I am noticing that a lot of people are putting their full address in their profile. I wouldn't recommend this, as there are so many predators and people looking to steal identity, etc. I think safe is better than sorry. I would recommend listing your city and state, or even your street without a house number...but I would avoid listing your full address in your profile. Just a thought....my $.02.
