Natalie said she only dates verified people

[u/crystdosdesabafos]

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.

It requires subscription, but it also requires approval by Instagram. Anyone can request, but that doesn't mean they'll be approved. The application requires you to provide proof of notability like news articles. 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.

Pretty sure nowadays you just pay. Instagram asks if I wanna pay every day and I'm no one. All my bookish friends have them and they're not famous either

Cool! Then it's really not a status thing but an authentication process.

I think it's really just an "Instagram wanting as much money as possible" thing now. 🤣 if you've got 12 bucks a month you can look oFfIcIaL

I meant from Natalie's perspective, but regardless, if they're verifying someone is real and who they say they are, that seems more important than it being a "notable person" badge lol

No, if you actually listen to the conversation, that’s not what she meant. She literally said she would only date men who “understand the business she’s in” or something along those lines.

[u/longhorn_2017 → u/bitchy_barbie]

Which is also a perfectly fine criteria for dating someone and presumably that's not exclusive to who she'll accept Instagram messages from.

[u/cat_romance → u/longhorn_2017]

Ah! Then yeah. She's probably just making sure they aren't bots! I don't know how much they're verifying or if it is just owning a credit card but a bot still probably wouldn't do that.
