I'm not verified because I can't be bothered. The only time it has bothered me was when I couldn't write someone a validation as a friend (come on mods I've paid enough for you to know who I am). I've never even looked if a profile has been verified or not. The people who I talk to and whom I have met know I'm a real person. That's all that's important IMO.

Then there's no reason not to verify IMO. I look for it.

Being verified and validated goes a long way in proving you are real an says a lot about your willingness to meet. I don't buy the can't be bothered story as it only takes a minute or so and all you need is a pen paper and a camera (everyone has one of those these days). In my experience if a profile isn't verified, validated and is not a mating member chances are when it comes to meeting you will get a very lame excuse as to why it won't be happening, an that is I you are lucky. So go ahead and verify if you are real, saves everyone including yourselves a lot of trouble.

This is because as a couple you need to submit a photo together and whilst they state the photo won't be used, my hubby just won't do it lol....... So, we may loose a few but I think oh well! As for validations, I know some don't like them, however I do prefer seeing them, or better still when another RHP person/couple knows them, I can contact them directly (if I know them as well).

Yeah i agree it says alot tbh about people, yes it takes just a minute to do it and yes everyone these days has a camera built into their phone and well i'm pretty sure writing materials have been around for quite some time... Don't care about the validations as such, since those can be fudged / faked as well by anyone creating a second account and just validating themselves ( to name a way they do it... Which is just wrong... But hey the fakers will do their best to scam some dirty pictures out of you.. Click Block cya thanks for wasting your time lmao! Verification is however something you cannot fake and one of the only ways other then a meeting with the person face to face to know they are who they say they really are. Thanks RHP for being vigilant in this regard. PS couples should definitely be on the same page and both be willing to verify they are what they say just like everyone else IMHO.. I mean if the couple is willing to play together why shouldn't they verify together ?

Shortly after I joined when I was accused of being another member's alter ego. I don't really check if others are though, as I suspect there are not that many fake male profiles, and the fake couples (read: men pretending to be) are a dead giveaway early on.

Everyone is time poor nowadays. Wasting time weeding through the pretenders really grinds my gears.Guys pretending to be couples - last minute Oops - Mrs can't make it! No wonder so many "couples" specify single girls only!And what's with guys pretending to be ladies? Are they just getting their jollies pissing other guys off?Or are they trying to broaden their target by attracting bi girls as well? Surely that can't work, can it?I don't look specifically for verified / validated profiles, but I pay more attention to the ones that are. Rocky

You have to be verified in order to validate, as has been mentioned. So it's a good indicator of genuine too :) Takes two minutes to verify. Definitely makes me less suspicious of a profile especially if they look almost too good to be true :p I verified so people wouldnt be suspicious that I wasn't genuine. Worth it. - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'PartyOrg' Being verified and validated goes a long way in proving you are real an says a lot about your willingness to meet. I don't buy the can't be bothered story as it only takes a minute or so and all you need is a pen paper and a camera (everyone has one of those these days).

So go ahead and verify if you are real, saves everyone including yourselves a lot of trouble. I agree with the 'Verified' comments you make... and for the obvious reasons. It s nice to know that a person is able to either use their Facebook Acct (which is kept private by the Mods) and if not a phone number which you only need have up for as long as it takes to be Verified (and can only seen by the highest paid classification of Member, hence, almost certainly genuine. But 'Validation' depends on a comment by someone you have met and is willing to make a recommendation or (I'm not sure, but maybe a negative review???). Some of us haven't met someone as yet, and some have met and haven't been given a 'review', for whatever reason... So I think it's a bit much to assume that people not 'Validated' are going to give "lame excuses as to why it won't be happening". I'm willing to meet anyone (just for the purpose of showing my photo License) so we can give each other a validation. As I've said on another Thread in these Forums, there are a number of men who find it difficult, for whatever reason, to get approached or even get responses from women... So they have little chance of getting 'Validation' if they can't meet anyone.

I've been involved in websites, (Not Dating ones), that have needed to verify that people registering are, in fact, who they are... I know that some will consider it a 'Privacy Issue', but I have no problem uploading a copy of my License or other Govt issed Photo ID that proves I am me... It would certainly make the 'Fake Profile' sickos think about living their fantasies elsewhere. All RHP would need to do is legally expose themselves to having to keep the relevant document safe or undertake to destroy it after serving it's purpose... JUST a suggestion form someone with nothing to hide... (Although I do understand the expectations of 'Privacy' that some members may have, without specific reason... and rightly so).

Quoting 'Meander' Shortly after I joined when I was accused of being another member's alter ego. I'm sorry for your having to go through that... I hope it was resolved quickly and those 'accusing' where left 'Redfaced'... (FYI... Another lovely profile photo... I'm beginning to lose track ... LOL.

Dont have a verified account but doesnt bother me. I have met plenty of people now from the recent meet and greet. Not even sure you can do it from a phone to be honest as I dont use my lap top any more and havent done so for a long time. - Posted from rhpmobile

I'm not validated or verified but those who I've met, those who have enjoyed sexy time or not sexy time know that I exist and my intentions are clear. Validation and verification requirements prove to me that your vetting process is shit. - Posted from rhpmobile

Validation and verification requirements prove to me that your vetting process is shit. - Posted from rhpmobile I don't see it at 'shit'. It may not be a 'fool-proof' method of ascertaining that a person is genuinely who they say they are... But it is something, at least. If you have a Facebook Account, it takes no time at all for them to have a reference to direct authorities to, if there is trouble... And the phone number, again, is another means to trace someone who is showing signs of not being who they say... But, after all is said and done, it is up to members themselves to make sure they take the appropriate precautions when they venture to meet someone... i.e. Having someone call you soon into the meeting... Making sure people know where you are... Meeting in Daylight, in public... Not getting into someone's car or going to someone's home... Leaving the 'tying up' and handcuffs, till you are sure after a few meetings... And so many others...

with unverified. I don't think being verified means they are more prepared to meet. - Posted from rhpmobile

I don't see the need. As for time wasters. I get sick of people complaining about that. That's just the way it goes. I mainly come on here to read the forums - Posted from rhpmobile

We verified our account. It's quick and ensures others that we are who we are in our gallery. We definitely look for it in those we are looking to set up a meet with. We only dedicate 1 or 2 nights per week to this. If we have two potential couples (where we feel an equal connection) and one is verified and the other is not, we will set up the night with the verified couple every time. As we are verified, we feel it is also important for us to validate any couples we meet. Regardless of how our meeting went, if you are who you portrayed via your profile, we will validate you. We don't understand why others would not take the time to do either of these. If everyone did this, the faker accounts would die a slow death in solitude.

I have had several instances now where I have spent time messaging ladies that have face photos, to find out they are fake. (could have been some guy from Africa all I know). It is easy to create a fake profile with pictures. You therefore can not confirm or verify who you are talking to or messaging unless you actually meet them, and being in a rural area that can mean driving a long distance. So verification is a big help in preventing a lot of wasted time. (it is ok if you have an established network or friends; however, not so helpful when looking to meet new friends). And it only takes 5-minutes.

It is easy to create a fake profile with pictures. RHP want to see a pic of your face (while holding up a piece of paper with a code) to verify you are actually a woman or man. I'm not sure they ask to compare it to a face pic you already have up, but it doesn't matter because you can always change your pics afterwards anyway.

So honestly iim really tired arm and my brain isn't processing quite well. My question is, CAN you validate someone and NOT be on their friends list for whatever reason? Is that a thing? And why? Also can u delete these validation or are they stuck forever? Apologies if stupid question. Am extremely new :)

I really just don't understand what they are. Some seem to be from friends and some from sexual encounters. Is it an etiquette thing?

Pennlover: First thing one has to be verified member himself/herself to give anyone else a validation. But one can still get validations even if he/she not verified. No u don't have to be friend for that reason, only a good sexual encounter can lead to a validation. You are always asked when someone post a validation for you. So if u dont want it, you can simply not aporove it and that way it wont be there at all. Hope this helps in understanding the validation process. xx - Posted from rhpmobile
