SDC Validations: Tips, How-Tos, and More!
It's the main way we weed out fakes, so be sure to honor the validation protocol!
DO validate people you've met and enjoyed. A validation does NOT mean you slept with the people, it just means you met them in the flesh and are vouching for the fact that they're a real, live person.
DO seek validations for yourself. Mention that you're on SDC and working to build validations, and ask if they'd be interested in exchanging validations.
DO NOT accept validations from people you've never met in real life. They're likely fake accounts trying to get you to validate them and make them appear real.
DO NOT give validations to people you've only talked to virtually. They aren't officially 'real' until you can reach out and touch them.

SDC Validations
Here's more about the purpose of validations on SDC.com, the swinger dating app.
What validations are:
- An indicator that someone is a real, live person
What validations are NOT:
- A list of people you've been with
- A list of your friends or favorite people
How Validations Work:
- When you meet someone who is also on SDC, ask if they'd like to exchange validations
- Do NOT send the basic template validation provided by SDC - that's a useless throw-away validation
- Write something notable about the people you met (were they funny? great conversationalists? playful? did you feel good being around them? were they great hosts?)
- If someone you've never met sends you a validation, DO NOT ACCEPT IT (they've done the same to other people, so it will be obvious that you accepted an unethical validation)
- If someone you've chatted with online (DM's or video chat) asks for a validation, DO NOT VALIDATE (texting & video chatting online DO NOT COUNT and can be faked)
- If someone continues to press you for a validation, it's a HUGE red flag. They're either fake or they can't get real people they've met to validate them...so it's unlikely that people feel comfortable or safe with them...plus, they're violating YOUR boundaries by continuing to push you to break the rules that help all of us keep each other safe!
How to Give a Validation
Here's how to validate someone on SDC:
Pull up their profile.
Click or press Validate.
You'll see a template response come up; delete it.
Type your validation and click or press Send.
Once they see and approve it, the validation will appear on their wall.
When someone validates YOU, you'll get a DM notification, AND you'll see it on your SDC Feed.
OK, guys, let's all hold the validation process sacred to keep each other safe! None of us wants to deal with fakes!
Now, join us on SDC if you haven't already!
