So I’m strolling up the road (as I type this) going to my local shop and I thought I’d see “who’s near”
Quite a few people apparently. I couldn’t help but wonder how many fabbers I walk past day to day, pretty sure they’d never recognised me as I trotted along in my joggers and trainers looking as far from a sexually deviant goddess as possible!
Has anyone ever been recognised from their fab photos or been sooo sure they spotted someone from fab?

I haven’t been recognised... but I recognised someone I was chatting to on here from pictures once while in Hollywood bowl... he was with his wife and kid which he forgot to mention 
I didn't say anything and he shit himself when I sent him a message asking how bowling went.
It wasn’t even him who caught my attention in the first place. It was his wife, she had really long lovely hair that I was admiring and then I glanced over and noticed him with her |

Haha that’s great!
I do worry sometimes that I’ll be chatting away to someone and it turns out to be someone from work or a customer or something like that  |

"It would not bother me if I was I am who I am "
Oh it doesn’t bother me. I’m pretty open about who I am. It’s more that I think I’d feel weird if someone recognised me and I didn’t them.
Like they’re a step ahead. I think it’s a ‘not being in control’ thing..... |

Yes I try that. Although I had an hour on the chat last night and decided to show my face on cam. Got chatting to someone and they put theirs on.
I realised I hadn’t pre vetted them and for a few seconds just prayed a colleagues face didn’t appear on the screen  |

No, as long as I’m not with my kids then I would have no issues with being recognised.
Although I have been recognised in socials. |

Yes I’d be annoyed by that! Would still unnerve me a little knowing they saw me I didn’t see them kind of thing. But I think I’m just a control freak haha |

Hopefully less chance of someone approaching you when you’re with the kids though. A bit of child shaped armour!! |

We were having lunch in a pub once when we recognised one of the barman as someone we had previously met . He was very professional brought us over a couple of drinks and arranged another meet  |

Yeah I get recognised all the time... Probs at least once a week... I often get messages on here like thanks for your help last week was quite a shock walking in to abc and recognising you from here, didn't want to say anything at the time incase it made you uncomfortable...
I don't really care at this point about being recognised, we're all adults and all here for similar reasons |

Haha now that’s not a bad case of being recognised. In fact that sounds pretty hot! |

Just took a moment to check out your profile! Yes you’re definitely recognisable!  |

I see Fabbers all the time. At the gym, on the school run, at the village fete, shopping, at work...
I don't approach them, and the nature of where I work means I couldn't contact them anyway.
I don't believe I've been recognised. At least, I've never been approached. |

"Yes I've been recognised many times. Had people looking and then got messages saying they saw me out with hubby/friends. 
Ah see that would drive me mad I think! "
it is a bit intimidating really. Xx |

Did recognise a Fabber in the supermarket once. Not sure if she recognised me but our eyes met, she looked a little worried and we went out separate ways!
Have also noticed a few previous play friends in town, naturally walked past with all but the slightest of nods. Discretion is everything. |

I couldn’t care less about being recognised except I wouldn’t want my son being teased in school if it somehow impacted him, hence best to remain hidden for now.
I’m actually looking forward to it. Would be a good conversation starter. |

It’s the opposite for me. I think “she likes me and is trying to catch my eye” then come down with a thump as I wonder if it’s only because she’s wondering if I’m from Fab.  |

Ah yes that has to be a bit of a pain. I’ve never had it happen to me. Although I’ve done a lot of freaking people out with staring while waiting for a fab meet that never turned up! |

I don’t think I’ve been recognised … but have seen a few familiar faces. One who was in the paper for doing something really good and community minded, one on a local amateur sports team and one working in a supermarket!
I guess it could go one of two ways - ignore and pass by, or turn into something interesting |

Don't think we've been recognised, certainly no one has said.
We have recognised a couple of people from here.
Tbh we'd quite like it if someone knows us to get in touch as it would do away with the awkward first meet to see if we get on. |

Hmm....perhaps I’ll chance it next time a woman is staring whilst waiting. She may be waiting for a meet that never turned up and needs some ‘consoling.’ |

I have been recognised and I’ve recognised others.
I don’t do or say anything though, it’s not a surprise when people on here have lives away from the site.
I’d hate to be approached though, this is just a small part of my life

No thank goodness. I never show any photos that I would be recognised by. I have recognised people on sharing face pics before though. A lady I know from school’s husband and a teaching assistant at my daughter’s school. |

We get recognised quite a bit on here we blur faces but tbh between the Wife and her her unique hair colour and tattoos it doesn't take a genius to work out lol. Only reason we dont include face pics is so they dont get posted elsewhere or saved for any reason... we dont really care who finds out about our lifestyle a few close friends already know and i few of my mates from work has stumbled across us . No big deal for us but understand people that keep it more private |

We actually had that with a close friend, sending a message about our profile on messenger but not having the decency to show theirs. We have no problem with them seeing us but if you're going to comment at least let us know your profile so we can perve back. |

I'm not sure why that would be a problem. Surely if that person saw you, and you saw them, you'd be in the same position. They'd know you go on Fab and vice versa. So long as they keep it discreet, It wouldn't be a problem at all in my opinion. |

A guy who messaged me several times, who lives close by I passed him in our local supermarket. I’m guessing he wouldn’t have found me as sexy when I’m in Male mode looking like I’d just crawled out of bed, buying bread and jam. |

It’s not a problem as such. It’s just the shock of it. Imagine if Dave in maintenance were on here...... |

Haha this is it. I have quite distinguishable tattoos and other features but when I’m in doss mode I don’t think anyone would stand a chance of recognising me |

I had a slightly disturbing experience when a man I had been chatting to (no face pic) told me I looked good when I was walking through town one day & how he's always fancied me. It took me ages to get out of him who he was..it was an ex (married) colleague  |

I joined a new gym and one of the girls in there had a very distinctive hair colour, I couldn’t help but think I knew her from somewhere.
Later that evening, I saw that same colour on fab. Procrastined for a while as I didn’t want to intrude on her space - even put a vague status update up about if I should ask I think?
Thought sod it, and sent her a message. She replied and laughed, she had been about to do the same!!
I’m not her type so nothing has happened, but she knows I perve at her and I know she likes it |

I don't think anyone would recognise me from my public photos, but if you do, please let me know!
I wonder if my two locations (Barry / Alicante) would be enough to tip the balance if somebody wasn't sure?

I don't think I've been spotted but I have seen a friend on here. I recognised her tattoos in her fab photos, I haven't mentioned anything to her but I must admit I look at her differently now I've seen the fab naked pics.

 That is horrifying
I don't care who recognises me - just as long as it isn't family.
I don't want to be approached either because that's creepy  |

"I've recognised someone from here at the school gate, she'd hidden her face on here but not her wrist tattoo or her statuses about being pregnant lol"
see i find that level of attention to detail a bit creepy to be honest ... who recognises someone (at a school gate so not someone you know intimately) from a wrist tattoo
ive had people message that they recognise me because they know the background to my photos (ie my bedroom) from my dating profile photos - again just a bit too much attention being paid there , but at least it opened my eyes to being aware you are never really anonymous online |
