"It's not about being anonymous. I don't have facepics on here and don't share them at any point. The issue is that some people do like to share other peoples facepics in chatgroups etc. They use them as currency. There is also a school of thought that while people are confident having their face in public pics and don't care if anyone sees them, others interpret that as a general laissez-faire attitude towards discretion and are reluctant to meet them. " Ye, so if anyone asks for a face pic, I should really say no? | |||

"Think about it this way, anyone who sees your pictures on fab is also on here too. If you're worried about being 'outed', just remember that anyone 'outing' you to family / firends / colleagues will be outing themselves at the same time" Good point well made | |||

"So if anyone has come across my profile, you'll notice I don't show my face for the most part unless you are a friend, mainly down to confidentiality and anonymity, but I want to ask around, does it matter if you want to show your face publicly on Fab or would you rather be anonymous to save face?" Some do some don’t. You can share it with people you want to meet with. | |||

"I don't have any face pics showing publicly, because some (*not all) men can be very creepy, and I don't want to be approached in public or looked up on other social media. " This is the reason I don't have face pics on public, really hate the thought of being recognized or approached by someone from fab while out and about. I do have face pics in friends only and I will send them if I'm chatting to someone and there is an interest on both sides. Its entirely up to you how you run your profile though OP, do whatever you are most comfortable with. | |||

"I used to show full face pics , I was self employed and didn’t care if I was recognised…and I was on occasions . I don’t have children and my close family and friends knows … I’m now employed, in a managerial role, working with young people in a night club , an alcohol fuelled environment and I frankly don’t need the gossips and don’t want my young colleagues or for their parents to feel uncomfortable regarding their working alongside a “depraved pervert” I feel it would bring disrepute and be an unnecessary distraction." yeah I get that totally so understand why the majority on here don't show face pic on show, my profile is pretty dam bland boring and nothing to raunchy but I suppose if it was proper let's say spicy maybe I wouldn't have it on public view lol | |||

"Personally, I don't want the whole world knowing what I do so I won't have public face pictures. I've received messages from people in the past I know in the real world so it's a good job I haven't got any face pictures. Do whatever you're comfortable with, everyone's fab journey is different." Absolutely spot on | |||

Which is why my face pic is on view and I’m off an age where really how I live my life is no one else’s business and I dont give a shit! I have been open and honest with my family about my lifestyle and they are okay with it . | |||

Ha ha this is like having a chat with one of my teenagers. It’s also just a face pic and a name. We have loads of them splattered all over the internet I imagine. | |||

Unless you chose not to, our profiles can be searched for through any regular browser. Not sure how much the non-members could see though. Answering the OP- there are still jobs out there that do not appreciate "online presence", particularly on this kind of sites. | |||

"Lack of face pics puts us off a profile. We are open and our friends/ family know what we are like. We get recognised in pubs and out and about occasionally. But in the 9 years we have been on and off here it’s never been a problem. We have seen a lot of our photos being used on other profiles and different websites. We do keep meaning to watermark them but always forget " That's fine for you. Others may not be particularly concerned about peoples reactions to them, but what about family, children, friends and work colleagues? Is it fair that your choices and lifestyles might result in negative behaviour and/or sentiments to them, due to your lifestyle choices? Isn't that a bit selfish not to be concerned about the impact on others? A | |||

"...but I want to ask around, does it matter if you want to show your face publicly on Fab or would you rather be anonymous..." • No, it doesn't matter. Or, put it another way: it only matters to the person who owns the profile on how anonymous they wish to be. | |||

"It doesn’t bother me who sees our face. Anyone on our friends list can view it. I’d have it public if it wasn’t for society’s narrow minding views when it comes to a place like fab. The mr " I’ve stuck mine public a few times, and I will again probably. On fab or social media, it is important to me to show my face (behind a profile) hopefully people see that it’s a real human being that they are ranting at. | |||

"My face pics are always in private but I do share them and ask others to show me what they look like in private chat. Can I ask, if you don’t ever share, them how can someone know if there’s any attraction? This is a genuine question? " Personally speaking I'm not looking to have sex with everyone I chat to on here so physical attraction from the off is irrelevant. I don't meet without at least one social so if I've been chatting for a while and there is enough interest from both of us to meet socially then I may share a pic at that point if they ask for one. That's only so we will recognise each other the following day. I approach every social meet as exactly that and if there is no attraction then no harm done and I've had a nice chat for an hour or so. It's never time wasted because by the time it gets to that we've already established that we have something in common even if it's not sexual attraction. I've never had a no show in six years so it works for me and I'm not changing it. | |||
