By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

Hi everyone,

I've been using the site for a couple of weeks now & fortunately I've met some fantastic people during my short time here. I'm thankful for the warm welcome that has been shown to me as a single guy, because I know its not easy after using other sites for a few years on and off.

However, a couple of weeks after joining I was messaged by a couple who stated that they 'liked my pics & found my profile interesting', so I started chatting with them. They seemed warm & friendly and things were going well until I got a one line message after about two hours of chatting, it read:

'So hows your brother'

I then asked who my brother was in response & they named him haha. They went onto name many of my friends, and new quite a lot of things in my personal life. They even said that they had met me at my parents house during a party many years ago.

The strange thing is I couldn't remember them at all, I just couldn't place them & who they could be. They sent me pics, but these were thumbnail size and I couldn't make them out, they didn't show a lot to be honest. And also they would not provide their names.

Now I stated to them that I'm not arsed in the slightest about who sees my profile, I'm a single guy with nothing to hide, and if someone does see me on here, then what are they doing on Fab too? Thats the reason I have my own genuine pics on, its not an issue to me.

But it got a little strange when I received another message saying:

'so does everyone know about this, or is it our little secret wink wink'

Needless to say they felt the wrath of the block button haha. I won't name them as I don't believe that's right, discretion for me is key. And being a newbie I may not be aware of all of the the swinging etiquette out there, and they certainly don't appear to have any knowledge, but I know how to keep it zipped lol

So what do you reckon??? Anyone else encountered this? How did you deal with it?

Just interested to hear your thoughts, thanks all you sexy fabbers

Have fun

Charlie

Must have missed something.. Why did you block them for asking if this was a secret?

Sorry, it was a little more than that. It was the general game playing that I felt they were indulging themselves in.

Telling me that they would send pics, but then emailing ones they were not identifiable in, not providing names etc, and although the wink wink could have been meant in a joking fun manner, it just didn't sit well with the other instances I've listed.

Hope that makes sense, or at least explains my reasoning for blocking.

No worries pal.

Well the back of her looked hot yeah haha. They actually said that they wanted to meet, but I couldn't do a blind date meet with them knowing me. I might have turned up and discovered that I didn't even like either of them when we met lol. And I told them that too

what difference is it going to make if u do or dont meet them lol?-ur not caring and heyho...u might be getting a shag that found U, rather than having to hunt lol

I hear what your saying mate. But for me a sexual connection comes from a least a little bit of trust, mutual respect, and of course fun. Not much of that was shown on their part unfortunately. So for me I wouldn't take things further

If one has nothing to hide, one has nothing to worry about.

Personally I would block them to prevent future contacts.

If they value their privacy about being on FAB, they would take the hint and stop bothering you, as they have more to lose than you.

IMHO.

I see where they're coming from here. There was a bit of an undertone in how they were coming across. They had two options IMO; either say hey we know you and then name themselves with a _iew to a meet. Or say sorry we know you, thanks but no thanks.

Despite your profile being open this still should be a discrete community. The whole thing about giving info about you with nothing about them is a bit off as far as I'm concerned. Really no need.

I think they're crossing boundaries and whether the OP is happy for people to know he's on here or not, it's his business and nobody else's. I agree with the OP that it sounded like game playing 'we know who you are but not telling you who we are' game which is a bit childish.

I think they sound very creepy!

If they know u in life and thought hey great I've always fancied him so glad he is into this like us maybe he will meet, then they should of come out and said who they were. Otherwise they were just playing and mocking u!

This whole thing is about discretion whether ur happy to be seen on here or not!

There have been threads before about seeing people u know and most people said just block them so they can't see u or ignore!

I think they sound creepy too at best they're gameplayers so you did right to block. You seem to have a pretty.balanced attitude OP whereas they behaved like silly kids sniggering up their sleeves.

I think if they are playing with you, teasing you and playing the guessing game: I suggest they grow the fuck up, be adults & advise you who they are or leave it alone and allow you to enjoy your fun.

good luck

We have had that locally where it got out that we werre swingers and some of the 'wink wink' suggestive comments made particularly to D were ridiculous.

I just felt that they were jealous as more people would do this if only they had the courage and self confidence.

Id have done the same as the op.

A little mystery &/or playfullness is one thing, however if they took it to far..

I have no problem with swingers knowing who I am, however swingers that know my friends- family, well I expect open honesty and discretion, because there is an element of trust involved (not to oust each other etc)

I know a number of swingers, and their families; however I would never slip something to a mum/sister etc. We use the connection as a bond, built on trust.

(Sometimes as an excuse, if someone wants to know where I am going, (babysitter or daughter) I say out with *****, and vice versa where I actually go is my business)

Play ground wink, wink, our secret etc belongs on the playground not in adult life

Yeah I agree that maybe if they wanted to chat, they could have opened with something such as 'Hi, we know you, would you still want to chat in this situation. By the way we are........TA DA!'

So true. I wonder if they do the same thing if pics are eventually exchanged with someone and then they recognise the person

OP - you said that you couldn't 'place' them from their pics as they weren't very clear..??? Did I read that correctly? And they sent other pics which would not have identified them..??

Did they have any veris or were photo verified? If not, there is the possibility that the people in the pics were not 'them' (or more likely .. him/her) and, by chance, the person behind it does know you, but it's NOT the people in the pics.

There are some right weirdos out there... maybe not a good idea to block them so quickly ...... ??

It certainly sounds as though you have turned this situation into a positive one that works in everyone's favour. I suppose it just goes to show the opposite to this scenario, and how it could have turned out with a little honesty & decency eh?

Yes that's right, they mentioned being at my parents house for a NYE party many years ago, they said that we spoke for quite a while, but it was NYE, so I may have had a few

They also named another one of my mates and said that we met once again at his party. So I do genuinely think they are adults believe it or not. They also knew my brother from where he drinks, and my friends from my local pub, so I'm assuming the ages were correct (early 40's if I remember right).

It has been suggested that I should have kept them unblocked in the hope that they would 'come good' or slip up lol

I don't recall that they had any verifs, and there was no way that they could be identified in the pics.

Also, even though the parties were some years ago. They knew of quite recent activity regarding my work, and they said that I have spoke to them at length in a gym also. I spend quite a bit of time there, so even that didn't narrow things down for me.

I need to call Columbo for some help haha

I agree - let them dig a very large hole for themselves.

I assume that your family don't know you are on here? It's entirely up to you how open you are about your lifestyle, but if you think they could cause problems at home, I would do everything I could to try to find out/work out who they are...

The funny thing is, my brother does know hahaha, as do all my friends. They know I've been single for many years, and that I do this. So the people who are close to me & trustworthy are all aware of what I do.

The good thing about my friends knowing is that I asked them to put their thinking caps on, but they still didn't know.

The thing is, and I think they may have forgotten this, is that to 'out me', they would then have to reveal themselves, and obviously discretion is so important to them.

And if I was that way inclined, I could have quite easily set up a false profile that met their requirements to do some further investigation. But I'm not here for that type of fun & games

"I think they're crossing boundaries and whether the OP is happy for people to know he's on here or not, it's his business and nobody else's. I agree with the OP that it sounded like game playing 'we know who you are but not telling you who we are' game which is a bit childish.

Thanks for your thoughts, it does appear that they know nothing about this lifestyle, not that I'm an expert by any means lol

OP - you said that you couldn't 'place' them from their pics as they weren't very clear..??? Did I read that correctly? And they sent other pics which would not have identified them..??

Did they have any veris or were photo verified? If not, there is the possibility that the people in the pics were not 'them' (or more likely .. him/her) and, by chance, the person behind it does know you, but it's NOT the people in the pics.

There are some right weirdos out there... maybe not a good idea to block them so quickly ...... ??

Yes that's right, they mentioned being at my parents house for a NYE party many years ago, they said that we spoke for quite a while, but it was NYE, so I may have had a few

They also named another one of my mates and said that we met once again at his party. So I do genuinely think they are adults believe it or not. They also knew my brother from where he drinks, and my friends from my local pub, so I'm assuming the ages were correct (early 40's if I remember right).

It has been suggested that I should have kept them unblocked in the hope that they would 'come good' or slip up lol I agree - let them dig a very large hole for themselves. Even if 'they' know all this age-related info about you, it still doesn't mean that the people in the pics are the people/person behind the profile, that's what I am getting at, and imho you really need to find out who 'they' really are. The more info on what they know about YOU will slowly form a picture and there will be some little fact they come out with that will identify them... I will practically guarantee that....

I assume that your family don't know you are on here? It's entirely up to you how open you are about your lifestyle, but if you think they could cause problems at home, I would do everything I could to try to find out/work out who they are...

The funny thing is, my brother does know hahaha, as do all my friends. They know I've been single for many years, and that I do this. So the people who are close to me & trustworthy are all aware of what I do.

The good thing about my friends knowing is that I asked them to put their thinking caps on, but they still didn't know.

I'd unblock them and start talking to them again.... you never know what might come out of it......

"

Well they are online now as it happens hahaha

Little hints:

If using your phone switch to the desktop site and you can expand pages/pics.

If they are really concerning you unblock them, hotlist and then block again. You'll see their status updates.

Just remember, they can be doing this too.

Hey thanks for the hints & tips, really appreciate it. Even expanding wouldn't have revealed anything due to the nature of the pics, no faces!

No concern here, but I was just interested in others thoughts on here who have more experience & I thought it would maybe make for an interesting topic. It's been worthwhile posting for me, as I've learnt a few tricks like the ones you mentioned, so thanks for yours & everyone else's input. Genuinely appreciated

Hi Charlie,

I haven't read all the responses but I read your opener twice.

I'm with you. Game playing with you.

I wouldn't be suprised if it is someone else - like your brother or another freind having a joke at your expense.

If they won't be open and say who they are then you did right to block them.

Spend your time meeting those that want to not speaking to those that hide behind their computers for cheap thrills.

There's probably no malice in it and they thought that you'd be more curious about them than you were and their wind up could last a bit longer. Hard luck on them.

Hiya Granny,

Thanks for taking the time to respond and to pass on your great advice. I don't think there was particularly any malice to be perfectly honest, just the game playing.

I did however wish them both well in their search before I hit the block button & didn't leave close with a rant.

Hiya mate, I can see that your genuinely offering me help and assistance here, and I can only thank you for that. I've actually had offers from others to help me find out who they are. But the revealing is not what I'm bothered about honestly. The post was just to gauge others feelings & thoughts about the whole thing & to see what others experiences are. And I wouldn't reveal their profile name to anyone either.

But thank you honestly, ya a good 'un

This is a good point, since the OP is open about his interest in this lifestyle it would be almost irresistable for his brother/friends to want to find him on a site like this, given they know his age, location and he has face pics on his profile he wouldn't be hard to find!

Although they know about my lifestyle, they don't know I'm on this particular site, others yes. I know they could track me down quite easily too. But I'm a hundred percent certain it isn't any of them.

Plus the couple in question joined over a year ago, whereas I've only been here five weeks

I don't meet couples but about 18 mths ago got spkin to a couple who live in my old home town. We were tryin to guess who each other was. We had a laugh when we realised I had grown up with the hubby and he was my boyfriend when we were 10. We met up for drinks and a natter. Have agreed not to tell others we are on here. The week after we met up they came to my dads suprise 70th. Its nice to have trust.

What you are doing on this site is not illegal, it may be socially embarrasing if it gets out, but it is definately not against the law.

They may be playing a game with you or they may be swingers themselves, they could have come accross your profile by accident and are now not sure if you will spill the beans on them. It may be best if you open up a dialogue with them and see where it goes making it plain thats it s MAD (mutually assured destruction)situation if the details of how you came to be chatting gets out to others. After all, they had logged onto their profile on a swingers site too, so they are not lilly white angels either.
