"Which veris are you talking about OP? The photo upload one to prove you're real and the one provided by another user?" Yeah sorry those two are the ones. | |||

"Photo verification proves that a person is the gender they claim to be. Verification by meet proves that they met someone and probably didn't piss them off. " This. The words in a veri are largely irrelevant. I'd rather not see graphic blow by blow accounts of what went on. All it needs to say is they turned up, looked like their pics and were nice. Simples.

"This is what I thought, I just think its harder to get that first user veri. Difficult to get that if no-one will meet as you don't have one.Feel like that's the barrier you have to get through first. " Only advice id give you is get out there attend socials ,parties maybe a club get your face known ..put in the effort reap the rewards | |||

A" I sometimes look for patterns. But I don't look for "sucks like a Dyson", it's more like, do ten people seem to imply that this person respected their boundaries and was pleasant to be around? (When I first joined it was a safety issue. Wtf am I getting myself in for? But there were X verifications going back Y time that indicated that this person was respectful - I took the chance) | |||

"Yeah i feel that creates this kinda feedback loop where noone will meet cus you have no veris, so how do you get the veris XD" Everyone starts with no veris. Everyone starts from the same position. There's no avoiding that. There are things you can do to help you and things you can do that will definitely hinder you. Once you work them out you'll be fine. A | |||

Also you could try a social event. There’s one in Northampton on 11th June which is usually a fun one. Not sure it that’s too far for you. | |||

"If you have only been verified by cam, not interested. If its a meet and played then I always look at who else they have played with. If its too many then I stop looking." So numbers are important as well? Better to have a few rather than loads. Im also getting the impression that veris should just be a comment how good the person was socially rather than what actually happened? | |||

Face to face rather than messages. Someone would always come out and meet you if you’re uncomfortable walking in alone. | |||

He was quite active in the Irish forums and came across well. So after chatting for a while we met for coffee. | |||

"If you have only been verified by cam, not interested. If its a meet and played then I always look at who else they have played with. If its too many then I stop looking." How many is too many? You know people shag off site and that not every meet on here results in a veri? The number should see will never represent someone's actual activity so why would a specific number be a negative? The same as someone with just one or two may well have just had a bareback gang bang the weekend before where they fucked 50 people they'd never met..... A | |||

"Photo verification proves that a person is the gender they claim to be. Verification by meet proves that they met someone and probably didn't piss them off. " Spot on. And if this isn't what you was asking opp, then my answer would be. I love cams but a veri is just brief to say yes I've seen them on cam pretty much. (only of asked to in pm) Then the real life meet veris is when i get in my bag and start making that sound like a very specific representation of how the meet went. If it was super hot i will ou that and mean it. If it was shambolic I'll just block you | |||

"Personally I don’t put much weight to them. Just because they’ve met someone else it doesn’t mean that we would get along. Veris can put me off sometimes though" They put me off too If it wasn't for the veris made by others i probably would've had alot of disappointing meets by now. Thats why i make mine specific to help others out.i don't have to im just thoughtful | |||

"Question speaks for itself really. Just interested in people's views since one is very easy to achieve and the other can be (at least it seems to me) more of a challenge. " Actual meet veris, whether for a social or a play date, mean the person is genuine, and matches what they have put in their profile. This is actually all anyone really needs to know. Repeat meets over and over from regular friends are just lamppost pissing, and basically off-putting | |||

I have never shown sexual ones so from a sexual point of view veris don’t really mean much x" I had a profile on here since 2008. If I'd had one meet that was verified per month since I joined and changed the old single profile to a couples one rather than start afresh, and all of them were on display...... we'd have 168. Which I'm sure some would see and think 'ooh, that's a lot, best not meet them as they obviously shaggy anything and everything'. Truth be told I probably had half that number of meets per year when I was single. But nobody would have known that. So the number would be even higher. Everyone is entitled to decide what number is acceptable or excessive of course but if you honestly think you can get an accurate picture of someone's sexual behaviour from their veris..... then I have some magic beans you may be interested in buying.
