We never exchange face pictures, being protective of our privacy. If people choose to interpret that as not being "genuine", then we won't be meeting.

I do have a face pic open on my profile but I understand some people are not willing to share theirs , too many pic collectors here so I never ask for one , if they want to send great if not I won't assume they are fake as long they are at least pic verified

I have no issue sending a face pic on here. I'm single and nothing to hide.

However I do send the same face pic that is on my kik & Facebook page. So if the shit hits the fan, I can always say it's a pic from one of those.

That's a bloody good idea!

To be fair though faces have a lot to do with how attractive I find people

"If most people aren’t into sending a face pic on kik or Snapchat would you first instinct be theese aren’t genuine? I can never fully trust some one onless they send me one or have a good few pics on their profile "

Nope. My first instinct is that they are cautious because they think I might not be genuine. Particularly if the profile is a fairly recent one and they may be new and nervous.

A good indicator to me however is how quickly someone wants to jump to kik (I don't use snapchat. I'm not a teenager). If someone is pushing to move a conversation to kik, it makes me question their motives. If I say I'm happier to continue chatting via mail here, and they're OK with that, it's usually a good sign. If they're really pushy about kik and then the conversation grinds to a halt after I say no to kik, chances are I was right and they were more interested in pic swapping than actually meeting.

Agree totally. When I asked for a face pic last night, Snapchat and Kik was mentioned, as above I prefer to chat here for a while. If I'm meeting will add on Kik. Was than asked for a body pic and knew straight away what the reply to the pic was going to be.

Exactly this . Face pics are from Facebook & for exactly the same reason . And this isn’t Blind Date .. there has to be an attraction.

I am not so fussy about kik , I actually asked some to go there since then I can keep chatting and get notifications instead of constant here reloading the page ( I access fabs by my email , and if I turn my email notifications on my phone goes mental and it's non stop buzzing

If the person won’t share a face picture how are you supposed to know who you’re meeting?

(Assuming you do a social hi before an actual play meet)

That's where the secret handshake comes in

A friend was complaining recently about women's face pics, and how even when they do send one its half-hidden behind silly Snapchat bunny ears and whiskers. He asked how the fuck he was supposed to recognise them in person. I suggested he brought a bunch of carrots along and looked to see who looked hungry!

That's where you're wrong. Not a site supporter! But then, I wouldn't be chatting to so many people that I won't be able to recall the conversation anyway

For us, attraction is established (or not) via the social meet, its personality that will get us that far in the first place. It works for us, others are free to do as they want.

The biggest reason I have for needing a face picture is the fear I have of meeting the wrong person (again) at a prearranged place.

Quite a funny experience, he was waiting for a POF date, which wasnt actually me..

But he was pretty much the right description to the guy I was due to meet that was running a little late unbeknownst to me.

But there's no issue, you just say 'hi, are you whoever' and if they're not, no biggie.

That's exactly what I did on my first ever coffee meet. We were both nervous and hadn't exchanged face pics. We only exchanged phone numbers that morning after weeks of chatting. I was about 10 minutes late thanks to someone calling to the house just as I was leaving, and my meet thought for sure he was being strung along. But it all turned out great, we had coffee, and another coffee, and then a few drinks, shared a few laughs, and the following weekend we fucked each other's brains out... And the weekend after that... And the weekend after that...

I also met my fwb for coffee without swapping face pics. Was more than pleasantly surprised (I still think he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen, and I was left breathless when he kissed me before even saying hello), and fortunately he was happy with what he saw too.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I've met guys for coffee who were clearly using face pics they'd taken 10-15 years and several inches of hairline ago, or even someone else's photo.

There's no guarantees even with a face pic.

It's always a good idea to reverse image search your own pics from time to time to see if they appear anywhere else, or if someone can find you that way.

Plus remembering to unlink accounts is good too... Otherwise you get Fabbers you've chatted to on here or on kik showing up in your suggested friends on Facebook.
