After I stopped responding to someone's Whatsapp message - he was on here - he used my number to find me on Facebook to pester me on there instead. Nowadays I'm super picky about who gets my number.  |

I have one phone. I don't need people I only meet for sex to be contacting me on it when they're horny or whatever. It's not about bad things happening, it's about not wanting to have to deal with all of that, including inevitable fakes, on something as personal to me as my phone.
If I think you're my friend, you get my number. That's it really. |

I have given out my number in the past but I won't now, as I only have one phone..
true if they get a bit stalkerish then you can block them but I'd rather not take that risk, thanks |

I don't really like using other platforms to chat with people from fab, I come on to fab when I have time and want to respond or interact with all things fab related, away from fab I find it just infringes on my time when others message because they are horny or bored. |

"pester pester pester, need to block them."
That was kinda what I meant. New mobiles have the software to block nuicance numbers.
The point was more is it just sold to a ppi firm, or could it all go a little 'enemy of the state' with hacking and such? |

ive a mix of men, women, couples.. but yeah its all mutual respect and understanding that facebook life is just an extention to the rest of my life. Ive never seen fab as a 'secret' or seperate part.. im the same person.. but on facebook etc its more family/social based for me |

whose gonna go to all that effort for like 0.000000000000000000000001p though? PPI claims will buy whole lists for fuck all and wouldn't be interested in one number on it's own.
best way to get rid of them is when they've said 'we heard YOU blah blah whatever shit they are calling for', just reply by asking them what's my name then. they hang up. |

I only give out KiK and that's very rare. Only so many times you can get woken at 3am asking if you're asleep before something gives. And it's not my knicker elastic. |

Yes although phone number has never really come up with anyone else.
But it is much more guarded after a 'stop texting my bird' call from someone I was told was the ex at 6.30 in the morning |

Check out past threads where the person wonders why they have been stalked via phone / social media or the ones being abused by wife of 'single' man.

Get a dual sim phone, so the number you give is a potential burner number.
Unwanted calls, calls and abuse from his missus etc. Ignored or the number is trashed.
I'm selective though someone called me a whore, amongst other things this year. |

"Interestingly, if I aim to meet someone and they will only give me their kik, I assume that they have something to hide/are fake and act accordingly. "
This, absolutely! |

I have only given my number out to one person through Fab, and that was way after we met. It's a funny thing privacy, things like Kik allow you to keep a distance from people and help you feel secure, but I totally get why it can seem like hiding or fake.
I always use Kik, mainly for the reasons others have listed, to avoid d*unk calls and pestering. |

People who refuse to give mobile numbers after a meet has been arranged are usually timewasters I have found.
All the usual lame excuses come out - no credit, it's a works phone, my wife/GF checks my texts etc. Heard them all.
Now if any refuse I bin them immediately |

What's the problem with giving a mobile number ?
It doesn't show where you are and if anyone becomes a phone pest you can just block them. Simples !
It's not a guarantee of genuineness but it shows a certain degree of good faith to give one.
Kik is just an anonymous thing for time wasters to hide behind |

Because it gives people access to far more than just a phone number.

I used kik when I was meeting I’ve never been a time waster. So not all folk who use it are time wasters. |

I experienced 5 months of harassment and threats from a guy I gave my number to from pof. I blocked him so he just found ways to get around that. Sometimes it was over 35 calls an hour, calls anytime of the day or night.
So that’s what can happen. If someone can’t understand me being reluctant to give out my number then they aren’t someone I’d like to meet, as I understand the frustration but surely it should be able respect and making sure both parties feel safe and comfortable? |

Our biggest issue is some are it as an invite to call at any time of day. And get pissy if you don’t answer. It’s as tho you’re number suddenly makes you family ... |

Really? Taking the piss out of a woman who suffered for months of fear and harassment, frightened and went through all that is worth making a joke out of?
I was going to say that’s step down from your normal drivel and trolling but actually, you've proved true to form. |
