"I'd be very reluctant to meet, it's not hard to get verified- a year is a long time to not even have had a coffee with someone..." It is hard for some of us guys to get our first meet, esp when people rely on veris first... Who wants to go for coffee? | |||

If you're over this way mines a hot chocolate "Thank you, but I'm down the road in Glasgow. I think you'll find, i am hot chocolate  | |||
"What do you think of profiles where it states they have been on over a year,,, and have no pics no verifications,not photo verified and not a site supporter ? Does it send warning signs straight away ?" It's the ones which still have the default "I am a 30 year old straight man and I'm looking to meet women and couples....." or "will fill this in later" that annoy me. If they can't be bothered filling this in after a year what effort are they going to make with chatting or meeting? | |||

" It's the ones which still have the default "I am a 30 year old straight man and I'm looking to meet women and couples....." " Aye, and then they message Me  | |||

"I have no veris, or meets from here, and it doesn't bother me that that is the case. If it bothers others, it is their problem. I just put "elitists" like that on my block list. If I never get a meet because of a lack of veris, I'll lose no sleep. If I do, and someone verifies me, I won't be making it public. I'm not into ego stroking, mine, or anyone elses." | |||

"I dont think looking for veris is elitism... Its more a case of having had their time wasted in the past, people are looking for some sort of indication the person is who they say they are, likely to turn up for a meeting and isnt a dangerous, stabby, rapey mentalist.... " Everybody starts here without veris, even the ones who won't meet anyone who has none. Do you see the paradox? If everyone adopted that philosophy, it would be a very narrow, and, eventually, boring pool of people meeting. Or maybe it already is. So, I maintain, it is an elitist attitude. | |||

The question was posed about people who have been on for a year with no form of verification, not newbies. Ive met newbies that have provided a phone number, chatted on webcam etc.... IE demonstrated they are genuine. I wouldnt meet someone whos not even got photo verified, met a woman/couple for a coffee in over a year and im not vulnerable like a single female would be, so i dont blame them for saying no either.... Its not elitism to put measures in place to stop your time being wasted or ensure your safety. | |||
"I would ask them the reason why no veri after beeing here so long .." Because no one wants to meet someone with no veris  | |||

Yes we all start without any form of verification but most of us manage to find a way to become so. Therefore back to the original point if they hadn't managed to do that in a year then it would put me off meeting them R | |||
"I would ask them the reason why no veri after beeing here so long .. Because no one wants to meet someone with no veris "Everyone has to start somewhere in getting veris so no wat i said if here for over a year with none then id ask why ..then make up my own mind | |||
"I would ask them the reason why no veri after beeing here so long .. Because no one wants to meet someone with no veris "the thing _hav02, if you are genuine, you can get yourself to a social. The organisors are happy to verify you. Also, I have seen several times during my time on here, people posting on the forum, organising a wee social and saying they will be happy to verify newbies who turn up. Don't tell me they can't turn up for a drink at a social in 12 months? or can't take a piece of paper, write a username and get photo-verified? | |||
" Yes we all start without any form of verification but most of us manage to find a way to become so." Indeed | |||

Clearly, you are not getting this part, so I'll put it in large, friendly letters: EVEN THE MOST VERIFIED PERSON ON THE SITE WAS A NEWBIE ONCE. I have no intention of passing over my phone number to a complete stranger on here, or anywhere else. How do I know that the person asking for my number isn't a bunny boiler? How do I know that the person on the other end of the cam isn't a friend/neighbour/colleague/relative? I am not a party person, so I won't be going to clubs or socials. So, just how does someone like me get the essential verification? Anything which excludes others through petty rules is, in my opinion, elitest, maybe I could even use the "C" word. (No, I don't mean c*nt). | |||

"I get it just fine, you dont seem to be getting what everyone else is saying though..... You could go to socials, you dont. You could webcam chat with someone, you dont. You could talk on phone, you dont. You could meet someone for a coffee, you dont. All your choice as is your right, just the same as its anothers right to not meet unverified after a year users.... The sites full of fantasists and timewasters, many folk have had their time wasted in the past. Its up to the newbie to show their different, maybe its not nice at times but its the way of the jungle on fab.... " ... and it's certainly NOT elitist | |||

" Echo all the sexy smart ladies above in this thread... They are not all ladies. "I believe that might be a low blow, toys out the pram dig at me. Way to go, someone disagrees (non abusively) with you have a pop at their gender issues
Sorry 'captain hidden, no meety blanky profile' but you'll have to do better than that to get a rise out of me, especially when ive stated already that "I wouldnt meet unverified after a year members, and wouldnt expect a WOMAN too"
Covering yourself in glory on this thread aren't you?...... carry on | |||
"There is really no excuse for not having a veri. If someone really wants meets from here there are many options for then to achieve that. I would not entertain profiles in over a year with no veris its as simple as that, but I would chat to newbies who are looking for that first meet "Exactly..... just takes a message to say " I understand my lack of verifications may be an issue regarding a meet, would you consider having a coffee/glass of wine somewhere public to see if we get on, and that im genuine, nothing expected or guaranteed"...... | |||
