Just wondering why people hide their manga list?
I also wonder why some people hide their gender.
Edit: Yah sorry for the stupid title.

i should hide my list cause i dont want people to know im a pervert 🤣 (that might be why they would want to hide there list**(CAUSE THERE CLOSET PERVERTS)**)
don't know...i also wonder why sometimes too
for manga list i would say either
1)they don't know how,
2)they don't care(since its off by default and too lazy to make it public)
3)they're ashamed of what they're reading
as for hiding their gender
1)same as above
2)same as above
3)privacy reasons...

My lists were hidden for a while because I didn't realize they were hidden by default.
As for hiding gender, I'd guess it's just for privacy.

reason number 2 for me. If you really want to find out what I'm watching or reading you can go looking for it yourself. I've got several lists spread out across the internet.

People have their reasons, but I do like to read people's lists. And sometimes I even discover new series through them. Mine's always open, 24/7. Nothin' to hide here mate.

I'm the same as Highway-STAR. i guess people don't know their lists are turned off by default, or they really don't think it's anyone's business to know what they're reading.

I don't hide my list, if I did it would be beacause I havent updated it in a long time. I read too many different series to bother updating it, if I ever do, I just update it on my MAL account because it does anime as well as manga, I just use this site for information and the forums now.
As for gender, I've never bothered, but now that you mention it, I think I'll leave it. It'll stop people changing the way they treat me, etc (which has already happened and it's annoying). It's fun to see people guessing too ^^

I hide mine just in case a family member wanders on here.
Catch my drift?

i hide mine cause it's quite obvious how far behind i'm in almost everyone of the series i have there...i just add a lot and never remember to read them

hmmm...because they're reading stuff, and would rather not have others know what they're reading, yup probably, i think it can be understandable, for instance, take this situation:
guy reads hentai with disgusting fetish, cousin also uses this site, cousin goes to open guy's list, but thankfuly prevented from doing so ^^
get it?
as for gender, it could be for any number of reasons!

Mine's public. If a family member who didn't know what I read was on here (1 out of 7--wow, Dad's out of it) , I'd be sunk already. He doesn't know about manga at all, and I hope it stays that way.
