"In your opinion, what stands out as a fake profile?
I have a single male messaging me and I’m just not sure???
Look too good to be true........  "
Its difficult to tell as some of the most verified profiles turn out to be timewasters so its swings and roundabouts |

Ask for a specific verification picture hold a paper with time and date on showing his face whilst holding a daffodil. My friend is on another site and she often gets asked for verification pics much to her chagrin. |

Is your not sure ask for a photo of him doing something specific like holding 2 fingers up. I got caught out once by someone who was photo verified but had them put fake pictures on here |

"How do you do a reverse image?? "
If you used Google chrome to open fab on on, click on image and there is an option to reverse image. Or save image and check on Yandex or Tineye. Its not infalable but I find between Google and Yandex you find many of the public Internet pics that have been stolen to use on here |

Its a difficult one to answer as most male profiles tend to be 'genuine' in at least as much as they are a male at least. Unlike many Couples and Female ones of course.
I often find a 'gut' feeling speaks volumes and you're obviously unsure on this one so that might answer your question.
However, there are clues to be had on a profile: Green flag? Veri's? If he has posted his veri's then check out the other people who have verified him. If they've many and a green flag too and their veri's have the same then chances are he's for real. If these don't 'check out' then again your hunch might be correct.
The last thing is, like others have suggested, get him to do a selfie in front of say a News Channel with random object or piece of paper. If he's really keen to meet you he'll play ball. And it acts as a in-joke between you and can be an icebreaker. |

"Reverse image search if you can, or ask for a pic of him doing something like touching his nose with his finger."
Reversed images via Yandex or whatever is an excellent idea. And it has certainly 'outed' a few fakes in my time on here.
However, its not conclusive sadly. My main fuckbuddy on here - Jellytotz - doesn't have many pictures on her profile anymore as many she posted on here (and some I had on this one here) got pinched and posted on amateur porn sites. This had the effect of people - unsure if she was real of course - reverse imaging her pics and accusing her of being fake and 'pinching' porn star pics!
So its sadly not an exact science. Still worth a check though! |

A few things stand out for us...
New profile and within an hour they have two hidden veris.
Pictures too good to be true and findable on the image search.
We also look at peoples veris and then their veris and so on.
More often than not you come across lots of profiles that aren’t photo verified verifying other accounts that also aren’t photo verified. |

No green verification flag.
Anything with "hook me up" in it.
Sometimes lots of face pics,I know some genuine members do put face pics up,but when there's lots and no green flag...that makes me doubt the genuinity,probably some hubby putting wife/gf pics on for some kind of personal kick. |

"There's a Lady who messages and winks us who looks to good to be true. Reverse image shows "she's" an American Model.
Oh gosh ! "
Yeah. The reverse imaging works great. Although I personally know profiles on here that are real yet still choose to grab an image off the internet. |

How do you do a reverse Google image search?"
in my browser you click on the picture and then a menu pops up including a reverse search option |

I've found that a few who are too good to be true actually are too good...and true.
Damn, arrange to meet for a drink and find out!
worst case scenario--you have a drink alone. With lockdown ending, doesn't seem a bad situation????? |

"She's" got a couple of verifications from well verified profiles too. Shame on real Swingers swapping fake veris. "She's" not a Wife from Birmingham, "She's" an American Model and Instagram star! |

Could be something like this going on .. the article is about the trading of nude pics to ultimately con men on sites like this but if images are as easily available it wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility that a guy might do it for some attention

there are a few ways to find out reverse image does work but if they have stolen the pic from net and cropped it etc it doesnt work ask them for a verification pic as suggested above mostly though its hidden in their profile if they sound to good to be true then dig deeper dont be afraid to ask them questions tough ones if they are false then they they will probally block you anyway |

When someone gets angry after you say no to something they want it is very telling.
An easy way to find out would be to have a brief video call for verification if that is possible and feels comfortable. The surerest way of course is to meet in person in bright daylight for a coffee with no expectations when possible. |

"Still can’t work out the reverse search thing ! We view fab on mobile. Can you do it on there ??"
You just save the photo you’re checking on your photo ... google reverse image search (there are a few sites that do it) then upload the photo. The sites with search the internet to see if the photo is anywhere else .... |

Ha you are taking about me cheeky!! I sent you lots of pics all of me . I am also verified but as I rejoined after lockdown fab doesnt allow me to display. Maybe someone who knows its me will confirm for you ??
I wasn't at all rude when you kept accusing me of being fake I simply said theres no more I can do and wished you all the best xx

I'm always skeptical, fit looking, good looking lad messages me my Spidey senses are on full blast and I Google and reverse search as much as I can, a lot of that is self issues and confidence on my part and thinking it must be too good to be true |

"Reverse image search if you can, or ask for a pic of him doing something like touching his nose with his finger.
What’s a reverse image?"
It's when you can check images/pics online to see if they have been taken from the internet. As I said earlier on the thread and others there are a few ways of doing it. Its not infallible but shows many pics that you feel are too good to be true that they are taken from the internet. Fake pics that aren't of them and no permission to use are against site rules so report them. |

^^^^^^^^ This
Get him to do something unusual and ask him to photo it and send it direct to you. No excuses from him. If he makes excuses as to why he can't take photo...you have your answer...FAKE |

It’s so easy to spot .... if the pictures looks too good to be true ie if the guy look like Greek god and she looks like a model and still the profile showing zero verification - it’s a total give away...
