Certs and how important??

and then, I realized, much to my delight, that her thighs were covered with a Freudian slip...

Any opportunity to crack wise, provided I’ve had some coffee.

While they continually add new unwanted features here, they still don’t have an edit feature on the Forum so theigh can be corrected to thought, but then again BT did may have identified a Freudian slip.

I read between the thighs on that one.

"However I understand the thighs process..."

Really? Seems to be a life skill for many.

Obviously I feel certs are useful, and overall an asset for a single male profile.

I have met 8 couples at parties and from SLS but have never posted certs. I would if I was asked too. I have reccommended couples in private chats after asking them but always figured what is private stays private.

We check out certs and there’s good and bad things about them. It’s different for everyone.

Some people love them, some people hate them. I think they're useful, especially for single men. We stopped accepting them a few years ago but we will give them if someone asks.

We didn't use certs or post them for a long time. Then I realized I did tend to look at them when considering single guys. After meeting with a few guys who had some really good reviews, I realized that it was important for them to have good certs. We still don't worry about them for couples. However I did start posting certs for single guys that I found were really enjoyable to be with.

Cents turn me on more than a profile and the pictures in the profile, Certs tell me the person is real and not some fake just here to play games. Certs give you a better understanding of the person you are talking to vs just what they write in there profile, anybody can write anything in there own profile, but Certs are legit, Honestly I won’t waste my time with someone who has been on here for years and has no Certs. What’s to hide ?

To me, Certs is a double edged sword. Anyone who has too many is not what I am looking for. Mostbjustvsaybthey attended an event. When I think of whom I have been with on this site, none had certs. However I understand the thighs process that if people, especially SM have certs they are “real”. Vetting potential playmates takes time, effort, and communication. There are no shortcuts. Yes, attending parties and events might cut out some of the process, but still not all. My experience has been there are three types of swingers: those looking for a fuck and run; those looking for connection/fwb; and those who talk the talk but then bail just before a potential meet. Certs do not necessarily tell you which type you are communicating with!

for single guys it mater a lot for us...couples not as much we just voice verify with both before we schedule a meet.

Single guys are a much bigger dice role without one...

Remember though it doesen't mean you played...so don't assume that

We don’t do certs either.We don’t tell who we play with and hope they don’t either

I do,nt give Then or do I want them! Who all I play with Is Our business .

Obviously to you very it seems you posted this 3 times. Maybe check on that and remove the extra 2. Now as far as how important they are to others well that varies and as has been said the subject has been discussed multiple times in the forums. Some see it as a vital way to determine if someone is real or not. Others realize that the person receiving them can accept or decline them so only the "select" ones show. For us they really do not matter much because of that reason and we will never accept one because it is no one else's business who we have spent time with or how good they thought the time spent was.

BTW having read a few and through others stating as much some people give a cert if they simply spoke to you at a party or event. They say how wonderful you are and how much fun they had when in fact all that happened is they said hi or were simply introduced and moved on. So the question needs to be asked how true are the certs?

Welcome.. and yes its been talked about for years.

We can see both sides.. maybe a single guy a couple certs, for us we will not use or do Certs and the one we kept is from a swinger party in NOLA that we paid a lot of money to attend that was nothing more than a meet and greet.. we even got into a heated argument with the Mgr along with 6 couples on what he did.. a scam! But he gave us a CERT.. why...everyone who came and paid was given a CERT !

Have you ever seen a BAD CERT.. never not going to happen.. so their are couples near us in GA that want to (old) email, now IM , chat and meet for lunch all for a CERT, and they asked us for one too.. Ridiculous.. those same couples never ever play and give every excuse as to why they dont!

Our xxx photos and our FWB all know we are for real and dont need a pat on the back for what we do swinging.. well over 20 plus years! Make the journey yours not what others think it should be.,

This has been beaten to death in the forums.... In general, a single male should have a cert or two. This is due to the large number of flakes and fakes.

Keep your shirt on.

I have had women put in certs but I felt goofy putting them up.
As I go along one couple said without a cert they were reluctant to meet.
So the question is are no Certs a deal breaker?
Since I am at it, critique of my pics?
Anyway thanks for the advice.
