How much does being verified in person make a difference?

Orpington

Hi guys, first off a massive thanks to everyone that gave me advice previously on my profile, but I'm sad to say I've had no luck since then and have still yet to get a meet.

I've must have messaged at least a 100 women since then (sadly not an exaggeration). It's not even copy and paste messages either as I try and tailor the message to each person.

I start off with a friendly hi, followed by a terrible joke/compliment (if they have a pic on their profile) or even both. :D

But still absolutely nothing to show for my efforts, not even a reply (I know I'm not owed a reply, so let's please not focus on that).

I remember one of the chats where I did get a reply was "sorry not interested," I pushed a little further and asked why and the reason was, because I was not verified by a meet.

So a question to all you ladies/couples, how much does it influence your decision to talk and meet with a single guy if they are unverified by a meet?

Kinda feels like that situation where you apply for a basic job and they need you to have X years experience, despite being an entry level position! XD

I honestly don't think I'll get to see anyone on here if that's the case, although I'm more than happy to be proved wrong.

You’re gonna have to be patient! Takes some men months to get their first meet.

I won’t meet anyone that isn’t verified in person first anymore.

Too many people joined during lockdowns with no intention to use it x

From a woman meeting on her own perspective - having a meet in person verification gives me additional sense of security that you're not a nut-case and are safe to meet.

Doesnt the person doing the verifying have to be verified themselves first?

How does that work if two *or more people meet up but none of them where previously verified?

I'm assuming it doesn't count???

I totally get it, you would rather meet someone that's previously been verified rather than some unknown guy. Sadly that's the catch 22 that I find myself in at the moment. :/

I can only recommend again you get to the clubs. Even if you don’t play the clubs and hosts can give you verifications

Not ideal if you don’t really want to club though! X

Kinda why I asked previously in another topic, I have no idea which are viable clubs to go to in the London/ South East area that a good for single guys and are not hard to travel too.

Also visiting a club by myself is definitely not my idea of a good time. I would prefer if I went with someone I knew, just so it's less daunting and then I could get used to the environment without feeling too much pressure of just jumping in.

Sorry for focusing on the negatives, but last thing I want is to visit a club by myself and feel like I have to chat up every single woman I come across and then become one of those unbearably annoying guys that hassles every women that comes through the door. :P

See if there are being any socials organised you could attend. It could be an alternative to a club.

I think you have a point. I was contemplating silver as a trial to be fair. Its only a fiver and besides that I've nothing to lose really. And I am enjoying talking to people on the forums regardless!

I have looked through there a few times, but it's just reviews that quite often mention how annoying the single guys are, so not a really good scope of finding out what's a good club for me as a single guy to try visiting.

Head over to silverleigh or eurekas mate. Both nice places, and my experience is that single chaps are not treated as lesser humans at all.

Look at their websites, and pick your night sensibly as I think both do couple only nights.

Get chatting, and go with the expectation that you will still walk away with heavy balls... the purpose of your fist visit is to meet, chat and scope stuff out!

Good luck and enjoy!

You're a good looking bloke, don't let this site get you down.

The last 16 months have been covid ravaged so pointless for anything.

Verifications won't guarantee you meets. I'd meet you for a coffee and a veri but I'm too far away. Maybe try meeting women via other ways. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice! Was looking at Eureka's, but have recently sold the car so not easy to get to now.

Not heard of silverliegh?

Also any advice on how to approach the night? from a first timer and a single guy point of view?

You can get Cam verified if needs be. But as already mentioned verifications don’t guarantee anything on here.

The only really successful meets I’ve ever had on this site was due to meeting at clubs. For example I literally got a message when I got home from a guy who’d seen me at the club but was too shy to approach me. Another time at a well known swingers B&B.

A couple came to my flat as we talked previously in a club and asked for a social, so I invited them over.

This site you’ll always be one of many but at a social or club, you’ll be one of whoever is attending, for me those odds are a lot better.

Wow that actually means a lot to me, thank you very much!

Kinda feel like I'm most likely going to meet someone on here by act of Providence. -_-

Or you know I gather the courage to try visiting a club solo. :P

Eureka s in Kent - recommended - as it happens there are not as many clubs in the south east as the population needs .... compared to either Birmingham or Manchester

Kestrels near Heathrow had plenty of people from far and wide - although I’ve not been to the new one personally

Totally agree - get to a club .... have fun and get verified

Silverleigh is in seven oaks, and public transport will probably drop you close to the door!

Everyone is different, every night is different, so what may work tonight may not the following week.. but..

For my money, I would suggest hanging in the cafe area... talk to people or chip in when room wide conversations are happening.

If you smoke, you will be among a smaller group of people in closer proximity, and maybe easier to strike up a chat.

Don't hang around people that engage you in conversation for too long, look for cues that the conversation is over (or indeed if lucky, cues that they are interested in seeing what more your mouth can do rather than talk), give space, be friendly.

Go chill in the spa area... again, join in or start a conversation over the fog of steam etc etc.

Don't over think it, and don't put pressure on yourself to be perfect. Just go and have a different but fun evening than one sat in front of the laptop!

Hey I’m the chat rooms, have some conversations and get to some clubs.

If you’re a gentleman and respectful, the verifications and meets will follow.

I see one of your concerns being verified.

You know that your able to get verified via cam on the site, an opportunity for you.

As for the rest you have to remember we all have our own preferences and need to respect each others we can't always have what we'd like. But don't let this be an obstacle, your approach seems ok and it's probably given to the wrong people who you don't fit in their criteria.

Try mingling on cam I'm not saying it wouldn't work or would but the possibilities to explore and hopefully bring you a positive experience to fulfill your requirements.

They'll be single guys at all club

Just don't be an annoying one that follows the couples and single landlord around all night

Be respectful, chat, go with no expectations & you might be pleasantly surprised

A lot of the time you'll see the sand people there each week/month and we tend to find in a club environment we tend to play with someone on the second / third told of meeting them, they are also generally the shyest people in the room so just because you may think you haven't caught someone attention doesn't mean your not on their radar, we'd go for the quiet guy over the in your face wants to be our best friend guy

Going to clubs is good fun too. You get to actually know people in person and it a great way to make new friends.

There's even a person whose already replied this thread I've seen at a club. So that goes to show you'll get to know a lot of people by going.

I haven't had a meet in a long time, not for trying though, older you get the more outside ties there are which restrict availability.

Advice I would give from my past when younger without a child at home and meets were much easier to get.

1. Go to social events and get to know people face to face.

2. Go to a club (more than once) as this can really give you 'references'

3. Be able to accommodate

4. Have excellent hygiene

Thanks for the advice ObiWanKenobi(love the name by the way!) And I'll try and do 1 & 2.

As for 3, I can be accomodating, I just can't accommodate at the moment and for number 4, psh! of course that's a given.

Keep an eye out for organised socials in your area. Best way for newbies to the scene to meet each other. Check if the local clubs have party nights where you can put your name down on a list to attend rather than have to join as a member. Always introduce yourself to the hosts and ask for help as a newbie. Most are really nice and helpful and could introduce you to regulars. Get to clubs and socialise. Mainly be polite, cheerful, hygienic and remember that no means no. At the clubs, hang around the bar, food table if one, Jacuzzis etc. Most folks are happy to chat there. Hope this helps, Cat.

"You’re gonna have to be patient! Takes some men months to get their first meet.

I think I've past the year mark already, don't get me wrong I have been as patient as possible, just absolutely confidence destroying. :/ "

And during the past year, nobody has been meeting because of a global pandemic.

Some people are still not comfortable with meeting again just yet.

Don't get too hung up on the verification thing.

Yes, many won't meet unverified people, but some do, so focus on that.

The more you worry about getting that verification, the less likely it is it will happen, because your focus becomes the verification and when people you're communicating with get wind that this is your focus, they'll be less likely to want to meet you, because they will feel that you are only interested in them in order to get your green tick.

Sadly, I'm getting the impression that your expectations of fab when you joined were not very realistic.

You need to be patient.

The more you give off the vibe that you'll meet absolutely anyone and are obsessed with getting verified, the more you will come across as desperate and your chances of getting a meet fall to zero

Site supporter? You mean the gold/silver membership thing?

If so? It's made no difference so far! XD

I would say it makes you slightly more credible/genuine as your prepared to pay for the site but as it's only pennies I think it's kind of pointless, I think a charge of £20 would clear the site of most of the time wasters "

Totally agree, if Men won’t spend £5 for 60 days silver site supporter are they really going to drive 40 miles, book a hotel and buy the drinks for the lovely couple ??

"I haven't had a meet in a long time, not for trying though, older you get the more outside ties there are which restrict availability.

Advice I would give from my past when younger without a child at home and meets were much easier to get.

1. Go to social events and get to know people face to face.

2. Go to a club (more than once) as this can really give you 'references'

3. Be able to accommodate

4. Have excellent hygiene

Thanks for the advice ObiWanKenobi(love the name by the way!) And I'll try and do 1 & 2.

As for 3, I can be accomodating, I just can't accommodate at the moment and for number 4, psh! of course that's a given. "

I can't speak for others, but I don't think it's any coincidence that as soon as I got verified for the first time I got more interest from people.

And to be fair, that first time only came about because the lady I played with (and still play with occasionally) had had a no show and was rightly complaining about it in her status. I messaged to say I'd fill the void, she agreed and over to hers I went for a sexy evening.

That one piece of good fortune seems to have opened the door for me.

I can only relate my truth mate.

Marty will be fine if he sticks at it. He's a young 'un so he's got loads of time. I think he may want to consider getting to a social or a club though as that'll increase his chances.

By the way, to those who mention the ability to accommodate, there are many reasons why this is not always possible.

For example, I rent a room and although my landlady is ok in principle about me bringing women back to the house, we currently have her daughter staying with us which makes it impossible until she moves out which should be in the next couple of months.

It doesn't necessarily mean the guy is married.

I don't actually check if someone's verified, I go by how we interact on here and whether there's a spark.

Then move to a chat on phone before arranging a social meet, wouldn't make it a big deal so if they didn't turn up its no big deal. You seem a decent person and come across well on this thread, I'm sure someone nearby could meet socially with you at some point.

It is!

I can only recommend again you get to the clubs. Even if you don’t play the clubs and hosts can give you verifications

Not ideal if you don’t really want to club though! X

Kinda why I asked previously in another topic, I have no idea which are viable clubs to go to in the London/ South East area that a good for single guys and are not hard to travel too.

Also visiting a club by myself is definitely not my idea of a good time. I would prefer if I went with someone I knew, just so it's less daunting and then I could get used to the environment without feeling too much pressure of just jumping in.

Sorry for focusing on the negatives, but last thing I want is to visit a club by myself and feel like I have to chat up every single woman I come across and then become one of those unbearably annoying guys that hassles every women that comes through the door. :P"

Hahaha! Don’t worry mate, there’ll be more single women comment on this thread, than you’ll see in a club!

Having actual meet verifications does help, and getting the first one is always the most difficult, but you just have to be patient. A lot of people still aren’t meeting due to the pandemic, and many are only meeting within their ‘bubbles’. It will happen though, just keep being the best you you can be, and enjoy the banter in the forums, more people read your comments in here than you realise……

Bloody hell that's a lot responses! Gonna try and reply to them all in one post. :P


"The more you worry about getting that verification, the less likely it is it will happen, because your focus becomes the verification and when people you're communicating with get wind that this is your focus, they'll be less likely to want to meet you, because they will feel that you are only interested in them in order to get your green tick."


"Sadly, I'm getting the impression that your expectations of fab when you joined were not very realistic."


"You need to be patient."


"The more you give off the vibe that you'll meet absolutely anyone and are obsessed with getting verified, the more you will come across as desperate and your chances of getting a meet fall to zero"

Just before I reply to this, just gonna say sorry in advance, I re-read through what I've written and even though it's a bit ranty, I believe I should keep it as is, as it's got some genuine feelings behind it and might explain where I'm coming from.

Yeah I can understand people not wanting to meet during the pandemic lockdown period, but I was signed up a fair bit before that and have been on and off the website since.

Usually leaving after I hit my peak tolerance of being rejected or ignored, I have been extremely patient, I have never gotten angry or insulted anyone either for the rejections.

But every time someone tells me to be patient (who is verified, hasn't been on here as long as I have or is unverified and has already meet loads of people already), it does come off as extremely condescending.

Over a year (possibly a lot more given how long I originally signed up on here) and nothing? And the advice of wait longer would imply waiting a week? A month? A year?

It just sucks being repeatedly told to be patient, when I have been. As for the other piece if advice of what everyone has said about keeping an eye open for events or trying a club I'll take it to heart and try those.

As for wanting the green tick, I don't want the tick, I just wanted to make a few close friends with similar interests and maybe a fwb, couldn't care less about being verified if I could achieve that goal. Sadly that seems highly unlikely without it.

Once again sorry for the ranty reply, hopefully it didn't come off as ill-tempered or unappreciative as you raised some solid points.


"It doesn't make you more attractive, just more likely to turn up "

Yeah I never quite understood that mindset from a guy, you've managed to get a meet and now you're gonna bail? Madness! :D


"#3 : Does your wife know your on here Marty ? "

Recently single, moved back in with the family, so yeah I'm not bringing anyone home with me. :P

Also I wouldn't be on here if I was in a relationship, unless she was also up for swinging.


"I can't speak for others, but I don't think it's any coincidence that as soon as I got verified for the first time I got more interest from people."


"And to be fair, that first time only came about because the lady I played with (and still play with occasionally) had had a no show and was rightly complaining about it in her status."

It's cool, I found the info quite useful, thanks Dave!


"I don't actually check if someone's verified, I go by how we interact on here and whether there's a spark."


"Then move to a chat on phone before arranging a social meet, wouldn't make it a big deal so if they didn't turn up its no big deal."


"You seem a decent person and come across well on this thread, I'm sure someone nearby could meet socially with you at some point, good luck "

Appreciate the advice Aimee and thanks! Fingers crossed someone eventually takes an interest in me and finally gives me that yes, when I ask.


"Lots of good replies on here, but please don’t push for a reason on why someone says no, they don’t have to justify why."

That is true and I didn't try to come off nasty or anything when I asked. If I remember right I asked, if it was ok to ask if there was anything I said or if there was something about my profile that put her off, not as a why but so I could tweak my profile or change my approach to first messages and she kindly but abruptly told me that me being unverified was the reason. :/

Phew! I think that's all of them, thanks again to everyone above for the insights and suggestions.

As I mentioned previously I honestly don't want the verification and would love it if I can get by without it, as I would prefer to just make some friends on here and hopefully one very good fwb.

Not a huge amount. Although not saying they aren't helpful to us. We take people as we find them. And as we wouldn't jump into bed until we got the measure of them in person. We figure we'll be the judge of if they're right for us or not. Speaking as guy who was active as a single guy we all start out without a verification in the first place. So I guess the first woman I met on here was likewise more interested in sizing me up for her self rather verification history.

OP. You don't need to go to a club. I would recommend going to one if your local swingers social events. Search on the forums to see what's local to you . It's a nice chilled out atmosphere as there's no play allowed as they are usually held in a pub that has a function room . I've had some great socials. Call it networking and get chatting with like minded people. Who knows what will happen . The rest is up to you. Good look and hope all goes well for you on your fab journey

"Hi guys, first off a massive thanks to everyone that gave me advice previously on my profile, but I'm sad to say I've had no luck since then and have still yet to get a meet.

I've must have messaged at least a 100 women since then (sadly not an exaggeration). It's not even copy and paste messages either as I try and tailor the message to each person.

I start off with a friendly hi, followed by a terrible joke/compliment (if they have a pic on their profile) or even both. :D

But still absolutely nothing to show for my efforts, not even a reply (I know I'm not owed a reply, so let's please not focus on that).

I remember one of the chats where I did get a reply was "sorry not interested," I pushed a little further and asked why and the reason was, because I was not verified by a meet.

So a question to all you ladies/couples, how much does it influence your decision to talk and meet with a single guy if they are unverified by a meet?

Kinda feels like that situation where you apply for a basic job and they need you to have X years experience, despite being an entry level position! XD

I honestly don't think I'll get to see anyone on here if that's the case, although I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. "

Mate. This site is no good for you. You are better going on a dating site. That way both you and the woman are in the same position. I went on one and ended up getting married to a beautiful girl so it does work. You just need the confidence.

"You can get Cam verified if needs be. But as already mentioned verifications don’t guarantee anything on here.

The only really successful meets I’ve ever had on this site was due to meeting at clubs. For example I literally got a message when I got home from a guy who’d seen me at the club but was too shy to approach me. Another time at a well known swingers B&B.

A couple came to my flat as we talked previously in a club and asked for a social, so I invited them over.

This site you’ll always be one of many but at a social or club, you’ll be one of whoever is attending, for me those odds are a lot better.

Plenty people on here have no intention of meeting they are like the keyboard warriors of Facebook.

I used to have spells where I would have social meets in town on an afternoon.

A coffee while I was out anyway, so as not to really waste my time.

It proves a) you are real and b) that you show up when you say you will....which are two of the major challenges on here for any kind of profile. Being one single male profile in a sea of them it is a definite plus to have recent meet veris. As a couple we would want those veris to include meets with couples.

I also have some thoughts on your profile if you're interested? Not that mine is particularly good. Anyway, DM me and happy to share "

Hi well angled, don't think we can do the DM thing as we both have our filters set against that.

But happy to hear thoughts on here, might help anyone else having trouble as well.

Ooops, silly me. Have removed filter if you do want to message. If I don't hear from you, will happily post here. But of course, everyone is different - what I think makes a good profile is probably totally wrong. As my current tongue-in-cheek one shows

Ok, first I wanted to say that from your posts you seem like a genuinely decent guy - thoughtful, respectful and someone I reckon it'd be fun to have a drink with.

In my opinion (and again, it's just that) - this isn't reflected in your profile. I would also say to be mindful of the 100s of men for every woman so make sure your profile stands out (ie by reflecting you since we're all unique) and don't waste words.

On that latter point, the first paragraph is a waste - it doesn't matter if you're back. Or at least why does it matter? If you're new to the scene cos although you've wanted to explore you couldn't, then say that. Not just that you're fresh out a long relationship. If that's the first thing you say about you, I'd worry you're not over it.

The second paragraph. I dunno. I always think if a bloke feels the need to mention he has a big dick, then he probably thinks that's all there is to being a good fuck. Not saying you do think that but that's the impression I get. Chat to someone for a bit till they ask to see your cock then give them the pleasant surprise.

Third paragraph just feels like too much explanation. Just leave it for the profile info below. Mention you're single sure but after that, you don't need to explain why you can't accomodate.

Next two paragraphs are great but instead of saying sexual bucket list (which makes it sound like you only care about ticking them off not someone else' pleasure), say what you want to try.

6th para is repetitive and don't mention kik or whatsapp. it's too early for how you'll chat - just chat

The next one about guys - I get it. But don't mention it, just block as you have. No need to tell them to stop. Just sounds like you're insecure to me. And I'm sure you're not really.

Sorry if all that sounds harsh. It isn't. Like I say - you sound like a decent guy. Just be you and relax and sure you'll be fine!

And yes, I know my profile is a bit crap - I had a more serious one but just playing with a silly one at the mo. All advice back more than welcomed! Original bio for ref:

I approach life with a smile on my face and try to leave happy vibes wherever I go. I’m relaxed, easy to talk to, very sex positive and have a filthy mind but equally I'm always respectful - no unsolicited dick pics from me. Ever. I’ve had some amazing experiences and am secure in who I am and what I like but I'm here to experiment with like-minded women and couples. A connection is vital to me - for me, sex starts in the mind.

I'm incurably curious and love to chat to new people and find out what makes them tick irrespective of whether they're new to the lifestyle or more experienced. I’m very open and honest so feel free to ask me anything!

Your profile tells me everything I need to know OP.

Thanks for the kind words Well Angled and if there's ever a social event happening where we can have a drink and a chat, feel free to give me a shout.

I've taken onboard everything you said and made some edits to the profile, sorry if some words seem to be copied from your example, but they seemed to be good descriptors that applied to me and I legitimately couldn't think of alternatives that wouldn't come off as sounding wrong or out of place.

The only part I won't take out, is the reason for why I can't accommodate, as some lovely ladies in a previous thread I made, mentioned they would rather know why, I couldn't accommodate. Although its a case of you can't meet everyone's tastes so I just decided it would be best to keep it in, as I prefer being upfront and transparent with people.

As for the rest, all done and re-edited, so thank you very much for the advice, its greatly appreciated!

"Your profile tells me everything I need to know OP."

Hopefully in a good way, but I've gone ahead and made some edits as I'm always open to suggestions.

Very glad I could be of some help. Profile looks great (and makes sense about the accommodation explanation). Hope you find what you're looking for!

I prefer to see a veri, as it shows me they have met before. I've had some really bad experiences with unverified fellas. And found some real gems! I am trying not to tar everyone with the same brush.

Sorry to hear about that and it is fair enough as it is from your previous experience. Just hope I can get someone to roll the dice and meet with me, even if it's just a social coffee/drink thing.

The vast majority are fake!

Varied or not means very little.

Bit late to the party here, but I'd just jump in & go to a club.

Don't even worry about the verification thing - chat to people with no expectations, and get a handle on what YOU actually want. You'll see first hand what a wide variety of people there are & the different interests everyone has and maybe something more will come of it..

I'd also say if the idea of going to a club on your own is a little daunting, just think how you'll feel meeting a couple on your own - no place to hide there, so it's actually a good thing to get comfortable with..

Good luck!

OP, go to one of the organised socials that happen around London. You'll come out of them with a bunch of verifications, and can also discover a whole other side to swinging that's just as important as the sex.

If you look in the London forum there are currently threads running for socials in Bromley, Croydon and Bank. No date yet for the latter, but Bromley and Croydon are both next month.

(And veris are definitely something we pay attention to!)

For me, I don't care for veri's. Had them on a previous profile, and they caused nothing but drama and headache!! So this time round I don't want any (if to my detriment, so be it).

If someone doesn't want to take it that I am who I say I am, especially if they can't be arsed to take the time to find out, then what have I lost?! Nothing.

Honestly OP, there's some genuine pearls of wisdom above, but don't get hung up on not being veri'd, it'll come if you want it and put the effort in to get it.

We ignore all verifications and use our own judgement.
