I don't really understand what's embarrassing about it? Even if you read hentai, I don't see what's so horrible about that. Different people enjoy reading different things. I don't judge someone based on what they read, and I think people who do judge are shallow.
Though I understand why some people don't have their lists public. Some people are lazy and just haven't changed the default options, others don't know how/that you can.
Personally, I keep my lists public. At least everything except Wishlist, I think, simply because I haven't bothered to mark that one viewable to the public. Not because I care if people see.

Maybe because people have their guilty pleasures, and it wouldn't be as pleasurable if everyone knew about it? 😕

My lists are public. How else would I show off I've read too much manga? I'm not ashamed about all the yaoi either. :3 shrugs I'm female and over 18.
It was public before but when some site changes were implemented it turned private...I never bothered changing it back again...
I discovered this feature only this summer. I never made use of it until one day I actually decided to put something in the lists...After an hour I gave up. 🤢 Too bothersome for me...I'm just randomly adding a manga or two every now and then but I don't really obsess over it.

Just wondering why people hide their manga list and why?
Why I hide my list and why?
...
Your asking me the same question twice...
I think she means "Do you hide your manga list? If so, why?"
For me, I like to read Fullmetal Alchemist doujinshis, of which most of them are yaoi, and I'm not really reading it for the yaoi, and I don't want it to say on my profile "Juliab's favorite genre is yaoi"... I guess that's kind of a silly reason 😛

Well, I don't hide my manga nor my anime. What I do hide is my real identity online 🙂
Fu fu fu.
It is because of my line of work, if people were to learn that I read manga or watch anime, I would lose a lot of face/reputation. And for me my face/reputation means everything T_T
Sad but I need the money to keep on feeding myself and living, if you know what I mean.

i hid my wish list to save people from headaches since i have 345 series, but i opened it. my other lists were already open. i don't get why you'd want to see what i've read if i don't ask for reccomendations. you can get enough info about me through my posts. and viewing my wish list is even more pointless.
anyways, all's open for you to pick at, if anyone does this.

i don't really see any point in hiding lists.....
but as for gender, it's just for privacy reasons.

While your wish list might not be useful, if I happen to find someone who seems to have similar taste as me, looking at the things they've completed (and rated) or recommend, etc. (especially now that custom lists are available) can be handy.
I thought about keeping them hidden so that people who didn't want to run across Yaoi or Hentai could avoid it, but now that you can separate out into custom lists, I don't see any need if you name the list appropriately. I thought about hiding for privacy reasons too, but given some of the topics I've posted and posted in, that's rather pointless. =)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
