We'll see. Its not so much about friends - especially close friends - finding out I'm writing something, its more about avoiding any unnecessary labels being stapled onto me by people who don't know me (well). For example, if for some reason my face would show up in every TV in the world and it had a text stating that I am a "pickup guy", "self-help guy" or whatever, then I believe people would fetch the image that label represents in their mind (probably something sleazy, nerdy, dishonest, desperate, etc.) and attach it to me. Then when I'd meet new people I'd have to get through that 'initial reaction' they had of me, which I don't believe is completely accurate on all counts. Women especially are often very careful of their image, so I'd expect them to not want anything negative attached to them by association either. I admit there's some anxiety there, but there are just purely practical points to it as well. I'm not against having a polarizing image per se, I just want the image to be somewhat accurate.
