So we got a FR from some couple in Florida, and sent them this message:
We just don't approve Friend Requests from anyone who has absolutely no pics, is from hundreds of miles away, and has never been verified. Especially when they've had a profile on the site for something like 3 years.
Sorry, but that's pretty much EVERY red flag that there is for a male picture collector with a fake couples profile.
Either it is a pic collector who thinks people just automatically approve FRs, or a real couple who, after 3 years, is still letting most everyone think they aren't real.
How silly can folks be?

We don't respond to FR like that either. Sending a message like you do seems like a good idea.
My last response to a picture-less FR was, "I'm so turned on by faceless people! Not."
Few weeks ago I received a fr from a couple that was verified and did have pictures. In my profile I state the obvious and even have it on some of my pictures in my public pictures.
I replied by saying I don't accept bind fr, I am sure you saw my countless attempts through out my profile. They replied, we thought we would give it a shot anyways followed by a clever emoji.

Yarp. "But I have to give it a shot in case I get something out of doing what I want rather than what someone else says they want." (I'm paraphrasing.)

We try not to ever just completely ignore anyone. After all, even someone who sends a blind FR with a profile that has most of the red flags MIGHT just be someone who either isn't thinking or who somehow hasn't caught on yet to how stuff mostly works. Or someone who saw our public pics and was so overwhelmed by their "OMG, what a hot guy" reaction that they just couldn't fight the compulsion to send a Friend Request before reading the profile.
Although given that Florida probably has the largest number of people on Swingular right after Utah (although Idaho does seem to be growing), and this "couple" has had a profile since May 2012 yet has still never been verified by anyone, I'd be surprised if that FR really was just the result of some kind of cluelessness.I wait up to a day for a blind fr to send me an 'accompanying' message. I feel this allows for contingencies while honoring my standards.
