In my opinion, it is a bad idea to give out any identifiable information. I doubt the MLs/WLs give you their real names etc. Why not just enjoy the session and leave it to that?
Real name to a hooker? yeah, nah.
I do. Also exchanged photos with some of them on their request and had a few in my car so they could have gotten the number plate, but so could anyone else on the street.
Nothing to loose, single and punt way too much despite past intentions to quit. So why bother to hide anything.
Disagree. An incorrect name provides plausible deniability, just a shrug of the shoulders to your other.
Where I was a resident, I did use a nom de guerre, one that the PRC's gave me. Easy to remember for all of us.
However, here in Aus, I have been using my real name. I'm too lazy to set up a different WeChat account, and it's a bit hard to waffle when my name is right there (use it both for friends and friends).
My experience, most all do ignore you, at most a nod that could be to anyone (I do the same). But my first Thai gf in Bangkok, 5, 6 years later, did shout out my real name (before I switched to my nom de guerre). I just ignored, gave my friends a "I have no idea", and walked on.
I always tell the MLs my name is Sibon.
It means "So good" in French.
That was about to be my joke! Well played sir.
Why give your real name. You don’t get theirs
For a long time I used the first name of a former boss who I disliked a lot.
In reality why give your real name to a working girl who is, understandably, using a fake name herself....!!!
Yes - to a degree.
I give the shortened version of my name and never had any issues with it - given I only give the first name
Big assumption there, not getting their real names. I'm not encouraging anyone to be more open than they currently are, but maybe we can appreciate how a person can really open up once the opposite party has opened up.
It's a bit like "show me yours and I'll show you mine". Sometimes the wall remains because both parties cannot let go of it. Doesn't happen all the time, but I've had a fair few who have opened up once they knew I wasn't hiding anything.
If you use pay Id, you see their name, they see yours
If you get her PERSONAL WeChat, chances that will have her real name, or at least the name that her civilian friends know her by. Everyone I know has only one WeChat account, including me. You can create your own name, but that will be the name EVERYONE knows you by. Also, talk about being open, anyone can view one's moments...(and a personal one won't have today's roster...)
Use my Nickname only
