Right I'm gonna put a scenario out here, purely for advice please.

Been talking to a another couple for a few days, chat going reasonably well, and early on we sent a face picture, just so they could see us.

They are gold site supporters but not verified either by photo or in person and have been on the site for a couple of months.

When asked if they have a face pic they said they don't have any.

Question is, how long do you keep chatting before pulling the plug on the grounds that you don't think they are who they say they are I.e a single guy posing as a couple?

Pull it immediately, 🚩🚩🚩

Even if they don't have face pics uploaded to fab they could send or take one and send it as a direct one with the auto delete sent.

Could be a genuine case but personally too many singles posing as couples when it's so easy to get photo verified or send a photo.

I usually give them 6 or 7 messages and if still no picture I get bored of them.

They could be beautiful but there’s a line where it becomes rude.

If they're not verified at all and have no face pictures I wouldn't really give them a chance.

Not difficult to get verified or upload a face pic

each to their own regarding face pics and some never send but are genuine. However the site is overrun with fakes, site supporter status anyone can get, photo verified is more reassuring as is a verification BUT not conclusive.

Alternatives exist- a phone call, a whats app video call...

How do they react on being challeneged but first and foremost go with your gut not your groin, better to regret NOT sending then to regret sending

Get a site supporter code yourself and autodelete a face pic (but non of the others- physchology if all pics autodelete they will expect it)

Reading your tone in the thread- don't send

Never, ever, ever send face pics

If you do, then they have your pics and they’ll use them to lure other couples to do the same

Always have a quick video hello

Real time, everyone sees everyone, nothing to hide

No video, no chance

Thanks, that's one option I think

I think it's long overdue that fab make it so that you can't screenshot on the site. People would be more likely to share face pictures.

We have been swinging on and off when life allows for around 9 years but keep that side of our life very secret, it's our guilty pleasure and sending face pictures to new people is always daunting for us. Especially now the site is full of fake profiles 😔

Being able to screenshot or not wouldnt matter theres other ways, anyone could just take a pic of the pic with another device

Agree fab shouldn't allow screenshot capability on this platform, i came off here for a while as I had my pictures taken and used for another profile under some viking name, fortunately someone alerted me to it and that profile got removed.

Understandable that some professions people will be sceptical about sharing faces, that being said if you are genuinely looking at meeting someone then they are going to see your face.

If someone messages us and they’re not sure verified we just say we’re happy to chat once they get it done.

Funnily a lot never message back again.

As for swapping face pics can always use something like Snapchat or telegram etc that way it’s separate from fab and it’s just a picture
