Have you ever stupidly compromised your identification?

[myothernameis]

Another reverse one - I recently saw a WG who has another career - she told me a couple of things, but enough that when I Googled out of curiosity I found her real ID, Facebook etc. straight away. I'm not going to tell anyone, but am about to let her know.

There an escort on here, who I have seen, and last week, she told me about her brothers, now I know about the who family, but there was someone on  here posted her address and name, so looks like she passing out details which means you can easily find here real name

Were you planning to come to England??   

That's it. I knew I had it for some reason!

I once, stupidly, dropped one of my business cards on the floor before I went toilet! She picked it up and saw my real name,  business address and  my phone number!

That was the last time I saw that girl!

You were lucky she gave it back to you. Had she not mentioned it, you'd br none the wiser, and she'd have all your info at hand.

Never. Every email or text from me is signed Mr Wong. It's always Mr Wong, and I never accidentally slip out of my Mr Wong persona.

Probably confuses them though when a ginger Devonshire lad knocks on the door.

I do this because the first dominatrix I visited said my chosen false name was so boring - all her clients all used the same boring selection of apostles names. So from then on I decided: I'd make an impression.

Have no concerns about my ID - separated, shortly to divorce, will never get into another long term relationship with someone who isn't aware of my sexual proclivities, and I'm not doing anything illegal so couldn't give a shit if people at work find out about it. Make a point of not using AW or this website on my work laptop / phone which is about the only issue that might see me up for a disciplinary.

Worst case scenario I get caught out taking a 2 hour lunch break to fuck a whore - not ideal but I get headhunter calls every couple of months so there will be another job along. Work to live - don't live to work. Or rather live to fuck.

Life is too short to live a lie.

It's not really Wong, I only said Wong so no one would realise it's actually Chen. Fuck, I've done it again!

I found that my iMessage texts on my iPhone were sending my real email address with full name in it.  Thankfully the WG was kind enough to let me know.

Now that is as good a reason for having a punting mobile as any......!!!

[sublime1981]

I give my first name out. That's it really. All done from my own phone too. Like others have said, I'm single so surely it can't do too much harm?

First name too.  Hardly a big issue & ok unless u have a really obscure name. Helps when booking a girlie at a parlour with the maid - especially when you've been b4.  They know you are more likely to be genuine - less likely to double book / cancel. Or when you rock up then target girlie is busy & you have less attractive alternatives to choose from
As for 'own phone' a deffo no-no.  Google search ?  Sure a private detective could find your details with too much trying from the number - especially if on a contract & not PAYG.  There might just be that 0.01%-1.0% of WG's who fall on hard times / get harassed by Sergei / lose their mobily [if u r a regular & they keep your no.].  All sorts of possibilities.  The WG's flat gets raided by the rozzers & mobile confiscated.  And the rozzers decide to have some fun & scare the shit out of punters.  Its all pretty unlikely & if you're that bothered about getting caught then maybe time to pack up punting.  Even if no OH then there could be problems with work. Get a 'burner' phone & the risks all but evaporate. Its all about risk management. U never know what u are going to be doing in the future / who u might be with.  Unless of course u are a lonely sad git & have no chance on this front [no pun intended ]

Don't we compromise our identification everytime we visit a WG and she see's our face?

I use my real first name, be stupid/pointless not to really. Never given my last name to a WG, and can't think of any reason I would either. I use my own phone (as others, single, not married, no kids etc) but I've checked that my number reveals nothing when Googled, and my Facebook settings are tight. I've never given my email address to a WG - it's either phone call, text, or contact using AW internal messaging system. I have once by mistake almost revealed the company I work for, which again I don't think would be a big issue anyway, but I did think better about it at the time and moved the "conversation" (chit-chat) away from it.

Only once have I contacted a girl who uses iMessage, but my settings don't give out my email address anyway. My only uncertainty is WhatsApp - obviously my number is linked to that app, although I don't use my full name on there anyway, nor is the profile picture a picture of me. And unless someone tries to contact me that way, nothing can be seen anyway (I know this by adding WG numbers to my phone and seeing if they use WhatsApp too, as you can often see a profile pic and/or status message. Only two WG's I've ever visited have used WhatsApp anyway, so I don't think it's a big deal.

I had thought about a punting phone, but then I'm likely to take my iPhone with me anyway (very least to use maps to help me get there, plus I never go anywhere without it, and I don't always go straight home, or go straight from home). Likewise I don't go without my wallet, although I leave that in the car if I'm going to a WG I don't know - I suppose I could do the same with my phone. Be gutted if I got back and found my car nicked though, with no wallet or phone to help me get home! Add to that, the keys are in my pocket when I rock up to the WG's place anyway (although I never park right outside, it wouldn't be hard to find the car if Sergei decides to rob me of my keys, looks at the car logo on the key and goes down the street pressing buttons on the fob!)

Like someone said, it's all about risk management, or risk assessment. If we delve into it too deeply, you'd never leave the house, let alone get to a punt!
