We have a hard time trusting accounts that are not verified and wondering how others feel about them. Of coarse if we accept a friend request that person will get to see our private pics. We love letting people see but only those who are genuine and usually only those who we are interested in ourselves. We get requests from new accounts and we know that it takes time and money (since you have to buy an account) to get verified but how do we know that new account that says "couple" is not really just a single guy or pic collector? Even accounts that have been on here for years and have never verified. Why wouldn't you verify?? Thats a red flag to us and no matter how hot we think you are, if your not verified we will most likely ask for some form of proof you are real before we accept you or agree to meet. That's one last point, No we will not meet you to prove you are real. We love to have fun but safety first.

Sorry...we're not going for it without a Temple recommend, too...or at least a note from the bishop....sheeesh
Getting verified is easy, though not quick. What's better is to have someone who has met you to verify you. We had to that, plus it was more fun! ;)
Does it rilly make that much of a difference? A good handful of people on here don't trust it one way or the other. For example, we are verified and have been met with scorn and mistrust anyway.
There have been a few on here that are accepting and willing to talk but for the most part....

. That's interesting because we have never received anything from you.[/quote]We seen you were verified and now we can't trust your profile so we withdrew request ya know us UNverified's gotta stick together we don't want a bunch of "real" people messin up our flow:)
We verify folks as real all the time. But only after we have met them. And that's at a club, party, or on the street. If it's a couple we need to see both together and verify the wife knows it's for Swingular. And never once have we hooked up with a couple we verified. That is not a requirement.

Folks not verified we do not place any trust in them. Just figure they are flakes until someone verifies they are real, and if a couple both knows the other is in looking. No phone calls.

The site offers the send a picture with I fo, but we ask for a bit more.
Look for the union label
when you are buying that coat, dress or blouse.

Remember somewhere our union's sewing,
our wages going to feed the kids, and run the house.

We work hard, but who's complaining?
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way!

So always look for the union label,
it says we're able to make it in the U.S.A.!

Where do we sign up. Sounds like the "Real/Verified" alternative.
We can attest to Seeherfull as being real :D
Obviously I offended some like AWHOOTY and your being kind of rude about it. Didn't realize everyone thought exactly the same and some people might not have a different opinion than you and be able to voice it. If some have good reason or just choose not to verify because they never thought it was needed then that's fine. Just realize that some might be hesitant to open up when you aren't or don't even have pics of the two of you.

Seriously, yes you can cheat most any system. Never-the-less, the two of us do tend to trust the actual existence of a member that is "verified" over one that is not.
Thank you. Yes I know that any system can be cheated and its not like they would get more than just some pics of us anyways but I still want to limit our chances of getting taken advantage of to some extent. I also feel bad because there have been some very attractive people on here that we don't accept because they are not verified and and we don't want to miss an opportunity to meet great people. But I'm also not going to just accept every request. Trying to decide where to draw the line. Hence this topic.
Even if you are verified as "real" or "VIP" not sure what the hell the difference is, some people still don't believe you are real, so we tell them to read our comments from other couples and we still get the" you're just a single guy" simply because we don't give out the female's phone number to them, so it really doesn't matter much but for what it's worth go with your gut and trust no one, we are all sinners. ;) kidding trust someone

Two things. First, you CAN get verified, but it can be difficult. It seems they only have one person doing the verifications, she doesn't always have access to the Skype thing, I'm not even sure she ever has access to the Swingular Skype account at all, and she may not get your Skype request, so don't use that. Instead, send an email to [email protected], saying you're trying to get verified. She can use the video chat to get it done. Then the chat might be down, too, which happened to us. Luckily, it turned out she went to the same school as we did, and we were able to meet there the next day. Otherwise it could have taken even longer. And I think I finally might have figured out why the different logos for verified people. Maybe VIP means verified in person rather than over the internet.

Second, about believing non-verified folks are who they claim to be. Personally, I'd ignore the people who have had accounts for over 6 months and never got verified. That's not just a red flag, but a big red flare too. Things were, in one way, easier in the "old" days, when I was a single guy in the lifestyle. No internet, you pretty much had to be brought to an event by someone, no worries about who was real and who was trying to pretend they were someone they weren't. Now anyone who comes across the site can create a profile, and quite a few single guys do, pretending to be a couple, often posting pics that they have access to of some girl. There are two kinds of guys who do this. There are the pic collectors, who want access to private pics and, if they're lucky, private videos. The second type are guys who think (or at least hope) people on swinger sites are like sex addicts or something who will screw anyone who comes along. I suppose some of us are but, sorry boys, EVERYONE, even addicts, have standards. I mean, even damned few alcoholics will drink Sterno or rubbing alcohol. These guys think that they're so damned hot that any lady they meet, even with her partner, will either not care that the supposed female half of his couple doesn't exist or will not care enough to question their excuse about why she couldn't make it.

Do people trust unverified people, especially unverified couples? NO!!! I set up this profile in, I think, April, with just a pic of me 'cause that's really the only one we had to post. We weren't really doing anything with it at first, so that's all I did. Until about a month ago, except for the "welcome to Swingular" email, we got zero responses to the profile. I finally got a couple pics of Dana, posted them, and made her the primary profile pic, and we started getting a few emails, but not many, and all from single males. Then I got us verified, and we started getting lots of emails, including some from couples. Of course, still tons of single males, and they, and I'd guess 95% of the couples, were clearly interested in her, not me, but what're you gonna do? The point is, based on recent personal experience, few people, except a few single males, who "have nothing to lose", believe that unverified couples really are couples. Many have no actual reason to think that any specific unverified couple isn't real, but they aren't willing to take the chance. I'd even recommend that single guys get verified. There ARE people interested in a single guy, sometimes for the female of the couple, sometimes for a threesome, whatever. Not tons of them compared to the number of single guys available though, and, sad to say, you get judged mostly, at first anyway, by your looks. And just like there are single guys who pretend to be a couple, there are single guys who post pics that are from 20 years ago. I know there have been a couple folks who said they wouldn't have believed the main pic of me was really me after they saw my age if we weren't verified, they would have been sure it was from a while ago or something. Although I do admit my hair's brown now, not blonde, but that only changed a couple months ago. (Although if I were trying to convince people I was younger, why the heck did I list my real age?) So single guys, if you get verified, people will know that pic on your profile really does look like you, and that's about the best advantage you can have in the competition with other single guys.
Thank you TMACA!
Evil, now thats a union I.could gladly pay dues to and not care much with what they do with it. As long as they promise me lots of juicy sexy girls and all the fun I want, Now they dont have to deliver just promise. Sign us up, and give me an address to send my dues, $69.69 right
This is kind of like not inviting someone to a party and then complaining because they don't come. The rules for VERIFYING are very clear: single men cannot be verified; that rank is only for couples and single females. So the concept that single men cannot be trusted is self-fulfilling. Many have posted in this thread that they don't trust people who have been on here a long time yet not verified. It would seem to me that it totally capricious and unfair to keep single men from being verified and then talk about how you don't trust them. I see no reason to not let us single men be verified.
In reply to TMACA: Single Guys CANNOT get verified! This is the statement direct from the verification page:

What is the Verification Program?
Our verification system is our way to assist you in finding 'REAL' members. Members who have been verified have proven that 'they are who they say they are' by utilizing one of our three verification methods. Only single female and couples with a Gold or Platinum Membership can be verified. If you become a Bronze member, your verification seal will be removed.

Why get Verified?
Most lifestyle and social sites have been over run with advertisers, fakes, and picture collectors. We want our members to feel more confident in contacting others without having to deal with such hassles. By get verified, you have a better chance of being contacted by other 'REAL' members.
Who can Verify Members?
Only VIP members, Local Hosts or Site Administrators can verify other members. We keep track of all verifications and rely on the honor system with our VIP members. If we find that a VIP member has verified another member who is not 'REAL,' their verification privileges will be revoked.
How do I get Verified?
We offer three easy ways for you to get verified: 1.Email a picture of you and your spouse (or you by yourself if you're single) clearly holding a HAND WRITTEN sign with your Username, current date, and the word Swingular written in big, bold letters to [email protected]. Couples must be in the picture together embraced. Your face(s) must also be clearly visible.
2.If you have a webcam, you can request to be verified during a live webcam session. We use SKYPE. Our Skype handle is 'swingular.' Contact us when you have the time to be verified.
3.Meet a VIP Verified Member, a Local Host, or a site administrator in person. Let them know you wish to be verified and they will verify you through your profile on the website.

What does REAL and VIP represent?
The VIP seal stands for 'Verified In Person.' It means you've been verified in person or by webcam (single females & couples only). The REAL seal means you've been verified by a VIP member, webcam or through email.

I have wanted to be verified here but I cannot be granted that privilege. I suggest that couples who "dismiss" single males because they are not verified should take time to find out why. I've been on this site 7 years and I have had members tell me that they don't hook up with "non-verified" single males. I ask them, "how do I get verified?" I now ask the administrators of this site, "How does a single male get verified?"

Look around the site and you will see there are a lot of verified single males. As a single male you just have know the secret swingers hand shake and demonstrate it correctly to one of the 69 ordained lodge guardians on the winter solstice while reciting the secret dirty limerick version of "My Creed" by Edgar Albert Guest.


Fact is, I've asked to be verified by sending the picture with Swingular written on it. Last time was five years ago. Both times I sent the picture there was no reply and no verification. Both times the "administrator" pointed to the verification page. I remain on the site because occasionally I find a couple near me has posted and I can contact them.
I have a face pic on our public page you can see who I am what more do they want? (Male half)
Single males CAN be verified if they do it correctly. We have single male verified friends on here. The only thing single males can't get is VIP. But at least if you are verified REAL then anyone looking for a single male knows that the pics are really of you.
Getting verified is easy and why not do it? People (including us) often don't take you seriously if you're not. We usually don't accept friend requests from people that aren't verified, unless they're fairly new. Sending a message with a friend request is also a big help. We have no problem verifying someone we've met. Also, having pictures of both halves is equally important in getting more interest in your profile. Best way to meet real people and get verified is to go to Meet-n-greets, house parties, and events.

Darn. I thought I'd seen some single guy or guys that had verified on the profile, so I assumed they could be. I must have been mistaken. (Inserted -I WROTE THIS REPLY BEFORE I SAW OTHERS SAYING SINGLE GUYS COULD GET VERIFIED. IF THEY CAN, I THINK THEY SHOULD, IT OUGHT TO HELP THEM GET MORE RESPONSES.) If they can't be, I'd have to think that it's because nobody thought they'd need to be, that people only worry about some guy pretending to be a couple when it isn't so, therefore only couples need to be verified. But if that is the case, it really isn't fair. I've been told twice about someone setting up a meeting with a single guy whose pics looked like he was a 30 something, then in both those cases, they turned out to look like 50 or 60 somethitn. I have rto think that because that does happen sometimes, it makes some people at least a little bit hesitant in contacting a single guy even if they can "use" one, and like what the pics look like. I really think single guys should be able to get verified because then anyone seeing someone's profile would be sure that's really what the guy looks like. Let's be real, at least at the point of do we contact this cuy or not, looks are nearly always the main consideration. It's also kinda unfair to any couples who do want a single guy, they can't be certain he lloks like someone they want to meet.
For me, the question is the opposite. Do you really trust the verification? I for one, put more faith in the quality of the response I get from someone that I send a message to.
We are never against giving unverified people a chance. We have meet tons of unverified couples along the way and wouldn't change it, we have establish some amazing friendship out of our encounters. The only thing that makes us unfriend someone is if they have no face pictures or pictures together.
I wish they would verify single males. I have tried to get verified several times. I am very real and very willing to play or be verified. I suggest that you chat some to make sure someone is real or not. Hard enough for us single guys who are real and cant get verified. Please give us a chance. :)
Seriously we are always suspect of profiles without verification, that said we have verified some from here we have met. The profiles we really don't understand are the ones that don't post pictures. We have yet to meet anyone in person that won't post a picture! After all who do you know you are meeting? We don't allow anyone to send pictures via the net, really you can get pictures from anywhere even craigslist allows you to capture and save them! Like most of you we have now or are still on other Lifestyle sites so finding someone on a different site isn't a big shocker.
Deliciouslywet don't be scared of coming to Vegas there are a lot of wonderful lifestyle people here and many more that seem to always want to come!
If there is a process by which single men can be verified then ADMIN needs to change the verification page for 2 reasons:
1. To erase the confusion by deleting the portions that say only couples and single females can be verified, and
2. Giving clear and cogent instructions on how single men can be verified.
I agree that there should be no way to verify a single male. How could you? Run a marriage license check and court check. Far too may liars and cheaters out there.

As for single females we seem to be ok with them cheating.

We've met more than one couple who were cheating on their respective spouses and swinging together. Should they be able to get verified simply because one of them has a vagina? I guess we could (just to be on the safe side) run marriage license and court checks on couples.
I seldom pay any attention to the seal. It is easy to fake a profile and get it marked real. VIP is a little harder but does not always work as it should.

As I understand it, any VIP person should be able to VIP anyone else that can be marked as a Verified In Person. All couples profiles should have a button or icon displayed that shows up when the profile is viewed by a VIP. Clicking this icon elevates the couple to VIP statue.

But the world isn
we've been on the site for +4 years. during that time we have attend at least 50% of the larger listed parties (new year, halloween, valentines, foamy, orchard, etc) and many of the house parties. we know (in the biblical sense) numerous singles and couples, been to dinner with several other couples from the site and not once has anyone requested us to verify our identities, flash our i.d. or pressed the secret handshake. we don't get it!
Get verified ...
Get verified ...
I view it as another stigma relevant to a specific attribute of a group; another way for others to discriminate against something they disagree with; social separation within a community to separate a community, which by all intents and purposes should remain undivided, aware of others needs and desires in the community, concerned of their issues as they should be of ours, and caring to another's preferences as it may just cause you to miss the opportunity of a lifetime. Even though we are all connected by our desires to be truly free sexually.

With that being said my wife and I have been swinging for quite a while, back before the internet was a major form of communication. This meant that we had to stay within a certain distance, not leaving much of a choice as far as options for partners/friends go. Nobody was verified or not verified. Yes, i agree that there are risks involved in the digital environment, but there were risks then too; but you didn't have the option to use the best search engine to pull up someone's life history. We were smart and made smart decisions to avoid scams and such. Use logical thought and it shouldn't matter if you are verified or not. We aren't verified, never asked to be really and have had a good many encounters with real couples down for a good time that pays proper homage to a more socially and sexually free ideology reminiscent of ancient Egypt & Rome. We'll speak to you and friend you based on non superficial factors. Its a bit childish really and contradicts the basis of the act in the first place. Stereotypes, stigmas, or even micro-aggressions (current version of discrimination) all are forms of social restriction/oppression and have no place in this type of community. Just goes against everything free love stands for... what it represents.

Hit us up for other-worldly pleasures, verified, non verified - Ps and Ds are the same either way. Oh yea, sorry for the philosophical rhetoric at the start, wanted to give the proper image of what it is to swing - to love free of social bonds. Think on it. Have a cum filled evening everyone!
