It will help you recover your account just in case you lose it. Other people or admins can verify that's it's really you who owns it.

It means you are the gender you worn born as ie. 'verified' as being either male or female therefore either man or woman. 8-)

Being verified only satisfies the legal standing of this website's Terms of Service, wherein it states that we cannot use the photo of someone else and pretend that it is ourselves.

Where this otherwise becomes an issue is when someone grabs a photo of a 'hot' model from the internet (male or female) and then uses it as their username photo, but declares themselves to be that person in the photo.

That is why the Terms of Service says, if you are using an online photo of someone who is not actually YOU, then you have to make that fact known on your profile page to the effect of "My username photo is not actually me". Failure to do this is a violation of this website's ToS.

Verification of your username photo to confirm that it's actually YOU, prevents a litigation issue that SW would get involved with if the photo that you had used was stolen from a website that required permission for it's use. The verification process is therefore about protecting SW's butt from litigation.

If permission was not granted to use that photo from the internet, it implies that SW is harboring stolen Intellectual Property on this website and are permitting it's illegal use.

Intellectual Property can be a person's photo of themselves used in online advertising for example, which the advertisers themselves would have had to pay for it's use.
