Location lies

Is it okay to lie about your location? We live in a small northern town, we had no idea so many people we know are swingers or cheating on their partners lol.

Kinda freaked out and changed the location, hope this isn't frowned upon. Actually working out very well as we travelled to our supposed area for our 1st meet.......

KENT / SOUTH EAST

Perfectly, just put the general location (County or general North East or South East etc)

My location is never accurate. I move it around to suit but I never use my exact postcode . It's your profile and if you're happy with it and it works for you then great

I change my location all the time. No-one knows where I really am.

Do whatever makes you feel safe.

Yes. Use whichever location settings that will likely work for you. Close enough to be practically useful to not deter the right people but potentially vague or misdirecting enough to retain your privacy. If you contact those who you like, you can inform them of the relevant details when you decide.

Obviously if all people did a large difference between actual and displayed data, it could make things hard here but not encourage you to explore different options, to get the right balance between privacy and success with partner meeting

Turn on or off the Mobile gps settings, if you use mobile too.

Just use a nearby town and postcode. That esy you are still close enough for searches but you can check people on your doorstep. We don't meet anyone too local as it would be too easy to come across us generally in the town due to business interests. When I check who has looked at us but bot contacted I automatically block anyone that I can see immediately live in the same town or surrounding villages.

We would never give our exact location, age or name.

The same rules of internet safety apply to adults as to youngsters.

Brighton - even Hove!

It’s perfectly OK. I don’t live EXACTLY in the BN1 postcode but it’s close enough. There again, so is Edinburgh on a global point of view.

Hi op

If you're up north and have London as a location,people may delete your message,as it would appear you are nowhere near them.

Plus you won't appear in their search if they use location.

As others said,maybe pick somewhere nearish that's larger .No need to specify exactly where you are.

Miss

I move about a lot (and explain that in my profile).

In all fairness, as a single bloke I'll need to steal pics to generate interest in my profile.

Being a little vague does no harm. It help to keep the "I saw you on fab so tracked you down on face book" brigade at bay. It happens....

Do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

If that works for you fine though a bit closer to home may make things more successful long term. I know most go nearest major city.

We havent put our actual location, or our real names, as to do so would make it obvious who we are.

Our location is close enough, and is a place most could find easily, so it works for us.

It's perfectly acceptable to hide your precise location, you never know what nutters there are out there.

Always keep it generic - nearest large town or city.

Google postcode areas too and find one that is close enough but big enough that you could be in a big area

Stay safe !
