" I know once you have your first meet verification, it works in your favour, and stands you in good stead. " This is often said in forums, mostly by people with no verifications - it’s not the gate to the emerald city that you think it is. And be warned - someone will tell you to go to an organised pub social to get your first as this is the most straightforward way… | |||

"We would arrange to say hello to someone in a club if they have no verifications, even if they don't send face photo's (we would never send face photo's to unverified). We'll happily have a chat and send a verification. " To add, our first verification was from a club owner. | |||

That way those that do t meet without verifications can whittle their search down, and those that haven’t been verified are aware of who they can contact 😃 | |||

"We all start with zero verifications, none, zero as we begin our Fab journey. We all have to start somewhere. Someone has to take chance on you and meet you, otherwise no one would ever get any meet verifications. I know once you have your first meet verification, it works in your favour, and stands you in good stead. So my two questions as soneone with zero meet verifications after three years on Fab are - 1/ How long had you been on here with no meet verifications before someone gave you a chance? 2/ How many people will meet unverified people?. Considering that someone gave you a chance when you were unverified.? " Pretty much every verification of mine that are of a sexual nature are with people I connected with after meeting and chatting at socials. You have made many posts on the forums in a similar vein to this one. People have advised you to get over your fear of socials and get along to one, yet you still choose not too. Only so much of a personality can be seen through messages on here, for people to see the real you they need to be stood in front of you. If you choose not to do that then you are always going to be overlooked by the guys that do. Grow a pair of bollocks and get yourself to a social, it won’t guarantee meets but it is likely to open doors to some. | |||

"1/ How long had you been on here with no meet verifications before someone gave you a chance? 2/ How many people will meet unverified people?. Considering that someone gave you a chance when you were unverified.? " A1 - No one gave us a chance, and we never asked for it. We signed up for a local social straightaway believing it to be the best way to dip our toe in the water. By putting ourselves out there rather than relying on an online presence alone, we had 6 verifications within a week. A2 - We will meet unveriified people. Given that we prefer to meet young single men, almost everyone we consider meeting is unverified. | |||

Lots of people value the verification system and use it as intended. Fake veris are obvious and easily spotted. And just because fake veris happen doesn't mean they invalidate the whole system. It's easy to say it does from a privileged position though. | |||

"I'm always bemused when people exclaim that verifications are pointless or worthless. To some they are invaluable, in varying degrees." We are also, we read more into verifications "than they are real". There are things that are said in verifications that stop us replying, we'll then add it to private notes. | |||

"Would talk to them on phone first n if got good vibs from them then go from there." That what we do - i chat and gives a better insight along with profile and if someone has lied on profile/messages, I can easily pick up on that and a polite bye from us. | |||

"I'm always bemused when people exclaim that verifications are pointless or worthless. To some they are invaluable, in varying degrees. Indeed, for those who find them invaluable also appreciate them - and they are also acutely aware that verifications on their own don't enhance their experiences on Fab. But it helps. At the very least they help in demonstrating that the person is real and genuine. It also speaks volumes about the person who •gives• them (e.g. on the back of a group social for instance). It's the perfect form of altruism giving an attestation to someone who has no verifications whatsoever, as long as the verification is accurate and true. I don't always gain verifications from every meet. (There are always nuances to some people's rationale on why they give or why they don't give). I have verifications - and no one is more appreciative than I. As for fake verifications - they pale to insignificance in comparison to the genuine ones. People claim that verifications can sometimes cause drama. Verifications don't cause drama; people do. Verifications are pertinent, they have a value and are useful. And when I hear contrariwise it reminds me of the millionaire telling the pauper that money isn't everything." thats cool if they mean something to YOU but as a couple/single woman to me the mean nothing as said so many are fake then you have the pointless cam veri and then 90% of veris are just social ... im not interested in any off them the ones i was interested in were the play veris until it become apparent alot were fake .. also your a guy you dont get to see fab from a couples/women point of view you dont get the inbox full of junk you dont get the vibe we do its a different world compared to a guys in box | |||

"I don't meet anymore coz in my experience being verified means nothing as ive had time wasters that are verified " Well if not being ‘meet verifified’ means you’re a time waster then it must work!? Because I’m not ‘meet verified’ and up to now I’m wasting my time!?… | |||

"Yes , its not TripAdvisor or checkatrade." I think the system is flawed! You could meet someone who isn’t verified and can’t verify you, but I’ve seen people actually saying on forums that their friend verified them!!.. And if that happens as often as that makes it look then 80% of ‘meet verified’ people is a case of it’s not what you do it’s who you know!?… | |||

"Getting verified is straight forward if you go to organised socials in your area or further afield and talk to people. Verification and meets follow from that . It's been said time and time again on the forum . However some people seem to think a verification is a magic pass to having your messages answered but I can tell you it is not . However chatting to people at a social is worth the effort." Nearly every single profile I’ve seen states people who haven’t been ’meet verified’ will be ignored and a lot seem to think that the unverified are just time wasters and I’ve been on here a over a year! Not everyone has the money or the confidence to go to social events for a first time and speak to people who they’ve never met!? People might prefer low key a coffee and get comfortable. I don’t see why being ‘meet verified is more reliable than photo verified when people are verifying people they’ve never met other than in a facebook/pof/tinder profile etc it isn’t!.. plus people have been to social events and been refused verification!.. | |||

"Everyone starts somewhere Even the more successful people on here I don’t take much notice of verifications. I like to take the chat off here and have a phone call before any social meet may happen Whilst that may not work for all it works for me Just because you’re verified doesn’t guarantee you’ll show up. " That’s what I’ve started to do! There’s quite a lot of interesting chat goes on… I tried the cam app but I didn’t look very good wearing my glasses and when I took them off I couldn’t see the phone properly!.. | |||

"We got our first verification here within a few weeks but that wasn’t by someone giving us a chance, it was by actively seeking out people with similar interests at a club where the host verified us. Lovely verification though it was, I am not sure it opened any doors. We have met people without verifications but always have a social first. I am not sure we would meet anyone without any verifications after a year though when there are so many people with verifications which show they are more likely to be reliable, sociable and motivated to actually meet. It may sound harsh, but we also wouldn’t meet anyone who asks for advice on how to talk to people or write a profile. " Maybe that’s maybe my fault in a way!?.. I made the account about a year ago and never used it until the last 4 weeks.. | |||

"I recieved my first veri a few weeks after joining. Popped along to a social, chatted to litteraly everyone there. Made a few friends that i still socialise with now. Being verified doesnt magically open the thighs of all the stunning women you lust after though. It may however get you past certain filters. If you are struggling to get verified though, either go on cams or go to a social. Getting verified isnt difficult really" I’ve only started using the account really and I’m meaning like I’ve been on here years.. haha | |||

"A verification is not the be all and end all. To me they are important though. Is a cam veri as valuble as a social veri or a meet verification. Each has its own merit. Would I meet someone not verified. Yes, most likely. At clubs i dont ask if someone is verified or ask them to verify me. If we get on we get on and at some point fab names are usually mentioned. If looking on fab for a meet, a female account that has been on here for over a year with no veri's would imply to me, rightly or wrongly, that they are not keen on meeting" I see what you mean!.. Good point.. | |||

"I read comments from the distinguished people here, I applied this strategy and even with going to a social, I never got any verifications. Don't even know if going to a social is worth it. Any suggestions? " • I'm curious to know what actually occurred when you went to this social. Did you speak to anyone or engage in any way? Did you even introduce yourself to the host and chat to them? The host would have verified you. If, however, you sat in the shadows whilst peering into your drink and oblivious to all, perhaps even loitering aimlessly without purpose then you're going to walk away disappointed. And, dear fellow, do not disregard the comments from the "distinguished people" on here. They are distinguished for a reason. They are all fêted (some are fetid), they are lauded, they are experienced and battled-hardened, they represent the landed gentry on here and worthy of high praise. They revel in their success whilst others get caught in the slipstream of disappointment. Persevere and try out a few more socials. | |||

"...rather than sitting at home sending out 7483937 messages to every woman within a 200 mile radius and getting no response." · Oh, I don't know, many years ago when I was still wet behind the ears and getting acclimatised with this wretched place I was happy to scour within 300-mile radius to find the perfect women. Then I discovered to my horror, shock and disappointment how this place actually worked, only to discover... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... there are no perfect women. 😉 | |||
