Should a Face Pic be Mandatory on all Profiles

By *hrisBlkGuy OP Man over a year ago

Birmingham

I was just reading through a thread about Face pics and virtually every woman said it was mandatory for them to receive them first before any conversation took take place.

So i got to thinking, wouldn't it be best that it was mandatory for every profile to have at least 1 face pic on show so everyone would then see who they might be talking to.

I know i'll get the privacy thing thrown at me, but a lot of websites have this stipulation so why not Fabs?

"Got face pics but keep them for friends only and private so then i can choose to send one when requested !"

I've got a face pic for friends only too and its also available to send on request, but i'd be more than happy to make it my main profile pic if it meant i could see everyone else's face pic too

Why not publish names and addresses as well? With face recognition software you could be picked out in the street.

Let us be real for a moment, swinging is not _iewed by the general populous as a good thing and consequently many people wish to retain some discretion in case your friends, family or employers notice.

As a consequence demanding a face pic as a prelude to any response at all is, in our _iew, unreasonable. If it was made mandatory we would leave the site.

We have face pics which we send to people we have chatted to and whom seem genuine and worthy of meeting. That works for us.

No a face picture should not be compulsory , if it was about 90% of members would leave, remember lots of people

are committing adultery, cheating and just here for a knee trembler, so wouldn't want to be recognised.

sites make money by having members, its a numbers game, so why limit numbers.

We would leave if that was the case. We have face pics available to send when we wish. But would not be happy with every Tom dick and Harry being able to see. We both have public jobs and we wouldn't be happy with random people coming up to us or talking about it

Don't be daft. People like to keep things low key, face puctures etc will lead to all sort of proplems if they are recognised in the street, men harassing couples and females, sorry but many men come across as think its a free shag site and all couples/females are here becouse they will shag anything.

I refer those who question this to the countless threads about pushy, won't take no, pleading messages and the multiple one liners with, fuck, horny, cum on you types....

So I'd be off site in a jiffy and just stick to meeting contacts I already have and visiting clubs. It wouldn't benefit the site at all!

Without meaning to sound rude at all, as I said in the other thread about this subject, I've never bought into this kind of paranoia.

What grounds would they have to dismiss you from employment because you engage in sex with multiple partners in your private life? Most people - especially younger, single people - these days do, even if they don't use a website to facilitate it.

I'd be interested if anyone has any actual evidence of an instance where this has happened, 'cause to me, it just seems like an over-justification to be especially private (which shouldn't need one, by the way; if that's your choice to be).

I have a face pic on my profile, and won't meet unless I see one back.

BUT!!

That's my choice. I know people think this site is going to the dogs, but its simple - if you won't meet people without face pics on their profile, then just browse for profiles that have them. It's not up to the admin to police who and how we meet. It's up to us.

No it shouldn't, people should be allowed what they want on their profile. Most people have them set as private so if someone wants to see who they are talking to/add to message they can. For me, if they don't have face pictures at all, I wouldn't chat further.

I think if it became mandatory, you would drive people away from this site

Simple. There's a "reputational risk" clause in my contract. I've seen people sacked for idiotic posts on bookface - so feedback from a client that they do not agree with my choice of 'recreational activity' and no longer wish to do business with my company, or work with me - and I'm out the door!

Can't quite work out why some people doubt that businesses are able to have this _iewpoint? It's actually more common than you think these days. Certain industries require their employees to act in a certain manner both in AND out of work - and rightly or wrongly perceive this sort of activity as potentially being damaging to their image.

ok anyone who is in the military for example can be done for bringing their service in to disrepute. Conduct un becoming and so on, normal companies can and would use the same sort of thinking.

Think of it this way how many parents would cause a fuss if they found out their child's teacher was on a sex website ? The school would let the teacher go.

Oh hells no! We do have clear face pics for friends only or pm's but we choose not to display them publicly for reasons of discretion. We wouldn't participate in a site that had that as a rule.

I do see your point, but, that method's not for us.

Its the worse of two evils really, yes it would be good to see the other person/persons but in reality it would never work.

What we think is piss taking is when people want facial pics yet don't have any on show themselves...these people need to either change their profiles or put pics up on their profiles.

I've been thinking about this face pic business as well, I think it's a bit "off" to dictate a face pic must accompany the first message, how the hell do you know who you're sending your photo to? I prefer to exchange a few messages first, to see if there's any initial "spark" if there isn't why bother sending a face photo? Everyone needs to go at their own pace, I prefer to stay away from people that say "you must do this" or "you must do that" get real, and get a life ffs. Chill, have fun n keep smiling

I think you will find every company has got a clause in your contract re bringing the company into disrepute. My years ago I got the sack for crashing a company van a refusing to pay for the repairs. They said I had signed to say I agreed to the company rules. Isaid I had but there was nothing on the A4 sheet of rules about paying for a crashed van. They then got a book out about A4 and six inches thick... I bet nearly every company has a rule book like that hiden away. It said I agreed to basically any punishment the company saw fit...

In my job now if I didn't get the sack I would at least be moved sideways into a dead end role on less money...

Face pictures on a swingers site! whats the problem, no one can see them unless they're logged in and surely we're all swingers here for the same thing aren't we?

Actually we're not all swingers on Fab, there are journalists, suspicious other halves and a whole host of busy bodies who'd like to piss on your bonfire.

Once logged in any one can _iew a public picture and even search for it elsewhere on the web using google image search and TinEye, I've found facebook and linkedin profiles from doing a search on a face pic. quite often revealing a lot of personal information that you would want making public on a swingers site.

"I was just reading through a thread about Face pics and virtually every woman said it was mandatory for them to receive them first before any conversation took take place.

So i got to thinking, wouldn't it be best that it was mandatory for every profile to have at least 1 face pic on show so everyone would then see who they might be talking to.

I know i'll get the privacy thing thrown at me, but a lot of websites have this stipulation so why not Fabs?

mine is a face pic. My ugly mug. Probably why I keep getting 'NO's' lol. I think everyones avatar should be a face pic. But thats just me.

But why do you think that ?

I just think it would make life easier for everyone. Seeing who you're messaging before you do it. I know people have jobs to protect and things but its just my personal preference. If I ran the site I still wouldn't enforce it but I just think it would be better

That's fair enough but just imagine what it would be like for the females on here or parents being recognised then possibly harassed by others. By not having our faces on display we reduce that risk and only show those who we would wish to meet

Problem with notion is that how would anyone know the mug shot you use is actually you?

The site is awash with fake/joke profiles so short of attending in person to a Fab approved photographer what proof is there?

You say it's you, your veri's might also say its you but how do the unverififed or new profiles get round it.............

We all have our own different reasons for being on here and use the tools provided in the way which works in our own situations

I have private face pics - it's not blind date - but I choose who gets to see them - I don't see how anyone can even attempt to dictate what everyone else does on a site such as this !!

I wouldnt want my sons coming across it and thinking omg my mums a swinger

Ok, i'm not dictating to anyone how to use this site, neither am i seeking to put anyone's jobs or safety at risk, and it's childish to say so, i've only posed a question based on one thing most of you have missed.

Like i originally said, MOST women regard it as MANDATORY that they receive a face pic first before any conversation takes place. But if thats an ok condition for women to insist on, what about the privacy issue for the men? who in reality have no idea who they're sending their pics to.

I can understand the arguement that most women put forward of what's the point in chatting to someone you don't fancy, but i still cannot see what's wrong with saying hello first to someone who's taken the time to send you a message and then ask them, have you got a pic? If someone sends a one liner, then fair enough, but if someone has composed a decent sized message surely you can afford them the courtesy of a reply.

You are dictating how others use the site though.

If I read a profile that's expecting me to jump through hoops I have two choices: jump, or jump to the next profile: it really is as simple as that! No one is holding a gun to your head stating you HAVE to comply to the demands!

If you choose to contact the divas and they ignore you, whose fault is that? It's not as if they masked the type of person they are, but you took a chance anyway.

"Why not publish names and addresses as well? With face recognition software you could be picked out in the street.

As a consequence demanding a face pic as a prelude to any response at all is, in our _iew, unreasonable. If it was made mandatory we would leave the site.

We have face pics which we send to people we have chatted to and whom seem genuine and worthy of meeting. That works for us.

Job, privacy, our childrens safety - you won't find a face pic anywhere on our profile and if someone insists that they want one before a meet can happen then they can 'jog on'!! Never have face pic associated with a site like this, our jobs, income and financial security is way more important than this.

I ask for a face pic with the first message and will send one if I send the first message. Wether the sender chooses to send one is up to them but I do make it clear that I'm not gonna be messaging without one. I see no point in wasting either of our time messaging only to find out there is no attraction for either party.

That being said I definitely do not think that face pics on profiles should be mandatory. Privacy is very important on here!

Ooooh haven't I come to this one late...

I know a lot of people won't agree, but I wouldn't make it mandatory to have a face pic on your profile (not in your public or private galleries anyway), but I would make photo-verification mandatory.

Cut the fakes down to size, wouldn't it...

Okay, it IS possible to even fake a PV pic, but even those can be spotted... so long as someone in Admin has a keen eye....

When asked for a face pic at the start of a conversation I ask if they will send one, whether or not we progress. Sort of quid pro quo. To date 1 couple out of 20 messaged did as requested.

The site I was on prior to Fabs had no veri system, no photo verification - nothing, in fact, to tell you whether there was a real person behind the profile.

You know what? You actually had to use your nouse/intelligence - call it what you will - and do your 'homework' properly first.

I didn't have a single 'no show' in 18 months on there - it made me ask enough of the right questions before we ever got to meet and let me out the dodgy ones. The only drawback was the cost, but as I was getting meets regularly it made it worthwhile..

I think we've already seen that most women don't insist on this. If most womens profiles that you look at do maybe you need to look at your search criteria and see if there is something in that which is skewing the results you see.

Point taken - but this whole subject is all about suspicion and wariness. 'If' it were compulsory, a lot of that would be taken away. With a free site, you will always get trolls/fakes etc abusing it and degrading it for the rest of us who are genuine. You could do what other sites do and charge (often large sums too) certain categories to join, but that would cut the membership down massively at a stroke.

"I was just reading through a thread about Face pics and virtually every woman said it was mandatory for them to receive them first before any conversation took take place.

So i got to thinking, wouldn't it be best that it was mandatory for every profile to have at least 1 face pic on show so everyone would then see who they might be talking to.

I know i'll get the privacy thing thrown at me, but a lot of websites have this stipulation so why not Fabs?"

in messages or private maybe.. But on public show never.. if it was we would leave.. we decide who sees our face pic not anyone else.. can you imagine where our face pics would end up when we turn guys down which we do alot..

We have face pics which we send to people we have chatted to and whom seem genuine and worthy of meeting. That works for us.

You can't account for ignorant people i'm afraid, we all get them. I've got a straight male profile which says i'm looking for women only, but yet i still get messages from single bi men trying their luck lol. But to ask people to do something you're not prepared to do yourself, there's got to be something wrong in that.

For accuracy let's be perfectly clear the profile in question has some face pictures attached to it.

As to whose pictures they actually are neither you, I or anyone else on the site knows. They could simply be from anywhere on the Internet and the member in question could be Brian from Clacton!

The only sure fire way of knowing if someone on here is actually who the claim to be is when they publish their verification list and from that published list you recognise someone you have met or someone you know exists.

We have some really simple criteria when considering meeting people, one of which is hidden verifications = fake profile.

We have been playing for 13 years and not been let down once in that time so for us our methodology works fine

Users of this site may be open minded and non judgemental, but naked piccies of me would bring the organisation I work for into disrepute and that's the grounds for dismissal... that I would be damaging the public image of the organisation.

I was off to bed lol but i have to answer this because its fundamental to my point. You have that luxury as a single woman no-vanillacupcake not to message anyone first, but as a single guy amongst 1oo's of others, we can't be so arbitrary, and when faced with the few single women that are on here who mostly insist on us risking our privacy by sending a face pic before you'll even chat to us, we normally have little choice but to send the pic and hope you are genuine.

"I personally think that every member should have to verify themselves to admin with a photo and username but only to be available to the public eye when you so choose to do so.

i like this idea it would get rid of loads who join just for a windup , i dont mind the sight knowing me if it helps better the sight xx"

it wouldn't stop people joining for a wind up. Getting a face picture verified.can only verify that its a face, there is no guarantee the face belongs to the person behind the profile.

I'd rather not put a face to many of the bodies I've seen on here

It's not a suggestion that can work. This site makes it's money because of how easily people can sign up, also meaning anyone can easily do so and look through profiles. Your proposal would alienate a large amount of the market.

As was quite well worked out on this thread http://www.fabswingers.com/forum/swingers/201130

99.5% of married couples are NOT swingers, that puts us into a very small minority against society norms. That is why we like to be discrete and keep face pics in the friends only area.

I'm quite surprised that anyone thinks that a verified face picture is proof of anything. This is the internet where burly truckers can call themselves Sophie and their wives won't know, 35 year old men can pose as 16 year olds, women of 60 can be 30 again ....we can be anyone we want. Trust no one until you meet them then only trust them a little.

maybe not but swinging is meeting purely for sex,you ok with all your friends /family knowing what you do?"

Oh dear

Personal attack?

I was merely trying to point at that the posters on the forum aren't 'most' of the site and, in fact, if you look at a majority of the female site users profiles they don't ask for face photos first. Now if you are going to take what a minority of the site users say and use this as evidence that you are right then I'm obviously wasting my time.

dating sites are accepted as part of modern life, same as having your shopping delivered, one day in the future, marriage and traditional relationships will no longer be around, and swinging, or sex without limits will be the norm, until then, swinging is a perversion that will cause the fall of society

"FFS I just searched women looking for a man anywhere and got the same result. One out of the first ten insisting on a picture.

Are you really telling me you've just read all the profiles of all the single women on Fabs?

That being said I definitely do not think that face pics on profiles should be mandatory. Privacy is very important on here!

Because more than once I've been in the situation where I've done that. Then received a pic and realised they aren'ty type. Then you have to say so, the way I do it its avoidable.

"I don't agree with forcing anyone to get photo verified. I think people should use their heads when choosing meets and stop asking admin to do their work for them. "

This!

All by myself, I know, unique on here, I've managed to meet men without Admin holding my hand.

In six years I've not encountered a time waster, suffered abuse etc. I've been contacted by men who claim not to have photos on here because of their job but happy to Skype, send in email. As that's not how I roll I decline, wish them well and move on.

I repeat: choices. We use the site the way it suits us. If I don't want to play how others do I leave them to it, not seek to change it to suit me because I'm too stupid/lazy/inept etc.

I've put all my face pics bar my avatar into private this week...I'm not ashamed, won't lose my job, don't deny being promiscuous or any of the other reasons that have been mentioned for not showing face pics

I do request a face pic in the first message and state I'll send one back if interested, on the occasions I send initial message, I also attach face pics. If a person/couple doesn't wish to send face pics with their first message then fair enough, kindly move onto the next profile or find yourself deleted and blocked...just how I roll

WOW are you really that naïve? There are several very good reasons for someone not wanting to show face pics. Keeping their job being one of them!

There are lots of people on here were their job would become a pain if one and all knew they were on here.

Infact i'm not going to go in to anymore reasons as to why it WOULDNT be a good idea to make it compulsory. I'm sure if it was the number of members using this site would go down.

Yes but im sure they didnt single you out as putting their jobs at risk just that the fact mandatory pictures would,which is their opinion on your question not a personal slight at you which by calling them childish isnt a great response.

Some public sector jobs have rules about pictures on social networking sites.
