"Show them all, if someone takes the trouble to write something about us we will display it. Our verifications tend to be from people we meet socially at the clubs we go to so why would we be ashamed of them ? When we verify people we talk about thier social skills, appearance (like thier pics or better) sense of humour etc because even if we have sex with them that is between us and them not everyone else because it is irrelevant to anyone else, what is fun sex for some people is not fun sex for others." i agree i would rather do a nice verification than oh hes great at this that and the other, what works for me may not for someone else | |||

"we hide ours because we had someone contact the people on it, and on our friends list and said we had recommended them, which we didn't. We don't expect verifications after every meet. I mean, how many times do people have to say you are genuine? We would verify new members, but once you have a few, what's the point?" If a prospective meet wanted to see or verifications we would show them, no probs with that. All our veri's are from meets. We don't do phone or cam | |||

"What do people do with their verifications? Do they hide them all, only show so many, show them all? What would make you hide a verification, and do you always expect 1 every time you meet someone new x " I only show the ones that aren't too rude... in the end, people really only need to know that I am genuine and that they had a good time and a good laugh.... they don't need to know every single bit of a meet.... where is the fun in knowing | |||

"I show a lot of mine for reasons that some of you have mentioned but I also wanted to show what sort of person I am too. I also think it may well put some folk off though." i guess if they put someone of, it could be also considered a positive... | |||

"I always look at others verifications, I always get suspicious if all verifications hidden, makes me wonder why! It's not all about the amount, just I like to see what others have said. I always make my own mind up but I like them x" Exactly. Spot on. I also dont read the verifications to see what happened in the bedroom either. Not interested in that information at all. | |||

" I have to say though that not one person that I have been making an arrangement to meet has ever asked me to show ours to prove that we do actually meet people " I would never ask to see your verifications if you had hid them. You obviously dont want people to see them. Thats fine. However, I would be wondering to myself if you had only phone or cam verifications. | |||

"meeting at a club is a totally different scenario than communication through a singers site. Verification is very far from being an exact science, but as a working tool it offers some guide into what is always going to be the unknown. " Yes it is but the site offers the option to hide them if people wish and I do Its never caused us any problems and I prefer the discretion,people may think we have something to hide.........I don't really care if they do,I don't spend time worrying about how other people use site options on here,its totally up to them I have more than enough fun from here so it works for me | |||

" Just how is it sneaky? Im not really liking your attitude to me Im using an option the site has given if you think im sneaky then tell ask admin if they will allow a function to stop people that hide their veris to block them form looking at other peoples Im sure I won't lose sleep over it | |||

"Ouch !! touched a nerve there..okay you're not sneaky, but you still haven't explained why it's okay to look at other people's verifications whilst hiding your own. I don't think you are the most baddest person in the world, I simply want an answer" No nerves touched its just a forum and ive been on it long enough to not let anyone touch my nerves Why do I need to explain anything anyway,profiles are there to be read,some have veris some don't some have friends on show some don't,if Im looking at one with everything on show or not makes no difference to me People should be allowed to use the site and their profile how they want to without questioning or wondering why they choose to do to a different way to me or you If they did'nt want people to look they have the option to hide everything they want,so no point assuming that people are sneaky for looking when its all there for everyone to see I also don't show on peoples looked at me list,now im even more devious and secretive | |||

Be wary of the argument you are making because at the moment you aren't practicing what you are preeching... | |||

"It's hard to miss verifications which are openly listed on a profile. There's nothing sneaky about hiding verifications and reading others' ones - they're right in your face after all. What do you suggest, I hide my eyes? " suggest you read what I said. Never said it was sneaky to hide verifications, and of course you will look at verifications, but can't you just admit to a soupcon of double standards. | |||

Never said people should'nt have a choice..and I guess you know you're argument re pics is flawed .I can't ask to see verifications, but people can ask to see my pics | |||

"Does anyone else get put off posting in these forums by some of the hostility in the posts. I would love to join in sometimes but can't help thinking I will get shot down in flames!

One got the hump because one of my meets had met someone he liked as well as someone he didn't! Agree also, once you've a few verifications to say you're real and meet I don't see the point of hundreds all saying the same thing! | |||

"I show three or four, just to show that people on here have met me.....Well good for you, I'm still looking for people that hide their verifications and never, ever look at others !! Well enjoy your search...Suspect it's a futile one" I can't lie and say I have never read a persons verification before now, but what I can say is, we don't read the people who mail us asking for a meet....and we have met people with no verifications at all. We read the profile, plus the mail they have sent and if it suits us we have a chat on MSN and verify who everyone is. We then make our mind up wether we like the person and wether we fancy meeting. We don't need to know who they have met before and how that person thought he was a great person/great at sex, as that person could have a totally different idea of what is a good meet. We like to make our own mind up about a person but we also like the fact that the people who mail us also like to make their own mind up as they are mailing us even though we have verifications and friends lists hidden. As an aside, we don't ask for verifications but as we meet single men we are quite happy verifying them if they want us too. So there you go........you found one | |||

As a couple we go through the same criteria as you, we like to make our own minds up, and meet strictly on merit, zillions of verifications or not.Instinct and eventually experience are important, but I'm sure like others, we sometimes get it wrong. It's all about choice of course but we see the showing of verifications as a mutual celebration of pleasure/fun shared, and as I said in my first post, the site would be a dry,joyless less entertaining less human, place without them. ps people message you, even though your verifications are hidden, because of the fab pics.lol | |||

I verify newbies, but not every or repeat meets, unless to update from years previously! I never show graphic ones or ones using any name other than my username. I don't expect them, it's a pleasure if I receive them but will not always show them all, unless asked. Happy to give them too but not always necessary. Hate ppl going through my friends list to see who I have on there or who is on my veri list. It's my profile, admin have given me choices, I use them as and when they suit me. My profile is currently hidden as I've had a busy time and I need a rest, nothing sinister but still has ppl wondering. Simple answer is, you put not meeting on your profile, it either gets ignored, asked why if I'm not meeting wtf you doing on this site etc etc ad nauseum. Yes I read some veris, yes I show (sometimes) my veris pics friends etc. but this is a hobby not my life so it fits in around me, not vice versa. xxxx | |||

"Personally I hide’em…. Couple of reasons really… Firstly I agree with what someone mentioned earlier, that a lot of people are put off by seeing overly long profiles, and including every verification can sometimes make them look like the closing credits of Lord of the Rings..(and who do you put in or leave out without causing offence) Second reason,,,, no matter how hard I try to make it clear that I Crossdress as a fetish, and not a wanton desire to be thought of as female in person,,, I still get verifications that refer to me in female context,,, and I aint hav’in it, I tell you…..….”grrrr stamps high heel and swings handbag in total exasperation”… Oh and thirdly… because I’m such a diva…. I aint sharing my profile page with no-one….I said…no-one… haha " Strange..think I've just read your profile ! | |||
