Morning troops!

So what does everyone think of verifications? Do you get putrid when you see a high number? Does it worry you when verifications are hidden?

I know it's a swinging site, but a high verification count puts me off a little (this is subjective and my option so please dont take offence, it's not aimed or judging anyone). I dont want to be just another number, I like a connection but also like to feel a little special, and a high number to me kind of goes against that.

Thoughts as always please!

They are off putting to me. Although are useful as you get a incite into the person... certain things would put me off instantly & its good to see the type of person someone has been meeting..

And you read them all? What if they have 100 but 98 are from social events?

Back to the question, it doesn't bother me at all

They are what they are, I don't show most of mine, I don't like advertising my sex life.

I don't mind if others hide theirs but I do like to see the summary, mostly to see if they've actually met anyone and aren't just verified by webcam.

There are loads of people who attend clubs and socials, a high number of veris doesn't always mean a high number of sexual partners, plus if you met someone elsewhere you'd have no idea about their sexual past so it doesn't bother me what or who they've done before, it only matters how they are with me.

So men on a swinging site are put off by women having several verifications !

We like reading the verifications. Especially as a bi couple as some men who list as bi, don’t specify ‘how bi’ or however you want to word it, they are. So it’s a way for us to not waste people’s time if it turns out we are looking for different things, like that they are only bottom for example.

People having loads doesn’t put us off, it can be annoying reading through the social/party ones to find 1-1 meet reviews.

We’re skeptics when all are hidden and it’s just a summary though.

We have a lot for the length of time we have been here, but if you read them, they’re almost all social meets. People who go to local or fab socials and clubs meet others socially and verify. If we see a high number we read them and find out if it’s lots of socials. But we aren’t here for love so don’t expect to be special

Of course but it's a double edged sword, on the one hand yes they definitely meet however on the other you're just a means to an end. Nobody wants to be objectified in anyway and be a glorified sex toy (well I certainly dont) and a lot of these profiles state I don't want to sleep my way around fab but then have 100+ verifications.

I'm not ranting, just expressing my opinion, hopefully us men are able to be picky too!

I think it's subjective surely? Yes there are people who meet 1 or 2 people a week or there are those who have 6 veris in one day through going to a social event or meet a few times a year but have been on here for a decade? ... just judging on numbers seems a little pointless if you ask me

It entirely depends. Some have been on here a long time so have a lot. Some have a lot and they're mostly socials. Some have a lot and they're mostly from the same person or couple of people. Some meet a lot but don't have veris from them all. Some people sleep with a lot of people outside of fab. Some people meet a lot of people but take very good precautions and get tested frequently. Some people can meet less people but don't take good precautions and never get tested. So i dont think you can really tell a great deal from it. If someone is daft enough to give away through their verifications that they partake in incredibly risky sexual practices, of course that would put me off but someone could have just a couple of tame verifications but be incredibly irresponsible with their sexual health.

As I said, I'm not judging anyone,

It's just my personal opinion from first impressions. It's just the same surely as discriminating due to height/smoking/action shots etc

I like to read verifications and make in informed decision.

Like everything else on here everyone's going to have different opinions, it's nice to heat what everyone else thinks.

There and to the left a bit

The number of veris doesn't bother me either way, the content of those veris may make me think twice though.

As others have said OP a lot of veris doesn't necessarily mean that person is having sex with all of them, or even any of them - I have probably getting on for 40 now, the majority of which are social.

To look at it from another angle, how do you *know* that person with just a handful of veris on show isn't actually a serial shagger who barebacks with someone different every night, but has just chosen to hide most of their veris and their summary? You don't based on veris and profile alone.

Veris are a guideline, nothing more - the *only* way you are truly going to get a feel for a person is by talking to them, and getting to know them a little - yep that old thing called communication again - it works wonders you know

This ^^^ if you're making opinions on veris alone then you are limiting your options incredibly whilst it's actually not on a preference ie height/size etc just on a judgment of them personally!

Veris for me don't mean a lot except interesting reading and I might then make an informed judgement on non compatibility not based on numbers

I agree. Loads of veris put me off too. Different if they’re social though obviously. Everyone has their opinions and all looking for different things. I don’t think it’s judging just coz something isn’t for you. I won’t meet people if they’ve met certain people either. People can do what they want, it’s not affecting anyone else.

One person has 500 meets a year, and chooses to show no veries.

One has 20 socials and shows them.

You can make assumptions from veries, and that's fine but it would be foolish to make a judgement based on the number of veries on show....when there's the option to show or hide them.

I don't advertise any.. Don't particularly like reading other people's it's just a very good verification tool. How many do you see... Over a year, 2 meets 1 man/1 cam 2 years ago. You know that's not a legit profile.

At least people know you're genuine if you have a few and from recently always helps too.

Some people take a break so having a verification over a year ago doesn’t make them fake or timewaster. I’m taking a break as I’ve met someone on here but if it doesn’t work out and I decide to meet again then mine could be a year ago too.

So socials and club meets I think are different, I should of explained more in my OP. Time in here is also a big factor.

But if I look at a profile of say a single woman, and it's full of explicit meets of different men in as so many days that to me is off putting. Again, before anyone gets offended that's not what this is about, I think it's the same as people with bareback pictures on their profile. Its opinion and I'm just after a healthy debate.

Number doesn't matter, preferably around three if I want my mind put at rest. Any less and I may doubt how sincere and how female the other person is.

How well they're written matters a great deal. I'm not talking about grammar, more content and style.

I tend to base most things on how the conversation flows, veris arent be all and end all.

I like the verification system on fab. I'm on other sites where they don't have veris or reviews and I'm always so wary of inviting people that contact me on those sites into my home. Just feel like I just know nothing about them. Veris provide a valuable insight into someone's personality, whether they are genuine or not and also their likes.

It's not a realistic measurement of how many people a person has sex with! Anyone could have sex with 300 people without a verification, you seriously believe that? People have social (no sex) verifications, veris from organised social events (no sex) ... people have sex without verifications and omg sex other than off this site!!

I know it's a swinging site, but a high verification count puts me off a little (this is subjective and my option so please dont take offence, it's not aimed or judging anyone). I dont want to be just another number, I like a connection but also like to feel a little special, and a high number to me kind of goes against that.

Thoughts as always please! "

I have recently hid mine

My summary shows a high number , not many are play nearly all from hosting club nights

I’ve been on here 7 years so they are going to be high

Doesn’t really bother me if someone was turned off by the number - they are missing out not getting to know me

"And you read them all? What if they have 100 but 98 are from social events?

Back to the question, it doesn't bother me at all"

Quite. There is a difference between a social or even no touching club meet and a sex meet.

"Well I've only fucked a couple of my verifications the rest are just friends. I had a high number on my old profile due to group socials so high verifications does not make someone the 'bike'"

Why would it matter to anyone if you were ‘the bike’? That’s your choice surely.

Filtering out the hyperbole and platitudes, you can gain a reasonable impression of someone when combined with their profile, pics, and forum posts."

I've never said it's an indication of how many people they've slept with, however it is a high number from here which on first impressions could be daunting to somebody such as me.

I've been to one club and had 1 verification from that, that doesn't mean I've led a sheltered and sex free life.

I'm a very guarded person so I only show what I want to (hence the no profile or public photos) people make their own opinion (most likely wrongly) from that, it doesn't mean I get offended or I judge them, like somebody said further up the chain, just means they're missing out.

"I agree. Loads of veris put me off too. Different if they’re social though obviously. Everyone has their opinions and all looking for different things. I don’t think it’s judging just coz something isn’t for you. I won’t meet people if they’ve met certain people either. People can do what they want, it’s not affecting anyone else.

Yep this is also me. I prefer the new people, I'm far more likely to meet them. Always on the side of caution when it comes to forum guys as well. "

As long as the people I meet practice safe sex who gives a shit how many verifications they have. I would never judge anyone on how much fun they have. It's all about friendship and mutual pleasure at the end of the day. I would personally like something regular with a lady or couple but each to their own.

I had 9 or 10 verifications on a previous profile and I'd only been naked with one of those. The others were from social meets including 2 from couples.

I took the decision when I came back to start with a clean slate and not ask those people to verify me again for a few reasons.

Half of them are no longer on the site while some are in fab relationships and I don't want to complicate those.

I prefer to chat to those who don't have lots of veris regardless of how they got them because I prefer long chats and getting to know people and grin experience those with lots of veris or fab friends don't have the time to chat to all of those.

Veris seem a bit pointless to me.

Unless they're side splittingly funny they just say "I met this person", and even then I know there are a lot of fake meet veris on fab from friends who just text.....

If I ever write a veri I try to make it worthy of both displaying and reading, more of a thank you than a recommendation, we're all different......

Verifications that don't appear aren't necessarily 'hidden'. If someone who veried you leaves the site, the text disappears, but it remains on the total.

Oh again, I dont disagree with any of your points, and as people have pointed out, meeting somebody in a bar is less of an indication than veris on here.

I have achieved my aim today though, I have heard opinions from a wide variety on here which has probably left me more educated and willing to sit through the veris than I was before.

We use them just to see people are real, it wouldn’t bother me if they had loads, some of ours are just from people we have chatted to in a club and they aren’t really a true reflection as this is about our 5th profile over the years. We wouldn’t meet with anyone who didn’t have one though.

I'm a nosey bugger and quite like to see who people have met. But, the verification system is really as useful as a chocolate teapot with regard to sexual safety and judging a person. Yes, it can give you an idea about someone, but they could have fingers in pies all over the place. I must admit though, I have stopped displaying recent meets from Forumites as like to keep people guessing. Having lots of verifications doesn't make anybody a bad person, they just enjoy sex to my mind

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Displaying verifications is a damned if you do, damned if you don't affair. Some people like to see verifications and think it suspicious when they're not shown; "what are you hiding?" comes to mind. Others are put off by either the amount, content, who you've met or any combination of the above. Some, like me, could care less about the veris and make up our minds through interacting with the person. Everyone's different.

I no longer show mine. There's too much jealousy, spitefulness and innuendo around. People don't need to know what I get up to and I don't care what they do either. All that matters is if I like the person and have a connection.

Why’s that?

Because when I leave them I say who I met, that they were genuine and something smiley about them, as most are social. Never false.

One of ours is false. Someone saw us on webcam and selected meet when they verified. We hide that one as we weren’t comfortable with the dishonesty.

99% of my interest in veris is just that a profile has them and that the users appear reliable.

I don't care about how many and any commentary about srx is a reflection on the author, so it's not my thing.

Ok, if ever a verification highlighted a shit shag, disrespect, unreliability, I'd probably notice. But I don't think people would publish them.

If someone asked me to show them my veris, or even questioned mismatched numbers “what are you hiding”, they would get a flat no !
