Is it just me (and it might well be) BUT something doesn't quite ring true when there is a couples profile but
the photos are all self-taken, selfies.
Surely a genuine couple would take photos of each other .
I understand that it may be a selfie if the photo is of both together.
Suggestions , serious or otherwise , to explain this please.
Fair points on both counts.
I have and do meet.
I could post faceless photos of my body which I keep in good shape (although I appreciate that everybody has different preferences) . Please appreciate that I have a very genuine reason to retain some annonymity, and its not the reason some may instinctively think.
So what I do is make initial contact, as I would in any walk of life. If what I have to say is interesting enough to engage somebody in knowing more then it starts to become appropriate to share face photos and contact details .
Having said that, please dont get me wrong, I very much appreciate the erotic photos that people do post.
Your personal explanation on why you take your own photos makes perfect sense.
Thank you for contributing and enlightening me.
Perhaps the un-pictured party has similar reason to yourself for wanting to protect their identity?
There are lots of reasons for pics being selfies only - maybe a couple are so busy enjoying their together time that they don't get to take photos but when alone they can take as many as they like, maybe the non-photographed party isn't that keen on having their picture taken (for a million reasons), maybe taking a selfie is a turn-on for someone and they like to share that good feeling with others. It also depends on the dynamic of the couple; for instance, I am part of a couples profile on another swinging site, but aside from one "this is us" type pic (which his wife took for that specific purpose) all other pics are selfies of one or other of us because we don't only play together and we wouldn't be able to share pics of other people. It could also be the case that pics of the other party are hidden in their private pics and are only there to show to people they are actually meeting with.
Obviously if you suspect that a person is lying about being a couple, you can report them - I've done that in the past and usually the profile is immediately changed to a single male one (I assume there is some sort of dialogue that allows them to dispute the change if necessary) but usually there are more clues than just the photos.
Any profiles you suspect to be not as stated.
Then please use the report profile tab and it will be investigated by the admin staff.
All interesting and valid replies.
I hadn't given it any in depth thought. It was just a passing curiosity which is now sufficiently satisfied.
Thank you all for the, mainly, positive enlightenment and engagement.
It goes to show that it is better to be non judgemental without being in full ownership of facts.
(Note to self... remember the above!)
Now as for my next curiosity.....🙄
No body should put face pics on EVER i think, but it should show some kind of pic as it is hard enough to try find a meet, but if they have no pic then most would just move on, we all want to remain private, but some kind of pic would 100% help get a reply if you are what they are looking for, if you want to chat and show more there is always a private cam chat, that is just what i think x
Lou says I’m rubbish at pics (mac) so she does selfies.
Most of our couples pics are in private and if we feel we can trust u we might give access or you could catch us in cam .
I see some pictures on here that are superb in both quality and construction. If I had pictures of that quality I would share them far and wide - well for a given value of far and wide.
I know that I am rubbish at taking selfies so I use the timer on the camera, take a few and select the least abominable. The wife has taken some profile pics for me. I don't tend to like the ones of me that she likes and any that I take of her she thinks are generally awful.
I guess that I would benefit from spending time with a photographer before I get old and fat but until then I will have to make do.

A timer??!! For those of us old enough to remember, sounds like the old Hamlet cigars ad in the Photo Booth 🙂.
Sad tho it may sound to some, get a selfie stick. Beautifully compact with an inbuilt tripod and connect on Bluetooth so you take the pics when you’re ready not when the timer dictates.
Sure you’d have fun with it.
That is not a bad idea. I will give it a try.
Still need to learn what would make a good photo but baby steps I suppose.
I remember some of the Hamlet adverts. Wasn't there a set with Russ Abbot which included his "Body Beautiful Cardigan" ?
