Jump to: Newest in thread
"A question asked elsewhere but worth asking here also. Obviously no right or wrong answer it’s all down to personal preference but do you get put off by profiles with endless verifications ? Or the opposite does it stand out as a plus point ? Or does it purely not come into your thoughts ?" depends in my opinion theres 3 types of endless verifications theres one side thats social another thats a mixure and well another is endless verifications that he/she would get up on anything. Its the endless sexual verifications that I personally would avoid. A mixture is good both social an sexual for me a nice balance. | |||

"I don't really look at the amount of veris. I look at who left them ... " Same. I sometimes wonder from veris why the guy than would want to meet me. One guy lately all his veris were from slim women and he contacted me. Told him straight out that didn't think I was for him but he reckoned he into curvy women, but veris shows different. Or if I've been with a guy and the meet was ok but yet he's a sex God in all his other veris I wonder what I did wrong lol or are they lying | |||

"It kinda reminds me of the times when I say 'I wish I was thin' as I stuff my face with cake " Nothing wrong with that, just eat nothing the rest of the day and burn those calories during a good play meet ! | |||

Maybe he only has veris from slim women because after getting the first 1 or 2, any curvy woman he wanted to meet looked at his previous veris and thought the same thing you did. Maybe he did have veris from curvy women, but they left Fab and he can no longer display them. Maybe he's now gutted that he can't get the curvy ladies he desires, because they all think he prefers someone slimmer. The way I see veris is, they are a reflection of what or who someone wanted at that time in their life, and not necessarily what they want now. Because after all, you're the one they're mailing and trying to meet... Not x, y, or z they met last week, last month or last year | |||

Some guys, are interested in more than "younger and slimer than the average Fab lady". Kinky, experienced, looking to try new things type of women, are not always the "young and slim". It takes a bit of time for a man to learn and realise that the packaging is not what matters the most. | |||

"For me, lines like 'don't pass him by' or 'don't miss the chance' are code for 'He's alright, but I'm not that keen on meeting him again.... please take him off my hands so he'll stop bugging me for another meet' " Or maybe, it is from someone who could not be arsed to write a proper veri. At least in that scenario, the guy is safe to meet. To me, a veri will tell a lot about the one who wrote the veri and less about the one receiving it. I take more hints from the ones giving the veris, as their attitude in writing a veri, tells a lot about them. Unless a very is well written and informative, it tells very little about the ones receiving them. Many complain, about the large amount of post M&G or post party veris, from someone's profile. But I like them and I find them very useful in trying to build a "picture" of the ones giving them. I've met couples/singles and very few times was I surprised and changed my view on someone, as the veris they give, have it all. | |||

"Verifications... Without them, Fab would be like any other site... well almost, as gender verification is unique to Fab too. Both keep us safe up to a point and help us make our mind, when deciding whom we meet." Do they really keep us safe though? I've had terrible experiences with 2 well-verified men, both of whom turned out to be complete sociopaths, one of whom told people I know that he was going to destroy me after I said I didn't want to meet him again, and the other spent 18 months setting up new profiles to contact me on trying to get back into my good graces because he had contacted all my friends, my fwb's friends, and even our friends' friends after I had said I didn't want to meet him again. Under Fab rules I can't write either of them a veri to say that they are twisted individuals... That one scared me so badly that a girlfriend had to move in with me for a few months... Or that the other went on a manipulative roaring tirade that reduced me to floods of tears, telling me how utterly and completely selfish I was, and insensitive to his needs, after I said I needed some time to grieve following a bereavement, and almost had me convinced that I was the one in the wrong... These are the stories you can't put on a verification, so all anyone ever sees are the ones that say how wonderful someone is.... And thinks they are safe in meeting them. | |||

I had a recent meet where the guy and I were definitely not compatible and is now the main reasons why I specify on my profile that I now refuse to play on the same day as first meet - cooling off periods are important! I don't think any person should feel obliged to 'help' anyone get verified if they were no good. This isn't a charity and we'd be doing more harm than good giving a veri to a person just because we're trying to be nice. I'm sure I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I certainly don't expect a list of veris from people just because I showed up and look like my photos. I expect others not to assume the same. | |||

"So any of you posting in the last few posts, meet a man/woman/couple with zero veris and on Fab for more than few months?" Yup... My first ever meet was with an unverified single male who had been on here and another site for 18 months without getting a meet. Spent many glorious weekends with him after that first social meet! I popped a few swinging cherries in the year after that, before I met Boo... I've rarely met someone else since then though as we are perfectly aligned in our minds, imaginations, kinks and perversions. The experiences I share with him aren't anything I would find with anyone else. He's not my soulmate... He's my wholemate | |||

"Feel obliged", God no, no one should be obliged to do anything, here on Fab or elsewhere! "If they are no good" - No good in what way? Not good enough for someone, is perfect for someone else. I don't give verifications to everyone I meet or play with, also I have not received verifications either. Showing up for a meet and at least looking like in their photos, nothing wrong, to acknowledge that in a veri. Surprisingly, is harder for some people to show up, than people imagine. I won't even get into the "looking like in the pics" subject. Fab is a community (not a charity ) and helping out others is encouraged. Some people on Fab are missing this point and I personally don't want to meet someone with a selfish attitude, here or in real life. | |||
"So any of you posting in the last few posts, meet a man/woman/couple with zero veris and on Fab for more than few months?" We don't, simply because we are a couple, and a lot of guys have aspirations about meeting couples but when it comes down to it, they don't quite get it. So we generally stick with men with couple experience. | |||
"Yes absolutely we do! We look at who left them, if we click on a guys profile and see a bunch of bareback pics the couple verified by that guy is a nope. Equally we expect to be judged by our veris" Def bareback is a big turnoff | |||
"More so on who the veris are from tbh ." Yep | |||

No veri system could ever give you a full guarantee that someone is sound, safe and sexy, no matter if the profile owner has control over the veri display or not. What 5+ veris do though is providing a certain guarantee that the person behaves behind doors. Now you still have to use your gut feeling and your brain to choose the right meet and avoid the nut cases. | |||
"I met a well verified guy when I first joined and he basically told me about all the women he had been with in my area, one or two who could lose their job over the carry on in their workplace and it never stopped him telling me who they were." Men bragging about whom they've met and how many women they've played with, is nothing new. Getting into personal details of exactly whom they've met, not a very pleasant thing, but again some men think, that sharing that info with another woman, makes them more trustful. Wrong thinking, but not everyone understands the implications and the value of privacy and discretion, especially when swinging and real life get mixed up. Playing with someone from your area, always carries the risk of meeting them in your local Tesco , but very easy to fix ... play with someone further away, to avoid the embarrassment. | |||

While the women are more exposed to "dangerous" meets, men have their fair share of "predator meets" and at best are asked for money, but there are more unpleasant situations too. I find that a horny male is much more exposed to a bad situation, due to lack of judgement from his side, than a woman. Just my two cents, I could be wrong, but I just see it that way. I also know from personal experience, that a female that otherwise is very picky and judgemental, who picks a man's profile to bits and spends weeks to talk to someone and scrutinise everything, will drop all that for a man who will scoop her, of her feet. She then becomes very vulnerable, exactly like a horny man and drops all her defences. It puts her in a very bad position and if the guy happens to be manipulative and a psychopath, then it ends up like D8 mentioned above. | |||
"He wasn't from area but visits once a week, also lied about been married. " Lying about being married is the most common thing on Fab or outside, hardly any surprise and easy to spot. Still doesn't justify him lying to you. Guys with jobs allowing them to travel a lot, very common too.

"What female in her right mind would get into a car with a total stranger? " More than you can imagine and there is nothing wrong with it. Listen to the guy, watch his behavior and within minutes, you know if you need to walk away fast or find more about him. BJs in the car are not unheard of, even during the first meet. A BJ at first sight, should not be expectated by any man, unless agreed as a fantasy, consensual of course. Irish Fab, is absolutely not made entirely of psychopaths. | |||
| |||
"I don't really look at the amount of veris. I look at who left them ... " I usually look deeper than that, if I like someone I look at who the verifications are from and who they have met. I might even go three verifications deep. If that makes sense. I like to know where the person I might meet has been and with who. | |||
"I don't really look at the amount of veris. I look at who left them ... Same. I sometimes wonder from veris why the guy than would want to meet me. One guy lately all his veris were from slim women and he contacted me. Told him straight out that didn't think I was for him but he reckoned he into curvy women, but veris shows different. Or if I've been with a guy and the meet was ok but yet he's a sex God in all his other veris I wonder what I did wrong lol or are they lying " ...like l said in my previous reply to this post Steph...ladies can put certain types of veri's up because they don't want hurt a guys feelings or harm his chances of further potential meets..because maybe they know they won't even meet those same guys again so it doesn't matter to them if the Veri is " photoshopped " ... | |||

"I don't think any person should feel obliged to 'help' anyone get verified if they were no good. This isn't a charity and we'd be doing more harm than good giving a veri to a person just because we're trying to be nice. I'm sure I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I certainly don't expect a list of veris from people just because I showed up and look like my photos. I expect others not to assume the same. "Feel obliged", God no, no one should be obliged to do anything, here on Fab or elsewhere! "If they are no good" - No good in what way? Not good enough for someone, is perfect for someone else. I don't give verifications to everyone I meet or play with, also I have not received verifications either. Showing up for a meet and at least looking like in their photos, nothing wrong, to acknowledge that in a veri. Surprisingly, is harder for some people to show up, than people imagine. I won't even get into the "looking like in the pics" subject. Fab is a community (not a charity ) and helping out others is encouraged. Some people on Fab are missing this point and I personally don't want to meet someone with a selfish attitude, here or in real life. " Hmm. I seem to have touched a nerve. I'm kind of tired of all the whinging around (usually) guys demanding a veri 'just because he shows up'. If I had a euro for each of those, I could open a shop. Most of the 'showing up' guys hungry for a veri were mean, tight-fisted, boring little jerks who barely deserved five minutes of my time. And then they acted as though they were God's gift to womankind because they showed up at a café in the middle of a work day or at a pub near their hotel. Hardly a five-course meal at Shanahan's, is it? I'm tired of my expectations being constantly lowered because some horny builder in my area wants to meet me in the hopes of a blow job in his van. So YEAH, I am a little wary and I've every right to be. I prefer to spend my time in better company (my own, usually) than sifting through terabytes of horn-induced aggravation from 99.9% of the opportunists, cheaters and amateurs on this site and I couldn't give a toss about 'giving anyone a chance' if they won't meet me halfway and act like a decent human being first. | |||

I don't give verifications to everyone I meet or play with, also I have not received verifications either. Showing up for a meet and at least looking like in their photos, nothing wrong, to acknowledge that in a veri. Surprisingly, is harder for some people to show up, than people imagine.

I hear you lady! I've met folk in the past for coffee (when I had spare time) who needed a veri to get an invite to a club or party... People whom I ordinarily wouldn't have met, as they didn't fit my own preferences in any way, but because their online presence was largely unobjectionable, and I had the free time, I said OK to grabbing a quick coffee and giving them a veri. But then once in a while someone would turn up that you would struggle to find anything good to say about.... Rampant BO and/or halitosis, appalling manners, clearly lying about their age or height, or even using someone else's photos on their profile, no sense of humour, and whinged their way through the coffee complaining about various stuck up people on Fab who had turned them down for meets... On one memorable occasion, almost all of the above described one person! Trying to write a veri after that is almost impossible... What do you say (aside from he/she/they turned up!)?? | |||

On one memorable occasion, almost all of the above described one person! Trying to write a veri after that is almost impossible... What do you say (aside from he/she/they turned up!)?? " Oh gods. All sounds too familiar. I want to be clear. I've had a few stellar meets and I'm happy to verify them. Not all of them are gargoyles. And a lot of them were actually just pleasant socials that didn't end up in sex but were great fun anyway. One of my most memorable was meeting one gent a few years back at a Starbucks in the city centre... Except I completely fouled up the address and went to the wrong one. The poor guy was sitting there texting me asking where I was and I thought he was messing me. Eventually I cottoned on and made it after all but our meet was brief. He did get his veri in the end. Another one that sticks out in my mind was one where I met this intriguing fellow with quite a few tantalising pictures on his profile and quite a few reviews. Well, it quickly became obvious after we met that we weren't a good match BUT we had the most hilarious meet venting about the kink scene, the sites we are on, the people who bailed on us, the events we've been to, the weather, the state of the schools today, travel, Catholic priests, food... You name it we talked about it. In terms of sex, our conversation would have been the sexual equivalent of a pansexual gangbang, we were having that much fun. We're both natural debaters so we definitely get along. We reconnected not long after that after I posted one of my adverts for the midday coffee socials and he was the first to show. I think he's going to be quite popular with the ladies so I am thrilled we met all those years ago. So that's largely why I don't give up entirely on this site. I've met some very interesting people, had some fantastic sex and generally I'm much pickier than I was three years ago when I first joined on the advice of one of my lovers. I wish it had been sooner. | |||
