People's misconception about the "real" status is so funny, all it proves is :- it's the sex of the person's profile. Eg it's a black male, or a couple or a female. It doesn't prove that the person is serious or genuinely active or experienced in the lifestyle. We Had a "real " bbc lead us down the garden path this week, with a mixture of false claims etc, he sent action pictures claiming it was him etc, after doing a reverse picture search , I asked him when they were taken, his reply was last year. What is even more funny is he said he was 27 years old , the pictures he sent first appeared on the Internet in 2009, When I showed him the search results, he was still adamant they were of him and followed up with " I'm genuine and real" This is why it's pointless verifying on here because being "real" doesn't mean they aren't a fantasist or timewaster. Which is a real shame for those who are genuine and honest .
