What's wrong with the ppl here??
It's a common sense that GV is the platform where ppl can share their thoughts, feelings, suggestions and ask questions ANONYMOUSLY. Nobody knows each other here personally or professionally. But I see some sick mindset ppl PM in chats, their first question will be - Where are you from? What's your name? How old are you? Where is your native? Which company do you work with? What's wrong with these ppl? Why are they so much bothered about knowing the other person's personal and professional matters? Is this a matrimony site? Are they looking for a soulmate here to get married ? Are they trying to match their kundali with that information ? They don't have any other topics to discuss?? What exactly do they want?? And why one should disclose everything to strangers?? I am really pissed off from these kinda stupid minds 🤬. GOD save them
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑And yes, they will also ask whether the one is married or not and try to get contact no. to get in touch with WhatsApp and calls 🙆....but why???
I think that could be because people perceive your anonymous account as female account. I can recommend one idea if you would like to try - as a social experiment, if you want to understand if this is a gender specific experience in online forums, change you username and DP to portray it as a male account, and see if they are asking the same questions. I am very sure you won't see those questions anymore.
Kisi bhi random ladki ko thoda sa jaan ke
I mean naiveity ki bhi limit hoti hai
Some background info is okay, i,e. Where are you from and some extent of the nature of job and all. But why age and marital status?? If they are really a genuine person then first they should make the other person's comfort and trustworthy and automatically the both can be knowing each other in a better way. Asking about all history geography in first place is not fair at all
Sad to see ppl agreeing and supporting this maybe with the same mindset. But my main question is… why do you wanna know the age of a female ??? Is it the right approach ? What kinda person are you asking for the age of a female in the first place? What is your intention?
So,
I don’t think people are agreeing cuz they think it’s right.
More like it’s so common that it is surprising to see someone complain.
And this is common across almost every social media platform.
I definitely agree that there are a large subset of folks who also do this but not everyone is like that.
Knowing relationship status is totally irrelevant except it’s a dating app.
Even other PII is not relevant in most anonymous apps but again some people never change

Irrespective of gender 🤦🏻
Unfortunately it's common across platforms.
I kept wondering why GV has kept a limit of max 5 new people you can DM per month but I missed out on this scenario.
I can't imagine how worse it could have been if they didn't have this limit in place.
Well, the very first assumption that you made is wrong. Common sense is not that common. 🤷🏻♀️
Not just on anonymous platforms like Grapevine and Reddit, this happens on Linkedin as well. I'll not include social media here as it is a part and parcel of it (I hope you understand what I mean) 🤦🏻♀️.
This is equivalent to people asking the same questions in real life when you exchange just a few words. Some people are merely curious but yes, most of them are creeps. Same here, some might be genuinely interested in you (I know that is weird given the anonymity feature).
Sadly, there's nothing much you can do about it other than ignoring or blocking them if it gets too serious. 🤷🏻♀️
Aww Its okay, come're 😔
