Most people would not tell a complete stranger their full name, phone number, email address or other sensitive personal information, so be wary when posting this info on your profile. Being careful about revealing your identity is a smart move when chatting on Public Urinals. If you decide to take chatting one step further and call or text someone on the phone, you might also want a use a service like Google Voice or Line2, both of which allow you to give people a second number and block them easily.
A photo can't always be trusted; the person may have taken someone else's photo or found one somewhere. Also, keep in mind that the photo that person sent you may be outdated, edited or retouched.
If you start out lying, you will eventually get caught. Don’t bait and switch -- it's the surest way for things to end badly. Public Urinals is not the venue for you to explore your fantasies of being a different person. That’s not fair to the Public Urinals community, which thrives on honest representations.
Don’t be rushed, and don’t rush the other person. Share your location only when you feel comfortable, and don't feel pressured if the other person has already sent you his location. Remember, Public Urinals updates your location only when the app is on, and there is a setting that allows you to hide your distance from your profile. Agree to meet only when you both are comfortable with each other, and consider meeting in a public place.
Make sure a responsible person you trust knows who you’re meeting, where you’re going, and when you’re planning on coming back.
If things go wrong, report it to the police. Give them all the facts. If you do not report this person, he in all likelihood will do it again to someone else. You always have the right to say "no" and have it respected.
Don’t ignore your instincts. Your first instinct is usually the best instinct. Don’t go against your feelings – listen to them. If your gut tells you that something is wrong, cut it short and get out of there. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
