FabSwingers.com forum: Private notes on profiles

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

I do use the Private Note function on some profiles, mainly to jog my memory about a profile.

I have comments like:

“swapped fun emails about status”

“Very funny forum posts”

Does anyone else do this or is it just me and my very mild OCD/organisational preferences?

That is exactly it - it is almost like giving them a name badge and a quick description on thier profile.

Unless I am missing something then yes, I was wondering how many other people use them.

Never used it, probably spend too much time on here anyway without compiling notes on people as well.

I use it a lot, helps me remember past conversations and reasons for not continuing a conversation when the re-message. Saves a lot of time.

I put notes on the people I've blocked to remind me why I've blocked them.

That doesn't make any sense... you can't see them when you've blocked them!

I use it for names. To jog my memory about what we’ve talked about and, if I’ve had sex with them, I note how it was and whether I’d do it again.

Notes include:

“Aaaaaaaagh do not fancy him at all”

“Pushy - AVOID”

“Patronising fucker”

“Mind blowing sex”

“Kinky but far away - one for the future”

“So hot but he doesn’t fancy me goddamnit”

“Said something weird about bisexual men. Be cautious”

“Such a sweet guy. V v fancy him”

Etc

Yes you can, if you go to your block list you can still access the notes from the top menu

Serious question. Why would anyone waste time looking at reasons why they've blocked someone?

Dunno....maybe if you've been on here a while and blocked someone ages ago but see funny or smart forum posts and think "hmmmm....maybe they're not a fanny after all?"

Mr adds our notes. I'd get a lifetime ban if I posted any of his comments

I use them especially when they don't have many public pics. I think most of my notes just say 'No', that's all I need to know!! A couple say '2 profiles' with the name of the second profile. Dodgy buggers!!

If you can’t remember having sex with them, they’re probably not worthy of another meet.

I have a good memory so don't really need to make notes on people but if I did I wouldn't keep them on the site its just a little sinister if you stand back and look at it and this facility.

Are you saying you think physical notes are sinister but mental ones aren't?

Exactly what I do. I also use notes if there's someone who I'd like to meet after chatting with them.

Do you write notes on all your neighbours, work colleges?

Most of my notes read "messaged, read deleted"

I don't want to block, they may change their mind. But I don't want to email again and pester them.

People change user names and profile pics, so notes are useful. Unless they go unlos and re-join.

I don't think anyone would need to do that, they aren't strangers on the internet that you might be thinking about meeting up with.

I don't get why you think it's sinister but each to their own!!

Lcolleges?

I'm even more baffled now! What is sinister about making private notes about people you loosely know?

We use them to remind us if we said no thanks and the date when. Also for any other reminders if it's on and off chat as I don't like to keep too many messages in the inbox.

I use them a lot, usually to note if I've turned someone down and why, or if they've posted something in a status or on forum that makes me wary of them.

Yes you can. They appear in your blocked list. Then select the options and notes come up. I use it in that manner I don't need to make notes for any others. I've a few friends but I know them well, I've a few meets and probably know them even better as they're never one off meets.

Yes I copy the random copy paste messages with a date makes me laugh when they forget sending the same thing each month .

Notes also remind me what I like or dislike including links to certain threads posted .

I use them to make a note when they have left a status update I’m not impressed with, generally says ‘idiot avoid’ or similar or if they’ve messaged the same copy and paste crap several times.
