"OP. It's your profile. Do what you want not what others tell you. If you want to show them all do. If you want to show multiple from the same person do. If you want to hide them all do. Do what feels right to you not to please other people. " This is all that needs to be said. | |||

"Not really it isn't,especially if someone has been on for a long time. Quite a few of yours are repeat people anyway aren't they." Yes they are, think it shows I like regular fun with same people. I did lose a couple when another lady left the site which was a shame. | |||

"Hi guys. A lady I was chatting to recently commented that I had a lot of verifications and was put off so asking if a guy has a lot of verifications is it a put off? " When you say the lady was "put off" did she actually refuse to meet because of that? If so, that's unfortunate but does perhaps indicate that there may be a general perception that too many verifications showing on your profile does have a negative impact, which is really what you're investigating here. When I was displaying far more verifications than I currently do, I was told t made me look like a "player" which was regarded as an undesirable characteristic, but, as a lot of people are saying here, it is entirely up to you how you present your profile. I got rid of my repeat veris, regarded as "padding" and kept the core which I consider to present a consistent portrayal and without unnecessary graphic detail (which some of the omitted ones do). I'm happy with that. | |||

"I look at the quality of the meets... and sometimes it looks like people will literally shag anything with a pulse so they aren't always a positive thing ... having said that.. it would be boring if we all had the same tastes x x " Was going to say the same thing, hopefully mine show I have standards lol | |||

"Maybe she wasn't interested for another reason and just used it as an excuse? " Or maybe she thought the list was padded out with repeat meets. Who knows? | |||

"Maybe she wasn't interested for another reason and just used it as an excuse? Or maybe she thought the list was padded out with repeat meets. Who knows?" Or maybe she just thought he had too many and was genuinely put off?! Anyway, not worth worrying about, run your profile as you want and don't worry about what others think. as someone said, you really can't win on the verification front sometimes. | |||

"You can't win with veri's. too few / too many / quality of verifier / veri trail.....blah blah blah. I like to have a nose at the veri's makes an interesting read on occasions I'd only be put off someone if I was unsure about them in the first instance. " | |||

"You know you can't win with verifications can you? It's either too many or too little. Doesn't make any difference to me. If I fancied you I fancied you. But I liked a man with experience so lots of verifications was definitely not an issue. They also begin to add up quite quickly don't they? I think some are looking for reasons not to meet and find excuses. " This is so true. | |||

However I'm surprised you meet anyone with the attitude you display in your profile text. There and in this post you come across as treating men and other women as beneath you. | |||

"I think there should be enough to indicate you're genuine and that present a consistent picture of what kind of person you are. Revealing any more than that, particularly several from the same person, edges towards boasting and a desperate display" I don't make that kind of judgment when you see multiple verifications from the same person. It makes me think they have a lot of good times together. I don't know why meeting someone regularly and displaying that is boasting. | |||

"We've been shamed by our verifications before by couples saying that all our veri's are social 1s which means that we are fake and not real swingers because we don't play" We've had this too...on our previous profile we mainly only displayed our social verifications and kept graphic 'play' veris hidden as we prefer to keep what happens in the bedroom private. Lots of people assumed we were time wasters and didn't play. Their loss! Xx | |||

I've nothing at all against meeting the same people and do so a good deal but don't really see the point of eliciting and displaying any more verifications from them unless there is something specific to add, or a different activity or aspect to relay Several other postings on this thread tend to agree by indicating that they discount multiple reports from the same people. I do however concede once again as I did before that it is entirely up to the individual what they display. Boasting might be a bit strong on reflection. Padding might be nearer the mark. | |||

"Anyway, back to the OP. I used to hide mine, mainly because I don't think who I meet is anyone else's business; but the fact I meet is what's important. I don't tend to ask for them either. As previous posters have said before the thread got somewhat derailed, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you choose to display veri(s) and that puts someone off meeting you then you obviously weren't suited anyway for whatever reason. No-one's loss, just one of those things." | |||

"It's funny when people think Fab verifications give total 100% proof of a person's sex life. " Lol, my veris don't even show 100% of my fab meets! OP...show what you want. If people assume that means you go for 'quantity over quality' then pass them by. I personally chose to have both qulaity & quantity when I'm actively meeting and I do display my veri summary and all veris still available when my profile isn't hidden. If that puts people off meeting me then so be it, we're obviously not compatible and I'd rather enjoy the company of someone who isn't going to judge me for having sex! | |||

That's waay too long to be swinging, how terrible regardless of number or type of meets (tongue firmly in cheek).

We've found they gauge the situation well, social adaptable, well rounded and were exactly what we expected and sought when we met. More of these experiences please. | |||

" Does anybody decide on who they are going to get intimate with based on veris? Surely they decide when they actually meet? Experience for us has taught us that verifications and profiles are a very skewed representation of people, it's not till you physically meet someone that you really have any idea what they are like..... | |||

I assume you have to ask for them to written..If you had a great evening , why does anyone else need to know . Any information which I require is extracted from a phone call. . | |||

"Bloody veris are a complete pain in the arse I think. I would love to see how some would manage if they were taken away and people had to use their own brains in deciding who to meet and not rely on the words of other complete strangers. Just my thoughts. It truly amazes me that people rely on the views of total strangers to decide whether they get intimate with another stranger. I can't get my head around that one. " the verification or feedback system as I prefer to call it, was what led me to this site from other sites. regardless of the content, I build up an idea who is most likely to meet up from these....I cant get my head round why that might not be important to some that play with various people and on a frequent basis. Lets say for example, yesterday I was chatting via messages with a couple, they have one verify and its been over a year since their last..I will have a cynical outlook on how far the chat will go...in my cock I have the inkling they arent prepared to meet..despite all the chatting up. If i see a familiar verification of a site user it leads me more into believing there is more chance of a meet up. I dont know how many times I have been stood up..because it has been extremely rare that it has happened..namely because I use the verification system as a part of my selection process..it hasnt failed me in the several years I have been here. I dont need months of chat to find that special meet etc, I'll happily cut down the timeframe by using the site tools. and the verification system is one of the main features for pre-selecting, and given the sites increased popularity, it has indeed brought a lot of people with no intention to meet..having at least a few meet verifications statistically will increase a meet to meet ratio compared to the moaning about timewasters and no shows ratio. It has always been clear to me..I dont think theres much to get ones head around.. | |||

"I have suggested a couple of times that on profiles it could say how many years you've been on the site, not just 'over a year', then maybe some people wouldn't have such a problem with it, if they saw, for example, you had 50 verifications but over 5 years, and also the option to tick if they were social or a play meet Good point Mine make me look a slag ...

Lots of members will not want other members knowing whom they have met. Why would they?" as I say Pat..this is what works for me..and many others..there is of course the verification summary if people dont want to know who meets who..however that summary can be pretty unclear, as on mine I have met a few men and tv's..but not to have sex with them lol | |||

A well written profile , common sense , and feedback from a phone call are all I need . I don't even bother looking at verifications as they all tend to say the same thing and it becomes really boring reading them. | |||

"The type of people we meet are genuinely up for fun and most are happy to verify . We love reading veris , and love to give them too . Those who prefer not to give and receive veris , or choose not to show them exercise their choice to do so , and that's cool . What isn't cool is the pompous attitude that some have . They seem to sit so high and mighty above those that do like them ., and preach about how they don't need a strangers validation to choose who to meet . Well who said we do ? We have met many newbies , who had no veri till we met them . We have met people who we didn't know we're on fab till after the meet . And we we have met plenty who joined up after we met them . So don't think we spend much time checking out veris , we don't . Nor do we choose to block or not meet people based on who they may have met . We see fab as a great place to meet like minded people to have fun with . What the rest of you do is your business and if it works for you , great . But there's really no need to imply you are any more special than anyone else because of how many veris they have , or that they choose to show them . Because your not , and that's all we have to say about that " You couldn't have put it better, happy swinging xxxx | |||
