DAE compare screenshotting a profile vs reading it out loud? The out loud test caught 4 fake dating profiles for me
Honestly I got tired of matching with profiles that felt off, so I tried two things side by side for about 3 weeks on Hinge and Bumble. First I just screenshotted every profile I liked and looked at the pics later, and that caught almost nothing. Then I switched to reading the whole bio out loud to myself before swiping, and it was night and day. Four profiles in that stretch had the same weird thing where the bio flowed fine on screen but sounded like a brochure when spoken, stuff like 'I value deep connections and meaningful adventures.' One profile in Chicago had perfect grammar but not a single specific detail, no neighborhood, no job, no hobby name. The screenshot method never showed me that because my eyes just skim the text. Reading it out loud forces me to hear if a real person would ever say those words to a friend. Has anyone else tried the read aloud thing, or do you have a better filter for the bios that look human but feel copied?
