FabSwingers.com forum: What's the point of face pics?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

We don't send nor do we even have face pics available! Why? Because there is no point! Do you know for sure the pic is of the person you are talking to? The only sure way is to use live webcam. Not prepared to use webcam, even wearing a mask! We smell a rat! But we don't have a webcam! What year is this? Soon work out whether or not you want to meet after a few minutes or even seconds on cam. Avoid the sad man acting as a woman and the man who wants his wife to play, but she knows nothing about it! While you are wasting time with them, you could be talking to real swingers.

Hmm…we’ve exchanged face pics before meeting with the women we’ve met from Fab, and their face pics were of them, just as ours were of us. So can’t really see the problem.

Your username would be a bit contradictory if you sent a face pic.

If you want blind dates then that's fine but most don't and I've never met anyone who hasn't shared their face pic (although one was about a decade older in person).

We aren't willing to go on cam, can't be bothered. Best anyone will get from us is a face photo. We aren't fake

I won’t do cramming to prove I’m real.

I’ve exchanged face pics with people, and then met them, and amazingly, they were actually real.

Whatever works for you though

If I don’t see a number of face photos, I don’t meet. Simple as that.

When I ask for a face picture from somebody I always request that they wear mickey mouse ears, put a marble in their left nostril and lick/place their tongue 3/4 up the back of a ferret.

I’ve never received a fake face picture.

Or a face picture.

Cramming to prove you are real does sound like a bit too much to ask, yes!

I've met lots over my ten years, never cammed and every face pic has been of the person I'm meeting.

If anything, most face pics don't do the person justice.

I think it would be strange meeting someone from here without seeing what the person looks like. It's not blind date lol. I wouldn't meet anyone who wouldn't give me a face pic. Red flag for me x

I ask for a face pic if they're holding that day's copy of the Daily Mirror and holding up their driving licence and passport with a letter from their parish priest verifying that they who they say are.

If they can't do that, I just accept that if they don't look like their pics, when I arrive, I'll be on my toes with a no thanks.

I don’t cam, there’s a couple of face pics on my profile, anyone I have met I’ve exchanged further face pics with and never met anyone who looked any different to those pics I received

I certainly wouldn’t cam just to prove I’m real…in fact that level of need to validate myself would put me off x

Didn’t read your long winded thing above ! No offense I’m tired

But When you look as good as me face pics are a game changer !

It’s my personality that fucks it up

If you’re sensible, there’s no need.

It's not hard surely - you can sense straight away if the face matches the other photos on their profile and you can get them to take a direct photo and send it with a shot of what's on TV at that time in the background or a news paper from that day?

I hate video camming. If this is a deal-breaker for you then that's fair but so is my preference. It doesn't make me fake.

I don't cam I hate it so I refuse to do it. I also don't do phone calls before a meet.I usually chat on here for a while before I meet and get to know the person. I don't ask for face pics but usually find if we chat and get on one of us usually sends a pic at some stage. If someone is put off by the fact I won't cam or talk on the phone that's fine they can move on. It's worked for me so far so I happy with how I do my fab journey.

Honestly in this day and age, even webcam is no guarantee of anything. Anyone else read about that 50 year old Chinese lady who became a famous vlogger using video filters to pose as a girl in her early 20s?

Thank you! Someone gets the point! At our virtual pub, masks are optional, we don't mind you bringing your own drinks, clothing is optional, hell you can even fornicate and the landlord won't throw you out! Remember though, the landladies decision is final! Cheers

At least….you obviously have a criteria before you meet someone, others have a different criteria

I’ve spoken on the phone to some and not to others - it’s not a necessity for me x

Yes, we’re no fans of camming - although cramming is fine!

A call and then a social meet has always worked for us. But we don’t insist on a call either, we’re pretty good judges of whether someone is real or not. If we meet, the attraction is going to either happen or not happen regardless of any previous communication, and that you can only judge in the flesh.

Forever seems long, I’d mostly likely guess until you get bored

I went to clubs where i met people who they become friends this the way most easy to me to get verified, i had meeting and they still happening , i went to socials but i never had the need to go on camera but yes i have exchanged face picture . To resume camera is not the only way to see if someone is genuine . Requesting a face picture where one can ask to hold spoons in a particular way with something written at your choice in a papper can defenitly be also a good prove that they are genuine. There's many ways to check if people are honest or not
