"Like most genuine swingers we are getting increasingly frustrated trying to find / arrange meetings. I wonder if only to clear the "Pretenders" if FAB might consider a "No picture No verifications within 6 months" then the account is closed. " Or you could just use filters to block unverified and those without pictures from messaging you Oh and I'm not sure how or why you feel you can speak for "the majority of genuine swingers" | |||

If there could be a super duper filter to get them out of our lives as well as off Fab, how valuable would that be!!! | |||

"Problem is site is way to easy to join. There's no security and anyone can sign up. You don't need a real email address and you don't need proof your 18. Great idea .. Why not take the first membership payment via a credit card ?" Because membership is optional and while there are many perks it's not essential to be a paying member. | |||

An alternative opinion or view is fine no need to be childish (Oh and we can spell !!) | |||

To insinuate i'm not genuine and have no respect goes against the fact i read your profile and fabbed pics, before i commented. And love your spelling comment very grown up! Your entiteled to ur opinion same as me it's a forum. Best of luck and happy fabbing you sound like you could do with a laugh! ![]() | |||

"then people would just create new accounts when the old one expires. personally i would have thought a person who has been on for over a year with no meets is more genuine than one who just joined recently and by chance managed to get verified also reading around the forums 6 months is apparently the average time a single male takes to get a meet. " Why would someone on here over a year with no meets be more genuine than someone on less time with meets? | |||

" I take your point Angie but the one comfort I take is that the fantasy profiles must ultimately be very frustrating. Posting fake pics,ages and status means they can never meet no matter how much interest they generate. | |||

" Why would someone on here over a year with no meets be more genuine than someone on less time with meets?" just my opinion that someone who was taking time and being active in the community here would more likely be genuine compared to someone who joined recently and got a verification by chance | |||

"We don't think credit cards are the way forward as like it's been said not everyone has one. One site we are members of (not swinging) requires every member free or paying to upload their id before they can use any feature or message any person . Now it's not fool proof but there does seem to be a lot less talk of fakes and time wasters. 99% of any websites require you to activate your email address or use a text reply system fab doesn't . " But has gives you the tools that you will never have to see unverified members or have them contact you. All for the sake of 3 tick boxes. The time it took you to whine you could have done thay | |||

"We aren't whining , the question is how to get rid of them . We don't have any filters or any message blocks as we are quite capable of choosing who we meet" The way to get rid of them is tick the box so they don't show up. I and many other genuine people wouldn't be here if I had to scan and upload my id because I wouldn't trust this site to have decent security. You'd still get fantasists you'd just lose a lot of real people though | |||

Does that mean I wouldn't get membership because I choose not to use credit? | |||

How do you get a verification "by chance"? In fact, I find the whole message quite baffling. | |||

"The word "genuine" is overused on this site, and it's meaning here is especially obscure" As is the word 'swinger' Unless it's changed recently, if you're verified by someone who leaves the site, their verification goes too (as is the case here)- so being here for an amount of time with none means diddley. Some of us no longer use fab to actively find people, I mainly find my kink in other places- here it's more a case of opportunity and serendipity- or just enjoying looking at nice titties ![]() | |||
