What is the point on being on here if your profile is hidden. Have had a few people look at me but when i go to look at them it's hidden. Sounds bizarre to me

Maybe it means that they can make the initial contact?

I'm guessing they looked and didn't fancy meeting you and being hidden means you can't question them for not contacting you.

They maybe having a break,ill or too busy to meet. What do you suggest - they leave the site and lose their verifications/site supporter status? Why is it bizarre?

Message them and ask. I think it's more bizarre to be concerned about how others run their profiles.

There's a few profiles where their only verification is a hidden profile. The hidden profile is definitely fake and the open one may be too

It means I'm not currently looking to meet anyone. Hiding my profile means I don't show in searches.

Also it is a tool the site has provided so I am free to use it.

There are numerous reasons why people hide their profiles.

Does it really matter? There are plenty of profiles which are on display, in fact we do believe there are thousands.

That's odd to assume that a hidden profile is fake. People hide profiles for many reasons, doesn't mean they are fake.

We think this should be banned.

If you have to hide completely so leaving us with nothing to go on they why bother.

Just so you can have a perv without the others knowing.....sad

I agree. I think the ability to send and receive messages should be disabled when you hide your profile although I think they should still be able to view a profile as some might like to browse without being pestered.

I would rather be hidden and left to my own devices to seek suitors myself, then being bombarded by 1000 messages from ‘heavycumer2017’ and ‘jonnybigcock69’ every day

I’m not real obviously because I’m hidden.

I’m hidden because I’m sick of the crap that comes with being unhidden. Too many fake couples (men) and I get angry and then get a slapped wrist

So I’ve hidden myself to stop the crap for a day if that’s ok with you?

No, Admin can temporarily suspend a profile they don't hide them, it is the account holder that can hide their profile.

Why does it matter what other people do?

If they want to hide their profile it has zero effect on anyone else.

Message them and ask. They may have genuinely forgotten to unhide. Some on here, like me, hide now and again. They may have just forgotten to change it.

It's an easy answer OP - it's so we can browse in peace and not be bombarded with mail! I like to look (and yack) in the forum, but as soon as my profile is visible, it is non-stop mail - and it gets tiresome after a while. It's no more sinister than that

My couples profile (KinkySlinky) is hidden as my partner doesn't want to swing at present. We haven't deleted it in case he changes his mind in the future. We have 200 verifications and it would be a shame for all those people to lose our verifications if we deleted it.

We joined & stayed hidden for about a month, just wanted to see what it was that was going on, check the locals out, read club reviews & got our profile sorted so we were happy with it.

But we didn't message anyone until we were unhidden & we never have answered faceless profiles even of they send private pics. We now have these along with newbies blocked as we can't be arsed with all the messers & fly by nights.
