On my first profile it took a few months but I also didn't go to any clubs or socials for a long while. I'd say that they're very important for a guy as it helps show you're not going to ghost people or not show up.

Not long. I don't collect them and rarely read them on other's profiles. I have my own brain and don't need others comments to help make my mind up.

About 11 months, I recon its more important to have them then to show them but I suppose it depends on how you're using the site

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I've seen many proliles stating that they won't reply to men who haven't got verification meets on the profile.

What annoyed me about it though.. Was the ones who assumed I had to intention of meeting, because I had no veris for months.

It's not that easy for men though.

It took me a while to get my first veri because I took my time getting to that point. I’m happy I did it the way I did.

I like to display the MLS veris but everything else is private. I like to read veris and I love mine. Like little snippets of memories

Go you OP! It didn't take me that long at all. I love veris, it's nice to read what others think of you (not questioning accuracy/validity of them here) and it makes me smile reading them back. Like a little snapshot.

Hiding in the shadows

I had my first within a couple of minutes

Was told about the site by someone already in here

As for how important they are?

I rarely leave one from a 1:1 social meet anymore

I'm not fussed if I don't get one either

I've been here long enough, I don't need them and as I've found they often cause more harm than good

Wahoo!

My first profile was set up for me and verified by him straight away. I deleted it in horror

Then I snuck back on a new profile and had a social with someone who didn't veri me then a few lovely meets with other unverified folk so probably took a month or so.

I agree with the harm statement. I'm not playing the 'veri game' as people often use them as a stick to beat you with or collect them.

Getting your first one does carry a degree of value though as people can see that you're genuine.

Congratulations OP, I remember telling you when you were 2 weeks in that it would take about 6 months...

Didn't take long but we play at the club so bound to be members who are on here. They don't actually make a difference to us as we were playing with others long before coming on here.

I think it was about 6 mths for my first social coffee. Dont really think they make any difference on a womens profile if you're vertified or not.

Not got one yet .

Not bothered about it but understand some look upon it as a badge of integrity.

Would never display them ,some have 100+ wtf !!!!

Always a social first then move forward.

If not trusted for a second meet don't invite me ....
