I don't think people will get upset after knowing I gave them a fake name, I can say it's an alias (And the alias I can throw away every year, yes sounds insane but maybe it's the best) | |

When I asked this question i understood this thing. Althought, thanks for telling me about the name/face danger is bigger than the face/phone (I suppose you meant giving phone number to people that see my face, or maybe you didn't mean that?). Then, I think using a fake name is probably a advisable thing to do. | |

One can do far more with your face and name than can be done with just a phone number. There are risks, but in the scope of risks in the typical dating scenario that you describe, there are much greater risks that eclipse phone numbers. Interacting with people is a risk, but an acceptable one. Some do not think so, and shut themselves away. But the risk/benefit ratio tends to favour accepting the benefits with the risks. | |
| Feb 6, 2018 at 23:24 | comment | added | Santropedro | @schroeder Hi, I hope you can clarify that! You mean giving name and surname? You mean to strangers on the street? Is the problem giving my face while saying my name, connecting the two? I don't disagree with you, but then that implies that American culture, where is it super custom to present yourself by giving your name is really unsafe tradition (I'm just trying to imply this, not to go against your advice!) | |
