It really grinds my gears...
We get lots of messages from guys telling us they are "discreet" as if it's a selling point. Given that it's bloody obvious none of us are going around having group sex in public, to us it means only one of two things
1. I'm a bit thick and don't really think about what I write, but I have seen lots of other people saying they are discreet, so it must be a good thing.
2. It's a euphemism for cheating and paranoid and I'll turn up for a meeting in dark glasses, hat and false beard. |

Or maybe they want to keep their fab life totally separate from real life, or perhaps they have a job they want to keep it from, or yes perhaps they are not single. Don’t see the issue with it to be honest. |

My point is that being discreet goes without saying. We're all discreet.
Hence using it as a selling point suggests stupidity or paranoia. |

Agree it does go without saying for most of us.
Overuse of it makes me suspicious

I agree that it should be a given and that for many it will go without saying, but then respect and being genuine also should be a given and often seem lacking. Perhaps highlighting those qualities isn't such a bad thing after all... |

It's the whole "protesting too much" thing. If you feel the need to emphasise you are genuine and discreet, people will begin to suspect you're not... |

"I see a lot of posts on here I'd consider indiscreet, so it's not necessarily about the persons personal situation it could be about how they conduct themselves."
By "posts on here" I mean the whole forum not just this thread. |

I would assume that everyone is discreet unless they declare they are open about their lifestyle.
Someone who is open about being a swinger is not neccesarily going to "out" everyone they have met.
In short, it means as much as the legal disclaimer. |

I take your point, and yes emphasisising it can seem a little odd; like sending a message stating you won't assault them...I naturally assumed that?
But I guess it's a harmless reassurance in my book? I once had a social with a couple in a pub where the male was openly talking graphically about sex acts and what I should do with his partner upstairs, whilst we sat in a crowded bar. That's the type of discretion I refer to and expect?
Some folk approach the whole site with a very blase, I don't care who knows attitude, whereas I'd rather keep the sexual activity to the bedroom, and outside it's about subtle titillation and good conversation to attract eachother. |

"It annoys me more when they spell it "discrete".
Discreet means under the radar or careful, discrete means individual or detached...  "
Indeed ... so either could be used depending on the user's context  |

What does discreet mean though?
Lots of people have public face pics so everyone local probably knows they are a swinger.
People have sex veris showing on their profile so we know who they fucked.. and can follow their veri trail to see who that next person fucked... like a big sex pyramid.
