Validation (dating)


'''Validation''' is a [[dating]] theme wherein the end-goal is not a [[relationship]], but rather to have one's ego stroked or to obtain reassurance of one's own dating value. This is partially because dating has in a sense become somewhat of a [[social status]] issue. It is the feeling a person proves when he or she sees that other people recognize him or her as good enough. It is often argued that [[women]] in order to seek validation from [[men]], usually post alluring pictures on [[social media]].
