Hi,looking through peoples info etc, the simple "verified/not verified" at what time limit do you give unverified folks and decide its "fake" or a guy "at it"?

3months, i give you, especially as a couple 3 months to at least get verified over the phone else its 99% sure your a bloke with super sexy pics,so cynical at this lark aint i,lol?

thats the exact same way we look at it also,anyone who cant be verified within that time normally has friends list the length of your arm, and loooking to add you to it.

I have seen a few apparent single girls in the room, been members for months with no verification, no Pic verification yet the guys are in a frenzy to ask them to meet up.

One would think that after several months there would be at least one verification?

It's tough for a single guy to contact people on here even if you have been verified, people think your at it. Until they meet you or a friend of there's has. I'm going to a few socials over the next few weeks so hopefully make a few new friends. X

I think if someone's been on here for a number of months, but have no verifications and there's nothing in there profile to say that, for instance, they're not actually meeting, then asking them why is a very valid question.

And if they get snotty about you asking, then maybe you've got your answer!

its a toughy tbh

Only through sheer luck have i managed to get verified , kate wasnt really an issue as she has a cam etc , i dont and mostly use the mobile when out and about , and its sfair to say that you dont get many if any offering up a chat on the phone just to verify you .

Thankfully i know a girl on here from elsewhere and she kindly verified me.

I suppose the fantasy is meeting folks and having loads of fun with like minded folks but sadly reality tends to get in the way

You can't always rely on verifications... I queried a couple who had no veris icon on their profile despite having been here for over a year, and suddenly within an hour they had a 'verified by others' icon up and supporters membership.... makes you wonder eh? xxx

we didnt verify for ages because we didnt want anyone to know who we met - discretion, secrecy, total anonimity etc is a big buzz for us - until a very nice lady told me you could hide the details! Duh!!

So, Nice Lady added a verfication for us and since then one or two people have added really nice unsolicited notes to our list. We still keep them hidded though. Verifications do help I guess, but we dont use them to decide who we meet, or dont - its our own opinion that matters most to us!

We treat the friends list differently since we like to look, and be looked at. We dont collect or share pics, but its nice to know when peeps have nice things to say about the ones on show!

havent really thought about it.

We must have been here more than three months so we better get verified soon! Anyone wanna call us

As long as they have a verified pic then thats good enough for us. If they havent bothered to do that then we prob wouldnt even reply.

to be photo verified is all you need on your profile, that then says that you are the sex, or the couple that you say you are.

I think its a little arsey when people moan when they see other profiles who havent got thier verifications on thier page. Some folk are just a little more private than others. Also, i dont think its fair to ask questions of people who do not rush into thier first fabswingers meet.

"Im no too sure even a look this pic really is me verification is very reassuring, cant beat reading one or two nifty meet verifications,

The idea of the photo verification is for a member (couple,guy,gal,fugy) to send in a pic of them holding a piece of paper with their profile name on and fabswingers written on it.

Site admin will review these pics and give the status of pic verified to the profile.

Obviously, this type of veri doesnt give any sort of indication to the personallity of the member but least it should prove that they are real people (unless they ask someone in the street to hold up a piece of paper with basically im a swinger written on it, lol).

Same as veri's by phone or cam. Phone veri's can be good to show that at least there is a female present on the profile and web cam veri's can show the same plus be able to indicate that the pics are genuinly of the couple seen on cam.

verifications

my point with verifications is

phone chat dont prove nothin u could be talking to tom dick or harry

or even mary

cam dosent prove nothing just there is a person there but who

now verifications should be made only after meeting now that proves they are real

Photo verification only proves they are a couple, male or female.......nothing more.

Also wary of cam and phone verifications.

My view is the social or play meet verifications go a long way.

Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote or View forums list

 

By (user no longer on site)  over a year ago

social and meet verifications are a catch 22 tho

Most wont meet unless folks are verified , you cant get verified without a meet !!

All in all i think you have to trust your own instincts more than anything else.

A little bit of trust can go a long way , sure you will call things wrong from time to time but in my opinion there is no hard and fast rule to follow

If it feels good ? Go for it , verified or not

Seriously, I think there are plenty of people who spend a long time watching and working out how the whole online swinging scene works, after joining the site. I've met people without verifications, and of course they in turn can't verify you - and others who don't want to verify you as that removes their anonymity.

when we all join we are unverified and a verified person/couple likes the way we chat/message/behave and agrees to meet up for either coffee or a sexual meet... they trusted their instincts... why don't we trust ours now we are verified...

you can suss timewasters a mile away to be honest....

and if you don't first time... you soon will..

and if you get your time wasted, hey ho, annoying but nothing like dodging bombs and bullets in afganistan... hardly worth losing sleep over..

I'd say deffo after 3 months and if they havent met anyone, well something is kinda 'iffy'.

Having said that though, we been back from our travels for nearly 3 months and not met a soul yet! Someone verify me at the weekend! PURLEASE.

well said. That's the boat were in. Just looking around and chatting to a few folk. Not really had that much intrest and not really that bothered to be honest. We where going to go chat to some folk on cam next week when we are both off work and hopefully get verified. But now that seems rather pointless as the swinging hierarchy seem to deem these as pointless verifications. So were doomed as we have passed the 3 month limit without verification so are defo iffy

i agree after a certain time if not verified put them off site far to many people been on here over a yr without any verications or there not here to meet just for chat as there is more sites for them to go and chat after all this is for swinging

After thinking about it I don't think us swines without verification should be banned. That's not very nice. But we should be activly encouraged to cancel our membership and leave this place for the hardened swingers.

So what should we set the limit to 6 months? 1 year? A year seems a bit long.

Not sure how long we have been on here. Think we joined in July. So fast approaching a 6 month limit. But we will lead by example and stop clogging this place up and leave it for folk like you.

I dont see phone or cam verifications as pointless at all, they have a place if done in the right way, obvioulsy not as good as a meet in person verification.

I have seen webcam veri's that say "saw this brilliant couple on cam, nice, relaxed, good to talk to" etc etc. Sorry but a cam verification in my eyes should just be to say that those seen on cam, are those seen in the pictures.

Only a meet in person verification can be seen as a way to see what people are like in person in a swinging/sexual enviroment.

We will only verify people by cam to get them started and we will only say in the text that we seen him/her/them on cam, nothing more.

Jeez give the peeps a break! we all start off unverified, it takes time and a little effort to get verified.

I see no harm in starting off with phone and cam veris as long as it's stated thats what they are, they to me are like temporary verifications till you can get in a social or actual swinging meet.

They can be removed as and when you become more experienced and gain more meets and verifications.

Not everyone has time in their busy workaday lives to stop and have a coffee meet or a social meet 3 times a week, but please don't be putting 3 month time limits on them, ffs you can be working flat out and that's gone in no time!

LOL, the first veri on this account was from Mr44 and read "met steve a few times he's real and he'ds a big lad lol lol lol and ah dont mean in his troosers lol".... was enough to get the green tick etc.

For some reason I dont display it on profile now, lol

Imho, the problem isn't so much that people have been on for months without being verified.

The problem is what people put on their profile, and the fact that a lot of folk seem unable to think and honestly write what their situation is.

There are a load of profiles on here, supposedly the people are keen to meet, yet after being on for months thay have no verifications. Now if that's because they're actually just looking around, chatting etc, then fine, but why not do the simple thing and say that???

If i can illustrate the point, i meesage a hot lookin couple, they reply,within a very short space of time im being diverted to another chat type server*, then being shown hot sexy pics of "wife", then i start as title says "alarm bells ringing", "this is going too well, she is fantastic,why am i being treated to this erotic delight"?

So i click back to this wonderfull couples profile and been on 8 months and zero verifications or any indicator of genuine, yet on and on they/he goes,even offered to listen to her via webcam to "hubby" in an erotic meet with guys elsewhere in europe "a porno on pc" perhaps?

To cap it all, she was to call ohhh god nearly forgotten,lol, this time last week, you see why now maybe its relative to the cynical attitude to long term unverified, im not dissmissing the everest that is gaining nice verifications when new, not tarring all with same brush, i just sometimes see how it adds up.

We really only meet after having a chat on cam. Always surprised at the number of unverified people, looking to meet us who don't have a cam and aren't willing to invest in one (as they aren't expensive at all). Surely it's a simple way for them to verify themselves?

we must have been on the site for over a year without being verified. With one thing or another we just didn't meet up with anyone as we had very limited windows of opportunity for meeting. Circumstances are different now so meeting is no problem but i think its a bit negative to set a "time limit" on getting verified before being branded a timewaster or faker. Or maybe we are exceptions to the general rule (general not hard and fast) as for the photo thing we are just busy, lazy, technophobes or just hideously ugly. make up your own minds my friends

Being new here and without any meets arranged from this site yet, we decided to get a cam in order to prove genuinity of some kind!

A quick hello on the phone helps too. Totally agree that there are too many fakes out there but you get used to "ing" them out (after about 5 mins lol)

Dont agree there should be a time limit on meet verifications tho!

Nope, never said "should" be a time limit, i just mean its a time scale reasonable for anyone to at least do a simple phone verification if as is understandable new to site/scene and gettin familiar with it,that adds up, i also get the 100% anonimity choice and opt for no verifications,but no verifications after for example 6 months doews as thread says set "alarm bells ringing".

Alarm bells certainly rang the other night when a certain single fem asked me to verify her in order that we could have a meet. i said but ive never met or spoke to you but no problem we can chat on phone and sort it out hmm long story cut short no reply to mail. On looking at her profile 10 mins later woosh a verification out the blue and guess what i got blocked ha ha, geez ye gota love em eh. and the single guys get the stick eh.

Get some single guys to join us,even better single guys who proudly state in their interests,,"Partys, group sex and gid auld gang bangs", invite guys with "Meet today" on their profile? Ohh thats gotta make the search a bit easier surely,lol, nae danger, its like pulling teeth, "How many other folk are going", "whats each and everyones profile name please?", "is there an ms,,, i can interogate them on first"?
