That's why we only entertain guys over 35

I'm not saying ALL guys above 35 are like that though... some are complete pillocks!

Also not saying ALL guys under 35 are not capable of acting polite and attentive (before I get shot!)

I agree. I don't see what's wrong with asking someone to clarify what they mean. Especially if it can be read as a 'catty' remark. The lack of

or other smilies do make me think something was not said tongue in cheek

Well I don't study other peoples veris so I don't really know, so therefore just a guess.

Maybe older guys are more mature and are gentlemen and have manners and respect for women. Perhaps some of the younger guys are only here for a quick fuck in between regular girlfriends and think swinging is an easy option for that. Hence they've forgotten about you before the condoms even rolled off.

Well you obviously do - you're the one who started the thread asking the question.

I'm sure there are a good number of young guys who are polite and wish to show their appreciation of having a good night by writing a verification.

Like I said I haven't audited the verifications of certain age groups on this site so its anyones guess isn't it

Isn't what makes a verification one of the 'best ones' all subjective anyway?

Of course it is.

You say that you wouldn't write a 'bullshit veri, but in the same breath state that you wouldn't write a bad one.

Thus you are being neither candid nor sincere, you are avoiding stating the truth. That's real bullshit.

It does support the arguement that people don't really say what they think... but it's more about being 'selective' as to when you share your honest opinions.

Why would anyone want to receive, let alone write a bad verification?

We have met a few 5 star plonkers in our time and could not possibly say "we met this 5 star plonker last night... avoid at all costs".

Why write something pleasant about somebody we found to be unpleasant? That will be so misleading to those that read and take head of verifications.

There is seriously no point in "turned up for social meet, we wish you luck in finding what you want" veri's... It speaks volumes when you read those!

adjective

lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity; falsely or hypocritically ingenuous; insincere: Her excuse was rather disingenuous.

No need to re-read, I understood it perfectly the first time.

And yes, it is disingenuous. Because not writing the bad veri is the equivalent of only answering the questions in court you are going to answer truthfully, but not the ones your going to lie about.

It's not candid. It's truth on a selective basis i.e when it suits.

Agreed...and so rationale leads to the premise, that as the truth isn`t to be found in some veris..using the veris as an asssessment of a profile..is rather pointless..except to say they turned up fer that meet, tho no assumption should be made that they turned up fer them all...

Veris are smoke and mirrors..

It's not candid. It's truth on a selective basis i.e when it suits."

so am i understanding you right then that if i decide after a meet, that wasn't my bag, to just not leave a verification as the only things i could say about them would be negative in my opinion of them that would then make me disingenuous even though they would never show it on their profile so all i would be doing would be insulting them and hurting their feelings??

if that is what you are saying then i'm proud to be disingenuous

"Verifications are like leaving cards at work.

Nobody writes what they really think.

We would never write a bullshit veri. If anybody wasn't worthy of a decent one, we wouldn't write one.

Which is, in itself, disingenuous.

No it's not.

Of course it is.

You say that you wouldn't write a 'bullshit veri, but in the same breath state that you wouldn't write a bad one.

Thus you are being neither candid nor sincere, you are avoiding stating the truth. That's real bullshit.

Why would anyone want to receive, let alone write a bad verification?

We have met a few 5 star plonkers in our time and could not possibly say "we met this 5 star plonker last night... avoid at all costs".

Why write something pleasant about somebody we found to be unpleasant? That will be so misleading to those that read and take head of verifications.

There is seriously no point in "turned up for social meet, we wish you luck in finding what you want" veri's... It speaks volumes when you read those!

Hence my original point that veris are like leaving cards at work.

I wouldn't write a thing in a card if I didn't like the person.

Others will feel compelled to, even if they had previously found the receiver of the card pissing in their tea the day before... not us.

No need to re-read, I understood it perfectly the first time.

And yes, it is disingenuous. Because not writing the bad veri is the equivalent of only answering the questions in court you are going to answer truthfully, but not the ones your going to lie about.

It's not candid. It's truth on a selective basis i.e when it suits.

Me too.
