Online dating feels like a guessing game.
Is this hot Saudi prince real, or are they going to take your kidney? Is this model-esque blonde truly named Debra and lives 13 minutes from you, or is she an old man with a long Gandalf beard cosplaying as someone else?
It’s a constant emotional gamble. You’re putting yourself out there, hoping to meet someone who gets you. But instead, you're stuck wondering if they are who they say they are.
That’s the reality on most dating apps today—endless swiping, vague profiles, and catfish-level fakes that make you feel more skeptical than hopeful.
Let’s fix that.
The Problem: Too Many Fakes, Too Much Time Wasted
Catfishing isn’t just an episode on MTV. It happens all the time—and not just to the “gullible.” Fake profiles are everywhere, often created to scam, spam, or just play with people’s emotions.
You deserve better.
You deserve to match with real people who are looking for the same kind of connection. That’s why verification isn’t optional anymore– it’s a hard must.
What Does a Catfish-Free App Look Like?
Most dating apps aren't designed to protect you. But the good ones are changing the game. Look for these built-in features:
Photo Verification
This is not just about “uploading a selfie,” but also about AI and human-verified images that prove this person is real. Uploading a government-approved ID is a good way to vet out catfishes.
In-App Video Chat
This feature is constantly overlooked and underconsidered. Although it can feel annoying to message in-app instead of directly to your phone's inbox, it’s much safer. No phone numbers. No sketchy “let’s move to WhatsApp” vibes. You can call or video chat within the app when you're ready.
Why Verification Really Matters
Beyond peace of mind, verification does a few powerful things:
- ✅ Cuts out the BS so you’re not wasting energy on fake matches
- ✅ Builds trust before the first date even happens
- ✅ Creates safer environments for everyone, no matter your gender or experience level
Dating is already hard enough, if there are features that improve the user experience, it’s worth going where those are considered and implemented– like InTimid!
