Swingers enjoy an unprecedented amount of freedom in this modern age of internet searches and instant communications via the web, able to plan and meet at exotic locations and memorable points of interest, restaurants, movie theaters, just about any location that the swinger can imagine. This ability to instantly hook up with a like minded swinger or dating enthusiast over the web is a recent development, and the powers that be are still working out the bugs in the system, such as the ability for participants to lie about their age. The systems in place are designed to protect the user's identity online and to keep them anonymous.

Providing proof of age to internet web sites that offer swinger dating sites and market places is beyond the technology currently in place on the web and in the vast majority of most internet users' homes. It is this failing of the web that can potentially cause so much damage to the adult swingers dating site's patron, as an improperly verified age can lead the enthusiastic swinger into a world of trouble. Dating ages are specified by individual states, and are regulated by law enforcement officials in each region's respective geographical area. Learning the individual states age limits is a good idea for any swinger, but ensuring that the age the swinger's potential dating partner has given is her true age can be a difficult thing to do.

Many club goers utilize fake IDs to gain illegal entry into clubs that serve alcohol or feature nude dancers or other, adult related material. These falsified identification materials are easy to procure and can be as thoroughly constructed as the original documents. For the average joe, spotting a fake ID is out of the realm of probability, despite what you may have seen in the movies or on television.

Making the distinction between a real ID and fake one is a skill found usually only in a select few, such as police officers or bartenders. But regardless of the profession or identification verification skills of the prospective swinger, the failure to ascertain the true and correct age of your dating partner is a sure way to run afoul of the law, and the swinging enthusiast should make it a priority to determine the actual age of his or her date.

While some may have decided to take their cues from sitcoms and slapstick shows on network television, it is advisable to forego any secret schemes regarding determining the swinger's dating partner's true age. Simply asking for identification isn't enough, and the prospective dating partner should be thoroughly quizzed and his or her age completely verified before engaging in dating activities.

Once this process is complete and dating traditions have been re-instated, it would be prudent for the swinger to consider the age verification and it's rate of success on prospective dating partners. If the swinger doesn't intend to incur harsh punishment from law enforcement, then he or she should perform the due diligence required to ascertain the age of his or her dating partner.
