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.
