If a guys profile or status says discreet, would you say that he is probably married or attached?
If not why be discreet, not like we are doing anything illegal is it? |

Some people work in organisations whereby their contract of employment can be terminated if they are found guilty of bringing the organisation into disrepute. Swinging could be seen as falling within this parameter. That’s a reason to be discreet. |

Family, children, neighbours....not everyone is comfortable telling the world they swing.
Why do most profile avatars not have face pictures? (Including the Ops). |

Having sex can't get you sacked from most jobs. We see it as a profile /, message (or lack of) filler, the same as 'genuine'. |

"Some people say they are ‘discrete’ so I expect they are single.
Thank you *doffs hat* that was rather amusing, wasn’t it? "
One of my bugbears - well called.
It's a mistake people are continuously making - or even continually. |

I cant speak for everyone but in my case its there to indicate, that I'm not the type that would go round telling everyone that's willing to listen what I've been up to and with whom. |

for me, it depends..if they sound like a relatively compos mentis human, and they say 'discreet', then i assume they are a discreet person..if however they say 'discrete', coupled with 'honest', and or 'nawty', , and just for good measure 'discrete' at least 3 times more in a 2 line profile then yes, they are married.
my pet theory , and im yet to be proved wrong. |

discreet means has manners in a pub /hotel bar and dosent make things obvious to others what the evening might entail.
likewise if going to someones house park up the road and walk down to the house , checking no neighbours are about
things like that is being discreet for me . |

"Not really, I run and live in a pub, I don't.want all my.customers knowing what.goes on"
Your username is 'the pub landlord' and your profile pic is your face behind a pub bar.  |

Actually it can get you sacked...I have a disrepute clause in my contract and it has been used by my employer on another member of staff... following is an extract from a legal website
Sexual misconduct
A common type of conduct which has been considered as bringing the company into disrepute is sexual conduct. For example, a professional footballer who was caught having an affair which was subsequently reported in the newspapers was deemed to have brought his club into disrepute as this occurred while abroad representing the club on a foreign tour. However, mere disapproval of an employee’s conduct outside of work will not be sufficient to successfully discipline or remove an employee on the basis of bringing the employer into disrepute.
In a 2003 case, the European Court of Human Rights found in favour of the employer where a probation officer was dismissed after he was alleged to have been involved in sado-masochistic sexual activities. He argued that his dismissal breached his privacy rights under the European Convention of Human Rights. However, the ECHR held that the interference with his Article 8 rights was justified given the nature of his work, and the fact he worked with sex offenders.
In a further example, a primary school teacher had posed for photographs which were featured on a website for glamour models. Her conduct was held to have brought her employer into disrepute considering her role within the school. The teacher was subject to disciplinary proceedings but was not fired. However, it was stated that she would have been fired if the website was pornographic.
What’s clear is that each case law will be treated on its own merits. The actual conduct by the employee must be taken into consideration alongside the specific role the employee is employed to do.
If you have such a clause it may or may not be able to be used by your employer but how many of us want to take the chance of losing our jobs in such a way?

I've chatted to loads of 'discreet' men who sit telling me all about 'jo' from 'Barnsley' who used to be be an 'estate agent'..... They wouldn't know discretion if it bit them on the arse. |

I got sacked for being a swinger. A 'friend' put in a complaint, said I used works time, works mobile as a contact number. Nothing could be proven but I lost my reputation by then, so left |

Yes it can. See above comments. QED. |

Do you know for the life of me I can never remember the correct spelling...
Anyway I take it that they will more than likely be attached so rather than debating whether they are or not I just avoid. |

Surely those people proclaiming everyone seeking discretion has something to hide, are being ever so slightly hypocritical if they're hiding their faces on their profiles?
It's a choice, but a wise choice for everyone in my opinion. I don't wish my sexual activities to be public and I'm not particularly interested in yours either. |

"If a guys profile or status says discreet, would you say that he is probably married or attached?

By that logic every female profile that says discreet or asks for discretion is married or attached? |

Is this the same assumption if it's the females profile? |

I never believe anyone who claims openly on here to be in certain types of profession, they're much too vulnerable to finding themselves in the position you were in. "Concerned" colleagues etc. I hope you established yourself elsewhere. |

OP...I'd say that he's probably someone you could trust not to talk about you or your meetsto his mates or others on fab. Discrete means exactly that, someone with decorum and sensitive with personal information. Like anything on here though people can interpret anything to suit what they're either looking for or not looking for.
I'd try to interpret what people say as they say it otherwise what is the point of any profile descriptions or preferences.
This is a bit extreme but if I were to assume those who said curvy as actually being fat would I be wrong or am I just wrongly interpreting what they put down? |

The words discrete and discreet share the same origin (from the Latin discretus, meaning ‘separate’), are pronounced the same way, but have different meanings. Discrete stays true to its Latin origins and means ‘individually separate and distinct . So there you go

Discrete* should be Discreet
They both have same Latin origin. The former meaning separate or detached ironically.. the later being careful guarded or cautious in action and speach. |

Generally I'd assume this is the case. It's not like we'd turn up at someone's house and yell to the neighbours that we're about to have sex with the occupant anyway
