How to Keep Your Profile on the Down Low
If you’re worried about having a profile on a hookup dating site for security reasons, we can’t say you’re wrong. After all, there have been cases of hookups where some slag gets hold of your name and decides to try and ruin your life. This isn’t common, but it has happened, and you want to be able to protect yourself. If you’re already in a relationship, with a girlfriend or wife, that’s another reason you probably won’t want to have just anyone be able to find you on a hookup dating website. You want to be able to have the best time you possibly can, without worrying that you’re going to be dealing with being found out. Here are some of our favorite tips for keeping your hookup dating a secret.
Don’t Use Your Full Name
It should go without saying that you shouldn’t put your full name on a dating site profile. However, we’re also going to recommend that you don’t give your full first and last name to any women that you meet on these sites, either. You don’t know which of these slags are actually looking to grab your wallet and run, so make sure you don’t give them any additional information. You can use your first name, but go ahead and come up with a different last name if you’re at all worried about having this traced back to you at some point in the future.
Use Action Shots for Pictures
A great way to show off your body, your hobbies, and your personality in pictures without giving away your face is to take pictures of yourself in action shots. Make sure she can see you surfing, playing ball, or doing just about anything with animals. You don’t have to be that close to the camera if you have a good reason, and an action shot is a great way for her to see what kind of person you are without focusing on your face. Even if she can still see your face a bit, it won’t be easy for someone to pick you out of a crowd just by a small blurry photograph of you. If it is that easy, you may have too distinctive a face. Consider a hat.
Hook Up In Someone Else’s Hometown
If you’re concerned that no matter what you do someone might find you on a hookup website, consider trying to hook up somewhere away from your hometown. If you’re from a small town, or there are people close to you that don’t need to know you’re in the scene, set your location to someplace you’re willing to take a train into every time you want to hook up. From then, it’s going to be nice and easy for you to just hook up with women in another city, and you don’t have to worry about anyone in your hometown finding your profile online or seeing you out on the town in person.
