I'm curious, has any guy on this site been scrolling through the pictures of real folks, and stumbled upon someone they actually know? If so did you let them know or keep it to yourself. I'm sure that there are people on the site what we know but don't know them by their user name, only by picture. This morning I could have sworn that one of the pictures I came across was of an old co-worker.

on this site... nope, not yet. on various other platforms, yes i have.

i make it a personal rule to not "out" anyone that i know if i should run into them without their knowledge. firstly, it's none of my business what people do in there personal lives plus i've got nothing to gain from outing someone.

i remember one time running into a married co-worker on craigslist (before they shut down the personals). she had replied to my ad for a female fwb. i never post up pics of myself and always insist that they send a pic first because i don't want to be recognized publicly. after about 10 or so back-n-forth exchanges via email, she finally sent me a pic of her and i recognized her right away.

all i did was politely replied to her that we could no longer pursue this relationship as i knew who she was and promised that i will never say anything to her about this should we meet in person the next time. i did not share a picture with her. she did reply back a few times asking for a pic and arguing that since we already knew each other then it would be "easier" but this was too close to home and i don't fuck around with my co-workers. i never did reply back. it would be about 9 months of me pondering her every day i saw her at work until i left that company. she wasn't bad on the eyes at all and i always smiled under my breath each time i spoke to her at work. i kept my personal distance from her and left it at that.

I saw one particular (very) amateur pic a few times on Tumblr, and it really looks like a woman I know. I doubt it's her, but it's close enough that I remember the picture every time I see her.

95% of the pictures are of male penises and asses. I have no idea what 99.9% of my friends ( male ) and their intimate body parts look like . Female friends, the percentages will certainly decrease , but none i recognize so far

Not a photo but I saw someone that I personally know mentioned in a thread. Someone here wanted to know if there were nude photos of the guy I know. I didn't tell him about it.
Same for me. I’ve seen a few people ask/write about I guy I know (he’s well known). Even though we’re not close friends, I wouldn’t betray his privacy. I’m sure he is well aware that people ask/write about him often given that he’s an actor who is cast as a heartthrob/sex symbol. In that line of work, it’s got to come with the job.

I’ve suspected I might know a person or two from pictures or cam chat but I’ve never given it much thought beyond that. What everyone does in private is theirs to decide if no one is being hurt.

What would you accomplish by outing someone you know? I would not do say anything period. That’s more of a friend!

Not on here but another site yes. I said I saw your a member of *** like I am. Slight embarrassment for about a minute. Hey, if you're gonna post a face pick you should already know you're taking that chance. I told him my user name and he said that's you? Told me he's seen the name regularly and my pics, didn't know it was me. We just started talking opinion/experience on the site. He was not a friend but someone I knew socially. Now we hang out together and became friends.
