Anti cat fish group? 30-40% fake profiles???

What's everyone think of the sheer number of fake profiles popping up
I think it would be a good idea if real people recommended or introduced other real people "hey xxxxx I think you'd like xxxxx"
It ruins the character and integrity of the site. First series of messages is just trying to find out if each other is a real person as neither party want the cat fishes seeking them our publicly. Wastes time and is causing so many people (due to discretion and careers) to hide their pictures away and put up the barriers.
Just as in a club, it's all good, like minded people. I'd imagine if I saw my neighbour, they wouldn't mention it either.. kinda like an unwritten trust or understanding
But... I've scanned abiut 40% of female profiles to be fake. Not a clue about the men's, I'd imagine it to be worse.
Now, it's no longer a place where like minded people can openly communicate and comfortably show who they are because almost half the site are not like minded people because they are fake.
It's no wonder that plenty of fish and tinder seem to be where more people are getting more "encounters" .. yes, they have their hooker and fakes issues (not as bad) but nobody is afraid to show who they are because it's just a dating site (one which they use for sexual encounters).. if you're a school teacher on fab and a parent or sixth former finds you.. you've lost your job! And even if you didn't, you could never hold your head up in a classroom again

1. What makes you think that people don't already recommend people to others? (I do, my partners do).
2. How do you determine if someone is a fake profile? Just wondering, since my profile and my couples profile often get called 'fake' when we turn men down. |

This. 
Although I agree it's wrong you're allowed to be on tinder but be on Fab and everyone loses their minds. |

Yep in my not-so-large experience of the swinging world real-life recommendations happen a fair bit. When you get friendly with swingers you get invites to socials, threesomes and moresomes, and pointed to/matched with compatible others. However you are primarily looking for one-on-one with women, and in this dynamic the "swinging community" model doesn't apply so well. |

"I get about 3 messages a day asking for a verification in return for pussy pics (obviously, I'm not 13 any more so decline) "
But your not meet verified so can not verify anyone! |

You must attract 'em.
In all my time here I've never had one ask for a veri that didn't earn it...not a solitary person.

"I think the verification does this.
Asking others about others "may" lead to the possibility of abuse."
This. We've been 'recommended' before but also had shit spread about us, so it's a double edged sword. |

"Perhaps they should delete single male profile who have been on over a year and not meet verified  "
What about single female profiles? I'm more suspicious if they don't have a verification to be honest. It's easy for a woman to get verified. It's far harder for men, so understandable if they don't have one even after a year |

Although I agree with last point totally, the first one is unlikely or would invlove a pretty decent payoff. |

I joined fab and very quickly met a lovely lady, a few months later had a social with a couple and we are planning to meet up again soon, apart from that it's been very quiet but the more you're on fab and interacting the more likely a meet will be in my opinion, although you soon learn that just because it's on fab doesn't mean it's real!!! |

That's nice!
We're not all here for meets!"
note the smiley face it was directed at the OP over a year and no verifications, to many that would shout out fake |

How do these 'fake men's profiles that you mention work? Are they really hot 18 year old women hiding behind a cock picture?
I'd also be interested how you conclude 40% of females are fake - how are you quantifying that? |

I had one of these. It was laughable. I don't really bother too much with veris.

It's pretty clear you are looking at this from the perspective of a single man looking to get laid. Arguably that's not swinging which is why the other resources you mention tend to favour single people over a site where singles have effectively gatecrashed the party |

I will introduce a man to a friend if I think they will get on. I wouldn't tell her to meet someone just because he turned out to not be a fake.
I'd be happy for a man to introduce me to someone, if he thought we would be compatible; not just because I turned up. |

I didn't believe the 3 a day claim. I don't think you did either.

3 a day? 21 people a week are singleing out an unverified male to give them a veri?? Now either that is BS or there are alot of thick people on here. |

"Isn't that what " verifications" are for?
( not that I care)

Basically yes. And most of our verifications are from socials so plenty of people have us together and we as a result we have a lot of mutual friends with our friends. If that makes sense? Lol. |

On the contrary, anyone working in the education system have to agree to do nothing that could harm the reputation of the school, all they would get is a p45. |

Not always, I jump on bad science. That's not to justify my anything, it's to stick up for the thing that our civilisation is founded on. Founded as in foundations not as in created. |

I would say a fair chunk of the people we know was due to word of mouth. And we always check verifications to see if they know anyone we know. We've never got involved with a time waster or a fake since we've been on Fab, do whatever it is we are doing must be working.

Hang on, "worse than 40% of the men's profiles are fake?"  What are they *really* then? Bisexual females?
Bugger, if only we'd known this before...

This... never once in nearly a year has this happened to me. At some stage I'd have been happy for 3 unsolicited messages from a lady in a month..
I imagine a lot of women have enough trouble administering their inbox - many may never have pressed any other button than 'reply' |
