do you think it's acceptable to hide your verifications on your profile or should they be shown?

if hidden do people think you've something to hide?

I think it could be for many reasons - maybe some people like to be more discreet? Maybe they feel they have too many veris and just want to show a few? Maybe they didn't like some particular veris? Some people like to leave quite graphic veris and it may not be your thing? Loads of reasons.

I sometimes hide one only because it is a little too explicit for my taste. I like the fact that you have the choice.

If you had to display them, you would have a potential issue with negative veris.

I keep mine hidden as it is my business who I have met and when, though I am away to contradict myself by saying, I am suspicious about single men who have been on site for a 'short' time and been verified but it has been hidden

Must just be the cynic in me

Yes its acceptable why should anyone have content on their profile they don't want on public display.

Some of mine are to graphic for public consumption

You only need the little 'verified' icon to show you're verified. No need for the actual words.

it might be best to hide them if you mention that you meet married men on the forums. i have hidden mine for the time being as not meeting anyone at the moment and notice that lots of other people dont show theirs.

Some people do like to look at the profile of who left the veri, just to see what kind of person they meet.

I do get a little suspicious to be honest but nothing that would put me off.

"Some people do like to look at the profile of who left the veri, just to see what kind of person they meet."

This actually. I to check out who people have met before I contact them to see if I may even be their type (as a lot of eople don't specify)so I don't have to waste valuable brain power/my A material blowing their minds*.

*I may be exaggerating slightly.

After reading this, it got me thinking: I'm sure there is a way of hiding verifications, but now I look for it, I can't see it. Could some kin person point in the right direction? (Preferably not the door marked Exit

) Cheers

Sometimes its not even in your control if its hidden as if they leave the site it automatically vanishes. The Verificiation things a waste of time anyway, so many fake ones going about these days that its hard to determine the true ones from the faked ones

Simple.. Next to your veri's you can choose display on profile or not.

As for the OP I don't choose to display all veri's as some I deem too personal, not anything to hide just show what I deem as suitable.

The thing is-you can't choose whether or not to accept a verification, someone who's met you can send one if they like and you have no control over what they put in them, but you do have control over whether or not you choose to display them...if they're graphic descriptions of what occured, if they're repeat verifications, if it's from someone we have subsequently found out isn't really for us...many reasons for us not clicking the "display on your profile" button...nothing sinister and nothing to hide...just personal choice really...

if I'm going to meet someone, I often read their verifications.

anyway, they are not called verifications, (well to me), they're reviews

Thank you! I was under the impression that you had to display it in order to complete the verification process.

I would agree that some veri's can be too personal. For example, those which refer to a person by name when the person being verified hasn't disclosed it in their profile.

if hidden do people think you've something to hide?

If it was compulsory to show them, I would ask men not to verify me. (I do anyways)

Who I play with & when is my business & any vulgar veri's would have me deleting my profile, so I wouldn't site support at all.

I'm in agreement that cam veri's should have a different colour tick though, as I only look at met in persons ones, and if a profile doesn't show a few I move on to the next one

I must admit I dont show my verifications unless the sender is happy with me doing so. Having been verified by several guys on here with `straight` profiles it saves them the embarrassment of others knowing.

I show them when I am actively looking for a new partner. It gives an indication of the type of man I seem to gel better with.

I don't when I am not.

Mine are hidden through my personal choice.

I have a mix of cam and in person veri's. Unfortunately, a couple of the meets in person have left the site, they don't have a signal under the patio

If you are suspicious of someone who hides their veri's move on to someone who shows them all, well supposedly shows them all....

Not completely true as that could mean perhaps just 1 verification saying

I dont like verifications that are too graphic, and also dont see the point of showing multiple verifications off the same people or verification by webcam, so no, I dont show all of mine, only those I choose. X

And if were shown it would verify what the verifier had verified.

Some site users get very territorial, and well....verifications can be like the red flag to a bull in some instances.

That is just one example of why some people hide certain verifications.

When it is anything more than 3 in succession from the same person, the subsequent verifications lose meaning, and just appear as bragging rights/ territory marking, FWB status.

If people want to read that into my verifications then they are not the kind of people who I want to meet, therefore, job done if it puts them off. So, I still see no reason not to show them.

Bragging rights/territory marking? Ha! Sorry but that made me laugh! That's a convenient label for people who choose to make assumptions.

"I have nothing to hide. Just get fed up with guys telling me they're better than previous meets. "

This together with messages from other women/couples asking "is he a good meet?" The people I meet are compatible with me, the chemistry between us is good otherwise I wouldn't meet them! How can I possibly judge whether the same would be true between them and someone else. The obvious way to find out is to communicate with them not me!!

I used to show mine. Then I met 1 guy, we had fun, said we'd keep in touch.

Next day, he'd messaged everyone of my verifications and friends list telling them to keep away from me, because I was now his.

Now I hide them.

I ask the men that I have met not to write a verification on my profile.

We know if we had a good time and I don't want to have it advertised.

Some see them as a badge of honour and others not.

I don't think there is anything wrong in hiding them.

Or it shows a consistency that one is a person you were happy to meet again??

Many people post up 'will meet again ' in a VERI n when y go thro them - they haven't (or if they had they didn't veri again)

I see multiple same person veris as a positive not a negative
