Hi guys,

A bit of advice needed e the above. Its getting more and more often that I'm appearing to get meets organised yet nothing happening. As a male playing alone I'm aware how difficult it can be so when a female or couple do get in touch its a boost.. only to be let down.. is there any tips or advice without being rude as thats not my style really.. look forward to a reply either here so others may benefit or private... x

In most instances, unfortunately you'll probably not find out til they "no show" or just stop chatting.. I guess it's a case of relying on your gut feeling with most on here. Many talk the talk but dont walk the walk...

Maybe chat a while, get to know them a little and then decide, or check there veri's to see if they do show up for meets etc...

If your not looking for an instant shag, then doing your homework might pay off !!

Chatting on phone and or cam is one way of helping to out the fakes and dreamers.

I've seen many a forum post that says that people who get a lot of no shows and "timewasters" are victims of their own poor filtering and choices. I expect they'll be along soon to tell you how to spot these fakes .

For myself I can't give you many pointers but you do eventually get a feel when something isn't right. We try and arrange a social met within a couple of messages and not too far in advance sometimes people will say they can't meet for several weeks and their reason may be genuine but in our experience if they have contacted you and then can't meet within about 7 to 10 days they are unlikely to ever.

Suddenly stopping messages is another clue.

A couples profile with no verifications and all pictures of the man's cock is normally a big clue lol

hiding from cock pics.

When I see really intimate pics if a girl on a new profile, and she is a page 3 type and has a variety of objects being stuck up her in various pics uploaded daily but no varifications of any sort I think she is probably fake.

For me camming first always helps me, we both know what is on offer and can see if we are attracted to each other, fakes are less likely to cam I think.

Just my views.

Lots of dirty talk in messages. If a message conversation changes from genaral chat about likes/dislikes into shitty porn reenactments then assume the worst.

My filtering and choices include chatting on cam in the Fab chatroom. That way, I can rule out:-

~ people who I don't find physically attractive

~ people whose personality I don't find attractive (e.g. showing cock on cam, over-explicit chat, whinging, being too pushy or too desperate, all big turn offs for me).

Also, I always meet first at the organised socials and parties. That way, if my 'target meet' and I don't have that chemistry between us in person, it's not a wasted night for either of us, as there are plenty more people for us to chat with. And I get to catch up with all my friends

To the people who said they weren't photo verified, you're verified by others, but the question was how to spot a fake profile.

A photo verification shows the person is either a couple or a female rather than a single dude pretending.

Obviously can't spot a timewaster but the verify the sex it works.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

I tend to go off a number of things - which most people have mentioned on here.

1. are they photo verified?

2. have they recent verifications - more than say 2 or 3 and do those veris have veris themselves from different people (not all verifying each other with fake profiles to look genuine)?

3. do they send a face pic?

4. do they swap numbers?

5. do they text before the meet?

No to any of the above and I don't meet.

An I the only one who has figured out that photo verification can be faked too?

Feel free to accuse me of being one of those "along soon" - but I still firmly believe that anyone who is regularly finding they are being duped, having planned meets cancelled and having what they percieve as their time 'wasted' - needs to revisit their own approach!

Common sense, gut instinct and a lack of expectancy, along with not rushing into making plans or expecting a last minute meet request to necessarily be all that it claims - are all things that can make life on site a lot easier.

As do the other tools available - verifications, up to date and clear profile pictures, camming in chat (face - not genitalia!), talking on the phone - all simple tools that are often underused.

At the end of the day nobody is responsible for their own activities and plans but themselves! And if what you're doing isn't working - who is at fault? The fakes and timewasters? Yes. But there also has to be an element of self-responsibility. If you're having regular problems and don't consider changing your approach - the results are hardly likely to change!

Absolutely agree with Obi on this. If you keep getting the same response (or rather, not) from 25 DIFFERENT people, what is the common denominator?

YOU are.... Simples.

If you're letting your urge for sex overpower commonsense and, more importantly, your gut-feel, then you have to take a serious look at what YOU are doing which is resulting in the same outcome...

Ask for phone numbers and to meet socially - that seems to sort the fakes out for me
