What's your opinion on verifications.

Should you be able to hide them.

Should they only be from actual physical meets.

Should it be ok to (as in acceptable)to give one that is not really that flattering, if you found that to be the case.

Some people even get persecuted for having then.

I know some don't like them at all and others base future meets on them.

Be interested to know what you think about them

They're a useful tool for testing consistency between what someones bio and private messages say and who they are really meeting.

There's nothing stopping anyone from giving a negative veri but very few are honest enough to display them.

I don't minds veris but I don't read a lot into them and tend to make my own mind up about someone. They are handy tho to help avoid drama though at times.

Yes I think people should be able to hide them if they want.

Yes you can leave a bad veri if you want they may not display it though.

Everyone has their own opinion of veris and if they matter or not and if there is a certain number that they consider too many or too little. No one will ever agree on it all and I think how it is at present works fine .

We look to see that they have veriys but dint really look at what is in them, they can be misleading as 90% of ours are from people we meet at a club or party, very few are play meets and ours very much paint the picture that we ate a hardcore fetish couple but that's not the truth of who we are, best to make your own mind up about people what than base it on what others have said within reason of course

Don't think you'd get a second meet if you came within 30 seconds and had cheese round your cock.

I only check to see if a person has recent veris. I pay very little attention to the content in them because all meet dynamics are different and I like to make my own mind up about a person. I see veris as only a way of knowing that a person has been able to show up when expected to and that they are who they said they are.

We use them to filter meets. We know most of the active swinging couples on fab, so it helps when arranging meets.

For New couples, it's a sure fire way, to attract people. The amount of fake ones an cam/phone veris it's tough sometimes to spot them fake profiles.

We found when we first started we couldn't get started till we had our first veri.

Could ya imagine if it was OK to sh#t on bad meets via a public veri, would be so unfair. The fab grape vine kinda does that already.

Generally speaking I think verifications are a load of shit. Too many people on here put too much emphasis on them (You know, the “I only meet verified members” people... It’s like how do you get a first job when employers all ask for 2 years experience)

They’re also far too easy to fake. I’ve spoke to some on here who are well verified but also the sketchiest people I’ve ever come across. It’s hard to gauge.

That all said I unfriended a woman who had 12 verifications in the space of 3/4 weeks - and no she wasn’t at a party

The cringe factor of some of them is hilarious. Also stuff like "make sure you dont miss out guys, she's great" are just

some of them look like they've almost been taken from an Amazon product review. For those reasons alone I find them very entertaining.

Categorised Veris would be handy so you can easily see if it's In Person, Cam, 1 on 1, Group Social or Club night etc. And grouped accordingly.

Like 20 veris from 1 social seems a bit pointless, like we get it, they went to a social.

I would find that more helpful than being told someone is a gem and knows how to suck cock

Purple tick aside, for me the only really interesting part of a veri is who it came from. The content can be amusing but in reality means shite all

I find that a person who has 20 verifications from a social means she fairly dead on and great company to be with! So not really pointless! If you want to know they are genuine....sure all women are all gems when sucking dick! I'd rather know ppl are sounds that what they get upto behind doors! Sure anyones great shag could be someone else worse nightmare! Lol

Yes, I agree. I meant if veris were grouped by category then it would be easier to differentiate between 20 veris from the same social and other meets.

And as I said, I'd find the categories more helpful than veris detailing what people get up to behind closed doors, in cars etc

In a way people judging you are not worth your time . Let’s say you have 200 veris and most are socials and someone labels this ‘slutty’. I don’t think them being reassured that most weren’t meets is necessary . If actually you want to have 200 meets that’s your right and business. It’s just sex , and most judging wish they were that popular or desired. And if they’re that shallow that they wouldn’t meet people above a certain number they are definitely not deserving of your time .

People will have or form an opinion regardless of the veris.

As many have said most of their veris are from social meets, & over a long time period, but to some it can seem you are a good time guy or girl.

Veris are a small part of what you are on Fab, but they are a proof you exist & turn up as agreed.

For that alone they are worth it.

Yes u should be able to hide them if u want to.i keep mine hidden and show them to the person I'm meeting if they want to see them.

Verie for me are only a sign that the person showed up.i don't read to much into what written.

One person fab experience could be another's disaster meeting .so I go on my gut feeling from communicating with the person instead.

In my time on here I have never seen a bad verie but maybe a over written over the top verse.

Verifications do serve a purpose. It does irritate me though when a guys says to me 'just check out my Verifications'. Just because someone else thought he was a sex god certainly doesn't mean i will. Some veri's are cringey, but i can honestly say, any one ive ever written has been an honest account of my experience with them.

I'm in two minds about them. Yes, they do sort out genuine people from the timewasters, but I'd consider myself to fall firmly in the former category and I don't have a green tick.

I'm in no mood to chase people down to verify me. If they want to, great. If not, fine.

To be fair it's only happened me once but it is something I'm weary of now.

Usually now once I start chatting to someone new it always end up on Kik or something for the convenience and pics are usually exchanged anyway but trust me hahaha, when you turn up to a meet after driving 45mins and it ain't the person you are expecting it's fairly frustrating lol

I got myself photo verified straight away however it done me no good. I tried chatting to a few and messages were getting read and no replies. However out of frustration I messaged a well verified member asking what am I doing wrong and she very kindly met me for a coffee... Gave me a kiss and a great Veri. She also gave me tips on how to open a conversation and thankfully she really opened doors.

The point of all this anyway is as a newbie I had about 4 veris in about 3 weeks lol. I was definitely looking suspect
