Questions
What are the biggest red flags on a dating profile?
Photos that appear under another name, links to outside "verification" sites, any talk of money or investing, and repeated refusal to video call. Any one of these is enough to stop and verify.
Is one red flag enough to unmatch?
Not always. Thin bios and few photos are common on real profiles. The checklist weighs signals so that minor ones only matter in combination, while serious ones count on their own.
Why are there green flags?
Because verification works both ways. A live video call and a matching public profile with years of history are strong evidence someone is real, and they lower the score.
