Approached on the street

September 19 2025

Has anyone been approached on the street and asked if they are the guy or girl from RPH? I was yesterday just a few houses down from home, near a park. It threw me. I ended up politely closing the conversation down by saying being online and chatting was very different to being randomly approached in the street. It was a man I had not been answering texts for. Not a great feeling knowing I was so close to home and for all he knew my kid could have been around.

Yep, quite a few times over the years. Not really a biggy though. I usually respond with a quick "Who isn't" and move on with the conversation or my day. It's more the location of the interaction that annoys me ..... Schools, Workplaces, when I'm with my family are all places I don't like being approached by anyone.

Only on other platforms / apps. Never on the street, even though I’m very open with photos on my profile. I suspect women are much less likely to stalk than guys (generally speaking).

Perhaps that’s one reason why many don’t post their face pics upfront on their profile. Each to their own on that one. Pros and cons both ways. Personally, I feel it adds more risk of that occurring. One of my female RHP friends got approached by a guy who recognised her for RHP. She was out with vanilla friends at the time so she told me. She managed to discreetly shut it down without raising suspicion.

Yes! Approached in person while I was with my daughter waiting in the grocery register line up. He was behind us in the queue. I was mortified and absolutely ropable! Another time: A work colleague. 😖 Both times, very innappropriate. Ms Foxy PS Tip: Turn your location services off as the site has "Active near by" service. That means anyone can do a search who is within close proximity. If you are near by, you'll come up.

Yes , when we first joined rhp and already having a profile due to a sports background , l thought l could get away with a not so recognisable face photo which only lasted about a month before some smarty worked us out He messaged enquiring if we were so and so' which l denied ... This spooked Mrs S so she dropped out leaving me to remove our pic's and leave my profile as it is now... Unfortunately, this episode was enough to not want to add our pic's back ever.., just not worth it...

Never had that myself. I'd consider it extremely rude, and I can see why it would be frightening.

the only time I experienced this was at a supermarket and saw a woman there. I kept thinking why do I know you? I was about to approach and say hello when it dawned on me why.

It’s happened twice to us, in the supermarket of all places. “Are you on RHP ?” they asked. “What is RHP” we said. We then continued with our shopping.

Yes, twice actually. Once was in the supermarket with my ex and another couple we'd spoken to briefly said hi, it's xx from RHP. We just smiled, said hello and kept walking. The recent one was on a rare trip to the city for me, I was walking down Collins St and noticed a very attractive girl coming towards me, who I then recognised from here. We locked eyes and I gave her a polite nod and kept going. She may not have even realised who I was. I certainly wasnt going to approach someone I had barely spoken to in public, in the area they worked and try and discuss our mutual interest in the lifestyle.

imho no big deal. Pre-internet the personal approach was unavoidable. Indeed, in discussing online dating with some female friends they lamented missing the chance meeting with a hottie in the supermarket or park or tram. Perhaps insert this into your profile. “If you know me, no you don't! mind your business”

Dammit no. Wouldn't mind if I was. Probably more luck than having so messages ignored. Apart from that there are not many females here in my area anyway so that makes a difference I guess

We (wife and I) were out recently when two women came out of a bar onto the footpath near us. One was stunning and I’ve looked at her and just said “Hi” with a big goofy grin. We started talking as a foursome and my wife who is not into women really clicked with this stunning lady. They were headed to a bar and invited us to join so we did. As we were walking the attractive lady asked “are you guys swingers”. Just like that. We didn’t know, and still don’t, what vibe we projected but she picked up on something. That was our first and only experience of this type of question. Unfortunately she couldn’t /wouldn’t play because she’d just started a vanilla relationship. Shame….

Yep… just 4 weeks ago I’ve been living here 4 six months. I am so so so so so So pissed !!! He made the approach… I was also curious, i wanted to go back to a venue but in one chance meeting its made it impossible to be me … I approached the local venue that is not suppose to judge but they have…… OHHHHHH they do…. based on his old footy mate , who wanted to pay me back now I’ve lost a world of wanderment because of 1 man off this portal & his hairy chest …..now I have no local venue & no social group or base of friends in this new area. All based lies, I want it to stop 🛑 My lifestyle is being stifled by a club & a glitted dick!!!!! not good for business ….💋💋💋💋
