"Red flag OP. It’s not that hard (excuse the pun) to get meet verified, at least by attending social. I got one individual like this today. Apparently can’t remember he joined a year ago Really? Grow up." I’ve had one insist he was meet verified but no green tick. He forgot he messaged me this before and when asked again he said he has met two people but they don’t like to do verifications | |||

"I often get messages from guys. They are site supporters, photo verified but not meet verified. Obviously it’s over a year or more but is it that hard, especially with socials or webcams? (not keen on these). I know many will say we all use fab differently, forums, friends etc but these guys are actively trying to meet me. Would that be a red flag?" This is me. I have been verified a couple of times previously and left but come back (as we do). Clubs arent my scene. Maybe create a single male profile and try and get a meet. It is a struggle but for the genuine ladies and cpls I have met its been worthwhile | |||

Less intimating than a club or ask someone you previously met on your old account to verify you? | |||

" Maybe create a single male profile and try and get a meet. " No thanks. I’ll go by usual everyday threads, they tell me everything I need to know. I also know many men getting verified and successfully meeting within weeks of joining. Luck? I don’t think so. | |||

"Going by the number of forum posts by guys complaining that they can't get meets, a year with no veris seems unsurprising to me. " Not sure what a verification for a man would prove anyway. Some have difficulty finding someone to meet. Some have no intention of meeting and just want wank chat. Easy to figure out which it is. | |||

"A red flag to me. I appreciate it is harder for men to get meets but over a year is excessive. Suggest they’re either all talk or simply haven’t taken anyone’s fancy yet which in that length of time indicates they likely won’t take mine either." Or they didn't fancy the women who offered. | |||

I’d have to just mention that I have actually been on the site as a ‘Couple’ and a ‘Single’, obviously my couples veris have gone as it’s deleted but when it comes to the single some of my veris have actually disappeared because people have left the site (it happens) I think sometimes it’s all about building trust with someone and if they are truly genuine then something may well happen given the chance x | |||

"Playing devils advocate here on the ‘just go to a local social’ response that has and will always arise, and I’m sure someone will say they would just to put the cat amongst the pigeons…. However, I personally wouldn’t meet someone I wasn’t somewhat attracted to, so why would I go on a social with them to get a verification? Even if it was defined from the outset as a social I’d just feel like I was using them in an attempt to get a meet I actually wanted..

I thought if someone left the veri disappeared but the green tick remained. Anyway, I lean more to relying on my own impression of someone bia chat etc than other peoples thoughts on them. Not all veris are exactly accurate either. Not dissing those who rely on them though | |||

All I would suggest it’s verifications alone should not influence whether you interact with someone regarding a possible meet. You will have other factors that you consider important and they should probably take precedence " For a single male wanting to meet outside of clubs or organised social events, verifications are important (but not crucial) and in my opinion one of the cornerstones of Fab. Veris compliment having a nice set of photos and an engaging profile and sets you apart from the hoards of other single guy profiles. Think of it like the Amazon of swinging, sure, you could search for a thing, read the blurb, check out the pictures and buy it even though it’s had zero reviews but reading other buyer positive reviews and comments makes you more confident about pressing the buy button… By having a good set of veris it shows that you do actually meet (not a time wasting, fantasist keyboard wanker), shows the type of people you meet (who doesn’t scan the profiles of the verifiers? “Oh he’s met that lovely couple we know, cool, let’s message him”) and together with supporting comments and the compliments paid, that you’re active (with recent meets taking place). | |||

"Took me 11 months to finally meet someone I liked, I had offers beforehand but they wasn't what I was looking for, I'd be more wary of a Woman/couple who hadn't had a meet after a year more then a Man" A really good point. Any woman or couple on here a year without a single meet are either super selective, very busy, in the wrong place, or fake. For men, getting off the zero is actually really hard. And even attending a club or social doesn't absolutely guarantee a meet. But one thing we do if we think we smell a fake woman/couple - is we ask for a good old fashioned proof pic - get them to hold up a sign with 'Hello Miniskirtcouple' written on it. That can't be faked. With single guys, we're now always asking for a social first - that both verifies them as real and willing, and also enables us to test for general compatibility before we commit to a full swinging meet. | |||

(not keen on these). I know many will say we all use fab differently, forums, friends etc but these guys are actively trying to meet me. Would that be a red flag?" I have been working hard trying to get a meet ,even for a one on one social for a coffee since the day I joined with no luck whatsoever . My main problem is the brick wall where profiles state "if you don't have meet verifications ,your message will be deleted ". So ,it's not through lack of effort,or not putting effort into my profile ,or not adding regular up to date photos, I do all of these things . Yes ,I would love to meet people and make new friends on here ,but sadly ,a lot of couples and single women make it impossible to contact them because I don't have any meet verifications. It's a vicious circle . I can't get a meet verification, because most people won't meet non meet verified single blokes. You can't win . I try and maximise my chances by being photo verified, and paying to be a site supporter every month ,but I feel my chances are extremely restricted because of that golden ticket of the "meet verifications ". | |||

"I have to say ,that ,after reading every post on this thread ,the attitude of some couples and single women towards us single blokes who havnt had a meet are staggering. It's almost as if we are looked upon as dirt because we havnt had the fortune of having a meet in over a year on here ,despite the majority of couples and single women saying they won't meet "non meet verified " blokes . They are basically saying , you havnt had a meet in over a year of being a member on here ,so you are a time waster ,even though we won't meet you ourselves because you don't have meet verifications. Talk about sticking the boot in . " Why do you care what those types think? Would you really want to stick your cock in someone who has that attitude about men? It's sad that they demand someone to be verified before they will meet them but won't give someone a chance for his first veri. Those types need babysitting and can't think for themselves. | |||

I would say it is a bit of red flag but it's hard for men to get a meet at the beginning and many won't do the group social thing. Webcam doesn't mean much for men as nobody is going to fake being a man I would say more of a red flag if a single lady or couple not meet verified after a year as they will have lots of opportunities if they so wish. If they don't have one it might be just that they want privacy but more likely either a single man behind the profile or they are just very unlikely to meet anyone ever. | |||

I've no interest in clubs so someone who does would have no interest in me, it's not that complicated but obviously we can all read into things as we choose " If you feel I was judging you then I offer my sincerest apologies as that was not my intention. Don’t have an issue at all with those who don’t go to clubs and wouldn’t not necessarily be interested in a person because of that or if they have “100’s” of verifications, depending on the nature of said verifications of course. | |||

"I joined got first veris after week but I attend club And you are a woman . Totally different to being a single bloke on here ." I had my first verification in ten days. 5 in the first month. 30 in the first four. I don't display them all as the majority are from group socials and don't really tell any story. I would be wary of any woman or couple that had a year old profile and no verifications. And there's enough great profiles that are verified that I don't feel inclined to invest my time with people who aren't trying. | |||

"I often get messages from guys. They are site supporters, photo verified but not meet verified. Obviously it’s over a year or more but is it that hard, especially with socials or webcams? (not keen on these). I know many will say we all use fab differently, forums, friends etc but these guys are actively trying to meet me. Would that be a red flag?" Only be a red flag if you allow it to be. Anything can be a red flag even if its not one. | |||

"How about....... joined 8hrs ago showing verifications. That pops up on my feed on a regular basis and Ive got to think thats even more iffy." Why is it?, if I leave and return I get several vericaftions within a short space of time. It just means that I've been here before and people reverify me, if someone wants to read into that it's up to them... | |||

Absolutely they are, I've been using fab on no off for 7 years, had ppl in the past knock me back for getting a few veris on the first day of setting up a new account | |||

It's all about probabilities and where people choose to focus their time in terms of chatting and trying to meet as can't do with everyone. Veris are a part of that for me, a quick filter, especially with couples and ladies as so many fake ones. | |||

"I often get messages from guys. They are site supporters, photo verified but not meet verified. Obviously it’s over a year or more but is it that hard, especially with socials or webcams? (not keen on these). I know many will say we all use fab differently, forums, friends etc but these guys are actively trying to meet me. Would that be a red flag? I recently asked for some profile feedback from a local couple and one of their suggestions was to hide my verifications . Equally there are threads on the forums talking about whether people actually like to get verifications any more. I guess it’s different for everyone. All I would suggest it’s verifications alone should not influence whether you interact with someone regarding a possible meet. You will have other factors that you consider important and they should probably take precedence For a single male wanting to meet outside of clubs or organised social events, verifications are important (but not crucial) and in my opinion one of the cornerstones of Fab. Veris compliment having a nice set of photos and an engaging profile and sets you apart from the hoards of other single guy profiles. Think of it like the Amazon of swinging, sure, you could search for a thing, read the blurb, check out the pictures and buy it even though it’s had zero reviews but reading other buyer positive reviews and comments makes you more confident about pressing the buy button… By having a good set of veris it shows that you do actually meet (not a time wasting, fantasist keyboard wanker), shows the type of people you meet (who doesn’t scan the profiles of the verifiers? “Oh he’s met that lovely couple we know, cool, let’s message him”) and together with supporting comments and the compliments paid, that you’re active (with recent meets taking place). " What he said | |||

"I've been verified by 4 people/couples, however three have left the site. So I only have one now. I think there are a number of reasons why someone might not be verified; some genuine and some not so much. I understand if someone has a straight up delete policy, but if you feel inclined could be worth a chat." Sadly a majority can't see past the "No meet verifications " on a single blokes profile. Many are happy to sit in judgement of single blokes who ,forever reason havnt managed to have a meet ,and call us time wasters ,yet won't give us a chance themselves. Seems a lot have short memories, and have forgot they once had no meet verifications themselves . | |||

"Yeah a year no meets seems excessive I'd be suspicious Sometimes it's difficult to get meets etc but that's crazy If you’re on a year and not bumped into anyone, you’re lazy can’t be arse fake sat wanking annoying those who do. " Wow ,just wow. As a single bloke who has been on Fab well over a year, who puts time and effort into my profile and photos ,with no meets what so ever ,to be described as a fake and lazy is staggering. I would love a meet, even just a one on one social for a coffee or bite to eat in a public setting . I use Fab daily ,post on the forums daily to try and be involved in the community and make new friends .I'm not lazy ,or a fake as you call us . I would have loved to have had a meet long before now ,even just a social ,but it hasn't happened . But to tar all us who have had no meets after a year on here as fake and lazy is disgusting in my opinion . | |||

"There's a logical extension to the OP question too. If you've been on Fab for over a year and still no meets and you've tried everything you can to the best of your ability, why are you still here? And do you think constantly bemoaning the fact that you can't get a meet on the forum is going to help your chances?" Don't think anyone is denying that. | |||

I've been on the site for 10 years now, and it took me a year to get a verification. Everyone is different | |||

"I don't write or receive verifications (in the days when I did meet). Not a fan. Not really any one else's business as to why though and if that means people don't want to meet then I'm likely to be ok with that too " My current situation is- used to be on fab. Got a few veris, had a break and came back and I've hit it off with someone that also doesn't have veris which is a bit annoying as we can't veri each other 🤣 but similarly to the comment above I don't really care for anyone's opinion at the mo. I'm pretty content | |||
