Men - yes. Have and will.

Couples - Possibly. Depends on how new they are, their rapport, and if they're willing to Skype or meet for a social.

Women - almost certainly not. The likelihood of a fake is too high. The only exception is if the woman will meet locally for a social first.

yes. completely depends on the person..if theyve been on here a while, then yes, id probabaly clock the fact they have them or not and wonder if not, why not.. but if someones fairly new, then why not? i wouldnt do instant meets anyway so i would have a lot of contact with someone regardless. I think veri's show a person exists, beyond that i have no interest in some purely subjective opinion of someone else...

We were chatting to a "couple" who had pics, sent a face pic but always the man who was chatting.we asked if they had met on here before as they had no veris but been on over a year,said yes but didn't show it for the reason that someone they knew commented,then asked them why no veri tick,no real reply except saying they had met on here but it was up to us if we wanted to meet. Dont know whether to report it as something doesn't add up but maybe we are not seeing it.

If we see them in a club we don't ask as they are there and real. Veri's help us decide if we'd like to arrange a meet at a club, no veri no planned meet - simples.

So in answer to your question, no we wouldn't.

Not quite sure that "proves" anything - could be pics/clips of you with a girlfriend or wife or *shudder* if they don't show your face something you downloaded off the net.

Know it's tough but getting along to a local club or social event is your best way to get a veri- although as this thread has shown there are plenty that will meet unverified people (as would I if it was someone I had chatted to for a while and got a level of comfort with).

I wouldn’t. As a single woman meeting men, my safety and well-being are of paramount importance to myself and it’s just not worth it...!

If I really like one’s pictures and profile when they message me but have no veris, I always make a point of asking them to revisit once they have a couple of verifications under their belt! (:

Yes but if nobody ever met the person without a veri then he would never get a veri, spotting a fake is so easy only a fool would fall for it and as for the people that dont turn up, well just see it as their loss and move on, i dont think iv ever let anyone down and i came her after using craigslist, now that is a minefield but i met my best ever couple off there

We have sadly been let down too many times by unverified people so we generally no longer arrange to meet them. Same if people have been on for over a year with no verifications.

Its a shame really because we were unverified newbies once.

There...

I’ve met unverified single men and couples socially. Most have turned up and looked like their photos. A couple looked nothing like their photos and one single male no show. Some of my best meets have been with unverified folk with whom I’ve instigated contact. There have been a couple of howling disasters too...!

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

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

We would be highly unlikely to meet someone without a number of veris. For private meets we really prefer a man who's very experienced with meeting couples, so we use veris to ascertain that. Sure it's possible that a man might be experienced but his profile is new to Fab, so we could be missing out. But we hardly ever meet new guys anyway as we have enough to be getting on with, so in that sense no real need to meet a guy with no veris. I will say that we have never had a no show, so our selection process must count for something. We do use word of mouth too.

A club is so easy for any person, either single or a couple, to go to and get verified it just seems crazy not to.

It's only like going in a bar. The staff or other club goers will verify you. You will have a fun time chatting and might even get to play.

Of course there are fake profiles with fake veries. What's your point? Go have a rant at someone else haha. I'm allowed my opinion and i didn't say i follow what's said on a veri. I would just be more likely to believe that they are who they say. Obviously depending on who the veries are from,how many etc. I don't need to remember anything so ssshhh.

"I've never met anyone without one and tbh i don't think i would. There's a lot more fakes out there wven than when i joins not even 2 years ago

So there are no profiles here with fake veries then?

Or you can't make your own desicions unless someone else tells you what to think about another person...ie we are people not profiles...renember that strange concept??

And when you joined fab did you come pre-verified ..or did someone take a chance meet and verify you???

Do you think others should be given the same opportunity..

FFS... what happened to simple logic???"

Yes I realise someone verified us the first time. Should we give a chance to someone else because gave a chance to us? Like everybody, we are here for our own selfish reasons, and that includes meeting the people we want to meet, as opposed to meeting people to give a 'step up'. Fab is not a charity. We don't have a strict rule that we won't meet unverified people, but we feel more comfortable with men who are established on the swing scene and are experienced with meeting couples privately. Verifications that reflect this save a huge amount of time in finding out this information. We find it works in finding what we want.

Without trying to be unduly rude, grow a pair! What is the point of being on here if you aren't prepared to take a risk - for us meeting outside of clubs is harder as the dynamic is wrong, especially if you meet and aren't interested. The thing about clubs is you are in a sweety shop, not all of the sweets are available, not all of them are to your taste, but they are sweets and they are real!

People at clubs are great, just go, talk, smile , don't assume you will have sex, just treat it as a social. Don't get us started on it costs too much as a single guy - we travel to clubs, often stay in hotels and usually buy new outfits for Beth, so we spend much more than the delta between single guys and couple prices!

There are many people that don't want to try clubs, fair enough, but there is no point complaining about not getting meets when you aren't veri'd - it is perfectly aesy to solve - potentially harder if you are in Shannon or St Kilda of course.

If I'd been once to meet someone then it's likely I'd go back alone, if I enjoyed it of course, but alone for the first time, no chance, there's scenarios I'd not want to get into and I'd just not feel comfortable at all. I understand doing things outside of your comfort zone, but I also understand not doing things you really don't want to do.

I don't think you should go to a club if that's not your cup of tea. Totally get that the more intimate private scenarios is what you are looking for. What you should bare in mind though is that Fab can be difficult if used on its own (even if you are not male and are verified) and especially hard if you are a non-verified male. And even if you do get verified, it might only improve marginally. But if you use Fab as a catalyst to various social situations within the swing scene, then you can get to know lots of people who might introduce you to more people. If you create that social network for yourself options are maximised. But if you rely totally on Fab you might get the occasional meet with a person or a couple who you or may not connect with.

Just because someone does not have a veri it does not mean there is something wrong with them.It just means that they have not "sold" themselves to their target audience.I do not think people on here are open minded enough.A social meet costs nothing apart from your time and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Think that may have more to do with Craig's list than veries.

Probably not your judgement that was crap more the quality of those who basically advertise there.

And I'm a great believer in the if it works for you then why change what you do.

Maybe part of the problem is that I haven't gotten their Fab ID, so I can't then remind/nag them about it. But after my most recent failed attempt, I have a Fab ID, a mobile number, and an email address. A campaign of relentless nagging has just begun, that will either get me verified or get me barred...

Don't nag. Go in the club, have a good chat at the bar, swap fab Id's. Message next day thanking them and do a club review on the forum section. Just ask, straight after, no good doing days after, they'll have forgot.

I get the impression that ALL aspects of swinging are much more difficult for "single males", even getting club-verified. We are widely regarded as pests, after all! Not that I misbehaved or anything, I was polite.

But in this most recent case, I asked for a veri before I went, so I will hold them to that promise. And I will need to pay a membership fee on my second visit, and I won't do that until they verify me. It's only been a few days (I went on Tuesday), so I haven't given up yet.
