RE: My name is, what? The SteemIt Name Challenge - @sorin.cristescu
No way, man. I don't want some weirdo tracking me down. I mean, granted, it's not that hard to do if you're really determined. But I've had my fair share of grief in that regard. I like the pseudo-anonymity here. It gives me a fresh start. I don't like people in my business. I had a bad experience with that. That being said, I'm very much a face-value kind of a gal. So what you see is pretty much what you get.
There is something called psychology.

Weirdos are usually men. Ever wondered how men brains function ? Think Victoria's Secret.
Why this arouses more than a naked body ? Because it hides enough to seem challenging, enticing.
The best to hide is in plain sight. If your name is "littlescribe" the hunter-gatherer brain starts beeping: there's something to hunt and gather. If your pseudo is "Amanda Rosen" for instance there's no interest in going further, nothing left to discover.
When confronted with a lion in the savannah, stand still, do not run. Only prey run.
OK. Well....that's a good argument. I don't have a comeback to that. Other than, I have been stalked and harassed. And it's awful. And I prefer to eliminate that likelihood, while still allowing some freedom to be me. That being said, who am I kidding? I ain't no clandestine woman or anything. I'm pretty much out there wherever I go.
