Hi everyone... Mylotters from unspecified countries are on the top 4 position on mylot population after USA, India and Philippines. At this moment it has 21638 members... I dont know but curious to know why they dont wish to show their countries names? If you are among them then i would like to ask the reason as why you have hidden your country name? what are the basic reasons of not disclosing the names of your countries? Honestly. I am not interested to those mylotters. What your views or comments on them who are hiding their countries name? Are you interested to them to communicate? Sometimes, i think are they immigrants or refugees? Excuse me, no offense meant here... Just out of curiosity. have a nice day to you all.

People have there own reasons for doing or not doing what they do or don't. Some may have very strong reason for not mentioning their country while for some it may be just because of laziness...you know one more field to be filled. They just skip it knowing it is not compulsory to provide that information. I don't have any particular point of view about them and to me it is okay as far as they are here to share with the community, they sure are from this world, aren't they?

Hi raj.. You cant not predict any cultural or social differences between you and them unless knowing their countries. So, it may lead to misunderstanding. strong reason? I dont think that they have.. waiting to know from a same member. Good day.

Hmmm very true...you don't know the cultural and social differences but then some people are here just to know the behavioral differences (difference between point of views) rather then those two along with others like geographical and governmental policies! Strong reason...very much possible buddy. Why to go to a distance, take example of our neighbors! We all know what Pakistan actually is (a terrorists heaven) and there is a strong possibility that some Pakistanis hate it for being so while they love it for all the other reasons! Even I feel ashamed at times specially whenever there is a news of riot and on so many other occasions when politics is involved in our country.

I am not sure why there are a few who don't wish to put there country but I just figure it is personal reasons and they don't want to tell people where they are located.It is interesting though to know why.I hope that you have a great day.

I am also not too keen to interact with people who are hiding their country of origin. There is no harm in showing where they come from as we should be proud of our own country.

It is a choice that myLot has given and they are making use of it. Anyway I never go by who has put up a topic but by how interesting a topic is. If one is interested in establishing friendship with these 'unspecified' users one can send them a friends request and may be through messages get to know all about them.

hi shibham I too am wondering why unspecified, if you have nothing to hide, are not wanted by the law why not say I come from India or Afric or Japan or the New Hybrides or what ever. It makes me leery as to what the reason is. I love to have and make friends from all over the world. Most on my friends list are very proud to tell me where they are from and share their c ulture and customs with me. I am an American and proud to be one and always say where I am from.If we have nothing to hide why hide behind unspecified country. Perhaps they have some fears but I feel we are very safe on mylot

Exactly hatley... but rather i would like to say that they are here only to make money and using this site as a money machine. They are not interested to share their national knowledges or gain too from others. They are not to here to create a good friendship. I never find any reason for this attitude. have a nice day.

Me again, I would go along with "theSid" about having no issues as to where anyone is from as long as there are more discussions. They could well feel that if they put their Country or Town where they are from that People other People could trace as it has been mentioned. In my Facebook I have changed the location to Barcelona for my sake as well. I will explain that to you one Day.xxx

Hiya shibs, There is a reason but I can´t put it on here it´s to do with very personal things in our life you see so that is why I have just set it to being that City. Not that anyone does not know where I am from already. To do with our personal security in a way that´s why I can´t explain it here. But anyway seeing as you know where I am from and where I was born and I love Barcelona a lot. I have been reading your posts but have been having time out for Family reasons quite stressful ones. So I am adding a bit here and a bit there as I go along and when I can. It´s also very very hot and too much to do at the moment (grin). xxx Take care now shibs.xxx

Hiya shibys, Me I am from Wolverhampton Staffs., England U.K. but because I live here in Spain all the time that is why I put Spain but really I am English well the last time I looked in the Mirror I thought I was. (grin). I would love to be able to put U.K. instead but seeing as I live here permanently well at the moment I cannot put U.K. Really I don´t mind if they don´t put their Country more or less sometimes I can read between the lines and see where they might be from anyway. Not all the time though. I guess it´s like Richnai says other People have different ways of thinking. Also I might be a little blue Angel from Alfa Centauro I might be Jaiho´s Sister from wherever that place was I can´t get back to the page to see it right now. Okay just kidding shibs have to go now I must be away to my land of England for a year and a Day again just kidding.

I shall inform you about my tour but you have already said that you have a tiny broom to stay with... so where i shall spend the night? in a cottage or lodge or hotel??? But be sure, i can sleep on floor but there should be the intimate attitude from that friend. I hope you are able to give me a floor to sleep and a night to gossip. have a nice day dear angel.

Hiya shibs, Me a good predictor? I suppose that I could be sometimes I am quite good at that. Guess it´s the way they express things certain things that make me think more. Really it´s more logic than anything else for me not a case of having a Crystal Ball is it (grin). Sometimes I can tell over the phone as well if I let my intuition work on it´s own and I can also tell if they are telling me tall stories too. I have had some practice believe me if I have´nt. Hope the weather is as nice there for you as it is for us here.xxx PS:Coming on the plane to Spain? I almost forgot what you said then as I am trying to cram in all this before the "gong" sounds (grin). Okay then but which flight and where? xxx

Hi mamu I have no issues whether they are from anywhere... as long as I have better discussions and participations between them and me. The only ones I have issues is with people who are rude here or trolls. Otherwise, we are all humans and good people around... country, religion, gender, other "unspecified" things dont bother me... I dont think beyond anything except how well our thoughts meet or match

Namaste amigo! Oh yes,I've noticed that too when I had to know from what country a mylotter is,just curious,hehe! Honestly amigo,at first mine was unspecified too since I'm not that techy and I don't know why my country is not written there. But then since I wanted to put some infos about me,I was able to put it,lol! For whatever reason a mylotter has for that,I respect it. And if he/she is already a friend and close to me,I guess I'll just have to ask. See yah amigo,sorry for my delayed reply,hehe!

Namaste amigo! Haha,you made smile by saying you have some kind of attachments to filipinos...hmmm...I think I know why! Lol! I hope to see you in our country amigo,wish you could visit us here especially my friends bhaby and jaiho. You mean if you sense that a mylotter is a filipino,you'd still accept them even if their country is unspecified? How can one harm us when their country is just unspecified amigo?

yes amiga, obviously i will accept a request if i am able to predict him/her as a philippino. lol. By the way why you think that i have special attachment?. My bride? if so then you are right because my bride is on your home and thats your daughter. then can harm because they have no identity. Take care amiga.

Hi shibham! I hadn't noticed there was a population here that had unspecified countries. I am wondering if they are afraid there would be some sort of mistreatment because of their origin. I think it is great to know what country our friends are from. It can help us to learn about each other and sometimes even understand their responses.

Hi jen... Yes, there must have some serious issues that they dont like to disclose their country names. I have not found any proper reason for hiding the name. Anyway, have a nice day.

Hi shibham When I first signed up and saw unspecified, I just took it as members who wanted to hide their identity and or for added security. I can really understand it, but since I have nothing to take from me, I did not hide mine. lol Anyways I have also learned that some are put in that category that myLot does not have a category for. I guess what they mean is that if there is none listed it automatically goes there. I guess the only way to see if that in fact is true is, if one was to go through the profiles of several of them to see if they are truly unspecified and or myLot has not category for them. Because if there is no category maybe if that is the case they can ask for one so they are not so invisible that way. Of course only if they really wanted. It really does not bother me as I interact with just anybody really.

Hi HWG.. Its nice to hear from you that you have a great interest with all mylotters but so sorry to say you that i am not so polite like you. When i check a profile and find unspecified... i lose my interest and dont wish to visit again. Have a nice day.

I respect your preference. I am also not interested with those. I would only think that some are scammers and spammers, right? unless one is proven to provide real details, he would not be able to earn any trust or reputation.
