"Please not this again. People post what they like, not what you like. If you don't like a profile you're probably not compatible so just move on. " So what's the name of the other topic, or can you give a breakdown of the outcome of that discussion (I've tried searching). Don't want to cause upset, and really only interested from an objective standpoint. So as with topics, I post what I like, if the subject matter doesn't interest them or offends them, then they're welcome to mention it, but it's not really going to teach me anything new, they're better off just moving on. | |||

"It's true we tend to meet mostly with single guys and single women as we're sexually incompatible with most couples (due to Mrs physical requirement for the guy), it's also more convenient for us this way. Still I'm fascinated. I don't think it's a necessarily a bad thing, it's just a different way to how we operate, and since we're probably in the minority. I'm curious to understand the thought processes of couples (both male and female-headed couple profiles). " You could argue this with single guys who have pics of themselves with other women, or profiles who state single yet are actually married etc. How people choose to manage their profile is their business. For some couples accounts it just the female playing so maybe that’s why only pics of the female. | |||

"Whilst I have a couple of pics on our profile, Mrs definitely posts more, she also takes more. I rarely take pics of my body. I know a lot of people like to see both and that's fine but let's face it, women are way more photogenic than men. They also have way more pics they can take, different outfits etc. Anyway, in conclusion, Mrs takes more pics so uploads more, nothing more sinister than that." Same!! | |||

"Hi are we 1 of these profiles that you all talk about? Would like some feed back. The profile is mostly bunny I am in some but don't think I'm attractive enough to shoe loads of me? Your thoughts please" Don't sell yourself short You're looking to meet couples so the couple will need to know what both of you look like I understand the male/female not showing themselves if they don't actually participate and are only there to watch proceedings but if you're gonna be involved get snapping, advertise yourself, sell your goods | |||

"So what's up with this. We're clearly in the minority that feel it's important to show what both the man and woman physically look like prior to meets, as it's assumed both members would be active. I get that in the real world the guy's non-physical/sexual characteristics are important for dating, but do women of couples not really care, they're just there for exchange for the guy's entertainment? Apologies to anyone if this a wrong assumption. Just curious how other couples perceive this & trying to provoke debate. " we are a couple but only photos of me ..Mrs.we never look to both play and my hubby is there to keep me safe so photos of Mr not necessary..qe mainly want to meet men rarely couples and never single ladies so photos of me only are necessary | |||

Visuals certainly infer male sexual performance. To say otherwise disregards everything dating psychology tells us. It's akin to expecting a football fan couch potato to be better at sport than an athlete. I'm sure it happens but we're talking about statistics and probabilities here. | |||

"Definitely need to see pics of both And up to date face pics at some point Mrs j now insists on a cock pic as well Let's say, we've been caught out before !" Embarrassed to say, we've been caught out more times than I'd like to say. Fake body, Fake cock pic. Pretty pointless people verifying their main pic, being hidden, and then free to upload whatever content they want without further verification. Essentially every pic needs to be tagged as verified. It's just coming up with an elegant way of doing this. One way I guess would be to create a special fabswingers app which can only take photos and watermark them, and when these are uploaded to fab using the app, they're marked as verified by the fabswingers app. If there's a way of doing it in HTML5 then it could be incorporated into the mobile version of this website. I think there is HTML5 support for image capturing. It's either that or awkwardly insisting that every person that wishes to meet must conduct a video call interview, where they have to strip down or show some common identifying marker/tattoo to indicate that they are who they're suggesting they are in face + body + cock/pussy (great way to prove someone is as endowed as they say they are, that women profiles are women, and that T-girls are T-girls etc.) | |||

"For us, one of the biggest red flags is a couples profile with only pics of the female half. As a couple looking for another couple, why would they have only pics of half of them, doesn't my Mrs deserve to know what the guy looks like? We've often said meeting a couple is more difficult than meeting singles, there are 4 people in the mix who all need to hit it off, but it's worth the wait when it happens." This totally, I'm half a couple and straight, so seeing the male is really important to me. I do appreciate people can run their profile how they like and we just ignore messages or winks from profiles with only the woman or the one dick pic. If it's only the lady that meets that's fair enough though. | |||

"We just avoid those profiles. They usually have their reasons for only having pictures of the woman and those reasons make us incompatible. It is slightly annoying if they contact us because I find it disrespectful to me but often it's because they're only looking for the women to play while the men watch and possibly join on with their own partner later" This 100% | |||

"The reason we only have pics of the Mrs is because it’s only her that “plays” Mr isn’t allowed to play with others. Also we’re not looking to meet other couples only Black Men. With this in mind there isn’t any point in showing pics of Mr as he’s not going to be involved. " Almost agree with this 100%. Only differences are that I (husband) choose not to “play” as I get my kicks seeing my wife being enjoyed and we do not have any particular preference regarding race etc. | |||

Only differences are that I (husband) choose not to “play” as I get my kicks seeing my wife being enjoyed and we do not have any particular preference regarding race etc. " Thats a different issue. If a couple are looking to meet another couple, but have no photos of the guy. I guess my only conclusion can be that the guy is irrelevant, will just stay in the corner in the room while the woman and the couple play. Either that or one half of each couple can have a coffee while they watch their other halves have a 1-on-1. Sounds like that's the idea. So really should be a way to separate the: Couples who are looking to meet other couples for purposes of only watching the women play 1-on-1. --- Couples who are looking to meet other couples for purposes of group play. To many couples in the first category message us. "pics look great, so have you got any pics of your fella to Stoke my wife's interest? As she's not blind/indifferent/secondary to my interests" | |||

"We do have a couple of male pics I public andd more in private, but hubby just doesn't like his pic taken. But we are happy to share pics when chatting" That may be the case. But if he were a single guy on a dating site or tinder. Would he avoid showing a picture and expect women to still show interest. Women are the sexier half, and us men desire them like crazy, but that doesn't mean that women (especially highly sexually active ones) don't have their own physical desires in men, contrary to what $oci€ty may lead you to believe | |||

"We like to see and share pics of both. But Mrs definitely gets the most love. Her pics are fabbed in the hundreds, I'm lucky if I get 10!! " Thats normal, a universal phenomenon that occurs in the real world. Check who gave you your 10 likes. Chances are most of them are men/couples. Most fabs users, and those that look at photos are male (single or male headed couple user). So yes, profile pics can be seen as porn, but also as providing information about the person you're meeting. In the case of the male half it's information (and I guess porn for gay/bisexual guys - which I'm not going to complain if they get off looking at my pics lol) | |||

"All of our public pics and the majority of the private ones are of me. We feel that most people don’t want to see dick pics and the majority on here are single men. When we message a couple we happily send pics of both of us and it’s never been a problem so far. I’m more concerned about the amount of couple profile that only show photos of a guy, now that does make us wonder !! Jxx" Dick pics are misunderstood. Not as clear cut as no one wants to see a dick/penis print. Unsolicited flaccid dick pic to some unsuspecting vanilla on POF? Vs hard dick pic in gallery on matchmaking site where intercourse is on the menu and not for purposes of "just getting laid", but to have a recreational experience. Never intended this to be a topic to vilify couples who conceal the males physical information in favour only showing the female when looking to meet couples for group play/swap. It was more an observation that many if not the majority of couples do this. I wanted to know what their thought process was. As we are both active players in meets and usually discuss post-meet how we felt about the experience. You know the "wow she felt so good, that was great. How did he feel for you?". Couples looking to meet single guys is a totally unrelated thing. | |||

"If you are a couple looking to play with other couples then have at least one pic showing what the body of the male half looks like. All this "Can't show due to professional reasons" is bullshit. How the hell does your employer know what you look like naked? Blur/pixelate tattoos. If we get a message or wink from a couples profile and not one pic of the male half is visible we just delete. No matter how enticing the female half may be, Jane needs to know who she might be having sex with, and we just can't be arsed to ask for a pic if they can't be arsed to have at least one on display in the first place." Agree with this. Also, the couples who say it's irrelevant what he looks like because he will just be watching not playing, sorry but I'd still want to know what he looks like because if there was something about his look that really didn't appeal or creeped me out then I wouldn't be comfortable with him watching either. | |||
