I haven't taken the plunge of meeting anyone from the site yet, but I spend a decent amount of time perusing the profiles. One thing I've noticed is that the 'verified' videos often are jarringly different from the pictures.  The overwhelming majority of the time, I get sucked in because the picture is really hot.  Then I look at the video and it ain't even close.  I mean the girl is scary ugly in the video and a true beauty in the pictures.  I didn't know you could touch up a photo so much.

Have any of you ended up meeting girls and being pleasantly surprised relative to their pictures?

Seeking does not have a "verified video" option. But Secret Benefits does.  

 
My experience, and I think the general consensus here (with noted exceptions) think the Sec Ben site is worse than useless.  They require the SD to buy tokens to be able to message each POT SB. Each new SB requires you to buy/spend more to connect. I went through about $200 in three weeks when I tried the site - with zero good results.  

 
So it's not surprising that the videos don't quite look like the pics. And the addition of a video to the profile does not ensure that the person is legit. It just proves a human, presumably female, made a video.  

 
My suggestion: Take a look at Seeking. You can look at profiles all day without paying. But ultimately you will need to pay for at least one month to get unlimited messages during your paid period.

Yes, I honestly don't know why some POTs include a "verification video" on SB, it has saved me a lot of time and a lot of wasted credits by seeing that the hottie in the pics is a pig in the video.

 
And I have had horrible luck on SB, out of a thousand credits, a thousand credits that I used rather judiciously I might add. I have met only TWO POTS out of roughly a hundred contacts, not a batting average I would brag about. Of the two that I did meet, one of them I have seen over a dozen times so I guess it wasn't a complete waste of money, but it was pretty close.

The girls posting verification videos don't realize the guys get to see them. The reason I say this is because some chicks will not post pictures or pictures without faces, or blurred pictures, but then show their face in the verification video, which guys can look at for free.   Why the stealth just to blow it on the video?  Probably because they don't realize who can see it.

And that leads to the unglamorous videos that don't match the boudoir stills they put out -- best makeup, best hairdo, best clothes.

As I always say, go search for the topics of either celebrities or porn stars without makeup.  Holy shit!  Prepare to be shocked ... in a bad way.  

SB "skills"? Maybe she has software and skills to blur / blot out an image file (jpg, gif, png, etc.) but maybe she does NOT have the software or skills to anonymize a video (mp3, mp4, etc.).

I posted elsewhere about complaining and getting my money back after an intense two-month side by side comparison with SA. Conversion rate is laughably low.  
I plowed the money happily into SA premium.

One thing I didn’t write before was about the POT profile I suspected was a plant by alt SB to keep interest by members. Pictures were too hot. None of the usual Red flags (of needing to fix her car right away or selling me pictures, etc.). Kept scheduling meet and greets and would cancel in the 11th hour. Would ghost me for awhile then write a lot of texts elaborating about her situation. When I canceled the membership, I couldn’t help sending a “I knew you were fake” text.

Couple weeks later, I get a response: “ so did you tell the site what you told me?”

Lol. Assholes.

I've always wished the SB admins would let the women know that we men would see it and recommend that they put "their best face forward" on the verification videos. I've noticed so many of them are taken with no makeup, hair brushed, in sweats, etc and the photos of themselves are IG quality or straight from there.  

Another profile I skip right over is one with many diff hairstyles and colors and I've no clue which one is most current because that matters to me.
