"You mean on profile pic , profile of being sent ?on profile or in the public view album." Also, people have been hassled in public for being on Fab - particularly women. Maybe I want a flat white or constipation medication without someone asking me about my last gangbang? | |||

"I'm in, but I wouldn't want my family to find out, or for my reputation in the vanilla community to take a hit. (My sex life has nothing to do with my voluntary work, but many don't see things that way)" but do you share a face pic before your meeting? | |||

It's not a guarantee, though - and you seem to be saying that people should have public pictures up to be real. | |||

"Interesting insight here. And I do understand why people don't provide for personal reasons... what I'm trying to get is...if you don't share public. At what point do you show your face....I'm getting to a point now. Why meet for coffee. I can get that at home. Without getting ready." I meet for coffee to get a feel for someone under circumstances where I'm less vulnerable. I'd rather figure out someone is a bunny boiler in daylight in a cafe/pub with lots of people and exits, not naked in a bedroom. If it's all the same | |||

"I'm in, but I wouldn't want my family to find out, or for my reputation in the vanilla community to take a hit. (My sex life has nothing to do with my voluntary work, but many don't see things that way)" Exactly this (except not voluntary work but meeting with other consultants, barristers and clients who may take a different view to working with me in the future). | |||

"I use to have public face pics but removed them due to the amount of messages I get from optimistic people that are close by , or pic collectors , if they actually managed to read the sarcastic profile they would know I only do club meets" It's bad enough to have people message that I'm "always on who's nearby" let alone without face pictures. (Obviously that feature is now off, but that's why it's off) | |||

"When I had to out myself to my boss so thr obsessive fucker on here couldn't hold that threat over me, my boss said if I keep my face and actual name off then HR can't even think about touching me. So if that makes me a time waster, at least I'm an employed one " Yep. I was outed to the company I worked for over a decade ago. Global blue chip multi-national and I had a reputational disrepute clause in my contract so could have been a major issue and guaranteed dismissal. Fortunately I'm not daft. Never had any photos identifying me on here and any face pic we've ever sent has been fully clothed and 100% vanilla, but not one we've used elsewhere on social media to stop fuckwits reverse image searching it to try and find us on Facey. It's honestly not hard to separate Fab life from real life if you're sensible and yet still manage to engage with others. A | |||

"I must be a time waster then cos I have no public face pic" Same here. It's easy for a man to have a face pic on show. Nobody would call him a "slut", "whore" or other colourful names just because he chooses to enjoy his sex life. It's very different for women. Also, I don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry to know how I look like. | |||

People's private life and work life are two different things. People could be doing the same stuff and not be on here! | |||

"There are others who have nothing on there profile (which is absolutely fair enough btw) but insist you have one on your profile or send them one in your 1st message.. then point blank refuse to send one back either… that’s a bit weird.." There just there to collect pictures, they have absolutely no intention of a physical meet | |||

"So I am begining to see a pattern here. All the meets I've been let down on ( only just realised) don't show any face pics. I get some like to stay incognito to a point but people have to make a choice. If your in your in. We are all here for the same reasons so nobody ( I would like to think) would out anyone they recognise. Has anyone else seen this pattern? Could just be I'm old and ugly lol " It's my choice. If someone doesn't like that, then tough. | |||

"I don't have face pics on my profile, not even on friends only. I also don't tend to send them to someone I'm chatting with, even if they ask. If we are arranging to meet then yes I usually do, not always tho. I've had meets where neither of us have swapped face pics beforehand. Like to think I aren't a time waster tho. I'll either delete or not reply if not interested. If we are chatting and I doubt we will meet I'll say, some happy to chat still whilst others disappear x" I am exactly the same. | |||

Don't engage with blank profiles. Simple. Why anyone would message someone when they have no idea what they look like (even from the neck down) is beyond me. The odds on finding attraction are small enough when photos are available, let alone when you're playing blind date. A | |||

Doesn't work like that. I used to work with high net worth clients and companies that made the business lots of money. Some of those people and entities would have looked down on swinging as a lifestyle choice and by association (had they known about my choices) the company I worked for, potentially losing them business and custom. Similarly I've know people working in education who would have been hounded out by angry parent. So just because you're doing nothing wrong it doesn't mean that others see it that way. You can't control the views of others and it is perfectly possible to lose your job should you be outed, despite what many will claim. A | |||

I'm self employed and work from home, so it's never been a huge issue for me, but it's an implicit threat" This one knew exactly where I worked and my bosses name. I don't give a shit about someone just trying to threaten me when they have nothing actually on me. Unfortunately, while I'm not in direct contact with any of our clients, we do make our money from the sort of people who would be absolutely appalled by how I choose to spend my free time. So I do what I need to to stay on the right side of HR. So, I don't send face pics unless I'm absolutely comfortable to do so. If that's a deal breaker for someone, it's a simple incompatibility and we can both just move on. Since I pretty much exclusively meet new people at clubs these days it's not shown to be an issue for me. | |||

"You mean on profile pic , profile of being sent ?on profile or in the public view album." That's me...total time waster... If that's your criteria, then by all means use it to choose who you meet...don't tar everyone with the same brush...everyone runs their profiles in the way they wish to for their own reasons... | |||

"I don't share face pictures for personal reasons. I tend to prefer a very quick social meet first (and when I am meeting it's mostly in clubs tbh). I've been messed around by those with and those without pictures. People are people and they flake or get cold feet, or they get off on the build-up but not the actual meeting - it happens, I don't think you can get worked up about it nor do I think things like pictures or verifications are a good way to tell. " 100% agree | |||
