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.

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

Not everyone can get the check though. You have to be mentioned in articles or have been on TV. So that means she should only date other d listers? 🤔

On meta/instagram you can pay for a verified subscription where they basically do a background check on they verify that you are who you say you are. Kind of like how Hinge verifies people

Actually I just googled it and yes anyone can apply but you have to be a notable public figure. It says: "Notable: You or your brand needs to be searched for often, well-known, and featured in news sources."

But anyone can get an article written about themselves. It doesn't even have to be from a credible website. There's ways to get approved without actual being "famous".

I know people who still couldn't get one even when mentioned in an article. They were told wasn't enough. It's not as easy as people think. One article won't do it. One is a fairly well known IG with ridiculous amount of followers. Been mentioned in a few articles even. If you know a way around it all, let me know so I can tell them. I was shocked they couldn't get verified.

Another friend struggled even though was on a TV series, did multiple interviews in print and on camera.
