It works like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You attend a local meetup, event, or casual social hosted through <a href=\"https:\/\/groupfun.com\/\">GroupFun<\/a> or arranged with members in your area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another verified GroupFun user meets you and confirms your profile details match who you are in real life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once verified, a badge will appear on your profile so others know you\u2019ve been seen and verified by someone from the community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a simple, low-pressure way to build trust with people who are looking for the same thing you are &#8211; honest, respectful, open-minded fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/groupfun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Add-a-heading-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/groupfun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Add-a-heading-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/groupfun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Add-a-heading-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/groupfun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Add-a-heading-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/groupfun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Add-a-heading-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Get Verified?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To start, browse our&nbsp;<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/groupfun.com\/events\/\">UK swinger events calendar<\/a>&nbsp;or connect with members in your area. If someone nearby is already verified, they can meet with you and help confirm your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A coffee meet with a local couple or member<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attending a lifestyle-friendly pub night or club event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A small social gathering arranged through your matches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no awkward process or paperwork. Just show up, be yourself, and let the community take it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Does It Matter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, anyone can create a profile \u2014 but not everyone takes the time to connect with intention. Being verified helps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boost confidence in your profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage more meaningful matches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce ghosting, spam, and catfishing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We want GroupFun to be the safest and most authentic space for swingers in the UK. Peer verification is one way we keep that promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the GroupFun team finalises the onsite verification tool, you\u2019ll also have the option to verify directly through the platform. Until then, peer meetups are the best way to show you\u2019re serious about the lifestyle and ready to engage respectfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more or find a local event?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Head over to the\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/groupfun.com\/events\/\">GroupFun events page<\/a>\u00a0or ask in your messages to connect with a verified member near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GroupFun is all about creating real connections, but in today\u2019s world, trust matters more than ever.
