Won't meet unless verified

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

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

Why do so many of you say you won't meet someone unless they are verified?

You would trust the verification from a stranger? How do you cope in real life without strangers there to hold your hand?

Use your common sense! How are new people ever going to get verified if most people on here won't even consider them?

It's a little thing called personal choice and preferences. We all have them, if you don't agree with someones preferences then avoid them. Simple

As for not getting verified if no one will meet, there are loads of ways. I went in the chat room on cam and got a verification to say that I am actually a female and not a guy pretending. I followed it up with a visit to a club which got me meet in person veri's. There are always ways of getting that first veri without having to have a one to one meet.

Finally you ask about how we function in day to day life without strangers verification of others. My answer to thia is simple. Meeting people in day to day life and for business reasons is a hell of a lot less risky than meeting strangers for sex

Surprised to hear you say that. You usually recognise that what people do here is entirely down to personal choice.

This issue is no different.

Fab cliché no. 1 applies.

Let others more desperate take the risk first. Don't trust WebCam veris either, or "Straight" men with men veris.

Very good point. We all have to start somewhere. We wouldn't want to tar everyone with the same brush but from our own experience it's the non verified people that let us down.

I understand we all start somewhere and dont really have a problem with new members not being verified. Its the ones that have been here over a year and unverified that kinda ring a bit of a alarm bell. Afterall, there are plenty of socials and things to get verified from.

Ive also used verifications by meet as a indicator that people have turned up. But after being let down 3 times over the past few days by verified members, im starting to question this.

It could of course just be my bad choice of potential meets.

Extreemly good point. On a slightly different note, we don't understand why people hide their verifications. Surely if someone has gone to the trouble to write one it is rude not to display it.

There are plenty of posts saying it takes time to get meets, have patience. There are as many saying won't meet unverified people. Do The maths on that one. What boils my blood is people saying let others more desperate take the risk. That's arrogance. Op spot on, your taking the word of a random stranger whether your looking at verifications or meeting someone without.

We look for people with recent verifications more so in the hope of actually not being time wasters. When I had my profile on here as a single fem I would only look at men recently verified. I have met non verified men for a drink in a public place but never to play. Now I don't meet men at all lol xx

I will meet unverified plus many will miss out on their perfect match as they might like the profile but they are not verified.

Swinging nowadays seems to be about getting verified, than having fun lol.

I recon it would be a good idea to scrap the veri system here to make it fun for all

Peeps say they will ignore that and they will ignore webcam veris, and will only go off other verifications. It essentially comes down to expecting others to do their work for them. Even if someone is verified, most people will still take time to chat and get to know them and try and suss them out so what difference does it make really. Your own judgement is the deal breaker regardless.

I agree in most part veri's are easy enough to get by cam but lets be honest all they say is they are real people, it dont mean the actually meet or swing.

Going to a club is fine for couples like us and single ladies but for guys its not so easy.

firstly the male to female ratio is approx 1-100 so to me verified these guys would need to attend a club and as such for every new woman or couple to attend a club there will be a 100 guys... problem being as some clubs cost £60+ for a single guy, its expensive ( easier for ladies as its usually free or near as damn it)

and finally these 100 guys wont get in as clubs limit their numbers to "a few select males"

As i said I generally agree with you but lets not forget its far far more difficult for some to get verified than others.

For me it's about experience. Ok so new members could be very experienced but after a few meets with unverified people which were more than a little disappointing I chose to stop meeting them. It's just one of my filtering processes.

As you will see from mine they are all social and most from people who know how much I don't like veris. I don't as a norm verify people and I tell any potential meets that before hand. My reason for doing so it that it is my business who I meet for sex and nobody else's. I really don't like and get put off by the graphic veris and am even more put off by repeat veris finding them more like territory marking.

Over 25% of our meets are with newbies

These meets are often the best , the nerves , the excitement and the anticipation are a major factor and we love meeting them .

It does have to be said that if we made special arrangements to meet newbies though , we would be complaining about no shows .

Having spoken to quite a few people from here I know that veris are not worth the screen they're viewed on.

One example is the woman who described a guy as talented not because the sex was good, apparently it wasn't, but because he could play the guitar.

Another is the popular forumite who has a long list of excellent verifications but according to another woman all his play consisted of was trying to make her gush and gossiping about other people he'd met off here.

I could go on but I'm bored already...

I don't place much reliance at all on verifications. Anyone who's verified can still decide to be a dick one day and mess you around.

I'd rather make arrangements for a social meet first which doesn't involve me going too much out of my way. I've met a few unverified men that way with no problems whatsoever and gone on to have great meets.

The only time I do give them an influence in my decision making is if the person has been here over a year without any from meeting in person - which then implies to me they're not actually interested in meeting and they're more about just the chat.

I think the exception would be if I were looking to meet single women or couples, when actually there could be some merit in a verification that says they are in fact a woman or a couple, and not a bloke pretending.

At clubs we ask for peoples username so we can check their verifications on here first. Unless they have a tattoo of a green tick, then we KNOW they're REAL. Unless they're covered in green ticks - that's distracting.

It's not rude at all. I hide all of mine, because it's nothing to do with anyone else who I choose to meet. It's none of their business. I show the summary instead so people who are bothered about veris can see that I do meet and have met fairly recently. Any more detail than that is between me and the person who wrote it.

This amazes me when people say this " we all started out on here without one"

How do people go about meeting on dating sites ect.

A verification can mean nothing, it is real life that means something, and people forget, we all had to start somewhere, with no verifications.

"Why do so many of you say you won't meet someone unless they are verified?

You would trust the verification from a stranger? How do you cope in real life without strangers there to hold your hand?

Use your common sense! How are new people ever going to get verified if most people on here won't even consider them?

totally agree. a lady turned me down for my first meet as id never meet before very silly xx"

It wasn't silly to her. It was her preference. Better respecting that and moving on.

We used to on a previous profile because we'd get messages saying 'we saw you met xx' - although we still got those messages anyway because of the ones we'd left for others!

Was actually embarrasing when they messaged me to say gee you must be popular. I got more messages off men asking hpw i managed to meet you than i do off women on site. Oopppsss

Because there is less chance of a lady turning out to be Bi Bob from Burnley if they are a long-time member with verifications from names I know from the forums.

Just because they're new to the site doesn't mean they have no experience - what a narrow minded view!

"...

I think the exception would be if I were looking to meet single women or couples, when actually there could be some merit in a verification that says they are in fact a woman or a couple, and not a bloke pretending."

Sometimes... but still trust your spidey senses. I've chatted to verified couples and women where it's clear it's just a guy. Or they used to be a couple but she left him...

Agreed - and to be honest you can tell just by the tone of the messages when it's a man pretending to be a woman. But I can see how a recent verification might help inform my judgement.

Luckily no one says they're a man on here unless they are a man, so I don't have to worry about that bit

So by that your first veri was from people who were happy to be guinea pigs for fumbling newbies , this site needs more like that and less people without minds of their own is what I think.

So you would prefer to have a site full of people without there own minds? Be careful for what you wish. "

Read my post again , that's not what I said at all.

"Fab cliché no. 1 applies.

Let others more desperate take the risk first. Don't trust WebCam veris either, or "Straight" men with men veris. "

I'm not desperate, just a realist that knows there are liars out there but if an unverified guy is hot enough or interesting enough to chat with then i'll risk meeting with him.

I've only been let down twice by guys who are verified and their profiles say they will always turn up if they say they will.

From experience, unverified men aren't a risk.

But you and her gossiping about him - that's different how?"

The thread is about the validity of verifications, not gossiping.

I used the example to express how some verifications, because she did give him a good one, are not very honest.

Whilst writing my original post I did wonder whether I was gossiping, but, as I have not revealed any usernames the guilty have been protected. I therefore came to the conclusion I was merely imparting empirical anecdotes.

Satisfactory answer for you?

In answer to your question though, when i joined on my single profile 5 years ago, i put the hard work in, as in i went to social group meets, clubs, and parties to make friends and get my verifications that way.

Apology accepted and thank you. That was on your single profile which is brilliant but that still means someone must have been a guinea pig for fumbling newbies when you joined as a couple unless of course you managed to get people that you both knew you as singles to veri you as a couple without the hassle of actually having to meet them. I'm not saying this is what happened just that it's easy for it to happen for people already know as singles than those who joined as complete new couples.

Reading them does help in a way, but I don't show mine and don't think people must be verified. Even people who are on here a year or so with apparently no meets can sometimes just not be that bothered about verifications...and others do seem to use it as a numbers game.

There is no right or wrong...we make our own decisions and go from there.

Is it even an issue?

People don't want to meet unverified people, fine....there choice, just meet someone who does....can't see the complication in that.

Look at those who meet unverified people as level one....once you've completed level one, move on up to level two....it's a simple enough game

Meh, that implies those who will meet unverified people are somehow not as good. Although if people want to meet me then move onto the bigger and better world of the 'no veris

no meet crew' then they can go for it; I'm not being altruistic, I just like getting in there early

Everybody starts of un verified, then someone takes a leap of faith and meets you, likes you and then verifies you. We all start off at the same point.

"Having spoken to quite a few people from here I know that veris are not worth the screen they're viewed on.

One example is the woman who described a guy as talented not because the sex was good, apparently it wasn't, but because he could play the guitar.

Another is the popular forumite who has a long list of excellent verifications but according to another woman all his play consisted of was trying to make her gush and gossiping about other people he'd met off here.

I could go on but I'm bored already...
