I do accept everyone as they are, no matter age or sex. But at my age45, I don't want to find myself pm'ing to some teenage girl or boy without knowing and to be mistaken for some old pervert guy who is on the hunt for youngsters.
I think age and sex is a nasic for a site that wish to conect people who are lonely.
As for all the other details you asked, THIS are real more private one that can disclose who you are, so this is more for private chats...
So hobbies and interests are too personal, but age and gender is not? How does that work?
If you want more people to give you a chance, you are going to have to give up a little more information so they can know whether you are a good fit for them or not. Your age doesn't matter, your interests do. No one needs to know my age to get to know me. No one needs to know my gender to get to know me. I am ME, not a number, not a gender. Get to know ME.
However, by knowing that I game or that I enjoy cooking and photography, they'll get a better sense of who I am and whether or not my interests are in line with theirs.
As for the old pervert thing, do you generally go there before you know a person well? My advice there would be to hold off until you know them better and you are both comfortable.
