Men pretending to single women or couple is a popular tactic used by men who can't get meets and just want to perv, I'm told" If somebody just wants to perve all they need to do is join the site, it's free and very easy. As soon as you put a picture on the net it will be looked at, you can't control by who. Men do pretend to be couples or women to get involved in dirty talk and set up meets but I'm not sure how that can be stopped but they're pretty easy to spot. | |||

There are some who simply aint here to meet, just chat and their up front about that. However it doesn't tak a wizard to spot suspects and their 24-7 meet tonights & daily status updates about last nights or tonights amazing meet Yet months/years no further veris if any veri's at all. An easy go figure moment | |||

She is finding her feet and wishes to take things slowly, not drawing attention to herself so she can pick and choose her meets as and when and also dictate the pace. We got on really well and have arranged to meet again. However I asked if she wanted me to verify her or not...we decided that no verifications would take place (she can't unless I do first anyway). So that's how it will stay. She remains unverified...but is nevertheless genuine. | |||

"We were at a party at the weekend. A couple came that were unverified but had only been on Fab as a couple for a short time although on as singles for a while. Needless to say, not fake but now verified. Guess I'll just have to rely on my spider sense and out the fakes myself. What the fuck am I paying a site supporters fee for. Surely admin can do something more than delete our more risqué pictures" I pay for it primarily for the messaging history and the ability to see more than one cam. If you're not getting anything useful out of it, then just let it run out. Seems like the easiest option. | |||

That's what I've come to realize. So if people want to create accounts in order to jack off to people's public pics and never meet, I don't see an issue. Or if they just want to wank off in the cam chat rooms. Or if they want to have sexting chats. All of these are things related to sex, that fab caters to, and which are unlikely to get you verifications. I guess I just don't see the problem, even though I do use it to meet on a regular basis. -Courtney | |||

"Utter rubbish. Ive been on here over a year and send dozens of polite messages but as a single guy its near impossible. No one meets or seems to want to know. If you ask me the whole site is full of fakes. All im looking for is one fb." I honestly think it might be a regional thing too. As a single bloke I did ok. Partly because of who/how I am, partly because Leeds/Bradford/Halifax/Huddersfield is a hotbed of filth. Lol. Funny and true. | |||

Beside ID, the limited number of clubs I have been in have asked for my fab profile. I am pretty sure if you go to any club regulalry you'd stumble across someone who would be willing to verify you. I see no harm in showing caution to unverified members who have been on for such a period of time. If they were such veterans, they would appreciate why a verification or two would be important prior to contacting. Everybody knows there's single guys that pose as couples just to get meets and pretend the other half cant make it or to get off on elicit pictures, with no intention of meeting. | |||

But for instance, I generally don't give out my usernames to clubs or people at clubs. Generally those people have no need for that info. My partner is the same, he almost never gives out his usernames to people online. He just tells them that he can't remember it. | |||

Surely what matters is the content of the profile and members having enough common sense to take a realistic view of a profile . I don't think that these so called fakes would go to the bother of writing a detailed profile . In any event fakes have no impact on other members as you simply ignore them. What matters is how you market yourself , not what others have in their profiles . | |||

Men pretending to single women or couple is a popular tactic used by men who can't get meets and just want to perv, I'm told" You're told? So an issue youve never actually encountered? The way to deal with that would be reporting it. But it seems odd your so concerned about these fakes who youve never had an issue with. | |||

To us an unverified profile just screams fake. We've all got start somewhere so it stands to reason that you're going to be unverified for a short time. Auto delete after a fixed term would free up space and save time for genuine swingers. " I disagree with the statement of them being fake. My bf had a single profile on here and took 6 months for him to get a meet. Sometimes cab take single guys longer. Doesn't mean they are fake profiles. I do agree there are a number of fake ones out there and we have had our fair share x | |||

"If they are unverified for a year surely that means it's a case of buyer beware. They could be just interested in the lifestyle. We looked at doing this for years before we actually did anything. " Exactly. Everybody should be free to do whatever they want But hell is going to freeze over before I will respond to someone who has been here for 3+ months without a single verification, unverified profile, no photographs and a one liner for the profile text and message | |||

"I've actually had people reject meeting me because of my lack of veris. Well surely you have to start from somewhere, some point. We all start from zero. I'm more suspicious of those who have veris after just 2 hours of joining the site. How on earth do you work that one out? Peter xx .somone they know jist told them about the sute so they hoined up and were verified by thier friend" A few hours after a signed up for a couples profile on here, two other pairs of couples mailed us to ask if we wanted a verification in return for verifying them back. So I am generally suspicious of those. | |||

"This site is getting worse with timewasters..... Fab needs to do something as lots of genuine people are leaving. Introduce better filters so the real people can enjoy swinging and the many fakes can chat to just themselves. A year with no pics and no veris and a online profile shows contemp and that them people are just here to perv.... Put a symbol by these kinds of profiles so we can all avoid them.... And don't give in to the bull that the people have high profile jobs etc.... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ADMIN !!" Just ignore those people then. Not doing you any harm are they | |||

"I don't agree myself. It can be a factor you take into consideration when talking to someone about meeting. But I have met some guys who set the account up then never used it till over a year later. And they were genuine." That was what I initially did. Set the profile up, got into a new relationship, moved closer to Birmingham and therefore nearer to clubs than where I was before... and so didn't need Fab. Now it's nice to hang out here to see what's going on. | |||

Adjust your filters and ignore. You already have all the tools you need to enjoy Fab. Use them. | |||

Shouldn't we all be allowed to use the site how we want and have our profiles to suit us ? | |||

"OP sorry my partner had a bad stroke and we are now classed as fake! " Seems a bit disingenuous - we all had to start unverified somewhere? | |||

You mean like say giving you a filter to block people without pictures or unverified people? Oh wait those filters are already here. I notice most of the people complaining about time wasters seem to be the ones too dim to have read the whole list of filters. | |||

"No we don't share your view at all. Don't forget that those members of the armed forces may not be able to access Fab whilst they are away. Don't forget those, who sad as it is, may have passed away. Yes there are some who set up a profile whilst d*unk, didn't get anywhere and forgot about their profile, just don't forget the above." Of course you are correct. There are many perfectly reasonable explanations. Undeniably however in the vast majority of cases the explanations are more sinister. They are fakes or fantasists who will talk a good game without any intention to meet. Waste time if you wish finding out the reasons but in most cases you will eventually accept you should have walked away right at the outset. | |||

"I don't see an issue. Use your filters. Some people aren't here to meet, but should they not be on the site? (for example, keeping in touch with friends, checking out photos, etc.) Not to mention that some guys have a hard time getting a meet. Our first meet with a guy off here was with a guy who was unverified for over a year. It was a great meet. -Courtney This is Fab, not Facebook Good point and I've lost count of the number of times I've said the same as you guys on the forums . But it's a big no to suggest that people on a swinging site should meet . Quite why I still don't know , perhaps I never will . But that's how it is with the fab forums , may as well accept that swingers don't have to meet to be on here and crack on doing what you're doing Huh? So you're on a swingers site but don't meet? You're not a swinger then" are you made of _hampagne and truffles? hmmmmm???? | |||

"Two equally attractive profiles. The first has been a member for 12 months but remains unverified. The second is soundly verified. Why would anyone choose to accept the additional risk of a let down by arranging a meet with an unverified person? If you are desperate for a meet, any meet then you might be prepared to take the chance. Frankly however there are more sexy, attractive and fully verified members on fab than we could hope to meet in two lifetimes so why bother. " Glad I don't live on your planet | |||
