Manchester

The other day, (and not a large city centre a night there were lots of people within a mile, 3 within 1/4 of a mile. Do you ever think it would be interesting who would be within 10" / 20"? I am not suggesting approaching people who are near physically but by PM, why not?

When I'm at home, there are 3 separate accounts within touching distance, a couple and 2 single males. It's been consistent for a long time, I'd love to know who they/you are!.....

I had a couple of occasions in the summer at the nudey beach where people has looked at who's near and sauntered over to say hello. Not having face pics is no guarantee of anonymity at a nudist beach apparently

This would be great but that kind of accuracy would have to be optional there's some occasions you don't want it

The

Was in a hotel once when the who's near showed a single girl within 1/4 mile. Made contact...she was having a bloke over in the hotel later so went out for a smoke and she waved at my window (guy was already onroute) and then she went off to meet him. Not my style to try meet like that though...but was exciting.

"Seems quite a few within quarter mile of us, but mostly single guys."

Spotted you guys (on the fab-dar) as being close (I was in Bristol Temple Meads) - thought about pm'ing but guessed if you were looking for single guys at that time you'd have said so in your status (when my location is switched on and I'm looking to meet, I normally put something in my status as well).

Still, it was very exciting for me to think that you guys could even be very close to me.

We were in Budapest last week and I was messing about with my new phone and found this option.

There was a really cute couple apparently nearby and they kept looking at our profile.

Had I discovered this option at the beginning of the holiday rather than the end then maybe we could have sorted something.

On the flip side we also got a heap of messages from 2 single guys in Budapest who also realised we were nearby. They just would not accept a polite no thanks. Eventually their perseverance won them each a fuck off message and a block.

Given the ratio of guys to women and couples, it's no surprise that a lot only get single guys showing in their Who's Near.

You Dont Need to Know, right now

" Do you ever think it would be interesting who would be within 10" / 20"? "

You really want to know whether someone who is ten INCHES away from you is a Fabster? That'll be your family or the guy standing next to you at the bar. Or your dog.

I still don't understand why those that meet your preferences do not take priority over those that are closest

Otherwise; it's not something I use often.

Certainly I have been back and will continue to. As I told you before sometimes 'real life' gets in the way. My daughter, her life, happiness and the fact I will always look out for her when I can will take precedence over swinging.

Errr you realise it can be as accurate as any other gps system.

Inagine how useless satnav would be with 1/4 mile accuracy.

Fortunatly the site caps it at a limit that makes it fairly safe
