Same as before though, if we search couples looking for couples, there are plenty of results, but very few have pics of the guy, which is an instant turn off for my Mrs. Does anyone else find this an issue?

"It's not an issue for us. We get many winks and messages off couples with only photo's of the Lady and we ignore them, no issue. | |||

"Yep! We just use it as a filter. " We assumed last time we were on that was a good indication of fake profiles, but so many of them have verifications. Obviously at a club, you see both parties, we're maybe missing something, but honestly can't understand how a couple can have a profile that only shows 50% of them on the pics. We've already seen a lot of profiles we would be interested in exploring more, but when clicking pics, there's absolutely nothing for Mrs to see, and at that, she's out, same as I would be if it was all pics of the guy. | |||

"Yep get this all the time with my couples profile. Sometimes it is laziness, sometimes the lady is much more attractive, sometimes a sign that it is all more about her having fun and little consideration for the female of the couple. Worse is when you give the benefit of the doubt and ask for pics of the man and get back a really crap one or a cock photo. So as commented above a good filter, well at least an orange flag. The best couples we’ve met have pics of both. | |||

"Yes with me being straight it's a massive issue for us. I'm so over it now though, if they don't dm us photos of both they can jog on." Yep feel the same way. Don’t have much patience for it. | |||

It just makes me think they don't actually give a crap about what I might want and therefore, as you said previously, a great filter. | |||

Actually met a couple like this at a party (perviously swapped messages and failed to get pics of him beyond his cock) and they were quite similar in real life - she was front and centre looking glam and he was walking around in her shadow barely talking to anybody | |||

"Our couple profile is only 6wks old So? With an attitude like yours Say no more " What is wrong with my attitude? I was asking the relevance of being 6 weeks old in the context of this thread and the discussion. | |||

"Not an issue at all. People use their profile however it best works for them. If it doesn't work for others then they could just move on to one that does. There are plenty to choose from. You don't look in a baker's shop window and complain they don't display car accessories. Profiles are just shop windows. " Yep agreed on moving on. Trouble is you get bakers complaining on Forum or privately that you don’t want to buy their car parts that they are not displaying | |||

"I prefer to organise and watch, than take part. I’m always there, but prefer to watch, or lightly take part, but this is in our profile, so generally only have pics of the wife. I generally find there most of the couples that contact us seem to just have the guy wanting to play, with various excuses why the girl won’t this time, I suspect, that many of the couple profiles are just single guys." __ What both-straight couple would ever want to play with you two if you (the male) rarely takes part? You will only get interest from males or the male in a couple because you don't show and you don't play. What can you offer to the women in a couple? | |||

Broadly I agree although the OP is clearly into various kink/BDSM scenarios rather the classic swinging swapping thing so perhaps some couples where male dom half wants to do things with two sub ladies or female half of couple is domme and wants to be involved perhaps domming her partner and another lady. Probably other scenarios but it's a stretch and definitely niche and not Fab mainstream so not surprised not much interest. | |||

This post I realised l responded to appears to be from a couple, genuine, who meet mostly single profiles if young men (20s-30s). Couples meets are possible, the way you described it, but unlikely. Therefore not sure why he cares whether there's a woman or not in the couple (or fake couple), as long as there's a young male. Having said that, he is probably right that couples approaching him are fake, a genuine couple not into the scenarios you described would not make excuses, they would openly say "I am not interested because I'm straight and I can't see you, the man, but my husband/partner he is interested in playing with the woman while you watch", for example. | |||

"Yes, it's not a game of blind date. If it's a couple and the male has any intention of being present them we want to see both. Mrs isn't going to share with any old guy just because he's managed to rope a woman into the mix. The quality of males potentially involved to us are just as important as the females. Infact sometimes profiles push so hard about the female and say/show so little of the male, makes you question what's wrong with him? Surely they'd want to show him off too? We do understand there are some reasons why they don't show pictures of the male or on the rare occasion the other way round (and its actually a genuine couples profile, not just a single guy). However if we can see them (public photos or private message) we're not likely to be intrested. Because seeing a bit of who may aim to end up naked and in bed with is an important factor." As we tried to say above, what you want to see is absolutely immaterial: A profile is based upon what the owners want to show, and because it's their profile they have the right to post whatever works for them without any need for explanation, excuse or reasons. There are plenty of things we would like to see, and even more things we really don't want to see and if a profile doesn't work for us we just move on. There a plenty to choose from. | |||

" Yep seen this too and asking why they can't find a "unicorn" too. Of course people can choose what they want to post, but if both expect to be involved in meets, I can't honestly fathom why they'd only show one of them on their pics. Even if she is the most attractive (as many say) the other couple or Lady are still going to want to see him. | |||
