Oh… It’s You/them!

Was looking for something earlier and I was reminded of this… and couldn’t see a thread on it, so thought I’d set one up here, just for the hell of it.

So, what do you do when you recognise someone in the scene from ‘real life’ on here, or when they recognise you? Could be a friend, or a relative, or I dunno, your optician, or your neighbour. Obviously, it’ll depend on the people, and the circumstances in which you recognise them (on a site, at a club, at a party… seeing them being fucked in the bedroom at a party is going to be different, say, from merely recognising a picture on a profile.)

What made me think of it was the attached, which I’ve merely repeated from another post, months ago.

—————————————————————

Think I mentioned before, when i was on Another Site, I discovered someone-I-know’s profile. And, by my looking at theirs, they discovered mine.

Neither of us quite knew what to say. Fortunately, we were both at a party a few days later. We went out for a chat, and I left it entirely and wholly ‘up to her’; we could acknowledge it, and chat about it, and talk about our individual experiences... or just pretend we didn’t know each other was on the site and in the scene. (Should stress that I very, very much was not who she was looking for, on the site - age, body type, sexual preferences - and vice versa.)

She said she’d prefer the latter, so we each left each other a verification on the site saying how lovely the other was, and for people not to pass them up... and then we consciously never referred to it again to each other.

—————————————————————

There’s also been a situation where I’ve recognised from a non-face photo, from a tattoo and the background, the sister and brother in law of a close friend. Again, they’re really not looking for someone like me, so I’ve never told them I know, and as far as I know, they’re not aware of me in the scene.

What about you?

Okay so here's my personal take on this and yes, I recall your post previously...
I've been at the point where I'm very paranoid about what could potentially be. Have also been at the point where I am scared, we are, of what could be.
Have met many people we know within the circles, but maybe don't know who we are and what we do.
But now that things over time have changed, I am (me personally) more of the opinion that - well if they're there for the same reasons you are, then there's nothing to worry about.
They're there for exactly the same reasons you are.
For me, it's an awkwardness that isn't something that needs to happen and soon phases out. Almost like going to the same wine bar for the same wine(s).
Many people do worry about this, rightly so, but in essence, there's nothing to really worry about or consider. (y)

Unless of course they match your criteria and you theirs. :whistle:

Think that’s very true, if you’re both honest and open.

One possible complication just occurred to me… if they’re part of the scene as a single person, but they’re part of a couple ‘in real life’, and you have no idea whether or not their partner knows…

Deception. Lies. The downfall of everyone.
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.

There is a guy Lew and I both work with who is on the scene who is a sleaze and completely disrespectful about women he meets including showing pictures of said women and going into graphic detail about his antics. He doesn't know we are on the scene so we are extremely careful about where we go locally. He would think nothing of outing us...x

Makes perfect sense. I’ve been lucky enough to rarely come across few horrible people in the scene, and no one I know in the respect.

Ouch. Yes I’d steer well clear too. X

Hmm we do know a few...

I'm not really bothered what others think to be honest. I'd probably sit and have a natter if I recognised somebody on site or at a club that I knew.
The only thing that worries me is if my kids stumble across the site.

With other kind-of-related threads recently started, figured it was worth bumping this one for newer members…
