 Re: What if I meet someone I know through work?
Ok, let me modify my reply to this thread. If you're worried about being outed for any reason by going to a swing club, don't go. If you're worried about being outed by posting pics on your online profile, don't post pics. If you're worried about being outed by describing yourself in an online profile, don't describe yourself.
In short, if you're worried about being outed at all, you probably shouldn't swing.
Please don't think I'm being flip here - I'm not. I'm not trying to downplay anything anyone has said in this thread. Everyone has posted legitimate concerns. If those concerns are going to make you look over your shoulder or watch the door at a club to see who's coming in, you're not going to have a good time at that club. I wouldn't go if I thought I was going to have to do that.
You know what kind of risk you can take better than anyone else. All anyone on this board can do is relate things to themselves, based on their own experiences. Maybe we're lucky to not have met someone with an agenda at a swing club. Maybe our experiences aren't typical. Yes, the level of risk we're willing to take in being outed isn't the same as anyone else's. Like I said, you know what level of risk you're willing to take better than anyone else.
If you fear for your career that badly, then don't swing in the first place.
