FabSwingers.com forum: Verifications

By (user no longer on site) OP

Do verifications paint a true picture?

If a meet goes bad, I doubt if you will leave negative feedback( eBay style) and even if you did, what are the odds it will be displayed?

Do people (like to) read it all?

What if u read a profile and all the veris seem to come from a particular group eg single bisexual black guys; could that mean you should piss off if you happen to be a single straight white guy for that matter?

Some profiles state they do not want notches on their bedposts but fuck me, the list of veris stretches from Bradford to Barcelona! Are veris overrated?

An old profile states they want to meet but all their 11 veris are by cam! Am I missing something?

Does hiding your veris boost or reduce your chances of further meets?

Finally what would you do if your verification is not displayed or even reciprocated? We all have different standards of telling if a meet went well or not but I think anything from ' average' onwards should at least deserve " thanks for coming " pun intended.

Take them with a huge pinch of salt. To me they just prove that someone claims they have met them.

They are however entertaining to read.

Don't take massive stock in what a verification actually says. The summary shows if they are verified, but what people say is down to their own experiences. My experience won't necessarily be the same as their's.

I am more interested by what they say about themselves.

Well, since it seems to be the barometer for measuring who is(not) a good fuck.

But before you get too emotional, remember all of this is just intellectual masturbation.

Don't personalise stuff.

I wouldnt like to receive a graphic veri of my meets. What goes on is private and it's enough to say a good time was had etc. I don't like reading them either. Mine aren't displayed

Most verifications are repetitive, crass and not particularly illuminating. They aren't reviews, a rating of the sexual prowess of the person! They should verify the profile as genuine, e.g.:

"Petunia is a woman, about the age she claims to be and her pictures are representative of how she really looks. She turned up to our meet on time and we have no reason to believe she is fake in any way" now that's a verification.

"Petunia is a sexy minx, tits to die for and sucked me dry six times whilst soaking my bed with her gush. Don't pass her by guys" that's a review

Which is more useful to you when deciding whether to meet someone?

Actually they're meant to show if the person is genuine, not if they're a 'good fuck' or not as you put it

I can't see any evidence of anybody on the thread so far getting emotional or personal about this topic...

The verifications are backup to common-sense judgement and part of the proof that the people are genuine. They are not the be-all and end-all of evaluation but do help to give a fuller picture, especially where they converge in confirming a particular attribute.

I'd jump up and down and take notes Of names for our couples profile. ...I haven't seen a profile like that yet though Sadly

I like reading people's veris and they are useful to an extent but I don't really pay too much attention to the overly graphic ones as they don't really tell me much. They are fun to read though and as I'm here for fun they get my thumbs up.

I think veris can give you and indication if the types of meet and the types of person they might meet. They aren't the be all and end all but I certainly think they are important. I'd likeep to think that mine give an indication of the type of meet you would have.

I meet all types of men for different types of meets. It's why I'm on here,I like the diversity. My verifications are the tip of the tip of the iceberg and don't give much away about my sexual tastes. I talk to men to decide if they are right for me and go from there

Exactly this .

Sabrina loves looking back over our veri's too , a sure fire way to give a lift on a bad day !

If people don' t like graphic veri's , don't read them , simple really isn't it ?

We would far sooner read a more descriptive veri than a veri which simply states that they are who they say they are . It gives a more reasoned idea as to what may be expected , and what boundaries there may or may not be .

We find our meets do read our veri's and comment on how comfortable they feel in knowing we really will turn up , and that a hot and horny night will ensue if we click . This is one of the reasons we prefer to display a selection , and it certainly works well for us

Verifications are a good source of information

I agree that they nobody would leave a bad one but, if somebody has 3 recent good ones for example that would do for me

I like the verification system - you have to learn to ignore the hyperbole, the pissing contests, and read between the lines sometimes, and whilst it cannot confirm for sure you will click with someone sexually, in my opinion it's sometimes pretty easy to tell if you will not!

I prefer to see a few recent veris, I personally find a long list off putting, and I am suspicious if all are hidden.

we make our choices by looking at profile pics and veri . and also message and chat ... we dont use either of these on thier own they become useful tools when all used together

We choose not to show verifications, can't see the point of them, as some we may have chatted to in the chat rooms have asked us to verify them and we have not even met them

The verification system is not intended as a personal performance review service.

It's purpose is to confirm that the user is who he / she / they purport to be - and also that they are reliable / dependable - i.e. will turn up for a meet etc.

I try and leave suggestive but not graphic veri's .

But i do use veri's to build up a picture of someone .

And i also discount webcam verifications as they mean nothing .

If I meet someone and send a veri then that's my choice, if they don't display it or don't veri me back then that is their choice...I certainly don't take offence.

Personally I use them like any other selection tool on the site.

I keep mine private as it's my business who I've met and what has occurred, however, I'll happily open a couple of them up if a prospective meet wants reassurance that I'm not a time waster

I only really use veris to see what kind of person the guy has slept with. Then i make a decision as to whether i would meet them or not.

Hmm the other day some cheeky git concluded, due to our veri's - newest being 10 months ago, that our profile was wholly owned by mrnotts because I had left him

Hey guess what - we don't verify or need verification for all the fucks we have and maybe we are meeting people not on fab anyway

I'm sure people use veris for different reasons but that's really the main on for me. I would use them to decide if someone was real or not if it weren't for all the fake profiles with fake veris.

Sorry, but you must get a veri every time you have sex. See fab rule 371-42/7

I don't display mine....one or two are a bit graphic and I don't see the need, I used to display many of the nicer ones but I just hide them all now...i find it makes little difference, i still chat and seem to meet ok.....

I've had somebody not verify back fairly lately too when I verified her...I wondered why but seeing as I've been invited back a couple of times, I'm guessing it's not a negative reason...i'll get round to asking her ar some point maybe.....

Mine are hidden for a simple reason.

They're all too graphic for me to display in public. Reading them even makes me blush so I'd never want others to see.

I'd be happy to display them if they were normal 'yes she's real' ones but I don't want all and sundry reading intimate details about me.

How do people meet outside of Fab? Honestly, do people really rely on total strangers when deciding whether to fuck another total stranger?

Anyone answering "yes" wouldn't be for me, so it's all good, I like to make my own mind up about who I'm going to be intimate with and seek the same.

I read them and I also look at who they have been given by sometimes so I can see what their usual type is.

Mine tend to be more factual ie turned up on time, clean and well presented, good skill set etc.

I do take them with a pinch of salt though. I know some people don't like people with lots of veris etc but if they don't show the summary and only choose to show certain ones you wouldn't know they had more anyway. I left a veri for someone last week and they said it was really nicely worded and they would leave me one, but they haven't shown it on their profile and haven't done me one. I can't say that it bothers me to be honest as I think I have has some nice ones anyway which do reflect the type of girl I am. I'm pretty sure it's because they don't want their public audience to see I'm perhaps not as hot as their other meets which is fine.

So, yes I do read a potential meets veris and look at whom has left them but the are only a small factor in if I choose to meet with someone. A woman's inbuilt bull shit detector is usually pretty good and ing out the good from the bad
