I am wondering why to people hide their verifications, specifically single guys.

Like everyone we have encountered a few fake people and a lot of time wasters.

I look to see if people have been verified and read through them very early on.

I’ve found a lot of single guys are hiding them, I don’t understand why?

I don’t hide mine, the ones that I am missing is because the people have hidden their profile or have left the site

I hide most of mine because people are too quick to judge. I have met alot of people over the years at socials and clubs but folk just look at the high number and presume i have had sex with them all.

not entirely hidden. you can see i've met women.

i'll periodically unhide to those who ask to see them.

I would keep mine up to give people an idea of my personality as my veris on my past profile didn't mention any specifics of play. I think Fab arent displaying any atm though due to Covid.

There's a not inconsiderable number of profiled out there that are willing to verify (either for free or for a fee) to enable new "single" guys to get verified. It's quite possible that those verifications then get hidden.

I like to have them to say I'm genuine. But I don't really like the trip advisor aspect to it.

If someone left a veri, it's going to be decent anyway, it doesn't need to be left out there for everyone to read.

And some that you read are just cringe too, not mine of course

Veris are supposed to prove a person is real so I like the ones that do this. However, I dislike my lovers rating me like a toaster on Amazon. For me, it’s not a badge of honour as it is for some, but rather cringeworthy. My opinion only.

If verifications received before covid were displayed then hidden there is no option to now display them, any new meet verifications also can't be displayed.

This place is a gossip factory at times and people do strange things with the knowledge of who you have met.

For me verifications, if we even exchange them are more mementos of a special moment than a Trip Adviser review and I keep them private as I feel who I have met, whether than was for a coffee or sex is between us. I also recognise that others are free to do what they like with theirs. However most of the verifications I send after an intimate encounter are unlikely to be published, because they are personal.

I meet so infrequently it is a moot point anyway.

It’s nuts that people would judge you on that.

I would look at a high number as 100% genuine and active in the scene

So many reasons!

Whoever verified them may have asked them to. Maybe it was more detailed than they wanted to be public. Maybe they no longer want to meet people like them.

Verifications disappear when a member leaves site too.

And atm, any meet in person veris written since lockdown aren't being displayed either.

People don't tend to leave negative verifications so as long as they're verified, that's as much as I need to know personally.

There's also the unnecessary drama that people like to avoid - I've had unpleasant behaviour from people in the past because I've met someone they fancy, and I know people that have been told they won't meet them because they've previously met someone they don't like. All very childish, and in my opinion there shouldn't be a place for unmanaged jealousy on a swinging site, but we're all different

"It’s more for the guys where it shows they have verifications but they are hidden "

I guess for some they take the view that their summary shows they have met and been verified - which is the point of a verification - who they have met and what happened is of no importance to others.

My summary and visible veris don't add up, some are missing because people have left the site, some have been hidden because they're between me and the person I met (but don't contain anything salacious) but I leave enough social meet ones visible to give a flavour of me as a person

Op...I hide mine because they are personal, and, as others have said, people judge.

If you look at someone's profile, the white tick in the green circle means that they have been verified.

That’s fair enough. I’ve encountered a couple of people recently who where 100% fake profiles. They all had verifications.

The ones which where hidden, I possibly should just ask in future to see them.

Just feels a bit cheeky !

I have one from my friend Helen because I just wanted a green tick when I came back. If I displayed it then ppl might think I've only shagged my friend Helen, who I actually haven't shagged, but the have shagged other ppl, honest....

I think veris are bollocks really, I've never given a bad one but I probably should have.....

I can do what I like, much the same as you. I often think that verifications can skew someone’s perception so it’s best to leave them private.

There is a very easy solution, request to see verifications.

I do, if a guy will not obliged then move along.

I'm happy to share mine, but as you say alot of fakes and time wasters.

I'm not interested in the "1-10" kind of verification, just a simple "yes we met, yes hes real and genuine " all the rest is down to personal experience and not significant.

Because the green tick shows they have been verified - or their verification summary if they've chosen to show it - so just because veris are hidden doesn't mean they're not verified and don't show that they are

On our couples profile we hide / display verifications for multiple reasons many of which have already been mentioned above.

We also don't like it when guys try to contact people that we have met, and therefore as soon as we are made aware we hide that verification for a while.

I don't want a verification from me or us to be a badge of honour. A guy recently messaged my HW profile to say that having a veri from me would boost his chances on the site...that's not something I am interested in.

For some social events you may need 3 verifications, on our couples profile we have that and I am not interested in receiving more even if we do meet people.

I rather like keeping who I have sex with as a private matter between me, my boyfriend and the people who we play with. For me it suits the discretion ethos.

I think it may be because some of the verifications are not from their target demographic.

Eg feedback from a meet with a guy when they want to put across that they are looking for ladies/couples.

What goes on between me and the person I meet is between us and no one else.

When reading verifications I take them with a pinch of salt, much the same with everything on this site.

People lie about things, big themselves and their meets up.

I’d rather form my own opinion of someone.. but then I’m quite choosy on who I meet.

The other thing is, veris shouldn't be the be all and end all that some make them out to be - for me they're a bonus feature that I rarely pay any attention to of people that I have met - I tend to use my own judgement and spending time getting to know people to lead me to decide whether I want to meet someone, not the views of others - so veris of other people are of minimal importance to me.

Now I do place importance on them as one of my safety checks - us single ladies are in a pretty vulnerable situation on a meet. It just gives me peace of mind if there is a visible verification trail, and means I can enjoy the meet with less of a worry that I'll be cut up and turned into a lampshade

In a previous life I had 2 verifications by folks that were Completely incorrect.

1 was obviously meant for someone else as we didn't do things I was getting verified as good at. Lol

The other was from someone I never even met, nor would I. Again that must have been meant for someone else

Some can be super cringey especially if they detail every little detail that went on and include horrendous spelling and grammar.

I hide mine on here as I have met 2 folks I reAlly wish I hadn't. Lol.

People hide their verifications for whatever reason they choose to. Don’t be judgey. Just chat with them if you want to. Trust yer gut feelings.

You can tell if someone is on the same wavelength pretty quickly....usually.

Happy fabbing folks

We have yet to receive a verification and the much coveted little tick. When we do finally get one it will entirely depend on the content as to whether or not we display it.

I do look at verifications and find the ones that describe personality and sense of humour more telling than those that give a blow by blow account in graphic detail of an intimate meet.

Let’s just be grateful that there is no star rating system

That's a fair point and totally understand, but as has been shown veris actually prove not a great deal, you never see a serious negative one so to your point they are to an extent worthless - although agree the veri trail *can* be revealing at times.

And to take your point and slightly turn it back on you

Whilst I'd agree that women are in a pretty vulnerable situation (and definitely more so than men for the obvious reasons), does that not also apply to men to a degree? Whilst physically we may be stronger, there are any number of vulnerabilities that we all, regardless of gender, leave ourselves open to when meeting.

Which all comes back to my point about veris not being the single most important factor in deciding whether to meet, as opposed to taking time to get a "feel" of people for yourself and using gut instinct rather than relying on the verification of another, usually, stranger.

Know it's not quite as simple as that, and totally see your point, just adding another perspective.

"Hi

First time poster on here

I am wondering why to people hide their verifications, specifically single guys.

Like everyone we have encountered a few fake people and a lot of time wasters.

I look to see if people have been verified and read through them very early on.

I’ve found a lot of single guys are hiding them, I don’t understand why?

Simple, it’s my business not anyone else’s!!

Absolutely, and I would encourage more men to follow safety checks rather than thinking purely with their small brain

As I said, it's only one of my safety steps - I do the usual sending details of where I am and who I'm with to a safety buddy, and check in at an agreed time. As well as getting to know people and listening to my gut instinct. But as someone who's had a couple of stalkers (including one where police were involved), it's just another level of security to make me feel safer.

Absolutely not! Stay picky!!

Use your instincts, and their profile as a filter.

A guy I began talking to refused to upload a clear recent face picture, so its game over for me at that point. If I dont find them physically attractive, and they are sending or using very old pictures, its a red flag. Be careful, be selective, and above all, have fun!

"In a previous life I had 2 verifications by folks that were Completely incorrect.

1 was obviously meant for someone else as we didn't do things I was getting verified as good at. Lol

The other was from someone I never even met, nor would I. Again that must have been meant for someone else

Some can be super cringey especially if they detail every little detail that went on and include horrendous spelling and grammar.

I hide mine on here as I have met 2 folks I reAlly wish I hadn't. Lol.

People hide their verifications for whatever reason they choose to. Don’t be judgey. Just chat with them if you want to. Trust yer gut feelings.

You can tell if someone is on the same wavelength pretty quickly....usually.

Happy fabbing folks"

No judgement here, if that is what my post suggest well that’s not my intention.

Like a fair few people on here we are here to meet for sex.

We have encountered a lot of fake profiles , and time wasters.

Again, like most we don’t have a unlimited amount of time to spend on here. So, we like to quickly work out the genuine ones.

I don’t care what they previously did, I don’t want detail.

I'll also add that I'm not interested in what the verifications say, and won't judge about previous meets, for me it's just the safety side that they've met others and there's been no untoward behaviour...and yes, I know nobody would display a bad verification, but if they have a few good ones then, in my mind at least, it shows they're less likely to be an axe murderer

I’m going to be honest I feel like a right twat now posting this. Haha

I have got a much better understanding to why people hide them now.

I am getting good at spotting the fakes now.

Like the extremely hot guy who msgd me showering me with compliments. He had hidden verifications .

I asked to video chat , he couldn’t so we had a telephone chat. The pic’s and vids were of this big black guy in his 30’s from Bristol.

His voices was that of a high pitched lad from west wales who seemed to be early 20’s.

He got quite nasty when I wouldn’t send him vids or anything else until we had video chatted.

My first filter was the verifications and that failed !

Top tip- don't send pics, vids or do any sex chat before you have met them in person. Some people are just looking for wank chat and won't ever meet. Some will post the pics and vids on other sites.

Hello OP, welcome to the forums

There's been a lot of negatives flagged up on here about veris. I have to say I've never had a negative experience related to our veris, that I know about at least! We used to display them all but as we got a few more I cut it down to just a representative selection. You do whatever feels right for you - same goes for how you run your profile, what pics you put up, how you use fab in general. If people want to make assumptions about you based on veris or anything else without talking to you, then that's on them. Chatting to people and going with your instincts has always served me best

"On our couples profile we hide / display verifications for multiple reasons many of which have already been mentioned above.

We also don't like it when guys try to contact people that we have met, and therefore as soon as we are made aware we hide that verification for a while.

For some social events you may need 3 verifications, on our couples profile we have that and I am not interested in receiving more even if we do meet people.

I rather like keeping who I have sex with as a private matter between me, my boyfriend and the people who we play with. For me it suits the discretion ethos.

If I leave one it tends to be for their eyes only. Rather than a rating or retelling the evening I tend go for humorous or private jokes. Most of the veris I leave are just for socials.

If/when I receive them? It's my business and I wouldn't go round telling everyone what had happened so I don't want to display it for the world to read.

Hey!

Thanks for that. There is certainly a lot I hadn’t considered, and lots I had no idea about.

But ultimately, going forward, if I have a suspicion they are not what they say they are, verifications or not ... then it’s a waste of time. I won’t make the assumption anymore that a verification makes them real. I’m not particularly here to make a ton of friends or be active in the scene, just here for sex end of.

We hid ours just as lock down started. Then found out now they are hidden, due to the site restrictions they cannot be displayed again. A message pops up saying they can be displayed once site restrictions have been lifted.

Guess due to the restrictions it cannot differentiate between existing Verifications and new ones. Summary displayed instead.

This is me too. For me they are a memento to look back on, they are not to boast of who I’ve met and what we did! Displaying your verifications can also cause friction between females!

People hide verifications for all different reasons. May be they don't want you to know, it's as simple as that. For example, you might see a gorgeous guy who has met someone you might consider a bit risky. If you don't see that veri, his chances of more meets may increase not decrease. People judge, they really do. At the end of the day, verifications mean jack as you will never know how many or who a person has met! People lie or hide stuff. For me, I don't show all mine as women can be real bitchy and jealous so I like to keep them private.
