Why do people use Kik and why are people so afraid to talk over voice?
May 22 2020
I can understand privacy concerns but I mean if it is a privacy concern then why not just call from a private number and if it's not a privacy concern then what is it with wanting to hear a person's voice and tone... I mean isn't that the absolute best way to get to know someone rather than making awkward small talk over text? I'm a million times more charismatic over the phone or in person over text any day of the week.
Also.. even if I had your phone number.. and say I was some sort of weirdo.. what could I even do with it? I seriously have no idea... Please enlighten me.

I don't talk to anyone over phone/voice/facetime. Text suits me. Its easier whilst working with family or just living my daily life. Relatively superficial and doesn't invade my real life in any way. Added bonus......little ears don't need to be privvy to every nitty gritty of my (or my hubbys as he doesnt chat on the phone either) private life. I also make no apology for my stance on voice calls. Don't like it...... move along👍

I dont like giving out my number ever since a friend who works for telecoms showed me that you can get someones address from their number. I like talking to someone on the phone after we have chatted for a while. But kik suits me fine

We like kik . As koko and FFF stated . It’s easy to use in this busy life , we can be anywhere , it doesn’t intrude on our everyday life . We find it is a great way to get to know someone prior meeting .
Like everything else , each to his own .RHP User

I’m nobody’s fuck toy, theres absolutely no way I’d let someone keep me on a string like that where they remain basically anonymous other than to meet and fuck. It’s not my cup of tea and I won’t do it for others either. To me if you’re worried about trading numbers I’m worried about trading bodily fluids cos you’ve obviously got somethibg to hide 😳
I’m all about being open and honest, I get that other people aren’t for whatever reasons but to me if we don’t have that to some degree I dont want any part of a sexual experience with them, if someone who wants to remain anonymous they will, permanently 😊

We're completely with FFF, it's just way easier with young kids around. We can get to messages when we've got the time if we're using kik or messenger on here. To be quite honest we've even had the occasional bad interaction with kik... handing out kik details isn't an open invitation to sext and sent endless messages! Maybe that type of interaction helps explain the hesitance? We had one couple a few years ago ring us without texting first while we were on hands free in the car, five minutes earlier that would have been in front of the mother in law! Not everyone is as considerate as you might be OP. Also, as a couple with kids that works shift work, try getting us in the same place at the same time without the kids hanging off our aprons....
In saying that, as soon as we're comfortable enough on here we're happy to use other forms of contact, you'll know our situation by that stage

I am Deaf and I text. So kik without a phone number is perfect for me as I rather remain anonymous. Simple as that!

Someone once gave me their phone number and a pseudonym. Samsung autopopulated their full name to my phone 🤣. If Facebook has access to your contacts it will even gift you a friend suggestion. The real reason, phone chats with strangers are awkward he he

Dual sims, nah! Let’s be honest, the vast majority of people meeting up on here are couples, most are employed and worried about confidentiality. As much as the stats would tell you it’s all singles guys, going on the forum feedback they’re not the ones meeting. I’m sure if there was a way of working it out, most would be couples in there thirties and forties... a lot in this demographic have families.
At least we’re not in the US where they have morality clauses in employment contracts!

wow I never even took kids or family into consideration hahaha... but I mean, to account for that couldn't you give a time that you are available to chat? I mean if someone is being disrespectful and harrassing you, you can easily block their number.
Anyway.. for me, I just hate nothing more than sitting there on my phone texting all day, and it's also harder to stand out from the 100 other blokes that fill up every womans inbox.. I mean what do you say to stand out and not sound like every other tom dick and harry? Especially compared to having a quick phone conversation to build rapport. I'm way more charismatic over the phone than on text any day of the week and I still find it strange that people are actually hesitant to share their number yet they wouldn't mind sharing bodily fluids.FeistyFatty

SpicyKale....there are morality clauses here in Australia as well. My hubby has had them for many years now.

FFF, thanks for that, I wasn’t sure how wide spread it was outside of professional sport here. It’s very draconian in parts of the states, getting caught swinging could get you struck off professional registers. I believe if you’re in the military your spouse getting caught is enough to get you court marshaled. It’s very different in some pats of the world, others it’s similar to here from what I understand.

SpicyKale.....Its not so narrow I guess here in Australia, not for hubby's industry anyway. In Indonesia and Mongolia though it was rather terrifying lol. Here, my hubby openly discloses our joint lifestyle to alleviate any perceived "malfeasance" and we've found keeping in line with terms hasn't been any different than maintaining our usual privacy and mutual discretion for all parties. Friends of ours, both military, have the clauses and they are soooooo tentative with all their "extra marital" encounters.... to the point that they seldom indulge.

Because it’s getting to close to the real thing. Close in counters of the natural kind!!!!! These dating/ fuck sites are preparing us for old age. Yes we want to go play in the park with the other kids. Most people can’t get passed the front door, its safe and sexy as your wording is.

I don’t like it because if they have an iPhone they automatically get my real full name. It also then links to all discuss media and you pop up in the ‘suggestions’ of people you know.
After we have met, maybe fucked, I like to swap numbers. It shows each person is comfortable with the other and there is a small semblance of trust and respect forming.SpicyKale

Babydoll, that's not the case at all! Go into kik, click on the cog, privacy, then make sure the user phone contacts box isn't green. If you have it set like that no one has access to your number!

Have you ever been stalked? I always talk, or preferably video call someone before meeting to confirm they are who they say they are. I have had a few who had misrepresented themselves in messages. They were very short meetings lol
So no one gets my number until I decide I want to meet them. A telephone number can be the key to a lot of information about a person.

We like kik except what I found is once you give out your username even if u need to block someone aka(hornyperthhunk) from RHP they just recreate new accounts daily and keep trying to re add you ....but other that kik is more convenient for us .

I never use any type of app to communicate for personal safety reasons.
If someone doesn't want to share their mobile they're with one of many different things - a creep, married, tyre kicking and basically wasting my time!
As a man, your world is a bit different to ours, so I'd be upfront and say what your preferences are but compromise if she/they prefer something else. 😊

We prefer kik. When your not in the same state texts are way too hard to keep track of and you both are not being involved.
As far sexual messaging that is only ok when you and the ither party have implied it is ok.
Messages that start crude shows no respect for the other party.
Messaging/chatting can show you so much about a person even before you hearvtheir viice or meet in person.RHP User

I work 5 days a week, have two kids and a husband to manage. I don't really like chatting on the phone, it feels forced and weird with someone I have no relationship with.
I'd much rather stick to snapchat (over kik, at least then i know who is keeping my pics)
