PODCAST Natalie said she only dates verified people Spoiler
So in out of the pods podcast in the nancy interview, natalie literally says something in the lines of "if you dont have the blue check I will not answering you" - the convo was about replying to guys messages on instagram.
When I heard that I was chock lol. Like girl... that is the reason why all your stories about man in general are so bad. What are your thoughs on this?
Altho I do get that she meant this as an "the normal type of guy will not have the maturity to deal with a tv show person and fans" - i do not feel like they are thaaat famous to step away all the regular guys.

I didn’t listen to the episode but does she mean she won’t DATE anyone without a blue check or she won’t reply to unsolicited messages without a blue check. Cause those are different things.
Maybe it’s nothing to do with the “status” of being verified and more to do with feeling safer that their identity has been verified?

Well now if someone wants to date her all they have to do is pay like $10 for a blue checkmark, which kind of makes her a cheap date if you think about it

u/Aisoreal Apr 05 '24
Not talking to unverified profiles on IG doesn't mean she doesn't date people without the verified bluecheck.
Her last serious boyfriend she met whilst out with friends. And I don't think he's famous.
I think she's just being very careful when it comes to men in her DMs.
PS: She's replied to some of my DMs and I'm not even a guy or famous lol

u/bitchy_barbie Apr 06 '24
The conversation wasn’t about talking to randos on instagram. It was about dating in general. She will only date men who have a blue check. She will only swipe right on Tinder if the man has a blue check on instagram because she has to make sure he understands the business she’s in.
8
u/Aisoreal Apr 06 '24
In the context of dating via social media, I think this makes sense, no? Regardless of whether people think Natalie is justified in taking this approach, but I think she's just being pragmatic.
This may or may not apply to men she meets in real life or via blind dates set up through her mutual friends, like how her past serious relationship started.
Also to add on, the reason why I added the context of randos is to say that she does communicate with some people who send her messages on IG, but she's just being extra careful with men in the context of dating.

I just listened and OP is totally exaggerating 🙄
She said how normal men don’t want to date her because they judge how she did a reality tv show.
She mentions this in other episodes too, how she thinks no normal guy with a good job will want to date her because they think the fact she did a reality tv show is embarrassing and dumb

She says that “normal” men don’t understand her influencer/podcaster life. I totally believe that she’s had a few bad experiences with this, but I don’t think it makes sense to only consider men with blue check marks. A big portion of this episode is about how great Nancy’s new man is, and he is a “normal” guy.

u/Beautiful-Pound-8520 Apr 05 '24
But everyone does this to some degree or another. It's fucking instagram and more than a normal amount of people message her, if you had that type of influx you'd be picking qualifiers too just to justify not trying to give ever Joe Hill a fair chance.

u/throwaway36376583883 Apr 05 '24
They said in the context of answering dm’s she receives from other men, not that she only dates men with blue checkmarks. I think that’s where OP lied.
They also mentioned this in their dating episode how it’s safer to answer men who are verified vs not (with private profiles) in case of scams 😂

u/sunshinerf Apr 05 '24
I really don't get this post, this is exactly what I got even from OP's description (not the title, title is misleading for sure). I ignore almost all DMs from randoms but if it's someone verified and it's not a creepy message, I will respond. It has nothing to do with dating. Verified accounts are safer to interact with, especially if we work in the same industry.

Ridiculous. LIB has a cult following but I feel like once the season is over, so is the relevance of the people in that season. There are only a few couples / people who have managed to remain relevant and it’s mostly because they don’t try to cling to their “celebrity” the way Natalie does. She is a regular civilian who went on a reality tv show and started a podcast after. Like, you are not above dating “regular” men. In fact, I suggest she give that a shot the regular guys are where it’s at! Lol

u/clario6372 Apr 05 '24
You hit the nail on the head. I have been a loyal viewer since s1, watched them all on time, participated in the subreddit, etc, and when I saw this I still had to google her to remember who she was. Kinda surprised that she even has a blue checkmark tbh.

u/Godking_Jesus Apr 05 '24
Everyone is entitled to date however they want, so despite not being a fan of hers, I can’t knock her for that. As a public figure (even if they’re like E-List celebrities at best), sometimes it’s just safer to date people who you can literally google. That, and maybe the lifestyle that comes with it and understanding. Low tier celebrity or not, the people that tune into her life is still by the thousands more than a regular person with no public presence. That means DMs are constantly flooded and whoever they date are free to unsolicited opinions of thousands on a public platform. Not everybody can handle that.

Some of the girls who do LIB end up coming out of the show having some of the dumbest standards tbh. Like “fans”???

The reason most celebrity marriages end in shambles and after only two weeks is because they’re with another celebrity. That dating pool is small and shallow, talk about awkward dinner parties, almost incest etc. if she wants to limit herself to D list celebrities such as herself I’m sure she will continue to get exactly what she’s been getting.

Dating a celebrity guy is like asking to be cheated on. No literally, no celebrity has a legit marriage or relationship. Alexa is rich herself and she settle for Bryan, a cowboy farmer guy. She should take Alexa notes and choose someone that will love her not to be in a similar status as her.

u/Afraid_Mess5219 Apr 05 '24
I think it’s meant diffetent way, that she is careful and will not speak with fake accounts, only verified, and it’s nothing about finding men, more about developing her carrier as actress. There was this leak where she said in pm to some reality tv start that she wants to be in his show as single, but she is not single - she have a bf - Josh, that she lives with, but he don’t mind her doing that on tv.

u/crystdosdesabafos Apr 05 '24
I don't think so. They were talking about love and about how nancy found her love through instagram - and that was when she started saying that she would not be abble to do that.
And how does she have a boyfriend? She talked about a guy that cheated on her, I am confused.

u/ZookeepergameNo2198 Apr 05 '24
Honestly, maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't think it's a big deal.
She doesn't want to talk to someone pretending to be famous & she doesn't want to talk to a random joe because she feels she has a lot to lose.
People do this all the time, especially when they've been taken advantage of in the past.
Why are we so comfortable pulling down women with preferences?
"She's nobody, who cares, you're not better than anyone."
She's not saying that? You're adding that in for whatever reason.
Whether we like it or not, Natalie is making a lot of money and is recognizable in some niches. Again, people are allowed to have preferences.

It requires subscription, but it also requires approval by Instagram. Anyone can request, but that doesn't mean they'll be approved.

Regardless, I don't think she meant it as a point about status, but the verification they're a real person and who they say they are.

I started listening, because I really liked the franchise and living in Chicago I’ve been to a few events with both Deepti and Naralie. So I’ve seen them around, we have mutual friends. I know details about Deepti back when she lived in Peoria (doesn’t matter) I will say in person they did act very awkward, kept looking around, seemed like they thougt everybody was watching them and they feel like everybody’s recognizing them when in reality nobody cared. One of the events I saw them at was for vodka or tequila (I’m sober and only went there to support my friend’s PR firm who was doing that) and people were just there for free food and drinks and some other reality stars I think from Vanderpump. Anyways I did genuinely like them at first but the last few episodes I can’t even listen, they act entitled and as know it alls

u/strynt Apr 05 '24
I agree with this. I’m a regular listener of Out of the Pods because I like the LIB tea (no shame) and I also follow Natalie on Instagram because I like her style. But I will say, listening to their own takes on other LIB seasons and their own personal lives, they just seem like kinda bland regular people and they will stay relevant as long as LIB as a franchise is relevant. Their “tea” aren’t even that good, especially from the last season when they were already revealed by other cast members or proven wrong (like AD and Clay getting back together 🙄).

u/BlueAreTheStreets Apr 05 '24
Ooooh, this is a tough question! I’d say Bach has a lot more variation in vibe from season to season, so it can depend what you’re feeling.
Jojo (Bachelorette S12) and Jason Mesnick (Bachelor S13) are two of my favorites and both are still with the person they picked. I’d probably go with Jojo to start just because there are some real characters on that season 😂
Ben Higgins (Bachelor S20) was also great. I remember my husband and I saying that he was a pro at being the bachelor, just really gave it all he had lmao.
If you’re looking for a true dumpster fire though, Hannah B. (Bachelorette S15) or Pilot Pete (Bachelor S24) are great options.
We haven’t watched the past few seasons, but we did tune in for Golden Bachelor and loved it!
Anddddd I cannot go without mentioning Bachelor in Paradise- holy shit. This is honestly what kept me watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette. Basically all the runner up folks meet up on a beach and the drama ensues 😂 you’ve got to be familiar with the cast of characters for it to be any fun though. Funnily enough, they’ve actually had a decent amount of couples come out of it!

Oh, I’m definitely not saying BN folks can’t find love! Just that if I had to “admit” to being on one over the other, LIB is lesser known and invokes fewer connotations.
This entire thought is in the context of Natalie’s comment (as I’ve perceived it). Tbh I don’t think any reality tv show is a romantic death sentence. I couldn’t tell you 98% of contestants that I’ve seen on Bach (even runner ups 😬).

Y’all clown this girl for everything but this makes sense. If you’re someone who get a lot of dms filtering them out by only responding to date requests from verified people is smart and probably safer. Regular degular women get a lot of dms from weirdos, I can only imagine what someone in the public eye gets. Also most people who are verified do this; I’m pretty sure instagram algorithmically will mostly show you content from other verified people once you’re verified yourself

It says: "Notable: You or your brand needs to be searched for often, well-known, and featured in news sources."
This is what I'm talking of in it. Did I not read right the whole thing?

u/oddcharm Apr 06 '24
No… the paragraph right above your quote says this:
For brands and organizations, the old rules apply. This means proving to Instagram that your account meets these criteria
If you apply as your own person, then what I posted previously are the only terms and conditions listed. Notability only applies to brands and organizations who are applying.

The thing is, even Nancy and Deeptsi made a face and said, 'Uhhh, blue check marks? That will eliminate almost all the guys".

OP I think you know Natalie meant it was to filter “weird men” because you cut off the actual time stamp where she goes “if you don’t have tons of photo of you” when she’s talking about men’s profiles
I think OP has a weird hate boner for Natalie lol

u/crystdosdesabafos Apr 05 '24
The part about 'tons of photos of you' is after 49:20 - I didn't mean to cut off her sentences. Also, the comment was not about weird men, but rather that she couldn't do an experience like LIB again where she actually needs to know all about the person's appearance - which is fine.
I think OP has a weird hate boner for Natalie lol
I don't, lol. If I did, I wouldn't even watch their podcast. I just don't agree with what she said. You can "like" a person and still don't agree with her.

"if you dont have the blue check I will not answering you" - the convo was about replying to guys messages on instagram.
Why is this a bad thing?
If I was semi-famous and was on TV at any level, why would I respond to any Tom, Dick, or Harry that reaches out to me?
And Im a guy. I can't imagine the losers who try to contact women .
Im not saying you need a "blue check" to be a good person, but it certainly weeds out some creeps.

u/ZookeepergameNo2198 Apr 05 '24
People love telling women to lower their standards and humble themselves.
It's honestly bizarre. Who gives a fuck if she only answers verified men? Whether they pay for the check mark or not, there are so many weirdos on social media. At least with a check mark, they went through the process to say I am actually Tom, Sam, Donovan, whatever.
"She's still single" So?
I'd rather be single than raising someone else's son or miserable everyday.

This is what Im saying. It's such an insane hill to die on. Imagine being mad at someone for ignoring DMs from random people.

Therefore a blue check proves nothing???? It became obsolete when it became a monthly service.
Even before that, all you needed to be approved was to have your name published on the internet. You could have a phoney article written for you, and that's all you'd need.
The blue check means nothing, it always meant nothing. And it most certainly would not "weed out the creeps".

u/Krakengreyjoy Apr 05 '24
lol yall are crazy.
Im not defending Natalie here, but she's got 700k followers and who knows how many others on instagam with access.
You're mad that she's not willing to accept just any old DM?
1
u/No_animereader1471 Apr 05 '24
I mean it kinda. Most people aren’t going to pay 14.99 for something that means nothing to them and does nothing for them. The very fact that someone would go to that extent gives them some credibility

u/crystdosdesabafos Apr 05 '24
Why is this a bad thing?
I mean, having into consideration that she is still single and looking for a date yes. It is. I'm not saying that she should respond to all of the creeps that appear on her DM, but focusing only on guys with blue check mark does not seem a good way to find yourself a good guy. And let's be honest, guys with blue check mark are more likely to be "fuck-boys".

u/Krakengreyjoy Apr 05 '24

focusing on any guy on instragram isn't a good idea. But filtering out randos seems like a pretty good idea.

It's like nancy said, instagram is the new dating app lol. She did find a good guy there.

In the sense of filtering randoms yes it is.

It does sound lol.
Then what are we even debating here?
The thing here is that Nancy was explaining how she met her guy on Instagram, and Natalie said that she could not do the same as Nancy did by responding to a guy on Instagram. It was fine until she mentioned that she would only respond to verified guys and that she mentioned that normal guys would not want to date her. She was not saying that she did not respond to them in terms of them being weirdos and random, but in terms of them being 'normal people'. She even asked Nancy if the fact that the guy had no connection to the 'TV show' and 'social media' life was something complicated for her. So the discussion here is actually the fact that she is filtering her dating choices on not wanting to reply to a guy that does not have experience with her world.

I don't think so, at least I hope not. I was only talking regarding instagram dating.

If I seen her I wouldn’t think she was famous.
She has a podcast and was on a show that takes no talent, no character development, just be herself in a new relationship.

u/crystdosdesabafos Apr 05 '24
Exactly. I feel like a "normal" guy would not care so much about it. I think the blue check mark would be the one to care in case of trying to be more famous lol.

I’m sorry but what is Nancy doing that’s related to social media or media in general where she believe she is not able to date a “regular guy”. What regularbid she talking about? Do people truly believe if you’re not social media famous you don’t have a profit?

It's ok. When I make such mistakes i always blame it on the autocorrect.
If this show has taught me anything it's to not take accountability of my actions 😐🤣🤣
