is lurking!   Never put anything on here that you wouldn't advertise in your child's school/your church etc!!!!

It's exactly as Citizen Kim says. Some people are very private and somewhat uncomfortable posting on a WLS forum or putting any personal info online that anyone can access.

So, I don't think it's a matter of thinking people are nosy, but rather a hope to maintain some privacy while still being active on a WLS board.

Mine is the same reasoning as Kim's. Also if it is not set to friends only, your information and pictures can be easily found on Google.

Hi there!

One thing I didn't think about when I made my profile for friends only was that people who are not your friends can comment on your photos.  I'm sure you are smarter than me but I didn't catch that.  I had to contact OH for them to tell me to make my photos private. 

Congrats on your upcoming sleeve date!! :)
