Hiya all
How do you guys get around keeping your location near to where you live but hidden from people on your doorstep so to speak.
Ive had a few problems with local ladies and Ive started to receive messages from people I believe I know.
Thanks in advance |

"I use a town near me I don't go to often.
And I don't have photos that I can be easily recognised in."
I didn't think I did either. But yes maybe thats two things I'll have to change.

Near Marlborough |
I don’t live In Marlborough. I don’t have my location services on. I don’t have “giveaway” pictures. I block anyone I think is too close or I think I may know if they show up in my updates.
It’s quite easy to be as anonymous as you like I think

I use a different postcode location and vary it every so often. I don’t want to meet people to close to me anyway so this approach works for me. Since doing this I haven’t been messaged by anyone I know, thank gawd :D
Every so often I completely change it and “move” to another part of the country, sometimes ties in with work, other times it’s random..! |

Tweak your post code (I’m actually about 10 miles north of where my location says) |

Ive had a few very weird things happen in the last week so I'll take the above on board
Thanks |

To many things have happen in the last few days and Ive just received a message from a guy who knows my number plate.
So I need to change my profile to stop this happening.
Thanks |

"Great ‘problem’ to have some might think.
‘Messages from local ladies’ most can only dream "
It's not funny when your receiving messages from men telling you that local women have the most awful status updates about me. Ive never even met anyone from Plymouth and I dont even know any of these women. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
I change the postcode so that I can see local updates in places I'm going to be.
The first half of my postcode is pretty generic as it is, so I think I'm reasonably safe.
Mind you, if someone messaged me my car registration, I'd be fucking freaking...hope all settles down, OP |

You can change your location to just Devon instead of Plymouth. And you can turn the “who’s near” off I think. I think mines off x |

Also you can leave the postcode bit blank. You don’t have to put a postcode in x |

Not ashamed at all. But I don’t want every Tom, Dick and Harry knowing my business, and telling every other Tom, Dick and Harry my business. |

"I’ve had someone contact me saying they know me and “your secret is safe with me” but won’t tell me who they are. They even know my full name.  "
I hate that, even now after 8 years here, that's the thing that annoys me. It's like they get a kick out of it, always pictureless profiles and will never say who they are yet weNte supposed to be ok with them knowing who we are. Makes me uncomfortable. |

trouble is i think spider wants somebody local to Plymouth I've seen her say this a few times and with that comes a problem eg the recognition, some women are very recognisable here and don't hide their face or distinguishing tatts or very outrageous hairstyles and colours I've recognised a couple of women from here who live local to me , most people are respectful I think. |

I would imagine they are threatened by your pics.  |
