@Ralph- thanks, you've a nice picture as well!!! :)

@Shaimaa - you are so right - nice picture, by the way . . . :))

First of all I'm not a man!!! :))) But I think it's not important to show your marital status or age ....,etc. We must respect others' privacy. But there are other information which are much more important than this such as (name- gender- country- language)! There are some people here don't mention these information or they put wrong information about themselves, I don't really know why they do that!!! If you're a friend with someone, maybe you can ask him/her about what you want and it's optional to them to answer. Thanks! :)

Does it really matter in learning languages? Or am I being naive?

larry means "perhaps he forgot to indicate, or perhaps he does not want people to know if he is married. maybe he isn't on italki for dating and so doesn't want to talk about such things." If you want to know about a man's marital status, just ask him. :)
