Just to say the person is genuine is enough.

No need to say any more than that

If I'm going to meet someone I look at those that have left a veri and the veri the guy has left.

Veris tell alot about the person.

I thought when you open an account here you have to take a pic with a sheet of paper with words on it showing arms legs whatever then it's approved by admin why is that not classed as a genuine verification?

Think verify should be a hit more than confirming u are not a bot

It actually does.

If the guy leaves a very graphic veri hes not the sort that I would meet.

If his veris are from any Tom dick or mayble he's not the sort of guy I would meet.

"Doesn't give much info though. ."

What info would you want?

Surely everyone is different and no experience is the same. 1 detailed veri might put others off meeting that person.

They turn up and are who they say they are is enough we think.

That's fine in it self, but doesn't show your personality or how you interact with others.

I like reading veris just because I am nosey. I especially like funny ones.

I don't make my mind up about a person based on what others say. To me that is lazy. To assume you will get on with rita just because bob and sue did is also quite a silly notion in my opinion. One of my best friends and my most mortal enemy on here get on very well.

not sure what makes a good veri but at the end of the day all veries are ment to do is prove that the person is genuine and actually showed up for the meet.

Im not remotly interested in what went on during that meet as I think that should only be between the people meeting and no one else

ive just received a message, asking to message someone as he has ran out of messages, he has put that on a verification for us, which is annoying as we have never met or even spoken to him, is it allowed for him to send us a message this way, even though our verifications are set in private, its still annoying as its stuck in there.

That shouldn't be allowed.

They should change the way veris are made.

You should be able to accept or decline the veri.

I think of veris a bit like trip advisor reviews to be honest... anyone can say they are hot, sexy, amazing etc and in reality it can mean nothing... a heap of amazing veris however gives you a great insight and confidence in a person or couple. The most important part of a profile in my view.

Always worth looking at those who’ve veried though... quite often you can spot someone with limited veris has created a few account and veried themselves etc

I don't think the explicit veris are rarther appealing as what may work and excite for 1 person will be different to the next.

I hide mine and they are all just saying about the social side mainly as my veri for them is the same as I never kiss and tell.

Totally agree with you .

It’s bloody stupid to allow any tom , dick or Harry to verify anyone . Apart from the fact that it appears that someone is legitimately verified when they aren’t when this happens , it also makes anyone sceptical often whole system .

I wish Fab had a system where if people agree to meet you both confirm online and then are asked to veri afterwards (ip checked for no duplication) then afterwards enter your views, if they didn’t show etc it’s posted on your their profile etc... I don’t get the value of hidden veris

So you'd meet someone who shagged the country without you knowing by either hiding their veris or deliberately not giving or having them? I'very read on forums a lot who do not give or review veris for this very reason. It kinda puts a question on your selective methods if this is really how you select. Also someone may have been here a few months and met 20 peple and another 3 years and met 100 yet their profile only says 'over a year'. Who would you choose? It doesn't seem as simple as you make it out to be.

Agree. It's about a pattern where there are enough samples to draw a conclusion.

I'm looking to see if other people think this person is considerate and decent. See if I can back up my own judgement before taking a risk with someone. I tend to prefer non-explicit veris, but sometimes the explicit ones are hot too.

"Quite frankly, verifications put us off!

There are many reasons , take your pick from some of these .

Experience has shown us that well verified folk are far more likely to turn up when they say they will .

Experienced swingers know what they are doing , which may enhance the whole experience - especially for newbies .

Experienced swingers are able to help the nervous come out of themselves .

Experienced swingers are way less likely to judge other swingers .

Experienced swingers are more likely to get checked out more regularly , and take necessary precautions and protection .

So there you have a few reasons .

I don’t class that as a genuine veri an I only message verified users. It shows someone is on here to meet an not just here for the wank bank.

Veris are important. Same time I flick between having mine up an taking them down.

For us a verification tells us that the person is genuine and does what it says on the tin, we made the mistake of meeting someone on a whim who was not verified and it was a disaster so never again, we dont want to be the ones to find out a guy is a weirdo and nothing like his pics

For us a verification just shows that the person is genuine and is likely to turn up, beyond that the only other thing we look at is the date of the last one and use if as a gauge as to whether the profile is still actively meeting.

I rarely bother to read them but do like people to have and show some verifications.

It shows they turn up and actually meet. You can't have too many verifications in my opinion... As least they can't all possibly be false

We don't show all ours as we simply use them to show we do meet, so think having them all up is unnecessary.
