I see that few people give their location. Is this because they've been brainwashed into thinking that we can steal their identities from this very general piece of information. - geofc, Nov 28, 2012

Rey has it almost all but an option for "Como eres" could be "What are you like?". On the end "se llaman" is serously incomplete but means "they are called".

Isnt it the same thing? - Rey_Mysterio, Nov 27, 2012
While they mean much the same, the feeling/mode is quite different. "Describe yourself" is framed as a command and sounds as if the source is an imperative, "What are you like" is a polite enquiry. - geofc, Nov 28, 2012
