Apparently I'm a fake because I'm not meeting at the moment. I've been accused several times this week, all by single men who I don't meet anyway.

People on this site are weird at times...

Fakes stand out like a sore thumb on here. If it's too good to be true it's usually fake. Tis the silly season.

Its more likely for a single man to pretend to be a single woman or couple than a single woman or couple pretending to be a single man. So I rarely come across fake profiles.

This and be more selective maybe?

If it's not working how you want it take a break rather than leave?

Beacuse, as explained in the first paragraph of my profile, I don't mind chatting to people. I often offer advice on certain subjects (mostly car related) and people have questions that are better answered via pm than cluttering a thread.

Taking a break isn't going to help the fact thatthe site is too eager to get numbers up on their register than try and help genuine swingers.

We have been on a few site where administration vet every single profile application. I think fab need to look into it

They'd have to charge a hell of a lot more for that to happen. This site is free so will attract some dumbos chancing their arm, but its also lightly modded, and so I suspect admin are happy for us to do the vetting. Report fake profiles as soon as you come across them, and help keep the site good.

Ok so the fact that we are both photo verified and have cammed means we look fake??

We look for quality over quantity I'm sorry we don't have 95335 verifications, but tbh, we don't find everyone attractive.

We'd happily pay more money to get rid of the fakes, but I suppose that's just our opinion x

it's not me you are selling your profile too...if meet verified people look at the profile...many would dismiss just as you dismiss possibly newbie fakes..

I have cam veris, meet veris..so I dont think cam verifies are pointless..but I've seen a good few fake verifies in my several years on the site. All in all my maths works for me..

An attractive couple with only 1 cam veri ....

10 months and not one suitable match ?

Not even a social meet ?

What do you guys think makes a fake profile ?

Getting photo verified and camming really doesn't amount to much .

The irony is there for all to see I'm afraid .

As for your suggestion that quality over quantity is your thing and you don't find everyone attractive - that suggests your area is full of nothing but unattractive swingers . Hardly endearing .....

Accounts who joined over a year ago, no verifications not even photo verifed, no pics and says they new to swinging and when you ask for a pic they try getting out of it and asking for more of you.

Couples profiles who look real, last verification over a year, and when a meet is arranged all of a sudden female isn't able to make it because she's ill, each time to try and rearrange she has had to go away to see her sick gran. Nothing but excuses why she can't make it x

Wow, no wonder this site's diminishing, ok for the none believers

Our Skype is available to you, and all we require is an apology after we've cammed on here after you've seen us both.

1 cam on here in 19 months on verifications, there are over 30 people on our friends list who we have either cammed with or more.

We honestly can't believe that you can sit there and call us fake when you've never even spoken to us

"I could go on for hours on how to spot a fake profile lol x but I'd be here all day x"

every few weeks I'm contacted by a couples..

its all good chat to start...they wish to set days/nites times etc..

they might be verified by 1 at best.. I even give my number over..and I expressly mention I wont meet unless I've spoken to the female half, they agree...but she never ever phones...

I hotlist and watch the profiles most of the times..or check my saved messages and see they are unlos...

It'd be verrrry rare if I put my weekend on hold or ventured out to meet a couple I wasnt at least 99% sure on.Fuck I've even turned up at a meet(well verified)..expecting the female half to know who I was(based on the 'xxxx's' in messages), to me it waqs clear she had no fucking clue who I was and looked way too uncomfy in progressing from the social.

Yup I have high cynicism...but it means I cant complain at getting timewasters/fakes etc, as I play by my own rules most of the time..lose out on a fuck?...so be it...

So i activated all filters, including newbies and not verifieds and message those that get my attention/interest and display what I am looking for.

Guess I could ignore half the sites functions (free to use ones) & instead complain about how others waste their own lives/time or enjoy their little fantasies by allowing them to message me and allowing my time to be wasted sifting through my inbox

I know we're all new once but I don't feel bad about expecting someone to wait a week if they really want to message. I've had great meets with unverified men. They had to wait at least a week though

well never know how people define a fake profile, to us its a "no show"

But the thing is, many single people like to fantasise and the internet is an ideal place to communicate with people you are never going to meet, if it saves them doing silly things in the real world , what harm ..a few minutes chatting asking questions could be the only contact they get..connie x

I don't think people are saying you are fake, they are saying it's veri's like the ones you have are frequently used by fakes as some people will see the male half on cam and verify as a couple without thinking about it, verification by meeting is far more reliable as an indication of genuine swingers.

We look for people with verification from actual meets as less chance of fakes and time wasters.
