Nicely said, I meet a couple quite often who are not verified for pics or meets as they don't want to be, they also attend parties and clubs, definately not time wasters and they don't judge anyone | |||

"I've been a member for over a year, meet a few couples and singles but no-one has verified me, does it real matter is it a big deal? should I push for one." do what you see fit.. don't listen to anyone else if you are happy with the way you do things... | |||

"Of course everyone's free to do as they please but I think the point the thread op is trying to get at is to try and out the timewasters. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the idea of the verification system? I can fully understand if people don't want to show verifications but what's the problem with being verified? Yes people might want to stay private but then just don't show them, you still get the veri tick. Of course people can do with their profile as they please but I'm sure most people on here get fed up of timewasters and pic collecters at some point. Before anyone jumps on me and comments that a verification doesn't guarantee someone will turn up, I'm fully aware of that. It does, however, help people to out those that won't. I think the op is wrong in singling out couples profiles as it's all profiles, men, women and couples that suffer the same problem. Fine if people want to be on here just for fantasy, each to their own. It's when they start planning meets knowing they have no intentions of going through with it, that's when it get's frustrating. (And I used to be on here as a couple so got lot's of experiance with this ) " but to that i would say this.... again... point 4... if you don't like something about someones profile.. or if something doesn't feel right.... move on!! its not that hard a thing to do... i don't see why people decide to complain about the things they can't control, as opposed to concentrating on the things that they can.... people will do things there way... verification is one of them... show them/don't show them/show one/show all/show graphic ones/show discretion ect ect ect..... some people can't do right for doing wrong in other peoples' eyes... if some persons profile sends alarm bells thru you for any reason... guess what...... move on... i know... radical its people that dictate how someone else should do what they do that gets peoples backs up.... if we were all the same a)how would you then choose people? b) my god what a boring site it would be...... | |||

" This is a swinging site not a dating or time wasting site." ...... and i really hate people saying stuff like this because it is so condescending.... people who use to the site will determine what sort of site it is... so if people want to use it to date they will.... if people what a quick shag with strangers they will.... if people want to get to know people socially for a long time before they play... guess what... they will!!! the one thing I like to think about the whole swinging scene is that people are all embracing and all encompassing... but the reality is that some people are so narrow minded that they can't see past there own defination of what something is... | |||

"I think it would be very unfair on genuine wannabe swingers who are just coming into the scene. We were on the site over a year before we had our first meet but we spent that first year getting to know folk on the site and seeing if it was all for us. " Ok that's fine as long as you let everyone know where you stood. I'm not saying people shouldn't be given a shot otherwise how would people get verified I'm on about people who arrange to meet people knowing they have no intentions of seeing it through. The people who will lead you to believe they wish to meet when all they want you to do is go on cam and get your tits out so they can have a wank. Or see your pics or get you to talk dirty to them. (Experience from when I was on here with my ex) It's those people that I'm sure most people would be happy to see the back of. I'm not saying that people only here to chat and make friends should be kicked from the site at all. As previously mentioned by _abio it would be a boring site and it would surely put newbies off wanting to swing. | |||

"i am sick of the men that do this, the cpls you are referring to is most probs single men anyway" Some are some aint, my point is that they should be switched off, we pay money to support the site so get no advertisements, and this is a form of false advertising so should equally be switched off!! As for being sick of single guys that do this im not going there on that one!! suffice to say i hate it when couples slag off single guys . | |||

"As someone else said, what if someone wishes to use the site to socialise at first and get comfortable with the scene? That's their right. Or if someone joined, then met someone and didn't log on for months then came back when they were single again and is now taking time to find a meet? That's their right also. I hate all this "people should all be made to do this or be removed" crap. Live and let live. Incidentally, the only time I've had someone arrange a meet, got ready and sat waiting for someone who didn't turn up....he was verified - by a number of women. I've given several unverified guys a chance and never had a let down. (but lots of fun tho )" If you meet someone unless going to swing with them why would you want to keep the single profile active, can always hide it!! think the problem is the ones that are regulary active in forums replying to adverts, posting looking to meet tonight and contacting people and not meeting up. A year is beyond feeling comfortable and socialising, you either want to swing or not and know very quickly if the scene is for you, plenty of clubs socials to goto each month so dont buy the live and let live approach. My opinion but know alot of others feel the same and would like the timewasting to be reduced, otherwise it will become like some other sites about where it becomes to easy to mess about people, have seen other sites start great then go crap because of this. A deterrant is a good way to keep the wankers out, pun intended lol | |||

Ffs so every new swinger has an expiry date! i really thought i had heard it all then you pop up. i and others have said many times veris do not make someone genuine,they are simply a tool some choose to use. Some ppl do create a profile to feed a fantasy,(i hate the terms pic collectors and timewasters as meaningless).They are not hard to spot. If u believe a profile is fake report it,otherwise stop inventing rules of what swinging is...cos according to some rules as a single male you are not even a swinger! | |||

"Hi all, I dont know about the rest of us real swingers, but im sick of being contacted by all the couples profiles who are on for over a year without verifications or pictures. I think they should be automatically removed? whats your thoughts?" How about using the message filters that stop unverified site users from contacting you? It really is that simple! That way, you don't get the 'unwanted' contact from said 'timewasters'. Stop worrying about how other folk use the site... it's already been said by someone else that they waited over a year before deciding to meet.... I'm guessing there are others that are in that position as it can take a lot of guts to actually start swinging, especially when you are in a relationship and you are swinging for the first time as a couple. | |||

"Aaaargh! We get so fed up of people berating profiles for being timewasters, and then coming up with ingenious ideas to filter these rogues out. Lets take a step back and consider what they actually mean by “time waster”. Mr single guy gets home from work, opens his fab account and sees he has a message! Brilliant – single guys getting messages from couples are a rarity, so he opens it immediately, drafts a witty and charming reply and presses send. And waits. A short while later he gets a response, which looks very promising, and then enters into email tennis with the couple (although he hopes it is a short rally... he would much prefer to cut to the chase). It may even get as far as arranging a meeting. And then it goes quiet. “Timewasters!!” he cries. In reality what he means is that his hopes of a meet, the mental image he had drawn up of the fun he was going to have, the sheer excitement and anticipation he was experiencing has all vanished. So the other persons are blamed as timewasters. Wasting his valuable time. However, if he had bothered to look in the first place, he might have noticed there were no pictures on the profile, or maybe there were pictures, but they were just to good to be true. Or that the people had indeed never met anyone before. Or that the profile text was one sentence long. Or one of the many many other hints and clues you get when looking at a persons profile as to whether it is genuine or not. Maybe they had even just decided they did not like him, but did not want to say so. Frankly the OP’s suggestion that the profiles who have not been verified after a year be deleted, smacks of laziness, and effectively wanting the site to do the filtering process for him. In our view the best course of action is to treat every contact with a degree of scepticism, and then if they do turn out to be genuine its a bonus! By way of example, we received a message a couple of weeks ago from a couple In London – 300 miles away. But they were really keen to meet. However because of family problems they had hidden there profile. We could contact them via MSN to arrange something... After managing to stop our tears of laughter, we did actually reply (via fab), asking what they were after. A couple of messages more, and when he realised we were not going to give out MSN all went quiet. Bloody Timewasters!! " lol i know what all the pitfalls are, and its not lazyness just see it getting worse and more frequent as the site expands, and think it is the owners of the sites responsibility to take an interest to clean up the site and not just sit there take our money and hold their hands up when they could be doing more to help. The verification system for photos and meets is one that works very well if used properly, and one which makes swinging far easier and i see other less successful sites are now copying. Just think its time to look at it again and see if it can be improved to help out and ill say it again "genuine swingers" who do like to meet for NSA sex. Apart from another site which is a pay one this is the best by far and would hate it to slip. | |||

I dont mind any unverified people contacting me as someone has to start somewhere, if you actually read what i put its the people/couples/singles that after 12 months not meeting someone or putting pics on or being pic verified that need to be culled, as can see they are not likly to play but on everyday posting meet today etc. 12 months is enought grace to give someone time to see if they like this site or not. I have met people who are unverified in past but they had pictures spoke on the phone etc before meeting etc. just like those that played 3 years ago as a couple, are they one now?? have they split up?? who knows,best to avoid i do | |||

This is a primarily free site - whether you opt to pay a fiver a month or not makes no difference whether you can message someone or not. The site owners run the site exceptionally well but it's up to us the users to take some responsibility too in how we use. You have the message filters - use them! You have the block option - use it! You have common sense - use that too! FFS, it makes me mad when people want it all on a plate and just moan because it's not perfect for them. I routinely block people I see whingeing on the forums now because I don't want to shag moaners, frankly. The whiners really ought to realise they create such a negative impression of themselves. | |||

"i was on this site for over 3 months and had not had a meet,not by choice but because 90 percent of couples said they wouldnt meet someone without feedback even though i was photo verified. So its all a crock of crap, your dambed if you do and your dambed if you dont." Not strictly true. For example, I filter out newbies and unverifieds in the messaging system, simply to cut down on being swamped. But I can still browse their profiles if I choose and contact them if I like the sound of them. I have had meets with a couple of unverifieds before, because they had really well written profiles. And trust me, in my line of work I have an excellent bullshit detector so I can spot someone dodgy a mile off, but I can also spot someone who comes over as true but just doesn't have the veris yet for whatever reason. | |||

"Hi all, I dont know about the rest of us real swingers, but im sick of being contacted by all the couples profiles who are on for over a year without verifications or pictures." This is where you show annoyance at getting contact from 'all' of the unverified-been-on-here-over-a-year couples... this is a first for a single male... moaning at getting mail!!! "I think they should be automatically removed? whats your thoughts?" No automatic removal required! "I dont mind any unverified people contacting me as someone has to start somewhere, if you actually read what i put" I did actually... "its the people/couples/singles that after 12 months not meeting someone or putting pics on or being pic verified that need to be culled, as can see they are not likly to play but on everyday posting meet today etc. 12 months is enought grace to give someone time to see if they like this site or not." They do not need to be culled... maybe they don't want to be photo-verified?... maybe they don't want any pics on here at all?... maybe they use email or msn to show pics once they are comfortable sending them to an interested party?.. maybe they need time to take the plunge and establish long-term contact with other swingers to get their heads around swinging?... maybe they are super fussy about who they meet?... maybe one or both keep losing their bottle because it is a big thing sharing your wife/husband/partner with another after a long period of exclusivity? There are so many reasons.... It took us more the 10 years of talking about introducing others into our sexual relationship. It is only in the last few months we plucked up the courage to go for it... we have, like every other couple on this site, something to lose... our relationship. I'm guessing that you haven't had to face that? (forgive me if I am wrong). But, it seems that without any insite into swinging with a loved one, you should hold-fire on judging how couples use this and any other swinging site. "I have met people who are unverified in past but they had pictures spoke on the phone etc before meeting etc." May I suggest you stick to this selection process and simply ignore those that don't have/want pics or verifications on THEIR profile? "just like those that played 3 years ago as a couple, are they one now?? have they split up?? who knows,best to avoid i do" Gives me an impression you couldn't give a flying hoot... maybe that's why you can't see or imagine what a big deal swinging can be to those in a relationship? ....again, forgive me if I am wrong... | |||

"p.s.... and out of interest WTF is a "real" and "genuine" swinger anyway..... because like others have as said... as a single guy a lot of people would not consider us "singles" as swingers anyway... (not going down that road at all....) " Applauds this. Swinging is not only about couples. Not in my book, anyway. I've swung as a couple and as a singleton. So there (and don't forget us single women!) | |||

" Sorry frock you are wrong totally as have swung as a couple for many years until my wife and i split up, and had apsolutly nothing to do with swinging at all, we got married too young and grew apart and are still very good friends and are still FB's!! we were very secure and loved swinging as a couple!! All i can say is it took us less than 3 months to decide to swing and we really enjoyed it, made alot easier than picking up in clubs having sites like this. As for talking for 10years about bringing someone into our relationship, then wow i really fear for you both as trust is massive when swinging as im sure you realise allready!! again forgive me if wrong!! FFS im allowed an opinion as much as all you are, wether you agree or not with what im saying its a fact there are loads of idiots out there timewasting!! Since becoming single and having used this site on and off (i remove profile when take a break or get stalked lol)its become more difficult to see the wood for the trees!! it was a suggestion as to how to get it better, if your happy with the status quo then continue doing what you doing dont shoot down someone who comes up with a suggestion!! | |||

I am so glad that so many people thought what the OP has spouted has been nonsense... after all in the end you can only go at the speed of the slowest person... and if that speed is too "slow" for them... guess what.... move on!!! I absolutely get that it takes time for people to take that plunge... and that "time" shouldn't have a time limit on it.... if it takes them days/months/years to find the right people than so be it... I wouldn't want to be rushed..... and those "understanding" people will get that....

" That is one hell of an assumption, and I am not sure how you got to it. We talked about fantasies for a long while before we dived in and decided we want to cross the line to reality as I am sure lots of couples did. Swinging like anything in life isn't something you think of while making the dinner and try it an hour after. | |||
