But why do that when you could just do it yourself

Some will probably do so, but I'd think generally it's the right person.

It just means that someone is there as indeed someone has to be to join the site. It does NOT mean that they are prepared to go and meet anyone or are actively looking for meets or clubs etc. In my opinion they are not worth anything, whereas a verification from another verified member means so much more.

"But why do that when you could just do it yourself "

A) Because your really a man pretending to be a woman, or

B) because your really 70 n the pic is your 25 year old grandson

I've had to deal with both A n B

Photo verification is stunningly flawed.

I create an account, upload a face pic (of me) and then a photo verification pic. I get the flag!

I then proceed to upload pictures of someone far fitter who is attractive and has a much larger cock (this is not difficult!!); I publish these on my profile and send them out to prospective meets. Job done. I'm photo verified but its a complete lie!

I would honestly say that photo verification is good for proving that you are a couple, man, woman etc. - but its by no means a guarantee that the picture you're looking at, or have been sent, is the real deal!

Really I genuinely cannot see how you would ask somebody to hold a sign with a swingers site on it and them let you take a photo of it.

As has been said I always look for veris from meets

The key here Is photo verification u don't have to a clear head shot to do it n let's face it not exactly hard to set up a fake profile is it?

The only time i'd pay any attention to it is with newbies to the site - show's a little more positive intention than nothing at all - however if it's still just photo verified after a moth or so and a single fem or couple - I may be slightly more cynical.

Everyone takes things at different speeds but it's not hard to arrange a social meet or attend a club social to enable others to verify you.

See my first post on this. The photo you publish / send has nothing to do with photo that's verified.

Maybe but you don't verify someone who says they are female then turns out to be a male or someone who is 25 and they are infact 75!! Which is what my point was.

If 'B', did you contact Admin about it? They are supposed to check that the person(s) in the photo 'broadly' match the profile description.

'A' is somewhat easier to fake admittedly. There are wigs and make up.....

All NW

Photo vers are just for newer members. Verifications in person are much better BUT if there's only one or it's poorly written I check the person doing the verification too, I run a mile if that persons account isnt verified properly - that's right you sad fakers we can spot you a mile off....leave the site for the real swingers...

and how do you know if there profiles verified properly ???

as with most things all the tools the site provides are for you to use to help you in your search the conclusions you come to are your own

Surely the same could be said about webcam verifications or the old phone verification.

It's not fool proof but it's better than nothing and if in doubt meet for a social first. Simples

Apologies, I thought you were referring to 'Photo Veri' not a 'Meet Veri' - though to be honest the latter is not difficult to fake either.

Hate to say it, but the weak link in photo verification is the moderators approving people without actually paying attention.
