Is it me or do you think people should be at least photo verified before they are able to look at people's profiles? We get this quite frequently that people that have no verifications but get access to our profile.

We all have to start somewhere.

I'm photo verified, but waited a few weeks before doing it. Photo verification is no reflection on the validity of a profile. A dreamer and timewaster will still dream and timewaste irrespective of verifications.

Also some people do not want their pics on the Fab server in case it is hacked.

Their profile, their choice.

It doesn't really bother us if they're just looking. If they contact us without pictures or just pictures of the woman if they're a couple we tend not to respond.

No I don't, we see photo veris as virtually useless and it doesn't really bother us who looks at the profile - we only share pics that we don't mind having on public display so it's no skin off our nose if people who aren't here to meet look at them.

There are plenty of site tools to stop those without veris/newbies etc from messaging so don't know why people are so insistent on photo veris being required.

I've been photo verified, but due to time constraints and location, have not been able to arrange any meets... what your are suggesting would mean I would be out of luck completely... I understand your position OP, but as long as the site deems someone honest (via photo veri) then that should be good enough for us...

Fab profile BTW

You can photo verify without it going on public veiwing. We have found that some are just photo hunters. Genuining swingers are being held back by these people.we have filters on but theses people likesome how seep through the cracks

Well, I don't condone anyone taking the images of anyone else. When I look at the pics on a profile, I simply use them to gauge the possible chemistry that could be there whereas if it were a blind dating site, then I would just take my chances

Why do so.msny people ferl the need to come on fab and tell others how they think it should work

It's simple no one is obliged to do anything apart from follow the club rules..

If you don't like the way it works then there is another choice that doesn't involve imposing your prejudices on other members

How on earth are "genuine swingers" held back by people who aren't photo verified? What even is a genuine swinger?

Yep, there do appear to be pic collectors on here, never quite understood why. If they're a real concern just have a couple of pics and put the rest as friends only.

Thing is people don't know whether they're going to like your profile until they look at it, maybe it's not pic collectors but people who look and realise you're not for them.

We pay for more privacy and protection from those that are getting a cheap thrill for nothing. Theres plenty of other sites to do this. We are all looking for those that genuinely swing and past experiences have shown more people just looking for a cheap (free) thrill.

We post our private pics separately. Only those we get to know now/ or have met we show anything more. Through experience we have learnt this.

No, site supporters pay for extra pics, a better inbox and various other frills.

If you don't want people getting cheap thrills make all your pics private, photo verification doesn't exclude fakes/photo collectors/unreal swingers. As with any website if you don't want random folk to see it don't post it.

If there were more robust criteria in joining it might give people more confidence in What information/images they show....just my opinion

Lol see you serious?? How arrogant are You!?

Who are you to tell others how to run their own profiles?

This is not just a swingers site! Called FAB for a reason.. Friends And Benefits!

What's a real genuine swinger in your opinion is just that...your opinion. Others have a different view on it whuch suits their lifestyle.

I as well as others will use this site as we see fit (long as we play by the site rules). There is no obligation to play with anyone. Lots are here to use the forums, post pics, chat about anything and or meet singles or couples! This isn't a couples site!

You do not pay for privacy. You pay for more pics to upload, see who has viewed you and see your own message threads. That in my opinion for me,is not worth paying for, so I do not! Doesn't make me fake or a free rider. Why on earth would I pay for something I wouldn't use nor require??

Lastly, just because someone has verified pics, doesn't make them fake etc etc. Just because you or others have verified pics, doesn't prove to me that pic is of You! Could be anyone. All you've done is upload a pic of a male or woman. Congratulations, we can all do that. In person verifications prove to me who's real. Nothing beats meeting someone in person to tell they are who they say.

Good luck on here

I'm not sure to be absolutely honest, I just think it's too easy for anyone to join up and instantly get access to profiles....some of us live in small (backward) towns/village's where rumours can absolutely create issues, which is totally not what FAB is about!

Ok, so if "new" members were able to see profiles only and all image's we're blurred or invisible UNTIL a minimum of photo verification is achieved? Yes it's not fool-proof but it would combat the (instant) fakers, wouldn't it?

We are here to enjoy the scene with like minded people. Not for those just looking for a cheap thrill. We have filters but they still managed to get through. There have been a some good suggestions on how people can view profiles which could be put in place which may help. Thanks to those that can identify the same issue as us.

Remember this is just OUR OPINION

We are careful what it is put we put on our profile. Just getting concerned that those that use this as a free site get accesses to those who pay and add profiles. There should be some form of restrictions for those who choose not to pay to use it. Like blurry pics or some form of verification before they can see all profiles.

I don't agree there should be such a difference from supporters to none supporters, there's plenty of other sites if that's your thing....but certainly there needs to be a limited acces partition to help prevent "nosey parkers" but which equally doesn't discourage new members....which actually I believe if, nervous new (potential) members experienced the friendliness of the site and be able to expose their secrets more securely, it couldn't do anything but be a good thing?

You can get photo verified easily and quickly on fab. Can hide verfication but you can be recognised quickly too. When profiles show months if not a year being on here and still no verifications is really off putting and suspicious

I know 2 guys on here who have been verified after being on here for a year. Personally who gives a hoot if someone is verified or not.

So don't put your exact location, use the nearest city, and don't use any pics that have identifying features, it's not rocket science. At some point you're bound to come across someone you know but they're on here too. We work on the basis of plausible deniability.

And as for photo verification, it's so simple it isn't going to deter anyone with ulterior motives. Especially as you don't even have to have your face in shot. All that tells you is the person behind the profile showed a pic of a person of the right gender.

We've been on sites with much higher fees but there were far less local people (far less members full stop) and the behaviour was far worse. I'm guessing people spending a lot made them feel more entitled.

The simple answer is this is a public website, the onus is on you to protect your information. If you don't like it find a site that only lets members view profiles and message (but don't be surprised when they're expensive and full of fakes with money)

I think everyone should be taken at face value verified or not.

Frankly I find this snobbery towards unverified people abhorrent. What if the unverified also pay to use the site? If they pay they are also entitled surely?

People who are well verified can mess you around, verifications hold no guarantee of anything.

I had a guy message me, verified site supporter, who told me so much bull about owning Fab, and being able to look at messages. Owned an island and a helicopter allegedly

Logic tells me unverified will least mess about because they that all important verification.

Or maybe a time limit. So for example they can't see pics for the first week. Same as new people can't post on the forum for 7 days. That would put off the d*unken Friday night ones that sign up to leer.

I still think it's up to the person with the profile though. Lots of people are exhibitionists and want to be wanked over. If you don't want everyone to see your pics, don't put them public.
