"It always strikes us as a bit dodgy. The thing that really bugs us is why on a couples profile only have a picture of one partner, nearly always the lady. I find it very frustrating to see an attractive woman. With no picture of the guy mary will be playing with we cant really take it further. I would love to know what the philosophy is? I personally hate pictures of myself. Fortunately at least a few female halves of couples dont share my opinion. x Chris (& Mary)" Yes I can't understand that one either..if both of the couple expect a swap then surely there should be pictures of both available. As we are not trying to attract couples, we don't feel the need to have his pictures on, as they won't be doing him We do always show that we are a couple on cam though so they do see Mr R before a meet. | |||

I understand what Ruby... is saying. | |||

"If the couple are looking for soft swing with only Fem2Fem play then they may not find pics of the guy so important. Just a thought. true or like rugby couple above are only looking for straight guys. But a significant proportion arent. W " | |||

"lol thanks honey, good maybe for Scott but I dont want to be Yoko, wasnt she a bit strange?" As nice as it is what exactly does that pic or any other pic on your profile actually prove? Not looking for an argument but possibly some folk have so gotten so bogged down by some of the swinging minutiae they of us have lost touch with reality. | |||

How do we actually know that picture is up to date etc etc............ do you see what we are trying to say. Profile pics are like politicians.......most of the time they talk complete bollocks | |||

What would be the point in anyone, seriously wanting to meet someone else on here,not showing true images of themselves? Whats the point in sorting a meet on the the strength of those images,spending half a day getting ready and an hour travelling, only to get the door slammed in your face because you don't look at all like your pic's? It would seem an extremely pointless exercise from our point of view.Yes you may get the odd weirdo's but we'd bet they're very rare. We've certainly never been disappointed by anyone we've met on the strength of their photo's.To have little or no confidence in anyones pic's being genuine,sounds to be bordering on paranoia.

As regards pics on profiles if you and others are naive enough to believe them then crack on but at our age we think reality and common sense has a very important part to play in this lifestyle. " At our young age we are not silly enough to believe for certain pics are the most genuine, doesn't take age but common sense to work that out, also being a forum reader and if I remember right your verification is by someone who claims to have been to chameleons 40 odd times (I think) and not played, so also realise your verification doesn't stand quite so strong as you believe. My point was never about the pics but why you chose to ask when you have less verifications and similar but clothed pics. You are right about reality and common sense playing a big part in this lifestyle, doesn't take a genius to work that out, but maybe you may like to put some of that into your posts, especially those asking questions, then people may see you are asking a genuine question and not just being picky. Reading between the lines it would seem to me you believe you are ever so much smarter and life experienced than those younger than yourselves, that is either prejudice or ignorant and arrogant in my view. Before anyone jumps down my throat, read my post again, this is far from a personal attack, more an opinion on behaviour. W | |||

" Sure there are timewasters,no shows,people who don't live up to the text in their profiles but luckily (or selectively) we've managed to avoid those.All it takes on our part is a few conversations on the phone and we can get a good feeling about folk.It hasn't let us down yet. Yes,we have found in chatting that they may let slip something that makes us not want to meet and we act accordingly. However we thought the crux of this thread was about profile pics being genuine.That being the case our former post still stands,if they don't look like their pic's,they don't cross the threshold. We're not saying there aren't the odd few who post fake pic's but we don't think there's many who actualy meet folk.What's the point when they're just going to get knocked back? XXXX . | |||

"I am really confused as to why some of you are struggling with our notion that profile pictures should not be relied upon? " It's like the profile, it gives an indication of what the other people are like. Just like the profile it can be misleading also, but it's a starting point. Do we want to chat with them and see where it goes, web cam is still the best option before a meet, no cam then suspicion goes up a notch (waiting for flack, we don't have a cam, were not fakes, lol £10!). Anyway, all interesting. | |||
