"Hi guys the newbies again just wondering because we are very naive how do you tell if it’s a fake profile or a pic collector x"
After time you’ll get to spot the tell tale signs. Lots of single males pretend to be a couple on here in the hope it will give them more chance of meeting a woman. They also tend to disappear off the site when caught out an reappear under a new profile name |

As others have said you'll learn fast enough what signs to look out for.
We find going to clubs a lot easier if we're actively looking for a meet as this site can sometimes take up far too much of your head space and time trying to find a compatible match that is free at the same time as you. |

Unfortunately its trickier than ever... Meet veris used to help, but seeing as how thats not been possible for near enough a year thats no good right now. You tend to get a feel for profiles that seem 'off' after a while though. |

Verifications by meets, and playing are the only way to be certain that you are not dealing with fakes. I've even found out about a few turning up for a pub, or coffee meet, getting a verification, and then they are up and running to post as many verified profiles as they want. That's why I won't verifying unless we play. Obviously meets are on hold at the moment for most at the moment, but that's not going to last forever. |

I am not sure why you wouldn’t verify at a social meet? This site is for more than just “playing”
Lots of my verifications are from socials.
It’s more about proving the person is real and is who they say they are? |

I guess I’m Fakey McFakeface then, because I want to see a face pic upfront. I loathe talking to people for a while and then when they finally send a face pic, I don’t fancy them at all. It’s awkward at that point, much better to get it out of the way upfront. |

It's a good point about a profile having only "social" veries, especially if they have been on for a while, not so suspicious if they attended one organised social early on in their swinging.
If they have a few meet veries, and you can follow the veri "chain" to see that the people they met are genuine, then its highly unlikely that they are fake.
For us, we treat any new profile as fake, until they prove otherwise.
If a completely new unverified profile asks for pics, we will politely ask for theirs to be sent first, we have no issues in refusing if they come back with the old "we asked first" line...we are genuine, THEY are the ones who need to establish proof, not us.
Bottom line...if you really want them to prove they are genuine, ask them to ring you, provide your number and tell them they can withhold their number, no risk to them that way...and if its a couple, make sure "she" is available to chat...not "at her mums", "working", "popped to the shops" etc.

Sometimes personality goes a long way Well I think so anyway lol face behind the profile then is a bonus hopefully lol |

We all get hit by fakes every now and again. A recent experience has led me to be a little more cautious with sending face pics.
It has come to my attention that the green tick verification means fuck all without the green flag.
Anyone can set up multiple accounts on here and easily give themselves a green tick veri from their real account.
Photo verifications should be mandatory to join. Everyone should have to have a green tick to be on here. |

There's a local 'couple' that have at least 4 profiles on here and they've even used them to verify each other. You can tell from the people in the photos, the way the photos have been water marked and the likes/dislikes that all 4 are definitely run by the same person/people.  |

"Agree that everyone should be photo verified at the start. It takes two seconds. And if you don't, you clearly have something to hide "
Been on and off her 13 years, never been photo veried but can assure anyone i am real  |

Interesting thread this has been because, fakes are usually one's that I spot quite quickly, and with all the connections I've got, it doesn't take me long to corroborate whether someone is real or not. As a well verified single guy, if I get blocked for no apparent reason, it's usually a guy posing as either a woman or a couple. So if you get blocked soon after making a connection, take an experts word for it, you are probably dealing with a fake who knows that they are out of their depth, and punching above their weight, and knows that you have them sussed. |

Really ? We block lots of people of every sex and combination before any message has even been passed - not what we seek , Covid met requests and posts etc. - and we block lots after they’ve sent a message and we’ve said : “ thanks but no thanks “
You’d be a block list candidate on both counts as you’re a straight male for example |

I’ve blocked a huge number of people because of their forum posts. They’d probably see that as “no apparent reason”. Judging by some of the “tips” on this thread, I’m the most fake ever! |

We had several so called cpls profiles contact us. As soon as we suggested the women have a chat on the phone to prove they are genuine they either blocked us or disappeared. Suggesting a phone chat for the women usually susses them out if they decline. |

Or it could be the cocky way you reply to post sometimes.i know you from years ago on here and know people you have met. Each to their own. We habe chatted to loads of cpls on the phone to prove we are genuine. Its the way some people have a go at others on here or horrible replies to posts that earns sone straight blocks on here. Each to their own. |

Oops, another tick in the “fake” box for me lol - I won’t speak to anyone on the phone, I don’t give out my number. However, I also insist on an in person social so maybe that makes up for it? |

Yes a social would make up for it. A social is a must anyway to see if we all get on for any play to happen. So yes a social is even better to be honest. |

That’s what I always think - definitely s out the ones where the wife is always “working” or “asleep”! And the ones who are using photos from 10 years ago, which I’ve had before. |

Well we don’t phone speak. We don’t want to give our numbers out and, quite frankly, we couldn’t be arsed with the hassle of keeping a separate FabFone.
We however , NEVER fuck on first dates and always meet for a public chat - remember those ? No ? we neither - and have a cooling off day or two before we decide to meet and then they can have our number . They still never phone to cancel mind and vanish into a 5th dimension never to be heard from again |

I would also say most of the fakes I've come across are the ones that have very little on their profile and ones with just 1 or 2 photos but it says they have signed up year ago or so. Like others have said too the ones who dissappear and delete their profile too xx |

Quite often when photos are downloaded then uploaded the quality diminishes resulting in poor quality, This is just one of many signs |

We have found a few ourselves.
The most recent one was even fab verified and had a meet verification. I recognised the lady in the pics from reddit. I approached the real person and she confirmed it was not her so I reported the profile as fake and it got removed. I hope they removed the profile which left the verification too as that would be another of their profiles. |

Thats not always true, I've been on here for a while but only got a few verifications, not long after signing up I met someone and was in a relationship with her for a while until it ended.
I've hidden most of my photos as i was recognised by a client who is or was on here. |
