Requesting an Unscripted Photo to Test Authenticity on Tinder
Ask for a simple, specific, unscripted photo (a particular pose, a handwritten word) and track how it's handled. On Tinder, where the dominant catfish pattern is stolen influencer/model photo sets run across dozens of duplicate profiles, this applies directly: A specific, of-the-moment photo request is hard for a stolen or synthetic set to satisfy — persistent deferral is as informative as refusing video.
Steps
- 01
Request something specific and hard to substitute from an existing photo set.
- 02
Give a reasonable window, then notice whether the response is a new photo, an excuse, or an old photo repeated.
- 03
Treat repeated deferral of this specific request the same way as a refused video call.
