Hi all
Was reading on here the other day that it is easy for some people to concoct fake verifications etc by Joining in loads of different names and recommending themselves. I'm sure there are other ways people enhance themselves too. Our question is... Are there any obvious pointers/signs etc that give this away?
We ask this because we are currently seeking 2 smart, polite, genuine guys in North West for a MFM, but we NEED to ensure the guys are indeed Non pushy, smart, polite etc.
Any tips Peeps?
PS, If anybody has any personal recommendations please feel free. |

Not sure there is any way really other than chat, read verifications and get a feel for who they are.
There are some decent guys on Fab, but there are also some idiots, just like couples I suppose.
Good luck ! |

im ssure there are loads of single guys who are genuine. I definitely class myself in that category and hopefully my verifications show that.
I think there are just time wasters who are female, couples and single guys, ts/tv's. It seems to be a common theme on here, so it's sitting the wheat from the chaff (never thought I'd use that analogy on here!).
When I'm checking out profiles I look at how old the pics are, how good and old are their verifications. Do you chat to them for a while first? Will they verify by cam or a phone call before they meet you?
I dislike the time wasting single guys as it makes everyone take everything I say with a pinch of salt and question my reliability and whether I'm genuinely before they've even chatted to me.
Keep going and I'm sure you'll come across some diamonds eventually.

What I would say, is trust your instinct !!!
Plenty of messages beforehand, texts and or calls , looking back on verifications is the only way !!!!
Gut instinct goes along way !

search for them, look at their profile and if it hits the mark, compose a nice message that details what you are looking for and if they reply, arrange a social meet
if you put the effort in, you may reap the rewards
good luck

We have either been very lucky or been doing something righ as we have always found genuine guys 
Check verifications , get mobile number and text them , and go with your gut instinct and it should be fine |

Check the verifications carefully and see who verified them and how they were verified, meeting or on cam etc. and check out the people who have verified them |

There is absolutely no guarantee!
I only meet single guys and manage to do that without total strangers helping me. I talk to those I like and arrange a social meet. If they can't firm up a coffee meet only answer their messages between 9 and 5, well you don't need spidey senses to know it's not going to happen, so sever ties and move on.
Trust your gut instincts...good luck. |

as a single girl.. what i sometimes do is read the verifications left on a guy's profile, then check the girls who left the verifications' profile and see their verifications.. and so on..
in a way, i do a multi-layer verifications/profile checks.. plus its fun reading what other people say about each other.
also, sometimes, i'll see the same guy/girl who have met people i've met which is more reassuring.

There are lots of genuine guys out there.
I would say check their profile information, pictures and read their verifications. See if they have been to social meets or clubs before.
Gut instinct is good. If they are dicks then that will be immediately obvious, on the other hand if they seem to good to be true then also be careful (not if its me of course, I really am that good  ).
Their tollerance of bring asked questions and patience levels are also a good indicator. Also pushyness for pics or friends invites can ring alarm bells too.
Good luck with it. |

Regular forum posters are a good one to look for. If they moan and groan on here about meets then they probably aren't too good to be honest.
A lot of my best meets and good friends have been from forum meets. You could even contact people who've met them as well I guess. |

Thanks all. As obvious as it sounds we never really thought about cross referincing the Veri's because we were a little sceptical about some of them. I understand what some say about gut instinct but we were looking for a better way. The bit about guys asking for 'More Pics' or friends pics rings a bell.
Thanks to all who took the time to answer. |

The only caution I urge on cross referencing veris is to remember the blokes themselves didn't write theirs and they probably feel the need to display them all to show they are genuine. So if a veri is a bit tasteless or too graphic it's not the blokes fault ... unless it mentions him using a tazer or chloroform of course   |

Much, if not all of what's been said is great advice. With experience comes - usually - wisdom, where you'll get a greater level of conviction upon people being right for you or not.
An option is to visit a club, where at least you could monitor guys and their behaviour, without even joining in with them for a while. Realise it's not so easy for everyone to get out this way so easily, but hope this could be of use.
I usually like to size people up for a while before playing, though it can sometimes result in a guy, such as last week, who came over and asked me to play, expecting me to say no - I didn't, I'd just been assessing him.
Fab experience works wonders, as you start to see the pitfalls and give aways of the wrong people.
Good luck! |

Lol, as funny as it may seem, today we have been contacted by at least 10 guys who all appear decent (Judged on their veris). You never know what hits you when you're not looking for it.
Thanks again all. Xx |

I was really expecting a thread full of people saying "me me me.... I'm genuine" so it nice that it hasn't gone that way...
in a way there are different ways of doing it.... the tired and tested "see what they are like in a social atmosphere" route... see how they are in the wild so to speak and this way you can try before you buy...
the club route..... again seeing how they interact with people....
or you can do the routing and ferreting about rather than the other way round... be proactive rather than waiting on it to fall in your lap..... |
