The way I understand it, validations are the type of thing you do after you've spent some special time with someone. Personally, it's my business who I spend that time with and not something to be shouted from the hilltops for all to see. Maybe I'm a tad "old fashioned" in that respect, but I elect not to be validated or to validate others as a mark of respect for that person. Wayne x

I like validations as it means that a particular person has met someone who thought highly enough of that person to give them a validation. I know some people aren't aware of validations or think it's too hard to do, but it's very much appreciated by me :) You can be photo verified but I think validations show that you're also someone who will actually meet people. I'm not sure if it's an absolute MUST for singles but couples definitely find it useful. For me, sometimes it can be the deal maker and I'll choose to contact a guy/couple who has a validation over one who doesn't, especially if it's a spur of the moment hook-up.

I posted a question about validations some time ago and I know MrsP posted one before me - it doesn't seem to be an overly popular forum topic, but you've already got some great responses and I hope you get some more. The way I see it, I like seeing that people have been validated - it gives me even more reason to believe that they are genuine people and I don't read them for the heads up on how good they are in bed

Although we understand peoples hesitations, we prefer to meet RHP couples that have been validated by others we know. If we were to venture down the path of a threesome, that single would def need to be validated... I know that Gaz has said in the past that he reckons validations are a waste (as he reckons he could set up fake ones), but we look for validations with meaning, ie validated by couples that we know of or have heard of from our small circle of RHP friends (the longer we are on here the bigger our network gets). Loving RHP and the lifestyle.

Maybe a suggestion for RHP could be to allow validations to be "anonymous" so to speak. I would have no problem in validating someone if I was able to decide that my identity remain anonymous to the rest of you. Likewise I'd have no problem in having others validate me provided I as the profile owner could make their name anonymous. I do recognise the value of validations - in my professional world, I have over 50 "validations" on one of the business focused social media sites and I find that of excellent value in that capacity. However I really think as Trish said who happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom if those parties want it too... RHP - are you listening ? :-) Wayne x PS - have had a lovely time this week with someone I met on RHP... and looking forward to more... I'd be happy to validate her if my name was not going to be linked to her as she's a very private person (as am I).

I would consider using them if you were given the choice as to whether or not they were anonymous...and being able to see who it was that was posting the validation. Sure this is a adult dating swinging sex site but as some have said here there are people here who still like their privacy...me...well I just dont it to get out that I'm a dud root ;) Niceguy0068 aka Wayne...awwww....your post is a validation in itselfl...here's hoping she/he reads the forums :)

I wonder how much RHP themselves reads our ideas and suggestions and how they like the feedback we give them? ElleDee - yeah - hopefully she might... not sure though as she rarely appears in forums as a poster just how much she might read the forums and therefore see the comment. Oh well - I gave the comment without expecting anything so anything is a bonus :-) Wayne

Well it is nice to have a positive validation but i have an issue with the fact that some guys I have chatted with seem to be rather possessive to the point of asking me why I am online when we have a meeting arranged!!!!!!!! So while it can be flattering, it can also have a negative effect

Desserts - I hear you - but fact is that RHP online status shows people as online for a period after they logoff... therefore can't be trusted as accurate. As for possesive.. well - can't comment on that bit. Keep well :-) Wayne x

You have the choice of accepting or rejecting the validations people write about you, don't you? I don't see the problem with rejecting a validation if you prefer the discretion. T.

I'd have to agree with Nice Guy, some of the people I've met don't want validations or to even be added as a friend (hopefully not because I'm awful! lol) but because they (and I) prefer to keep the extent of their meetings private. I realise vaildations can be helpful in deciding who you meet but hopefully people also understand that some people prefer to remain fairly low key.

Quoting 'desserts'Well it is nice to have a positive validation but i have an issue with the fact that some guys I have chatted with seem to be rather possessive to the point of asking me why I am online when we have a meeting arranged!!!!!!!! So while it can be flattering, it can also have a negative effect I see why. You've been down to the cake shop again. LOL I have one. Validation that is, what did you think I meant? Yes we did meet, but nothing happened. Sigh... still looking

Lol Sonsie... it's great to see this thread has gotten some great responses, the best I've seen. I liked the point you made that you like seeing that people have been validated cos it gives you even more reason to believe that they are genuine people. I agree and would like to add that a validation could very simply say, 'this person turned up'. The thing most of us would be interested in hearing judging by the posts on the topic. Also agree with you about not reading them for the heads up (hehehe) on how good they are in bed... different strokes for different folks after all ;-)A point of interest is that validations can only be sent from profiles that have been verified. Another good reason to limit our search to verified profiles in our search for the genuine lol... The suggestion of anon validations sounds interesting if it is going to encourage more people to validate but I really like to read the senders profile as well. It'd be handy to have an option for either? Like Trixie said... you have the choice of accepting or rejecting validations written for you and I wanted to add that personalised validations have to go thru RHP approval first.Once accepted they are definitely permanent hehehe... I found that out the hard way by validating one of our old profiles, OOPsy lolol.Hugs Mrs P :-*
