FabSwingers.com forum: Profile Location Accuracy

Does it matter?

I've just been called a liar because my actual location is about 3 miles away from the real location (discretionary purposes).

I find it a bit harsh due to the accusers location being "East London", which could cover approximately 350 Square Miles.

Am I in the wrong here? What's the fab view on this?

Cheers,

Alan

I never give my location out, it's irrelevant, there's too many weirdos on here.

That's what I thought. The accusers reaction definitely seemed over the top given the typical relevance the location seems to have

Your photos would disagree, looks like paradise to me

Nope not entirely accurate.

We don’t want to put exact and if several miles makes a difference to someone then they aren’t really a consideration anyway.

It was more being called a liar that annoyed me I think. I could have put a wider location (borough, county etc.), but thought a couple of miles would be OK.

My actual location is an hour away from what it says on my profile.

It's nobody's business where I live.

But if an over reaction from said person imho, as long as it’s descriptive of a generalised area I think it’s fine

We recently changed ours to a wider area. I think it's wise to keep certain things vague on the net. We spend ages warning our kids of giving out too much personal information then ignore the warnings ourselves, it seems crazy

If they don’t like your explanation as to why you put whatever location you put then it’s their problem, just move on and find someone else on your wavelength

I’m not actually in Bath either, although I am soon to be the true Lord of Bath…

I would say that the person who is accusing you is simply goading you for their own motives, whatever they are.

It's no one's business to know your exact location.

OP I think you dodged a bullet there.

I'm actually in Scotland but shuuush don't tell anyone

Seriously, I wouldn't give my exact postcode location, because of the nutters/ weirdos on here.

I'm in the Southwest that's good enough

Unless someone is given a meeting address that's inaccurate, then there are no guarantees of anything, as so many technical constraints will influence things

If a guy just has enough bus fare for a short trip, he may be better off improving his stamina, through regular exercise.

My location is wrong, on purpose.

A guy argued with me once as it showed on his I was 5 miles away, it wouldn't believe me that I wasn't.

I never look at locations though.

No it’s not relevant to me. I don’t put my actual postcode. I only attend clubs so don’t use fab for arranging meets.

No you're not in the wrong.

I don't live in the centre of Manchester, but I'm pretty near.

Yes I recall finding out the hard way. Next time I may as well probe you for the best pie and mash shop in Pieminster!

I'd be more worried about people who are so blasé that they put their actual location. (As above, I live sort of in Manchester. And my set postcode is a few miles away. Too many fucking weirdos)

Mines pretty fluid as I update it with my work movements - when "at home" it's pretty close...

OP, you’ll find most of the women aren’t where they say they are, their sense of direction is terrible.
