"I think you're overthinking it. I took ages to get photo verified (and had "meeting in person" veris first), simply because it wasn't important to me so I didn't bother. " Same with me. I've still not bothered with the photo verification, as I don't see the point. And I've got over 30 meet verifications | |||

"Photo verification is worth nothing. We haven’t done it 1. It confirms only your genital situation versus the gender you selected. You don’t need a face pic 2. You can include a face pic. We’re not leaving a digital record of our faces and username anywhere thank you As with most things you need to keep your eyes open. Fake profiles, photos and Veri’s can be spotted. Report and block Have fun Xx" As above, didn't want my face and username uploaded, nor did I want to sent a headless naked photo. So I chose to be verified by the community instead. I guess it is a handy feature for new women or couples to get their foot in the door by showing they've verified recently..but after that it doesn't Count for much. | |||

"We got verified by a close friend when we opened the profile and then have been verified at clubs several times since. Why would we look to be photo verified? Even if we did, do admin check every new photo to our verification photo to make sure it's the same people? I'd think not with the number of pictures with "not the missus" captions. We prefer people who have personal verifications by people who have a few verifications themselves - especially if it's from people we have come across ourselves." I see, thank you for your input! | |||

"As I understand it, photo verification is just to verify the type of account ie male/female/couple etc. It’s not a check against other photos on the account. I’ve not done it, because I’ve got meet verifications that verify I’m what I say I am, and I’m also not comfortable having the types of photos needed for photo verification on the site at all, even if they’re not public. " Oh, I didn't know this. From the replies thus-far it seems like I should be fine bumping up how trusting I am of meet verifications assuming the people giving them are also legit looking users. To your knowledge has the site ever been compromised/hacked? Thanks for giving your two cents | |||

Appreciate you reinforcing the others thoughts here. Its reassuring there is a consensus around this. | |||

"We've never gotten around to it. You have to be photo verified to upload videos, but there's no other real benefit. " I have been convinced of my erroneous ways. I see the light. Thank you. | |||

"Hello everyone, I'm a newby to the scene and would just like some clarity on this. You see when I notice profiles without photo verification, I immediately feel unconvinced that they are legit: even if they have user verifications. This is for 2 reasons 1. Photo Verification is simpler to accomplish, so it doesn't add up that they could get user verifications yet had not been able to get photo verified. They can of course choose never to do it, but it baffles me as to why not just get both done!? 2. I'm under the impression that user verifications can be manipulated, meaning I can't feel safe to assume that a or multiple user verifications negates the value of photo verification. So ultimately I'd just like some clarity from you more experienced users. Is this unsettled feeling I have unnecessary. Is a user verified profile without photo verification no cause for concern? Thanks for your time! " It's not that we're "not able" to get photo verified, there seem zero need when we have met dozens of people in person. In reality, it is VERY easy to fake a picture, it is much harder to fake a real person. Cal | |||

"How did people avoid photo verification? About a week in after creating our account, we were prompted to photo verify and couldn't access anything else until that was done. We'd have preferred to go with meet verification only (to avoid one extra photo sitting there on a server that could get compromised) but didn't get a choice." I agree. It might be that the system changed but I don't think that everyone has to be photo verified. No photo verification on my couple profile but had to for this one, which I wasn't happy about. Photos are very easily manipulated and it's a pointless exercise in my opinion. Ultimately, the only way to be sure someone is who they say they are is to meet them. | |||

Thanks for your time! " I think the photo verified profiles that have been on for years and no physical verifications are the ones for concern. I’d rather meet physical verified over photo verified as anyone can do photo verification. Don’t really see the point in photo verification on here. You don’t need to show your face, so it’s not safe to me. | |||

Thanks for your time! " I've never bothered on this or the singles one xx I wouldn't see it in itself as a cause for concern....if all the veries were from thr same person on a hidden profile I'd probably be a little suspect. But one or two from other verified profiles, I'd be okay x Cali | |||
