I have of the years on this site chatted to a few couples that the profile is run my the male partner. Vast majority of them end up being the feeling that the male is the only active person and his Lerner is not even aware he is on here.

So what have you all learned is the best way for you to ensure that you are chatting to a couple prior to a social or private meet?

Ask to meet for a coffee.

We tend to run this profile together. I do most of the talking on here in messages, Mr N takes and posts photos, reads what I post and tells me when I'm being daft

You can usually tell by the style of messaging if the woman is involved

on the naughty side of the street

Invite to social or a club setting

Check verifications do they include meets with both or just the guy?

Tap on their verification loads only have one verification you go to that profile and they are hidden (very suss)

Read between the lines of their messages

Are they demanding pics or access to your friends pics

Our profile is mainly run by myself (Mr) as people would still be waiting for a reply from christmas if Mrs was in charge of it lol but think our verifications say everything about how genuine we are and when it comes to meeting others we look at their verifications and the odd rime it's someone new without any we only do first time meets at clubs so no issues really

Another couples profile here where I (mr) do most of the Fabmin..

Becky will pop in an out when she needs to but chats more when we’re about to meet.

As others have said, you’d be waiting a long time for responses if it was just B.

But, you never know who you’ll be talking with. Could be either of us, or both.

when we used to look for couples online we avoided male led/run couples it was so bad we stopped looking online and the same in clubs we avoid male led couples

its both or not at all and dont get me wrong there are some the other way aroubd too we've met couples where its all coming from the lady and the guy clearly not interested ..we just walk away

we get that some women are shy or a little less reserve i guess we are lucky that we know so many face to face and nowdays only meet couples in clubs where you can see for yourself

its the same with fuck buddy couples totally avoid yes they may have sex together and have fun together but they stand out like a sore thumb as a couple so avoid too..

single guy looking for a couple well hope you get the right ones as there some horror stories out there jealous husbands mainly going green eyed

Would like to add Mrs is on here 4-5 times a day reads everything and has input on messages etc she just terrible at online chatting and dealing with the profile in general, she does like to Fab pics lol  but that's just on fab in person she is the more chatty one and our play is led by her as I'm easy and laid back

Our couple profile is 100% run by Mr. The swinging is shared 50/50. The decision to whom, where and what is 100% Mrs Arpeggio, after I pre filter for her. It works extremely well for us.

We have sufficient and recent verifications to show we are genuine. If other couples demand a chat by the ladies, or a foursome chat here or in WhatsApp etc they are not for us. We use Fab to find couples and arrange meetings, not for inane chat or daily check ins. If they want to chat then we'll do it in person. If they don't like in person or they are too hesitant or to shy then not for us.

Same with us, it's surprising how many people can't see the fact that we have multiple verifications from well verified couples that talk about us both and still insist that Lucy doesn't exist v_v

Most of the admin is usually done by the male on couples accounts as single males usually try and just get straight into the female and get her to meet alone...

We are fortunate that, as a couple, we don't meet single profiles. So for us is just couple Vs couple. For you profile, must be difficult to navigate that, not always sure who's who and who's genuine. Even with our experience, sometimes some fake profiles get through our filters, so I sympathise with you.

As I said on another thread yesterday I've been here 8 years and I'm still waiting to chat to any woman who would be comfortable with a video chat.

I'm one half of a couples profile here too and there's not a chance in hell we'll be sending a video like that or having a videochat with anyone.

That doesn't make us any less genuine than those who do.

For exactly the same reasons I don't send facepics on fab.

I've had my facepics and personal details shared on chatgroups by others and had complete strangers walk up to me at socials saying that they recognised me from my pic in the groupchat even though I haven't been in any group or shared a pic in more than 4 years.

The same rules apply on the couples account and we don't give out phone numbers or names to people we don't already know really well and know we can trust.

If others don't agree with that approach then we aren't compatible so that in itself is a good filter.

And I bet you find so many people that give excuses to send you a video, right? We we would be one of those fake profiles and timewasters. No way we would make a video with our faces in it saying openly to the entire world we are swingers and share it with someone else who we have not met before. I sense many genuine people would give similar excuses the same kind we would give you.

I wouldn't send some stranger a video mentioning I'm a swinger which they can keep hold of.

It's easy enough to judge real people on here I've never felt the need to video call anyone.

However we were once called fakes for not wanting to video call a couple we had no interest in

I think our verifications speak for themselves I don't need to video call & wouldn't.

You'll find that many Men of the couples will interact with you without the Woman's knowledge. If they're graphic messages it's probably the Man. If they mention penis size it's probably the Man. Many Men on here will message and comment on the forum pretending to be a Woman. You can often tell by the content or their profile. If you get to meet the couple you'll soon get an idea if she was involved in the messages. We've met couples and the Woman had no idea they'd messaged us.

Really sorry if my reply came as aggressive. Can't see how it is, but in any case not my intention. Peace and Love. xx

My point is/was that, yes you can use your method for vetting but in the same post you imply that everyone who does not comply with that demand is by default non genuine, a timewaster, and any reasons to avoid it must therefore be an excuse. Basically, you leave no option for genuine people who do not want video images of them in other people's hands to prove they are genuine. For example, many people here have a large number of verifications with a genuine trail. Can't see the point of asking them for a video.

Hope this does not sound aggressive, lol xx

Check verifications.

How long have they been on FAB have they been verified as a couple on a real meet.

If on FAB over a year, no meets, probably not going to happen.

I sympathize with that. I (Mr) have had a couple of successful meets while on trips abroad, but it rarely works. Swingers abroad keep hitting the "who's near" button in Fab, and sometimes we get messages from couples that would never message us if we were both in the UK, so it is usually the wrong city, wrong timing, schedules do not match, work/plans commitments, etc etc.

And that's when dealing with genuine profiles, must be even harder for you to vet profiles with little or no verifications. If either of you needs to travel far for a potential play meet, it makes sense to ask for a video call, because the option of a quick social down the local pub that most of us in the UK have, it is not there available for you.
