Dating Profile Authenticity Check
Answer a few quick questions about a profile and get a rough idea of how genuine it looks.
1. How does the profile look?
Answer every question with a single tap. Where it says "Don't know", pick that option rather than guessing.
Heads-up: This is an automated estimate and may not be accurate. Use the result as a rough reference only — real people can have sparse profiles, and clever scammers can look polished. Always trust your instincts and verify before meeting anyone new.
How to tell if a dating profile is real
Not every profile on a dating app belongs to a real person looking for a genuine connection. Some are incomplete, some are rushed, and a few are outright fake. Our Profile Authenticity Check gives you a quick, structured way to assess how genuine a profile looks — based on the same signals that experienced daters learn to spot over time.
What the authenticity score actually measures
The check looks at 11 different signals: whether the username looks normal or random, if the age matches the photos, whether phone or email verification is shown, how many photos they have and whether they look natural, if they wrote an About Me or About My Match section (and how detailed it is), whether they have an app verification badge, if their social accounts are linked and look real, and whether they show a premium or membership badge. Each signal contributes to an overall score out of 100, with results grouped into four tiers: genuinely put-together (80+), mostly genuine (60-79), proceed with caution (40-59), and high risk (under 40).
Red flags even a high score can't catch
A polished profile isn't always a real one. Some scammers put real effort into their profiles — good photos, detailed bios, even verification badges. That's why the authenticity check is a reference tool, not a guarantee. Trust your instincts: if someone rushes to move off the app, asks for money or gift cards, dodges video calls, or their story keeps changing, those are red flags no score will catch.

Frequently asked questions
Is the authenticity check accurate?
It's an automated estimate based on 11 profile signals. It can give you a useful reference, but it's not foolproof. Real people can have sparse profiles, and fake profiles can be detailed. Always use your own judgment.
What if I don't know the answer to a question?
Every question includes a "Don't know" option. Pick that rather than guessing — the score adjusts accordingly and won't penalize you unfairly.
Does the tool store any of the information I enter?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is saved, uploaded, or shared. The check is completely private.
