I’m the same, I know guys find it hard to get a meet but there’s lots of ways to get that first meet. I don’t meet anyone that hasn’t been verified by a meet in the last year " I think labeling as fake as no meet in a year is wrong to discount, there are a few forum posters in this category, not forgetting the obvious ratio between the sexes. So don't go out of your way for a social you may be pleasantly surprised. | |||

"I'd be slightly suspicious but if he ticked my boxes I'd be happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'd still think if we arranged something that he wouldn't show up but that's the chance you take with anyone on here!!!" i agree with you...i'd rely on the impression and info i got from actually chatting before completely dismissing them.. | |||

"I beg to differ .Sometimes people who have verified you may no longer be members or perhaps only prefer quality meets or could be using other sites. Always best to meet for a social and see if there’s any proof in the pudding!" It’s true... you’d love the written verification if the person left the site but not the green tick.. | |||

"Not everyone wants to or feels the need to have or display them though. You may not wish to display all your verifications... but maybe 1or2? Or the summary? " I think regardless of whether you display the verifications themselves or the summary, the green tick to indicate verified still remains visible I think I'd be inclined to ask anyone why they're not verified where that is the case - could be a valid reason as suggested above. | |||

"How are newbies supposd to get meet-verified in the face of this reasoning? Newbies... I don’t expect to be verified right away.. What would you say is a reasonable time frame?" Well, in my case I've sent mumerous polite and well written mesaages to many ladies and have been active (although largely ignored) on the forum, witj no real results, so it can be a real challenge despite the effort, and I most certainly am not fake. I am, however married, so no doubt that counts against me big time. I'm open about this on my profile though. | |||

"I try to stay away from people that have no verifications after a year. I know everyone's situation is different but to me it shows no effort as there are many ways to get verified." If I had been on for over a year with no verifications I would start a new profile so people didn't know. | |||

Honestly though I've had meets arranged with singles and couples and they've cancelled at the last minute and I'll admit that I cancelled one meet.

"Not much hope for me then. " Why don’t you keep your eye on the Forums for a local Social hunkimunki? It’s not a nerve wracking as attending a Club on your own, it’s just a bunch of local Forumites having a get together usually in a pub or community club, & you get to put names to faces of folk you chat with. I don’t know about your area but we have loads in Glasgow & it’s a good way to increase your Veri’s. Just a suggestion. On the original post of the thread though I’d tend to be cautious of a profile that’s a year old, moreso if there’s no pics or little info on the profile. It could be they just want to view cams, collect pics, or as others say, a fake profile with no intention of ever meeting. | |||

"I mean I know that first meet for a man could be a challenge with all the competition on here... But anything over 3-4months is suspect isn’t it?" It’s very suspect , and shows a complete lack of effort on their part . I would suggest that no veri in a over a year indicates a fantasist . | |||

Its not always obvious as to all people on how to go about getting meet verification's especially when they are new.
