"With the prevalence of fake profiles ever increasing I tend to only look at people who are photo verified. As a result I automatically reject a large proportion of profiles. Can anybody suggest reasons why people don't photo verify? Thank you." Privacy. Use your filters to remove the people you don't want to see from your searches. Your problem solved. | |||

"I just haven't bothered. I've multiple in-person verifications on this profile, and our previous couples account was also well verified (and many already know me from that profile), so photo verification seems superfluous " Totally get that, in person verification does make photo verification redundant. However I was more thinking about newer profiles where no verifications were present, often 1 or 2 photos shown, but not photo verified. | |||

"With the prevalence of fake profiles ever increasing I tend to only look at people who are photo verified. As a result I automatically reject a large proportion of profiles. Can anybody suggest reasons why people don't photo verify? Thank you." To clarify, I was referring predominantly to profiles where no verifications existed, but there were typically 1 or 2 photos on show. | |||

"With the prevalence of fake profiles ever increasing I tend to only look at people who are photo verified. As a result I automatically reject a large proportion of profiles. Can anybody suggest reasons why people don't photo verify? Thank you." My meet verifications speak for themselves so have never felt the need to either as a single female or a couple. Seen and reported so many fake profiles that have been verified...couples now only single men, single women who only meet with their partners...it's not much of a safeguard against being let down so have never bothered and don't bother checking either...meet ones only are what interest me... | |||

Never made any difference to my experience and I don't look for green flags on profiles, moreso green ticks. I only did it in the end so I could post videos. | |||

"For those expressing 'Privacy concerns', perhaps you could explain something to me because I'm really struggling to understand this. Verification photos are not made public. They are automatically set to private and you are unable to change it. Just checked my gallery and it states underneath '100% private - will never be seen on the website' So I ask, what are your concerns exactly, as the only people able to view your verification photo are the admins that verify your profile when you submit it." I don’t put anything online I wouldn’t be happy being out in the open if whatever site I use gets hacked. That’s why I won’t photo verify. | |||

Connecting username and face (body isn't always accepted, or wasn't for me) connects professional persona to sexual activities. | |||

"With the prevalence of fake profiles ever increasing I tend to only look at people who are photo verified. As a result I automatically reject a large proportion of profiles. Can anybody suggest reasons why people don't photo verify? Thank you." We think it should go a stop further and be either video or photo id required for verification | |||

If someone leaked a face attached to nudity they could get jail time and placed on the register. | |||

Best not to upload it in the first place as far as I’m concerned. | |||

I don't understand why people don't understand this. If people don't care about being outed or their professional profile being damaged that's fine. Others are not so fortunate so choose discretion. | |||
