Are you asking for a review or just what you can do to get verified ?

For the latter a club is the easiest way to get verified to show your genuine... You never know, you might like the club also

I was indifferent to them when first joined and thought proving yourself on camera should be enough. But I do agree now they can be beneficial, more to see if decent company to meet rather than just being attractive alone. Lots of fake ones on here though, quite obvious at times....

Verifications are a must have for me. Personally I don't need to see what others have written, but seeing that little green stamp goes a long way. It's harsh but I filter out guys with no veris

Too many verifications knock me sick

Too many explicit ones knock me sick

None makes me dubious

Ones where the verifier states “you should meet them you won’t regret it” or “if they ask you too meet then you should” make me suspicious as to why they’re being pimped out.

It’s all pretty tasteless tbf

Not an issue with me, as can usually filter out the time wasters. A profile with no pics or details and no effort put in is another matter x

After been let down by single males and keyboard fantasists we now only meet people who are both photo verified and have verifications from other people.

We also agree 5 mins of checking and you can sus out the fake verifications a mile off.

As others have said get yourself to a local club people who meet you will usually be happy to verify you and who knows you may have more luck there.

As a couple 90% of the play we have had to date has been in clubs the single guys who go to them do very well.

It will matter to some, who may block unverified users from contacting them or those who aren't interested if they hear from you.

If you'd like to be verified, then you don't need to have a sexual meet, as any social or other meet is perfectly fine - it's largely to confirm that you are who say you are and have some reliability.

Look out for friendly people or local advertised fab socials

I like veris. They give me a flavour of who someone is. If they are perfunctory and full of stick phrases, then that person prob isn’t for me. Lots of glowing comments about how fun their company is piques my interest. Given that I’m meeting fewer and fewer new people, I would need a lot of convincing to meet an unverified person instead of a verified person.

Yes very important, even if they aren't displayed. It's a sign someone genuinely wants to meet. Someone without any will always flag me as someone who may just be on for chatting. If it's someone new I'll keep that in mind but I'm much more likely to step up chatting with someone who has them.

Suspect it is the type of verifications.

Think the ones that give a little physical/fun information are great.

Things like her mother must have been a mark one Dyson and it’s genetic, leave me a tad cold.

Not massively. Not everyone on here verifies everytime, me included. Plus every one starts of without them anyway. Granted some use them as a way to filter but not everyone looks negatively on them. There not that reliable anyway, can be faked or not truly reflective. The important thing to focus on far more than varifications is the quality of your profile and how you conduct your self.

Initially we thought we'd be open to both verified & unverified profiles but having come across a few that we've sussed aren't genuine "female" ones we've duly reported them.

Self photo verification should be mandatory. Why not allow say 72hrs to photo verify your new profile, failing which it's deleted. Simple!

Clearly some people get a kick out of tricking people but it only spoils it for the genuine ones & changes the vibe of the site, making us more suspicious when we should be focusing on the fun not fake!

I’ve been chatting with a single female over the last couple of days, and she made an interesting point about my veris, which made me wonder how many others thought the same? She said my veris make me sound good, and genuine, but they’re mostly all from social meets, and she thought it might make me appear that the people didn’t want to actually fuck me after meeting me? This has never occurred to me before, but I did point out I prefer to meet for a friendly social first, with no expectations on either side, that way, if we don’t ‘click’, we can just walk away, and neither party has lost an evening

I also only ever ‘verify genuine’, as what happens on a meet, stays on a meet. Who I’ve actually played with, is between myself and they.......

Do other people not ‘rate’ social veris?

Depends on how the person communicates with me.

We all had to start somewhere.

I wouldn't make a commitment like booking a hotel without veris

We don’t rate social veris if that’s all you have, ok if you have a mix but if just social we see it as either of two things, either others don’t want to play that you meet or your a player and not really actually here to have sex, see this a lot with couples, appear they like the scene environment and perhaps the attention they get from people but what’s the point of lots of veris if all they say is chatted to this couple/person in a club etc. May as well get the postman to write you one lol. Understand if it’s early days but not a year in. Most veris we get if we just chatted we don’t display.

Yes, we have found people with verifications are more genuine and therefore more likely to turn up. A generalisation I know.

We have come across a few profiles

singles and couples that are packed full of veris from only social meets and zero veries from any actual play encounters yet they have been signed up a year plus, this for the reasons stated above has put us off.

We want to actual play when we meet, socials have a place but when you lead busy lives time is precious x ??

I have to agree,there are a lot of social butterflies on fab that collect verifications sitting chatting with a drink in their hand .Its not a true reflection on who the person is or acts in a proper meet invironment .I also don’t accept cams as a real verification it’s a lazy way to connect .No effort required ..

Yes I think verifications are needed because there is so many guys on here pretending to be couples and if you see verifications then you know they are genuine, but you do get couples that are first timers so they want have verifications until they feel confident enough to meet someone .

You don't have to show your face to photo very. It can be either face or full nude without the face.

The point of the system is - verified means you are who you say you are. You get a green tick and that's it. Summary will show if it was camera or meet verification if that's important. What difference does the text of the veri really makes especially if the ones who verifies gets carried away and you end up reading a sex novel.
