"I don't understand? You think she was blanked because she had no veris? How would he have known if she only smiled at him?" That’s what I read too. Can you clarify OP? | |||

A more cliquey environment i think. I had trouble too just basic socialising. Is it a trend happening, ? Resulting in social meets where you need veris to attend? Depends on who's organising event i suppose | |||

People go to a lot of trouble to organise socials, it take a lot of time and effort. The ones we've been to allow anyone to attend but some put limits on single guys or insist that attendees are verified I think if they are willing to put the effort in to organise it all they're within their rights to specify certain criteria for attending ![]() | |||

"You're judging the whole scene by one persons perceived reaction at one event? Maybe he didn't see her.." Yes he saw her. I was 3 feet away and facing the right way. Not basing the thread on this incident alone, also the requirement to have a veri to attend an event. Hope thats a one off and not a trend. | |||

" I've seen and been to events where veris were required to attend and where they were not An organised event is just that - organised. It's down to the organisers to make any rules and send any invites or manage guest lists. I've been to clubs where veris have been required too. And others where they weren't. A veri is no guarantee of anything behaviour wise as it's just one person's opinion, but can be one small step to ensuring those attending won't cause problems. I don't get the anecdote reference though. I'm sure plenty of single men have smiled at single women and couples and been ignored before. A | |||

"If it was a veris only event one presumes the lady in question must have at least one? So she couldn"t have been blanked for that?! More likely the guy didn't notice her or something else was going on (lovers tiff perhaps?). " Ah, no you didnt need a veri to attend the social when the woman was blanked., thst was about 4 monthz ago. seen one event now though where now you do need a veri | |||

"I think you're reading an awful lot into two separate things OP to be honest. To deal with the "smiling" incident first - perhaps he didn't notice, or didn't take the smile as an invite to go and chat, not everyone, me included, is great at reading signals, perhaps he didn't find the lady attractive and didn't want to waste her time by going and chatting to her and letting her think there was an interest on his part, perhaps he wanted to go to the loo and didn't want to engage in conversation that would delay that, perhaps a million and one things that unless you spoke to him you wouldn't know. Either way that situation happens countless times a day in all sorts of situations not just at swingers events. As for a requirement for veris to attend a social - as has already been pointed out, the organisers of socials are entitled to stipulate whatever conditions of attendance they want in order to balance numbers, ensure that potentially undesirable attendees are kept away or any number of other reasons - it's no different really from individuals having specific preferences or things they look for when arranging to meet others one to one from the site. Or put another way, it's no different from a club having entrance criteria. Ultimately if you don't like a stipulation for attendance then there's nothing forcing you to attend just find a social that you do like the look of and that doesn't have those stipulations. Every social event I've attended has been well run and welcoming and indeed very sociable and I appreciate the effort the organisers have gone to to ensure they have been that way ![]() I take on board what yer tellin me ![]() | |||

It takes a lot of effort and organisation, not something I would take on. However I do think it can be quite tricky because I've seen a lot of threads with guys saying people won't meet them because they don't have any verifications. The common advice to this is to attend social events, so I guess if the socials want people that are verified only than this can be an issue. | |||

Hats off to anyone who does and respect their decision if they dont want to invite unverified people. I just hope that's not a trend. | |||

It's not a sad endictment as you seem to be saying, it's simply to ensure the event goes ahead and the attendees do attend. | |||

But I guess if you're not verified it can be a Catch 22 situation. | |||

Having seen first hand some of the enquiry messages and thread posts from single unverified men it's no wonder social organisers are starting to request it. On a thread a few days ago, single man declined a place as the guest list was full. Ranting, abusive, insulting posts attacking the very people he was trying to get an invite from. Some single guys really don't help themselves. | |||

Same thread, same social, a couple got chippy. They asked a question that was never going to be answered on a public forum. They were advised same and told to message the social profile. Their response was pure entitlement. Organising group socials, getting the numbers right, the right mix and (hopefully) the right people is a bloody nightmare. I really don't envy those who choose to organise group socials. | |||
