How important are verifications on your profile when looking at potential meets? I view them as a sign of being genuine but not necessarily the be all and end all of if I am to meet somebody |

I thought it would at least show I was safe and genuine. Doesn't seem to have made any difference since getting one. To be fair, my profile is a bit crap  |

Yes, similar feeling here.
I've met people with none - other factors gave me the "feel good" about the person's authenticity.
Mine tend to come from people asking for a verification and reciprocating.
Then I just tick the box saying "display on profile".
But I do wonder sometimes if too many can be counter-productive (I have about 20, I think).

"Would you meet someone who didn’t have one?"
If they are local to me and post here in the forum, I do sometimes offer to meet them for a coffee and a veri 
I pay for my own coffee though and it's *just coffee*  |

I do like to check veris. If the guy has a type of woman that he meets etc. If a bloke refuses to show his I generally avoid tbh. Don't want to meet someone that has a high footfall of veris but that's just me. Each to there own I know though |

I worry when I can’t see any especially if people have been on months and not got any
Plus let’s be honest we all look at the verifications to see what type of people the person/people have met previous |

Part of the process of finding out if they are genuine but not guaranteed. I don’t meet people without verifications, in my experience they tend to waste my time, plus it’s a safety issue x |

"You probably need a couple to prove you’re real. "
My thoughts too, enough to give and indication of who you/we are.
If there is a theme from different perspectives, usually a good indication of people. |

Exactly this. When I first joined Fab I got messed about by a few unverified men. No veri’s no meet now.

I assume people who have meet-verifications are slightly less likely to be time-wasters (although not 100% true).
I am very cautious of profile with only single (and hidden) verification. I treat it almost like non-verified profile.

They can make or break it for me. I have rejected many based on their veris despite me finding them attractive. Great filter |

I get hassles if I put any veris on.. From the ones I didn't meet. So decided months back not to add any more.. No one needs to know my business.. Plus I ain't trip advisor. |

We prefer to meet verified people but equally will suggest meeting at a club if they haven't- some just haven't had the opportunity. Although looking at it from another angle...we've had people freak out about how many verifications we have, they get overwhelmed and think they shouldn't message - most of them are social ones or ones we have accumulated over the 4 years we've been here. We have also had people view the people we have met via verifications and said no based on that  |

I think veris are important but the people who I have actually met don’t believe in them so I can’t get verified, and if I can’t get verified then less people will look at my profile, so for me it’s a catch 22 |

Useful to know if people are reliable and get a general feel for what they're like. If someone has been on over a year without a single verification that's usually a good indication that they won't turn up. They're not the be all and end all but do help make a decision. |

yes I’ve had a few people who don’t give veris because they believe the whole veri process has been devalued by some people treating it almost as a “diary”. |
