What does “recent” mean to you?

Recent-.
having happened, begun, or been done not long ago or not long before; belonging to a past period of time comparatively close to the present.

I can’t be the only one... I don’t mean to be rude but I get an excessive amount of emails asking for more info even after my profile clearly states I need RECENT refs or no response.

What does recent mean to you?

A week,a month or even a year?

To me,recent means at LEAST in the last month or two.

I would probably say if someone had a new addition within the last 3-4 months, that is recent. Some guys like to repeat, so they might not have an addition in the last 30 days.

In this arena where once reviewed there is not a ongoing network renewal, I would say 2 months is too short. A person may have visited once a day but the review is still 6 months old. Only people that are constantly seeing new individuals would be able to satisfy a 1-3 month term limit.

So should we say 6 months is fair game for “recent” as long as they have,say 2-3 other refs to back that one?

I might be worried if the guy hadn't seen anyone new in 6 months, but wouldn't be concerned if nothing new in 3, as long as he has a 'history' of seeing people. So someone who only has 1 network addition 5 or 6 months ago, I might question that....

IMHO if every lady on HX required "recent" to be within the last 30 days it would kill the majority of your business. You would eliminate any of us who like to repeat if we find a lady we have connected with. 90 days should be recent enough but a strong network of trusted girls is the best indication that someone is safe enough to see.

I would think each individual ought to be given there own assessment. If they only have 3 ratings and the last one from a couple years ago then maybe cause for a little more concern. But if someone has say 50+ but the last one was last year maybe it would be a little more forgiving.

I think that’s true,every girl is different when it comes to screening and checking references I just prefer to be safe than sorry 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sometimes I don’t really care about networks but then again the networks wouldn’t be there if they were good for nothing,right?

You should just put what your definition is in your profile or classified so people dont have to ask or send you messages which frustrate you.

No disrespect intended but.. until yesterday your own network barely met the "2 to 3 month" rule so what you be squawking about?...

Within 6 months is reasonable and the references have accounts with current standing. Any red should be analyzed .

The bottom line , your screening criteria is for your tolerance / risk vs reward analysis. It should be a red flag if someone does not respect your rules even before you meet them.

Instead of bargaining with you they should be asking what they can provide to make you comfortable. If they are unwilling to try , than they should move on and thank you for responding.

I would caution that a well worded reply back to them (canned response) would go a long way in avoiding a flurry of incensed and/or Butt Hurt PMs.

Clearly explain your requirements to even consider meeting someone new and end it with a firm statement that it is Not negotiable or up for further discussion.

I agree that a brief summary of your requirements in your profile may be helpful. That assumes they will get past the pics and actually read the profile

I do not know if I have "Recent" network. Seems I prefer most often to repeat a positive known then visit unknown unless the pictures and reviews really draw me in.

If all you want is those that have recent all the time then don't expect second visits.

recent is in the last year.

What's the point in wanting to see that someone has had new network in the past 2 months?

I honestly have 2-3 regulars that I go to regularly, and regular to me is once a month. I've been seeing them for years. It's rare I see someone new.

If I'm dating someone seriously, I won't be on here. That could last for several months easy, a year even.

Mine is in the last 3 months , with that person being active as well.
If it was 3 months ago same day of rating and same day the person was active that is fishy to me,

It depends on what you are comfortable with. For me giving out info to an inquiring member around 6 months.
As to guys, Networks ebb and flow with regulars and travel. For experienced ladies I would think it could be around a year or so but 6 months should feel comfortable if more than a handful of references...
