" In my opinion and ONLY my opinion, I think leaving a glowing veri for someone when the meet wasn't all that then it's as good as leaving a fake veri. If the meet wasn't good then either leave no veri or a basic veri at most. My opinion only mind. | |||

What are your feelings on this? Is it polite? Or does it paint an untrue picture of people on here potentially misleading others? " I did it once, even though he had sent me a rather bland veri. After a couple of days' thought, however, I realised that it would be misleading to other potential meets. So I blocked him as I couldn't sustain the deception. I have never done it since and will never do it again. I might write how they turned up for the meet as arranged but that is all. | |||

What are your feelings on this? Is it polite? Or does it paint an untrue picture of people on here potentially misleading others? " We always leave a veri even if we don't like them and leave within 5 minutes, we also make it quite clear at the time we didn't like them , but will leave a veri saying they had a social etc etc Surely the verification system is to prove they actually turn up and not a rating system of their sexual performance if it was a rating of their performance surely a rating system similar to ebay would be in order I am sorry but if you turn up for a social you should be verified as such. After all it's not our fault or the meets fault we didn't fancy them or they thought we were nuts .but if they made the effort to turn up then they should get the verification for their effort, after all we may find them ugly munters who have no personality but that doesn't mean their next meet will feel the same As to reading veris we don't do that , preferring Paula to use her creepy weirdo radar on single guys, and chatting on the phone. And most importantly meeting | |||

"if i didnt want to meet them again I wouldn't leave a very or they would want a repeat if I said it was good when it wasnt" Now that's nonsensical. You met them, so you should acknowledge that. It's a totally separate issue if you don't want a follow-up. | |||

I totally agree , they turn up they should get verified, if they turn up they are not timewasters, if everyone verified all meets even ones that were disasters we would soon know who the idiots are | |||

" very true. we'd always leave a veri if we'd met regardless how how good the meet was. our veris are plain, nothing suggesting what went on so basically saying he other person/s are real, nothing more nothing less. if we like them then maybe we put a bit more.. everyone uses veris for differing reasons, seen blow by blow account on what went on.. dont see that necessary but each to their own. | |||

"If the person is lovely Ill say it how it is ... I won't leave a glowing for one for someone who wasn't - Ill just not leave anything " Reminds me of someone i knew who was asked to give a lot of references. Didnt want to give terrible feedback to people hed see ever week. But would leave stuff out. Made it clear to people reading that it wasnt a glowing reference but made his life easier too | |||

"Does anyone take any real notice of them anyway I know I don't other than the person does genuinely meet. I look at mine and honestly I know I ain't sexy nor gorgeous but both are used in veris but for me it's not what they write in the veri it's do they come back for more meets and mostly they do. That means more than a glowing veri in my book!!" Take your point. See some people also put on there profiles that they wont meet people who have loads and loads of verifications on their page | |||

Hence why I think the verification system is pointless......" There's that, but several veris at times did entice me to contact them, as I would have like to sample those delights myself, and was messed about by halfhearted promises etc, being ignored, despite good manners and caring nature etc being one of their lovely traits... | |||

" Is it polite? Or does it paint an untrue picture of people on here potentially misleading others? " It is misleading, and some you can spot easily, but others you cannot, so I take them all with a pinch of salt when reading. I try my damndest to be honest, accurate and not mislead, whilst at the same time being kind and flattering to the person concerned, focussing on their good points, but without ever being graphic. If I had a bad meet or found someone to be dishonest or something I would not leave a veri at all. | |||

"I met someone once who had clearly sent me fake pics (I think they were his son as there was a faint resemblance). He used the classic line "I'm here now anyway so can I at least get a blow job"... er.... no! Then he mithered me after for a veri. So left him one saying he turned up but is about 20 years older and 4 stone heavier than his pics. Apparently that makes me a bitch! " Good for you!!! | |||

"At the end of a session I get my laptop out of my bag and insist a nice verification is written before I unlock the door and allow them to leave" This must be in jest as above you say you have some really bad ones. Blooming hope it's said in jest any way. I don't do veris in fact the last one I wrote was 4 words long and a joke one. I do have some from some fantastic people but I don't feel obliged to write any back as they all know how I feel about them. | |||

Am I missing how the verifications show up or have you not published feedback? " People leave the site. The very shows up still in summary but is automatically removed from display by admin. My own profile is similar. More in summary than those displayed. I haven't chosen not to display veris. Some are better than others but I feel I should display all so others get the whole picture - warts and all (I don't have warts btw! !) | |||
