I'd agree, I don't think they are much use either, but I think the meeting in person verifications can be as equally open to abuse.

There was talk before about when someone has hidden their verifications and the profile just says 'verified profile' that they would say whether it was by cam or phone or meeting. What happened to that idea, anyone know?

i think all web cam and phone verifications are for is to prove that someone looking as a female is a female

What i would like to know is why can't someone who has'nt been verified, verify someone else? if there are two new couple to the site that neither have met anyone off this site befor so there for have no verification meet each other they can't verify each other to prove each other are genuine to other users!!! i just don't get that!!!

To me thats almost like the sites telling you who to meet, because in order to get a verfication you HAVE to meet a verified person *looks confused* lol

We don't show our feedback.....in fact we don't even ask anyone to add some on.

We are confident that we can make our own minds up of who we want to meet.

It is probably easy for us to say as we don't look for couples or females.

If single males don't want to mail us because we don't show feedback, we don't mind.

We do our own checks ie cam etc and also prove who we are and then go with gut instinct.

To be honest, even if a person had feedback saying they had done 74 meets it doesn't mean they are going to turn up for us.

So although I think it is a good starting point, it isn't set in gold for us.

Simply because if that was an option then everyone would be verified, it would be easy enough to create two profiles and verify both that way.

Phone and cam verifications are as much use as a chocolate fire guard, they simply tell you someone has that particular piece of equipment and are prepared to use it. The fact you see a "couple" on cam or speak to a "couple" on the phone is no conformation they are genuine.

Meet verifications are not much better, in theory they tell you actual people actually met, but as inventing verifications is as simple as a simple thing they actually tell you feck all, unless you happen to already know someone they met. More importantly because someone writes "Wow, great, don't miss this one" etc how do you know any of that will apply should you meet them?

A well written profile, an early chat on the phone and a meet for a drink along side some common sense and a good instinct is all that's required, worked for us for 8 years and no doubt will do so again in the future

Those that have been here a while know that I have been a long time campaigner against phone and cam verifications, what do they mean, a single guy is a single guy cos he spoke on the phone or appeared on cam, a couple are a couple for the same reason .... whoopeee

Now that single guy can open a new Free profile as a couple and verifiy himself saying they have met for real, if he really wants to elaborate and make himself look genuine he can open a dozen couples profiles and verify himself as a couple no end of times.

A verification needs to be for real meets, you don't even need to have had sex with the people, just be able to verify that they are genuinly who they say they are, that thier photographs are "up to date" not 10 years old.

That they are pleasant to spend time with, non pushy, don't smell, don't live in a pigsty, were not d*unk or drugged out of thier shells when you got there and so on, ie the kind of things that you think others may like to know about a couple or single.

Did you have great sex with them ? who cares, that doesn't mean to say we will, we are all different and like different things, I am more interested in knowing if they were fun to spend time with as I think that if they are the sex will follow and it will be good, I want to know what thier personality is like ie honesty, gsoh etc.

Hidden verifications, waste of time, I just consider those people to be unverified like the cam and phone verifications.

I like verifications, they are not the be and end all of proving someone is genuine but they are part of the equation, I wonder about people who have been on the site a year and never met anyone ? I wonder about those that say they only practice safe sex yet have verifications from people who only do bareback ..... profiles help build a picture and so do verifications.

Most of the people that have verified us have not played with us, we have met them socially at places like Utopia or Chameleons, they are simply confirming that we are what our profile says, we are not pushy and we do go to swinging events and are not dreamers

So what about people who are on here for different things than you are?

We are not swingers in the sense that we don't swop partners.

We also don't feel the need to go to socials to prove we are who we say we are, as the people we look for don't seem to care if we meet you "proper swingers " to get the seal of approval and to be honest, we don't need "real swingers" approval either.

Not showing verifactions is down to choice, we don't all need to show them to get what we are after from this site.

Just because people go to socials or to the clubs you promote , doesn't mean they are any less "genuine" as the "real swingers"

Nobody is saying you HAVE to be verified most are like us, we like to see verifications it helps us eliminate timewasters and it helps us decide on who to meet, but we don't use it as the only barometer, we use it as part of our process, though if you don't consider yourself swingers I don't see why you would care if you were verified or not, none swingers don't meet people ?

The verification system is designed to help out timewasters and liars not to be the be all and end all of personal checks.

I totally agree, and why we don't use the verifications as an indication that people who are verified are somehow "elite".

I did say in my post that we are not swingers as in we swop partners, I am sure you read that bit.

From what the "real swingers " of this site have told us, we are not "real" swingers.....and why I said "we are not swingers in the sense that we swop partners"

I don't care if we are verified or not, and why we don't show it.

No where did I say we don't meet anyone......we just don't meet the way you do.

It doesn't make us any less genuine than anyone else.

Why do you think you are not swingers?"

So it seems we got told we were not "real" swingers because we only meet for 3somes.

I did ask on the forums once is this the case, but got no reply.

So not really sure if we are classed as it or not....not that it matters much to be honest...as we don't care what we are called as long as we are having fun

We use verifications as a guide and a guide only.

Hopefully we've both managed to figure out who is going to be genuine and who isn't by the responses and experiences we've had so far.

Yes, as we only go for intimate and private meets, we use our gut instinct more than anything else.

having been a member on several sites as a single guy i find that verificationsare but one tool in the armoury to out the timewasters and the fakers .. if some saddo is prepared to create multiple profiles then no system is gona stop him ,, but for most folk i think its nice to see that the person has at least taken the time to contact , chat , cam and eventually show up for a meet,, i look at them as just another way of cross referencing the profile ,, maybe i have too much time on my hands ,, lol ,, i,m a member on a site without any kind of verification and its riddled with timewasters , and not a cat in hells chance of knowing if they even exist,, , so , yep ,, i,m up for verifications

sorry guys but you are swingers lol, you just enjoy one aspect of swinging, where verificatons help us if someone is verified by someone we know, that always helps as we can check if we need to, bu again only in person, pretty pointless anything else

"Just for curiosity......how did the first people of the site ever get verified"

A lot of cpls have been on other sites before fab and have been verified in that way it is in fact from meeting a cpl from another site that we heard about fab.

And as far as verifications go I do think they are a good indicator of gen ppl, how many profiles have you come across been members for over a yr a list of friends a mile long but NO verifications sorry but we tend to avoid those ones.

I think as we don't look for the same as most people, we don't seem to have as many problems as some do with fakes and I can understand why people like to be guided by the feedback intially.

Up to now ( touch wood) we have only had one person not turn up and not let us know, and that is from the two sites we use, so we are either lucky or our gut instinct works well...and to be honest as we only look for men, most didn't have feedback anyway.

Any verifications is up to abuse and can be considered a waste of time then. But still some who are still new or just looking for cam/phone fun may want to have verifications also so when they are ready to meet for real they'll have more opportunities. :D

I think it's up to a person choice. If they don't want to meet people with only webcam/phone verifications, then don't...:D

Let's face it - you can't win whatever you do.

If you have too many it's showing off or something or other...

If you want to keep your private life private then you must be hiding something...

If you just have one to show someone else knows/has meets you and you are who you say then it must be fake because you only have one...

If you get verifiied too quick it's dodgy...

If you have been on the site for a while and not been verified you are dodgy...

Fuck it - suss people out for yourself! lol

i have to say this phone and cam verification is a total waste of time, ok the person u are camming or speaking to on the phone may seem to be just right and also be happy to meet...but... we cammed a guy from this site a few weeks ago who didnt have a pic on his profile and i thought wow im gonna meet him, everything in the right places and looked a dream also he had a massive cock..

a week later we met and it wasnt the guy i was camming infact it was nothing like the guy i was camming..it turns out he had a m8 cam for him..so no to phone and cam verifications

By (user no longer on site)  over a year ago

Well I don't use cam for verification or anything else come to that. When I get a message from a guy I decide from that message and his profile whether I want to go any further. He doesn't need to show verifications as far as I'm concerned although it's interesting to read them if he shows them. Pics are a must however, especially face ones. I make my mind up through messaging and maybe a phone chat beforehand if we decide to meet
