Hidden verifications

What's the story with people with all their verifications hidden? When asked why they say the other person requested it for discretion purposes.

Really? Everyone one of them?

Given that almost no profiles on fab are identifiable I find this very odd. Anyone got a better explanation?

I have two verifications,

One from an active user and one from a lady who deleted her profile, I had both displayed but when you delete your account it includes your Veris

I keep mine hidden and if someone is interested in meeting I can make them public for them to read but prefer to keep hidden for discretion purposes

I have been verified 30 times and 12 of those have left the site. A couple of others I keep hidden because they were written by fantasists and weren't true and one is hidden at the request of the woman who wrote it because she didn't want to advertise who she was meeting at the time.

On previous profiles I have received nasty messages from complete strangers about people I have been verified by so there are many reasons why verifications are hidden.

One possible explanation (for women and couples profiles) is that it's a fake profile and the one veri is from the male who created the profile.

Some of ours are public and some private there's usually only 2 reasons for them being private either they include our real names or the have details we don't think are appropriate to share

Why do you verify others then? We've displayed yours, so the gossiping continues

I only display my most recent and only for a week or two, then they're hidden.

Why? Because that's how I decided to do it 🤷‍♀️

My summary is visible though, should anyone doubt my veracity.

It wouldn't bother me if one was hidden but others on show or you got to view them.

I take veris with a pinch of salt. Meet the person for my own opinion. I've met people who had amazing veris and walked away thinking must be something wrong with me because I had a totally different experience with them.

I have always had all my veris hidden. I will show them if someone asks but in general they're all the same.

I prefer to meet a person myself than make a judgement by their veris.

Lots of reasons:

I've mine hidden because guys have messaged me about the people that have given me verifications.

Most of them want to know where they are from, any face pictures of them, what they were like in bed and even one guy wanted contact details of one lady in particular.

Hence the reason the fuck off/block button was duly applied.

Some dangerously mad fuckers out there!!!

This week I had a message from a guy. He was asking about a woman using her first name who verified me at least a year ago and had deleted her account.

I only keep my veris visible because they're pretty honest. None are super sexual that I can remember.

...as been said before:

- my verification left the site, then rejoined, then left again and I, personally, can't see any point asking again and again

- mind you, not everyone is playing that 'verification' game, but that's got nothing to do with hidden verifications

This is exactly why I keep verifications hidden. Men asking other men about me, or even making comments to me directly about why I'd meet so and so but won't meet them

It’s probably a flaw that Mr and Mrs Fab need to look at to be fair. You can verify anyone and anyone can verify you, provided you are a paid member/or have been verified but any verifications you have you cannot delete them, you can just hide them….. I have a hidden verification and sadly the lovely lady who left it has since passed away so people have many many reasons why they choose to hide certain things.

I think it is important to remember that it is entirely the choice of the account holder to display what they want, when they want to, and not be judged or cross examined 🙏 Amen

I like looking at veris to know if I'm somebodies type or what matters most to them. This place can be so unhealthy though, and it's a rare occasion where I can say it's not just a single male issue.

I've two of his exes I'd like to avoid so I like veris being shown and I'll ask for them to be temporarily shown so I can rule them out or at least try (I know one of their usernames and the other one I dont because their old couple account is inactive but I'm sure she's rejoined). Northern Ireland is too small sometimes.

Somewhere in Co. Down

I have some veris on show and some are hidden, I have some that I cannot show as the person has left the site and while their numbers are counted in my summary but their veri is gone.

I hide some of mine for several reasons sometimes it's because the person who left it was not the person I thought they were at time. Sometimes it's because they are older veris, sometimes it's because they may contain details that I prefer to keep private. Or we have not being in contact for a long time so I don't see the point of showing them.

I don't get the whole attitude that people need to see others veris. It's actually no one else's business and I find it rude and arrogant when people expect me to put all mine on display for them. They either would want to meet me or not if I have to jump through hoops they can jog on.

Plus others veris mean very little they are usually glowing veris which don't even mean anything. I make up my own mind about people and I laugh when I get messages saying you need to look at my veris and see how amazing I am and the well known fabbers I have met

And then you get the people who trawl through veris and try to meet those others have met in order to prove they are better.

So ye to me anyhow veris mean very little and should be taken with a pinch of salt and people have a right to display or not display whatever ones they want without having to explain why.

I've had 2 other previous profiles over many years on and off here and have always kept my verifications private, because they are no one elses business apart from myself and the person who wrote it. I have also not left verifications for others for similar reasons.

I understand that verifications are used as a reference for a lot of people before they choose to meet some and no visible verifications can be a no go for many, but I will continue to do my own thing and if it reduces my probability then so be it....

So to answer your question, I don't find it odd at all tbh OP..

Sorry but this is very strange behaviour 👀 Sounds like they have a weird fascination with you, so much so, that they are willing to meet men you've met to 'walk on your shoes' per say...😲

Not necessarily. You can hide them all and not show a summary. The profile just has a verification tick. I think I'm right on that.

He was on something and I didn't know until it was to late. Now I don't meet anyone if there verification is hidden. To me it's a dangerous situation

Hey, sorry to hear about that terrible encounter you had. It sounded horrible, traumatic and an awful experience 🫂

I'm personally not into reviewing people like they are an amazon product or vice versa. I would solely base my opinion on my interaction with them on here or during a social meet to decide if I was comfortable around them (and them around me).

I trust my own judgement of character and gut feeling over other people's reviews tbh..

Eh, veris are pretty much pointless in our view, we trust our own judgement, not that of random strangers given to hyperbole.

We don't display our own because it's nobody's business who we meet.

Some people have displayed bad veries as a joke in the past that were deliberately written that way. I don't have any play veries and wouldn't display them if I did.

My verifications are there to show that I'm real and fairly social. It's nobody's business what happens after that.

While they tend to be on the overly flattering side, we like verifications as a little insight on what impressions/vibes the person(s) gives to others. Profile text is how people perceive themselves, verifications are a small window into how others perceive them. It's not perfect, but it can give a slightly better picture.

Abd if nothing else, it certainly gives a lot more confidence that the people behind the profiles exist and do show up.

I guess we are referring to Male profiles in particular, guys messaging and telling us how experienced they are yet having no visible verifications. Then it's I've yet to see anyone with a profile that made them identifiable in real life so I'm not really buying into the privacy aspect either.
