FabSwingers.com forum: Kik or number!

By (user no longer on site) OP

What does everyone think of using kik or giving out phone number! I have personally found that kik is a pain and most fellas I have met having only chatted on there have been let downs. I admire someone who gives out their number and I will too And am much happier with this form!

Kik just tends to be pic collectors and half the time I can't remember who it is I am chatting to!

Kik or number? What's best or what does anyone else prefer? xx

Until a successful social, neither.

The fab messaging service is fine for me. NO need to share other details until I feel confident I wish them to have my number.

I only use kik occasionally.

I don't tend to meet socially.

I only give my number out after a meet to trusted playmates as have had bad experiences in the past.

Happy to use kik but lots of people as said above are pic collectors

I have used both and found there are definitely less time wasters that give out their numbers. On Kik you can quite often get people who just want some dirty chat and pics then disappear and never really want a meet to materialise

If I like someone enough to want to talk off site then I'll exchange numbers,I've not had any real issues with doing this in 7 years

I don't give my number out often but it's amazing how quickly people want to get you chatting off site and onto kik,It seems to be almost the first thing that asked in messages now

Yes that's what I find too and it tends to be the attached fellas. I actually find it incredibly annoying. A lot of couples are the same and I find the prolonged chat on Kik a bit of a turn off

I see it as a way of trying to get quick and easy wank fodder while remaining anonymous behind an app,I had it for about a week once and then I binned it

We prefer kik as we're just a bit unsure about giving our phone numbers out to different people...don't mind phones once we've met etc though

I'd prefer to use kik. But so far have only communicated with fantasists on there. If I'm going to be meeting up with someone. I'm fine with giving them my number. Most mobiles have a block function on them if needed!

We have the 'fab' phone. Cheap android phone pay as you go sim. Change the sim every six months or so to get rid of those who never actually meet or the stalker types and the best part as it's not a personal phone we just turn it off and throw it in a drawer when we want to. Have WhatsApp and kik on it.

I think the benefit of kik is if you are off site you don't have to constantly open the app if you are awaiting a message you get the ping to your device and open it,I think when the site has a fully working message notification then for fabbers kik will be a bit obsolete

We have kik but never really needed it ...... We message until ready to meet then swap numbers and always speak to both parties beforehand..... You can buy a cheap £10 phone from Tesco's which has £10 credit on so effectively free which couples use as a swinging phone

This too. Unless I have spoken with them and they have met people I know then I may give them my number. I've never had kik and never intend to, just like I'll never have 2 phones because of this, or 2 Facebook accounts. Too much effort that

Kik or number? What's best or what does anyone else prefer? xx"

So what I get people to do is tell me their username when they start chatting to me. Then I can just scroll to the top anytime I forget who they are and see which profile and sit they correspond with.

I won't give out my number to people. I used to, but then I just get pestered with texts all the time. Since my phone *number* is primarily for business (I'm a freelancer and my friends and family generally contact me online) then it becomes a hassle when I'm trying to work to have random people calling or texting me. Also Kik is free, and I'm on tariff with limited texts and calls. I'm not going to waste my money on sending 'I'm not interested' messages.

Once I've chatted to someone for a while I tend to ask them if they want to move to Telegram which *does* use a phone number. But it means I can type messages to them on my computer as well as on my phone. It's much, much better - just a shame it needs a phone number.

Oh and I forgot to say - I find Kik MUCH better than the messaging system here, so I always ask for Kik addresses very quickly. It means I can keep a record of everything I've said to them, which this site doesn't have.

I prefer to keep it to chatting on here. If it goes to chat on what'sap etc I can almost guarantee I will get bored or decide not to meet.

for me after chatting via text for a while number is the first real way of gauging a persons personality ,so a telephone call is an important next move not bothered about kik its same as here really x

Kik is great for breaking the ice and building up a rapor and trust; once the trust is there then I'm happy to swop pictures.

I will exchange phone numberswith people that I've chatted to (either on fab or kik) if I'm going to meet them or if we both fancy a sexy chat.

But I can't kik or phone indefinitely; there needs to be a meet sooner or later.

sorry how does kik allow you to build trust anymore than being on fab they are the same idioms ,a phone call allows a judgement on conversational flow ,humour etc the meet and subsequent meets you may gain trust

It works for me; its a steppingstone to getting to know someone.

Agreed, its only text and as 90% of conversation is unspoken then you can't workout everything about them but, as many previous threads on this subject have suggested, there are way of establishing if someone is who they say that are; once that's done, you can start to build a rapor and exchange information and pictures; for me this builds up trust - I don't want pictures (some are a little naughty) of me be sent all over the place and, the other person is starting to trust me as (I should image), that they don't want their images all over the internet either.

It could be argue that in terms of building up trust, Kik does this better that a phone call.

I prefer to use the phone, although I appreciate not everyone does. If asked, prior to meeting then I am more than happy to give it out. But not to someone I am unlikely to meet.

I do use kik, but only have a couple of names on there and those are people I have already met.

I think a text is perhaps more useful when arranging a meet as you can keep updated if you have bad internet reception.

Mrs gives out her kik (had stalkers).But I give mine out prior to a meet that way it usually sorts out the dreamers, learnt not too send any pics, Well actually if they start asking then we strike them off as in our experience genuine guys want the real thing (we have face pics on here)

We prefer chatting on kik as if we really want to get to know a couple we find it quicker than having to log on to the Internet all the time . We don't give out phone numbers tho unless we have arranged a meet and need it as back up

Number.... Hate kik etc has they tend to let other people you have given your 'kik' to when you were last chatting etc.

At the end of the day we are all adults here and with phone tech the way it is, if there was a problem after chatting the just block the caller and move on.

If you're having a conversation with someone KIK or whatsapp is more convenient as it keeps the messages from one sender in one place whereas on here they're spread out

From what some women have said on here to me with the number of messages they receive its hard to keep track of a conversation on here hence why they like to chat on other areas after initial contact here

I used kik to arrange a social meet its handy as the kik icon come up when a new message comes in. It's very quick to replying on the day. But I can see why other people don't like it.

I had someone ring me up all hours after giving it out.

Won't do it again until I 100% trust someone.

I always ring out then delete the number and would only ring when asked to on here.

I usually chat via the mail on here then move on to kik when we've built up a rapport as that platform is so much better for actual chat. I chat to several people on there and its much easier. Once I've met then id probably swap numbers etc.

Kik, number, Skype - happy to exchange anything that enables dialogue. Have yet to have anyone abuse it when I let them have phone number. No doubt it'll happen at some point but until then, let's chat!
