Nope, sorry, not having that one. A YEAR and no veris - screams bogus to me. Just a difference of opinion, not having a go. |

we are a genuine couple and yes we have located at least 2 bogus couples we think are a bloke who has pasted a gorgeous womans pic on a profile, uses 2 phones, and you never get to speak to the woman. as she is never available.
so be careful we always meet socially first and insist on verifications to make people realise we are genuine x |

Its sooooo difficult with single male profiles. I mean, they could say what they wanted but until they stand you up there's no way to tell they are fake. At least with the couples profiles you have the little telltales that have already been posted. |

"They are a "couple" but only have pics of the bloke"
There's a couple on the forums with only the male photo and only he posts. As others have met them it proves your theory wrong! |

Agree!
Also not everyone cares about verifications. I've met several men without them: I've yet to encounter a time waster or no show in three years! |

Not everyone wants to post photos for one reason or another. From a personal perspective, i do not show mine for discretion purposes due to the line of work i am in. We have standards of behaviour and i am sure advertising on a swinging sight breaches that code so i will only let people see my photo when i am confident it is appropriate to do so. |

I dont think being able to accommodate or not means fake. With todays financial issues, many people are living in places they can afford, however are not proud of, many have moved back in with parents, some have neighbours (that non of us want)
I know some single guys living in shared houses (and feel at their age its not suitable) I even know of one, who cares now for his mum at home, because he cant afford nursing home fees.
Life happens, some couples wont play at home because of children and not every absent parent has contact...
The list is pretty endless. |

Because most the time a guy can't accom, its because he's 'forgotten' to tell me he's married. That shouldn't be a problem with couples, although I should have qualified my statement. I am more suspicious of couples who can't accommodate without a good reason, like kids etc.
Obviously there is a story behind every profile which can explain the reasons of everything, but if the people don't give some kind of reason, it usually means the profile is fake or the people are timewasters, and that applies to everybody, not just couples. |

I can understand everyone has little signs they stick to when figuring out who is real or not, but if I am honest, if someone asked us why we didn't accomodate I wouldn't feel the need to answer as it would be our business not theirs....so we would be classed as fake. |

People seem to spend a lot of time worrying about what everyone else is doing. Does no-one rely on their own judgement any more? I would no more decide on whether I'm going to meet someone by a verification from someone else than I would listen to a film review by someone else. Seriously... it does make me wonder some days. Listen to your instincts, do your own homework, have your own conversations, be your own person and stop judging other people when you know half a story from someone else. Verifications are up there with naming and shaming in my book. |

The fact is things we assume may well be pointers to a fake are often nothing of the sort.
I blocked a couple once after some odd messages as I was convinced it was a single guy.... then I met them both at a club.
Exchanging messages and having social meets is the best way to sort them out I reckon. |

Why are you tired of looking for male pics in an m/f couple when your profile shouts out that your not interested in meeting them?
You have also said the same on the forums!!!

I am really a 4'8" bald and fat man with no teeth, fake tanned skin, really bad dress sense and I work as a tax inspector.
My plus points are I have a massive 2" cock and I can go for ages, sometimes upto 3 minutes. As you can see i'm a real fake catch |

I had one last night. Profile was perfectly spelled, paragraphed and intelligent. The message was the exact opposite and all in caps. Clearly he'd nicked the profile so I called him on it. Then I got the abuse, all very badly spelled, though he dropped the caps after I said I hated that. |

I'd agree that it's a big warning sign. Ignore it at your own volition. There are people who don't want verifications but they should expect to be treated with suspicion.
I've heard there are profiles showing up with verifications that are fake. People asking somebody to verify just to help them get meets. I saw one, 22 yr old girl who had the 'total slut' profile and naked pics with verifications from the day she joined. I think it was reported and banned because it disappeared quickly.
I can imagine some serial fekers set up sleeper profiles they can dig up in six months to verify. I usally follow a trail to see how verified the verifiers are. |

Because I will occasionally play with the male half of a couple separately, that's why (assuming his other half is ok with it). It's not rocket science. And no I don't meet couples but that doesn't mean I can't look at their profiles to see if they play separately as well as together. |

I had lunch with one single man I met on FAB. I liked him a lot but when I suggested a meet it turned out he already had a FB. No problem.
Sometime later, he reappeared on here with a brand new profile complete with verifications and asked to meet. I said no as I didn't want to go to the club he suggested or play with the other guy he suggested. No problem.
But then, after that, he began regularly deleting his profile after being on here a few weeks and then reappearing a month or so later with a new name, new profile and new verifications.
He's not a fake as I've met him and I know for a fact that he's single but he's definitely a FLAKE.
I've called him out on this several times and asked why he keeps deleting his profile and reappearing. He's never given me a satisfactory explanation as to why he does this but it made me so uneasy that eventually I told him bluntly I will never meet him because of this and not to contact me again.
It's a shame as he does seem to be a nice man but I just don't understand why he constantly deletes and reappears. I do wonder if his new veris are ever real but I guess they might well be as I know he's a regular at a club near me.
Very strange. |

Actually, for every classic 'sign' there will be exceptions and very good reasons behind them, so it's really hard to give a list.
That said I've never really had problems with fakes or time wasters... they have remained mythical beasts in my swinging world to be honest. |

I met a guy and afterwards he admitted he had a girlfriend. He said he deleted his profile regularly. I think he just set a new one up when he was desperate for a shag, then he'd go back to his gf and avoid temptation for a while. |

I think it's more about getting access to cam and pics. Or they'll show up and say the wife is whatever excuse they can think of for her not being there. |

Not being verified should not be taken as being a false profile. We have been on this site for about 6 months now and only had our first verification this last week, and in fact several couples that we contacted then proceeded to block us, telling us we were posting fraudulent pictures of us both as we were not verified. Huh! Their loss!! |

We had a meet with a man once who said he had arranged a meet with a woman, he trusted who she said she was and turned up for the meet to find a man there..who admitted he was the "woman" and could the meet still go ahead.
So I am guessing they do it in the hope the person will stay and play anyway.
Needless to say he did loads of checks for his next meets |

Totally agree we live with disabled parent who we care for so can NEVER accommodate yet met many cpls and singles in clubs/hotels/their houses - and we are NOT FAKE.
We agree with no pix on profile and no verifications - we stir clear. Yes alot of us want discretion - so post body pix and few cock / pussy / boobs pix but post something. Personalise ur profile without showing ur face pix. If u can't be bothered doing that much then as a cpl we would avoid such cpl / single profiles.
Life happens, some couples wont play at home because of children and not every absent parent has contact...
The list is pretty endless. "
