So I’ve finally thought sod it and have started showing my face on here but I’m still a bit nervous about doing so. Has anyone had any bad repercussions from having their face on here?

No I haven’t had any issues, and I do hope you get to No1 as a result of taking this step. You’re so worth it!!

As an attractive woman, what’s the upside for you? You can show your face to people when you want, but doing so in advance probably exposes you to unwanted negatives.

Never had a public face pic up.

Previously due to a 'reputational disrepute' clause in my employment contract, now because I'm self employed and theres no point in tempting fate and ruining my business.

If people are happy to show them, all good. But there are plenty out there who wouldn't think twice about gossiping about seeing you on here, even though logic states that they have to be here themselves to see you.

The 'Chinese whisper' network and gossip groups have always been around on here and once a rumour starts it's impossible to stop.

We used to send privately when happy, arrange social meets and meet in clubs. So not having our faces on our profile never caused us any problems.

OP glad you have the confidence to be yourself. Yes it can be daunting and you have clearly thought about it. Your photos are tasteful so if you're comfortable and happy that's all that counts.

The good thing about fab is that as well as the spam and fakes there are lots of great people here as well.

Being true to yourself is so important for personal wellbeing.

I rarely show it, I was recognised once that I know of for sure. He was a nice guy, no negatives so far, but I have heard many a horror story which is why I don't show it all the time.

The way I look at it now is there’s nothing on my profile that I would be embarrassed about. No naked pics and I’ve limited my verifications too just social ones. I have pics of me on social media in a bikini so it’s not a lot different to the pics I have on here. As some of you have said, if someone recognises me then they are on here too.

I wouldn’t purely because we have recognised people on here. If it’s to close for comfort we block and never mention it again. Not worth the local gossip. Unfortunately those not in the lifestyle offline assume it’s a free for all and you could end up with a negative reputation. Have no problem sharing face pictures after a few message but we like to control who sees them. Each to their own though x

I was actually outed to family and friends without a face picture on my profile so in honesty I don’t think it makes a difference for the most part. Not that it made a difference to me.

Although i will have bouts of my face pics being open it’s not a full time thing, I like to maintain an element an anonymity. Especially if I’m not overly active.

I guess it’s all about what you’re comfortable with OP

Not necessarily. Someone could be on here, who then shows their best friend your pictures, who then shows their best friend who isn't on here, who then shows their best friend your pictures who also isn't on here but who knows you at work, or who knows your close family......

See where this could lead?

Of course if you are happy to show your face, then that is great. We just wouldn't dare, and think those people that do are brave.

Just to add. Even though we never had face pics on someone recognised Fox and outed her to her mother.

That was an awkward conversation. Still no idea who but always worth bearing in mind that anything that can identify you - face, tattoos or even your car/home decor - canngive away your identity.

And not just that, when you're out and about, fabbers could recognise you from your pictures and approach you in public at an awkward time. I've heard that happen to a few people. I was lucky the chap who recognised me was a gent about it and messaged me here.

Once your face is up, this can happen and saved forever, shared and posted whenever. Hell will freeze over before I put my face available to a site full of strangers personally.

Yep.

Set all sorts of panicking thoughts off in her head. We weren't even together then, just FB's.

Once we talked to her it was all ok eventually but could have been horrendous. Does amuse me that my mother in law knows how we got together. Not sure her dad would have had the same reaction though. Too many shotguns in this neck of the woods...........

Bah! Missed your face pic! That's what happens when you don't pay attention!

I've never had an issue myself, but I have long since switched to keeping my face pics friends-only and just sending them to people I'm chatting to.

I was talking about this recently with someone who messaged me inviting me to meet them at a club, but refused to send me a face pic on the grounds that she's got a job. That seems a bit over-cautious. I've got a job too, but I'm not going to the effort, time and expense of visiting a club to meet someone whose face I've never seen!

I know. I was thinking this. It’s not so much my job cos my friends and family know I’m on here so no one really to ‘out’ me to. It’s just one side of my job you need to make sure you’re not open to bribes or bring them into disrepute. It’s the school mums and dads more than anything. Wouldn’t want to embarrass my child

For the brief time it was visible it’s not worth worrying. Nothing you can do about it now, and the forum only has a very small number of users compared to the rest of the site. It’ll be fine.

Don't worry.

I show mine for a few hours every so often when I'm feeling brave and nothing bad has happened. The chances of someone recognising you are small, and even then it's only a negative if they're an arsehole, which not everyone is

There are lots who read and don't post though. I get lots of mail from men who don't post, but use the posts to initiate contact. Never would I post my face. Once out, can't be taken back. Too many people with bad ideas on the internet.

It was a screen shot of a message they had received from here from a woman in Kent. Problem was when they asked for a face photo it was of me!

Correct, as face pics being passed off as someone else was mentioned, anyone can take your face from any platform and claim to be you on another one.

I know, but the threat of outing you because you have been recognised on here by a member mailing you, is more worrying from my point of view. Someone seeing you on here and recognising you, coming up in the pub leering at you, is my angle.

It was a screen shot of a message they had received from here from a woman in Kent. Problem was when they asked for a face photo it was of me!

Again, I rest my case. Once you post your face, it can be taken and used forever.

But that goes for Facebook, Instagram, twitter...any social media really.

Yes I guess so but there isn't a stigma attached to being on those sites.

Yeah, 'I know you're on Facebook I'm gonna tell your boss' doesn't have the same threat level

I think what she's saying is people can steel your pictures of those platforms and use them here for example, pretending to be you.

Correct, as face pics being passed off as someone else was mentioned, anyone can take your face from any platform and claim to be you on another one. "

So if I get get recognised, I can deny all knowledge and say "what do you mean, this isn't Facebook"
