  1. Amaysim is amazing... setting up a naughty # on an old phone can cost next to nothing. We're dealing with randoms, of course the majority will be cool but it only takes 1 stalky type before that # you've had forever may have to be retired. 2. If I were a single I'd probably have no issue around face pics but there's social stigma for couples in sexually open relationships that isn't there for a single looking for sex. 3. Dodgy takes all shapes and sizes, we've had couples stand us up but less often and with more communication than when the single guys do it...

  which I use only for RHP. No one else uses it and I use a Pre Paid Sim. That way, if anything goes "wrong", I can just get another mobile number. As to the 2nd Question, Paradisepair has already answered that one for me. I can't comment on whether there are more "dodgy" couples vs "dodgy" males vs "dodgy" females. Just that they do exist. Luckily for me, I have not encountered any "dodgy" RHP Members yet. Amy

  Kik is the best way to communicate off here IMO. No personal info shared other than what you set your account up with (ie no need to input surname). I've found a number of people don't want their face pic visible due to career and commitments outside of work. Certainly the reason I don't have mine in a public gallery. And any group has the potential to be dodgy, male or female or couples. Perhaps just a little more risk for females meeting males or couples. Just use common sense in the info you share with a complete stranger and where you meet. And go with your gut instinct! If something seems not quite right, it probably isn't and may be time to say goodnight. - Posted from rhpmobile

  1. What Simple Desires said. I have the KIK app, which keeps your number private as it works with usernames. 2. I have face pics, sometimes in my public gallery, other times in my private one. I won't meet someone without having seem their face. A the very least they can email it to my Gmail address, especially created for RHP. 3. I think men and women are as dodgy as each other (from what I've heard, no personal experience there) whereas I think couples are more dodgy when they are either really only a single guy, or one partner is not on this site because they want to be.

  Think men + sex = murphy's law. Anything and everything can go wrong. Cover all bases. Different phone, face pictures to selected people only. Tell people who and where your meeting. cyanide capsule and loaded pistol. (besides the one in your pants). what......... you think its just random that I have 007 in my username!!! Trust no one and be very scared when I tie you up for interogation........

  1. I also have Kik and no I don't have a separate phone. If I give my number out and the person get a annoying, I can block the number, so it's really no problem.... 2. I don't mind if someone doesn't have a face pic in their public gallery, that's a personal preference I think, but I will want to see one before I meet them. (have been caught once) 3. Their are lots of dodge people in life, I haven't really come across many in here, but I'm extremely good at screening now. (back to the I've been caught once) 💋

  1. I don't have a smartphone so I've given my "real" number out to a lot of folks and, thankfully, have never had a problem. It would be wiser if I'd done what other users have said and used a secondary SIM or even an entirely different phone. But when do I do what's wise compared to what's easy? 2. Quite right, I don't want to be recognised. I've probably been more liberal with allowing private gallery (PG) views than I would have liked, but as a male I can't afford to be too selective if I actually want to have results. There are a lot of men on the site chasing women, and if I'm stubborn about showing my face pic, there are a lot who aren't and the attention will shift their way rather quickly. I have a spare Gmail address, just like Meander mentioned, for emailing pics that aren't on the site. 3. As a bi guy I've met a few males over the years and have never encountered someone "dodgy", as in dangerous or criminal. A few dodgy as in ineffectual. ;) Generally, people are trustworthy and are looking for the same things I am, and not to make off with a wallet. I agree with the sentiment above, though, that it only takes one to ruin the party. So it doesn't hurt to be extra careful.

  I used to keep my profile and my personal details a lot closer to the chest, had a separate SIM card etc. However, I'm a lot more relaxed about it now, after all there is no privacy on the Internet unless you're dishonest about yourself. Still - being more private than some ladies expect I often get the angry "What DO You Have TO Hide?" messages, and get blocked for no apparent reason other than I am not giving my photo unless it is through an email - my guess is a lot of people get cold feet unless y0u're really on public display and that is clearly wrong, we should be able to maintain a degree of mystique up to the point of meeting the other person. Generally I give everyone a chance, but an overally suspicious and demanding person that wants to ID you without having a polite conversation about who we are, is not going to be a good match...
