Very simble... you dont want your boss to catch you online...lol

many people use more than one/two/three names simultaneously on QL.. at times they even chat with each other... amazing... I say... and an equal number of both sexes do that...

However before building a virtual relationship it is always better to meet once in person before sharing things...

the real reason is:

most of QLers use QL during their office hours SO they're afraid from their boss coz maybe he/she is a QLer too

Yes. If they know your real name they can easily find your emails, mobile, date or birth, relationship status, IP address.

It is easy to know crack passwords with names mobile and DOB.

It is easy trac your location by IP address of your home and work..

If they know the location of your home and work OMG so many other things could happen... cheating easily...entering your home when you are at work.

If they have your mobile and you use some common applications like Whatsup they can easily get your picture without your knowledge.

Internet is no longer safe to keep things private...however diversity makes it more complicated but if someone wanna chase you they can do it very easily if you are more active online..even with your fake name.

Lol exactly my dear friend....

When i did, i was told by a QL stalker that he googled my name and found it everywhere.

i said, yeah ummm, thanks yes, you will find me on goggle, I had businesses to advertise, but doesn't mean I need to be on public display at a forum.

Lesson learned.

I use my real name, but I wouldn't recommend doing it. When I registered this account I wasn't expecting the majority of users to be retards.

YOU CAN ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR REAL NAME IN QATARLIVING. WHATEVER YOUR ANSWER IS, THAT WOULD BE OUR ANSWER TOO.

The monk is correct,

I even had my real pic....

That was a very bad idea....

My inbox was on over load....glad i changed the settings so I do not get email notifications when someone pms me.

STALKERS, yep I got em.....

. And of course un-wanted followers (tracker) to my posts, or comments......

I have met some QLers in real, we simply introduced ourselfs with our real name at our first meetup.

So no need to make it public for problems.

hmmmmmmmmmm. i asked this ques only out of curiosity. when i first made my ID, i was unaware of this fact and used my real name(as we do on fb). but afterwards when i saw that nobody use their real name, i also became apprehensive and tried making a new id but for that i needed a new email id. then i thought of asking this ques, to know the real reason so that i can decide my further course of action.

Real Name on any Internet site is a BIG fat retarded no no.

Why?

I will tell you why.

It all starts with your real name. Then it gets googled to see what type of classified ads you made on any forum. From those, they get the phone number. (so now they have your name and your phone number and your IP address, which tells your address as well)

after this it only takes 2 things:

A. Sell your info to every single marketing company and now people when they call you, you take them seriously because you think they are legit since they know some information about you.

B.

1- they connect to your network (very easy)

2- Allow a program called wireshark to sniff your data packets wirelessly.

3 - get all your passwords, credit card info, and all other personal info.

It is a public forum and one likes to maintain his/her privacy to general public.

Many morons misuse private information to take advantage of others. Nobody is afraid here....

We don't leave the doors of our house open, cuz we are afraid, its because we are not stupid :D

Why should it matter? People have the option to keep their identity to themselves.

Don't get hung up about it!
