Verified twice, and the demands for proof have not changed at all
- Looking for

- Five years, three arrangements, one that mattered.
- Around
- the city centre, Manchester
I have done the verification twice. The badge is on my profile where anybody can see it. I am still asked, most months, in a first message, to prove I am real, usually by sending a photograph on demand, and when I offer five minutes on camera instead about half of them stop replying.
Thirty four, the city centre, submissive, five years in. I want to be fair. There are accounts on here that are not people, the ones who get hurt by that are overwhelmingly not men, and being asked costs me nothing at all. I have never refused a reasonable check.
What I object to is that it runs one way. In five years I have been asked to prove myself dozens of times and had proof offered to me unprompted twice. Both of those went somewhere and one of them lasted a year.
So my terms are symmetrical and boring. Five minutes on camera, both of us, before anything else, and I will go first if that makes it easier. Then a coffee somewhere public in daylight and as much dull conversation as you like.
Not looking for anybody who reads a check as an insult. Not looking to send photographs on demand. Not looking for a person whose entire profile is proof and who cannot answer one question about their own week.
