Tinder : Hesitancy …
Just curious if others M or F have experienced hesitancy to sign up for on-line dating sites due to their occupation.
I (54M) work in the legal profession (criminal law) and am hesitant to put my face and limited personal info on an open forum for obvious reasons.
Sadly there are not too many if any alternatives out there.
Opinions ???

You don’t need to put your occupation on your profile
I get where you’re coming from. I’m not sure either now that you mentioned it. Especially being in Crim Law. You got me thinking.
It’s a safety concern because of your profession for sure. But keep in mind that so much of your personal information is already accessible to the public. There are ways it could backfire, but try to rationalize how often a situation like that would occur. If it’s a 1/100 possibility, the odds are low. And there’s many more precautions you could take prior to meeting someone from the site. You already have the upper hand knowing the law. You know what you need to do to keep yourself safe. I say go ahead and make that profile and make sure you have plans in place for extra safety and discretion with your date. Don’t let this stop you from growing your personal relationships. Good luck, friend!
I was worried at first too but then I realized they’re on the same site so there’s no reason to feel judged.
Always think with things like this it’s a bit of ego, “what I do is so important I can’t be seen to be doing this” etc.
Everybody has so much of their own shit going on they are unlikely to care what you do, so many people are on OLD it’s not majorly likely you will see clients on there or that they will see you, especially given you are male and there is a lot more men than women on apps. Even if you’re clients do see you on there, it will be a novelty for about 3 seconds then they will swipe and get on with their lives. Nobody cares what you are doing, they aren’t watching you, it’s fine.
since others addressed the safety concern maybe you could play into it, something like “can get you off the stand and lying down”
Tbh I keep it limited and only have one photo….. just be aware that no one is likely to match with you with that strategy unless you stunning…. I see this online dating stuff as a laugh and will meet someone eventually….. you probs in the best place to meet a bloke – aren’t all blokes criminals 😀
Oh no others will see I am dating on a dating site (they have to be on the site to see that you are you fucking clown)
