Have any of you guys come across people on here that you actually know? Fabswingers is growing by the day and I think its bound to happen? Was it awkward? Or worked out better than you thought?   |

It hasn't happened yet, but I would be more concerned if it would happen in a work environment.
I would personally say nothing either way, public place or office.
Circumstances change and a lot of people also left Fab or used it as a dating site or for parties and not as a life style, not that is anybody's business of my or their private lifestyle.
Some people's jobs can be put at serious risk if word gets around about their sexual behaviour and I don't mean, outrageous behaviour at all! |

I wouldn't even wink. You never know their circumstances. You might have been walking towards your unknowing hubby and he clocked the wink or something. Just walk on by, and if you have to then you can message later and say hi.
I spotted a female employee here, and have also seen folk I recognise in shops and restaurants. Never been talked about and never been an issue. |

A couple of weeks ago a female fabber came down a set of stairs in work and didnt recogise me for a second
When she realised who I was we said hello, hugged then moved on....it doesn't have to be a big deal if you have met at socials or had a coffee
If I saw someone off fab that I'd never had an interaction with Id say nothing and move on with my business and leave them to it |

"Yes lots of times, or I've had people come into the store I worked at and used my fab name, no clue who they were"
Always thought you were the keeper of secrets in that job
I remember placing an order over the phone with you giving my real name and credit card details and you sending the gift to a fabber and me not knowing her real name or address |

Scarlett recognised a couple of lads from a local sports group they were all in together. She also recognised a couple from other sporting class. Nothing was said and we just blocked after we realised it. They have never said anything or acted any differently.
We were recognised by a friend of Scarlett’s that she has know a decade. Was acknowledged and laughed about but then moved on. |

I have done , I don't see the big deal. I respect their position and privacy and hope its returned if not I deal with it in a way that works for me
Maturity and appreciation go a long way ... |

Yes, I found out I was going to meet a lady I worked with every day. Her husband had arranged the meet. As soon as I had realised, I called the meet off in order to avoid an embarrassment. |

"I know a guy in real but we share so many kinks together. .he wants to neet he diesnt know we are connected in real life should I do it or stay clear "
Why not tell him that you know him and ask him does he know you
He might have also recognised you
Can you afford to lose the friendship if it doesn't work out |

There are two couples from our small rural town on here who have public face pics on their profiles.
Also a married man in his sixties who has a single profile claiming to be mid 40s using an old face pic as his public pic, what's worse is he is a friend of the family lol |

"Seen a few I know … kept it to myself … discretion is part of this lifestyle… right …??"
Exactly, discretion is key. I think the one or two newspapers that latched on to it as something shocking in the past certainly hasn't helped. Wake up Ireland, swing as a lifestyle is here to stay. We've done so well as a nation in nearly everything else. Let's not be prudes now. |

I recognized my neighbour. His girlfriend (who I would consider a friend) was heavily pregnant at the time.
I’m finding a lot of people message me pretending to recognize me. I don’t care to be honest.
One guy I do know in real life did know me, but it’s cool. It’s nice to have someone to message and talk about the madness |

Happened to me on a social event years ago . New to socials one couple generously offered to meet me at a bar before the event . When we met the MR of the couple and I instantly recognised me as a friend. We said hey been a while . Then went over to the event . Had a great catchup few drinks .
Never mentioned it to any of our mutual friends . |

One of our neighbours is one here with a facepic up, I just blocked him when I came across the profile. None of my business what he's doing and our activities are none of his. |

Ireland is such a small place that your bound to meet someone you know or someone who knows someone that you know at some stage. Happened to me a few times. Luckily most people are respectful and discreet (and there is the mutual let's avoid this situation) but there is always the odd balls who are out to make trouble. TBH, for work reasons that's the main reason I avoid socials in Ireland now.
It's often hard to find trusting like minded people |

Not an experience I've had directly, but I remember one incident very well - I was hosting a small party and one of the single blokes (whom I happened to know was a police officer) copped off with a rather gorgeous young woman. About ten minutes after taking her upstairs he returned, looking very embarrassed - it had turned out that the woman was the wife of his commanding officer, and the effect of finding that out was like instant anti-viagra for him. |

A few time. Most are ok and we agree to block one another to avoid it being weird. One knew Dee from around the town and got super creepy and demanding. Quickly blocked |

I have ..but no drama we are all here for the same leisure and pleasure.
But ....if someone weaponises your familiarity to use it against you or someone else to "out " them ...well that's just a sinister and bogus act |

I met a couple at an event last month, who work in the same industry and are a client of mine. And I’d consider them both friends
Had a good laugh about it, nothing too serious.
Neither of us would bring it up in real life.
Respect and discretion for one’s lifestyle choices are of paramount importance.
And actually nobody else’s business anyway. |

My brother  turns out he'd uploaded a few new pics one night and mistakenly made a new face pic public without realising, I took a screen shot and messaged him on messenger, told him a close friend of mine who knows our family is on here and spotted it and gave me the heads up with the screen shot.
The photo and the profile soon disappeared. He was well verified too so got about the dirty dog lol.
Both here were in complete shock, we still laugh about it. And he's not brought it up once since I messaged him so no harm done.

Met someone in Mullingar recently.
There was a bit of an awkward moment til
I told her I only recognised her from her ass. Lol
We had a laugh about it and went about or business.
No spark between us but we still chat on here and stay updated on the specials in the shop we were in 
I don't see the issue of meeting another fabber somewhere. It's a lifestyle choice that we make and it doesn't harm anyone so why would it be akward to BP into another fabber? |

I'm curious how you recognised her ass.....lol
I chatted with a guy last year who said they recognised me and whilst he looked a bit familiar I couldn't place him. I just said: I'm single and returning to dating so no harm being done, if he spots me about say hi, and that was that  All very mature and respectful.
It's the risk of people putting a grubby spin on private things for their own entertainment or twisted game. Having a sex life is still a dirty thing to so many. And how very dare you to be seeking what pleases you when others make do with birthdays and Christmas with the lights off  |

Ahhhhh.... makes more sense than my notion of her being bent over picking up an upsidedown pineapple off the shop floor and a lightbulb going off over your head |

Stayed in Belfast Hotel one Saturday evening. After a few drinks we put a meet up and had a few offers. So I picked one guy who lived in Belfast and thought he would be a stranger.
Arranged to meet at the bar.
I told him were would be sitting and what I was wearing. By then I was so excited of the thought of playing When he walked in and came to were we where we both had that shocked and embarrassed look. It was a guy we knew from home that had moved to the city a few years ago.
He sat down and we had that awkward chat. We agreed it was nsa fun.
He spent the night and stayed for breakfast, |
