Mirroring on Hinge
Every stated preference is matched, every value is shared, with suspiciously little natural friction or disagreement. On Hinge, where the dominant catfish pattern is prompt answers copy-pasted across near-identical duplicate profiles, this tactic is a common companion to that pattern. Hinge has no native video-call feature, so testing for this tactic usually means proposing a call on a separate app instead.
