I dont show my face on AW, but i do on other sites but im very heavily inked so even if my face isnt on show my ink is

I joined match and pof a few years ago and I had one message saying I met you in your apartment  . I had loads of messages saying I like your profile prefer the one on aw tho ha . I didn't bother with dating sites after that lol X

I did actually go on a date with him and he was genuinely keen but I ditched him as I couldn't get past the fact he was a client.  I would avoid dating sites.

I agree with MM.  I definitely struggle with the idea, too. 
Men date around far and wide, to get sex/casual relationships.  Women don't date like men do.  Women date differently from men. They are very rarely looking for love/committed relationships, whilst "most" women would EVENTUALLY want to find these from dating. 
Why would you be so worried by being recognised? Lots of men on dating sites had bought sex or wish they did/could buy sex from escorts.  No difference.

I have been recognised on POF and Tinder by clients on several occasions , a couple of them went on to track me on Facebook ...
On one occasion. a guy I've never met , messaged me on Tinder  and mentioned seeing  my AW profile , I ignored it  , he then showed up at my regular job (a night club) and challenged my lack of reply .....
Now , I'm not too worried , I'm not on benefit , don't  work from a council home , most people that matters to me know what I do , I don't have any children and I doubt my boss would sack me over it .... so the repercussions would be minimal but I assume that it wouldn't be the case for a large number of working girls .
Internet dating and privacy just don't go together unless , perhaps , if you're a touring girl and don't work close to home

Also every escort I've spoken to who's been outed, it's been 99% of the time by an ex.

Yikes, VC, not that I'm surprised at all.  Women, just be very Wary of Men in dating games, my advice. 

I looked on tht male punting site a while back and seen a punter had seen the wg he uses on a dating site. He was moaning cos she gives ir away free on dating sites yet he pays. Didnt he understand she gets to see and date and have sex wth whose SHE chooses. Some guys just dont understand we do sometimes want bfs or partners. Its not all about punters anD sex for cash. We are normal

Yes. I've been recognised on dating sites and hit with the charming line of "hey Lola, how's the prostitution going?". Be careful. X
