"Just be a confident person...don't allow yourself to be at anyone's mercy. Why do you let yourself be buffeted by people like that. Sorry it boggles my mind how you can allow yourself to be badgered by such folly. " I’m not badgered at all, I’ve been doing this for 22 years and I know how it all works, it just infuriates me when people still think they can control others on here, I don’t respond or go along with demands at all anymore, I did when I was 20 but I’ve learnt now. I want to write to all the people who I see trying to rule the way people act but I’d be typing all day, so thought it best to just put a post in here | |||

You would be surprised at how many who actually submit to such demands. | |||

They are being open about their opinions. You don't want to meet people with those types of opinions. Time saved- you know immediately that you're not compatible so no need to waste time chatting. | |||

"Why worry about people whose criteria you don't match? They're only hoops to jump through if you see them as hoops and not just an indication that you don't match what they are looking for. People are allowed preferences about who they meet regardless of the criteria behind those preferences. It just comes across as entitled when others bemoan those preferences." | |||

Guess that depends how much importance you place on being verified in the current situation when you can't meet anyway - if you don't then it doesn't matter in the slightest, if you do (although personally I wouldn't see why it would matter) then webcam veri is the only option you have | |||

"All of my veris are memories left for me, I show some that I want to and others that I don't want to, they are all special memories. I'm not bothered how many veris a guy has tbh and if anyone doesn't like mine then its up to them. Its your profile do with it what you want to " My memories are in my head not commented on fab, but that's just me lol | |||

Like perhaps the woman read my veris, and saw someone she knew personally or something? Actually I do remember her saying she had met someone on my veri list and didn’t trust them. Sounded like she thought I was setting her up pr something :/ | |||

"See its people like that who make it difficult for newbies to get any veri's at all. Do they not remember when they first signed up and hadnt got veri'd yet? Clearly im not going to be meeting anyone for a while, but that shouldnt preclude me from at least talking to people? Like has been said above, I just move on and dont waste my time on them if they wont waste a minute of theirs on me. They're the ones missing out on talking to/meeting someone potentially great" We’ll talk to anyone, I find my own chat is a much better indicator of someone than the veris. Verifications just prove you exist. | |||

Of course, its getting that first veri thats the tricky part" There are many ways to "prove" you're genuine though and to be honest for a single guy the issue isn't being proved real anyway - not many people will pretend to be a single guy. So all a veri does really is give one person's subjective opinion of the person being verified - which may not be the same opinion as someone else. Whilst it's true that *some* people won't meet those that are unverified, there are many that will - and usually a lack of response won't be down to lack of verification alone (in fact it's likely to be a very small part of the reason). | |||

"I had this on my previous profile. At my previous address I used to hold frequent parties etc. With these and my own meets I had around 250 verifications. Folks were judging me on sheer numbers without actually reading them. I was even geting abusive messages (mostly from jealous guys). Decided in the end to delete profile and start again....to many sad sacks on here...." Why delete it? It put off people who aren't compatible with you. | |||

Yes time got “wasted” if you see like that. Time gets “wasted” in all kind of situations. If someone isn’t comfy with my veris thats fine with me. Same if they don’t like my face, my beard or anything else. I want to play with someone who wants to play with me. People will always judge, for an array of reasons. Also if I talk to someone for any amount of time and expect they can’t say no to meeting at any point, then that’s a bit creepy. | |||

" This is my point, you’ve missed out because the lady you were meeting judged you on the fact you’d been verified by someone she doesn’t like or trust, who you’ve met or whatever in the past doesn’t make you the person they don’t like, it’s the other person they don’t like, but still you’re the one who’s wasted your time chatting to her in the first place, it’s that type of thing that makes me think we shouldn’t be showing verifications, treat each other as individuals I don’t think I missed out. Yes time got “wasted” if you see like that. Time gets “wasted” in all kind of situations. If someone isn’t comfy with my veris thats fine with me. Same if they don’t like my face, my beard or anything else. I want to play with someone who wants to play with me. People will always judge, for an array of reasons. Also if I talk to someone for any amount of time and expect they can’t say no to meeting at any point, then that’s a bit creepy. " I agree. I don't see it as time wasted either. Honestly, if all was going good, meet on the cards and then I had my hair cut short and it put the person off meeting me, I'd understand that short hair wasn't for them. | |||

"Verifications are either too much or too little for some people but I've learnt noones opinion of you matters. I've had guys say I've been around the block cause I have a lot of veris, other guys say in a fantasist as my veris are mainly from socials. That's why they remain hidden. my only requirement by meeting a guy is that he has a veri and its for my safety and that he is who he says he is. I have taken chances on unverified and been badly burnt so I very rarely will meet unverified but never say never." People say “oh veris are not important” but they really are. I only once met someone without a veri and it turned out to be a situation I thought I was going to die in, luckily managed to get (run) out the house and test how fast my car went from 0-60mph. | |||

" I can imagine it’s frustrating being judged but I think whats really frustrating many of the guys is the fact they’re not getting meets. Somewhere deep down there is a factor of entitlement or expectation rattling around. That’s a discussion for another thread though. | |||

"I absolutely read and judge based on the verifications. Not in a "Euw, they're a bit minging" way but if a man has a history of the kind of sex I'm not into, then I'll avoid him, if the virus mention barebacking he's getting blocked and if they've met someone with LOADS of meet verifications then I don't want to meet them either. The verification trail can sometimes be quite an unpleasant path." Oh yes. I always follow the trail | |||

"shouldn't everybodys verifications be at least 10 month's old now though ... excepting webcam veri's of course? My last one I veried a guy I fucked 2 years ago so he could prove hes genuine, he just verified me back out of politeness x" Different time line but same, I've done this a few times with folk who have left & returned. With newbies I will met them sometimes, depends as always if I like them or not same as everyone else. I do take folk at face value though until proven or shown otherwise. They are submitted to the same scrutiny as anyone else really. | |||

"Anyone else dislike people who are so self opinionated they say they won’t talk as your verifications are older than 3 months, or no verifications you must be fake, or too many verifications, then judged if a 20-30 year old has been with a couple in their 60’s on their verifications. I’m fed up of reading status updates where someone is saying people need self respect if they’ve been with older couples, if it was any other social category you’d be called a racist, sexist or homophobe, if people don’t like your profile it’s easy enough to simply say no thanks, people can display what they want or what they don’t want, not for others to direct " Haters gonna hate Don't let it annoy you or they've won twice | |||

"Seems like their is a lot of immature people on here and should be asking themselves why they are here I'm sure most people never bother to read the rules or any other valid information because everyone has joined for a purpose and should respect one another I've never encountered any difficulty as such but haven't had any rude comments but I think those who do act unreasonable should be a limit before they lose their accounts as everyone is a equal regardless having or not having verifications and things like harassment should be a automatic ban " | |||

"My original post was because I saw a ladies status update which everyone can see, where she named a male users ID, who she had not met and wouldn’t speak to, and went on to say the name and age of the woman he had met, and said have some self respect, she’s in her 60’s you disgusting minger, my point is, yes she can have her opinion and choose not to talk to him, that’s fine, but why go broadcasting it to the whole site, says a lot more about her I think, he’s had a lucky escape in reality, doesn’t stop my blood boiling thinking why she thinks she has the right to say he was a disgusting person because of who he’s been with, she’s entitled to have her opinion, but keep it to herself, which is why I said if it was a comment saying you’re disgusting because you’ve met men, tv’s people of colour, there would be hell on, but it appears ok to basically ridicule 2 people publicly due to age gap, because they’ve met, and had a good time, neither of them asked to have their user names splashed across this woman’s status, the poor woman in her 60’s has probably been inundated with messages now" That's not really about verifications, that's about being a crappy person. Disgusting mingers come in many forms. | |||

YOU run your profile how you see fit, THEY run their profile how they see fit. If you're not compatible move on, that's the beauty of fab, all are catered for. No need to call people out because you don't match what they're looking for. People with snooty statuses will put off more than they attract with their pseudo superiority. We're all on Fab looking for whatever floats our boat. Anyone not into casual encounters with strangers will view us all as deviants. So for me, anyone on here looking down their nose at how/who other members meet is akin to Lewis Hamilton chiding Valentino Rossi for going too fast! Hypocrite of the highest order. | |||

"Why worry about people whose criteria you don't match? They're only hoops to jump through if you see them as hoops and not just an indication that you don't match what they are looking for. People are allowed preferences about who they meet regardless of the criteria behind those preferences. It just comes across as entitled when others bemoan those preferences." Exactly! | |||

You can’t get to 10 and then stop them being added , it doesn’t mean your a slut or anything, just you connect well | |||

"I had this on my previous profile. At my previous address I used to hold frequent parties etc. With these and my own meets I had around 250 verifications. Folks were judging me on sheer numbers without actually reading them. I was even geting abusive messages (mostly from jealous guys). Decided in the end to delete profile and start again....to many sad sacks on here.... Why delete it? It put off people who aren't compatible with you. " Got pissed off with the abuse.... | |||

" I’m not badgered at all, I’ve been doing this for 22 years and I know how it all works, it just infuriates me when people still think they can control others on here, I don’t respond or go along with demands at all anymore, I did when I was 20 but I’ve learnt now. I want to write to all the people who I see trying to rule the way people act but I’d be typing all day, so thought it best to just put a post in here I think people who *demand* others to change their profile might think very highly of themselves and expect others to do as they're told to please them. You would be surprised at how many who actually submit to such demands. " Yes this I think ! Some people get above themselves! X | |||
