Validations & Friends

January 07 2013

Hi. I have had this profile for three days now. I was curious about the correlation between validations and friends.....I notice some people have 200+ friends but no validations. Does this mean that they haven't met a single person or that validations are not being offered or accepted? I have a healthy zero/zero ratio lol (but will endeavour to change that soon...) Cheers Danny x

    ... the bed post :-) Don't think you'll have any problems collecting either. KK xx

    if they're a friend collector or not. Don't really get the point of that to be honest. I only add people I've met and a lot of people subscribe to that idea too so you can tell that they're genuine.- Posted from rhpmobile

    A validation is your word that the profile you are validation belongs to someone who is a) real and b) depending on what you write is a real hottie. I don't view them as notches at all.- Posted from rhpmobile

    Could also mean...that the someone who has 200+ friends and no validations is a fake. Or they could just be one of those over-eager types, you know, the type that adds a whole lot of people they don't know on Facebook.As for validations, some members prefer not to do them as it's a bit too kiss and tell (and do you honestly need the blatant praise?).Personally I do them for any single guys I meet and enjoy the company of, as single guys are dime a dozen on here and certain ones deserve the credibility :)

    I have met and like, not always people I have had sex with   I meet people through work so its a way of telling other people especially women that the guy is real and not a dip stick.   I only add friends who I have met in the flesh, have no interest in making pen friends   if i see a profile with hundred or so friends I give it a miss   just my thing, its cock in hand or no cock at all. Pretty simple really   and if people validate me, then I do not mind, call me what ever you like Just dont call me late to dinner   cheers   tr a friend with benifits

    we met with a guy from rhp, and since have become friends. He validated us then recently cancelled his subscription to rhp.As his profile began to disappear, so did his validation to us. I guess it is not that much of an important part of the profile to be used as a preference search.It has just gone back to saying we have not been validated yet. Our friend found this to be disappointing, as he felt he was leaving something from his time and success as a member behind.I guess in our case, we may miss the opportunity to receive an introduction from new members that use the help and advice in searching for people. We read that looking for people who are validated, and verified is the better option when we joined, and used it as suggested. not any more.Mado,Tara xx

    Absolutely agree with amuse_bouche and tuscanred! Can't add anything else to that! And, philosopherpoet, you should surely not have any problem changing your zero/zero ratio ;-)

    Quoting 'amuse_bouche' Personally I do them for any single guys I meet and enjoy the company of, as single guys are dime a dozen on here and certain ones deserve the credibility :)And that is essentially what they are there for, It is difficult being a single guy on here as it can feel like a huge pond and your only a little fish, so it's nice to get validations to prove your real and genuine.

    on several factors:a) you are a meet and great organiser - it is a fabulous way to market your event as it comes up in your "friends" news feeds as word gets out quicker as not every one checks the events pageb) some people need validations and "friends" to justify their existence on here. c) a lot of people on here have made many friends as they been here for 5 ++ years and have no validations.d) some people can chat with others on line and you do strike up a friendship ( cyber friends - is that not where we are?) On a personal note Validations do not mean to much. We all do not gell together.

    The rule I apply is that so long as a person has shown me their face pic, I will accept a friends request - it really means nothing to me on here except that if those people post in the forum, then the notification will appear in my news feed - I like that part I guess. It means I can then possibly get to know a little bit more about one of my 'Friends' on here.As for validations - for real life purpose only in my opinion.I've validated people from here and have not been validated back- I couldn't give a shit to be honest.Probably because I am secure with who I am and don't really feel a need to get justification/acceptance from a bunch of people I'll likely never meet - those who view my profile and see I have 'x' amount of friends and only 2 validations I mean and then make some of the assumptions that some of you have made in this topic.I long ago gave up giving a shit about High School popularity contests and I guess I put Red Hot Pie into perspective in my life - in other words - I use it for the purpose of making me feel better and that's about it to be honest. And that comes in many forms, don't get me wrong!Yeah, so friends lists mean pretty much nothing to me and validations are good but not always 100% reliable either. I'm also not about to hop into bed with someone just because another person who's a complete stranger to me left a validation saying that the person is genuine and sexy etc....Why would you stake your decisions based on a stranger's opinion?Hanna x
