Dating apps require a lot of time to get results. On Tinder<\/a>, you need to swipe right or left, review profiles, and text with matches you\u2019re interested in. After doing all of those things, it can be disappointing to discover that a match you want to meet in person isn\u2019t human and, worse, are Tinder bots.<\/p>\n

\u201cBots\u201d<\/a> are no longer rare to encounter. Called \u201cinternet robots, \u201cweb robots,\u201d or solely \u201cbots,\u201d they are various software applications which can follow pre-programmed scripts. Their specialty is repetitive, simplistic tasks. While most of us wouldn\u2019t consider conversation simplistic, bots are created to \u2018communicate\u2019 under the appearance of being \u2018real\u2019 people or used as web crawlers.<\/p>\n

The use of bots has produced good and bad results, depending on who you are. While making use of \u201cbotting” has given some social media influencers<\/a> a boost in their fan base and led to spokesperson opportunities, in the world of dating, bots can be confusing, annoying, and even break hearts.<\/p>\n

So, What Is a Dater to Do?<\/h2>\n

The dilemma of the modern age.\u2028\u2028 If bots look and sound human and write human things, how can users tell the difference between actual Tinder Matches<\/a> and Bots? By following our tips<\/a> below!<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-1-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

Tip #1: You Don\u2019t Want What They\u2019re Selling<\/h2>\n

A \u2018bot\u2019 will always appear to have connections or friends<\/a> who have friends. This means that they might suggest another site, introduce you to a game, or even refer you to another dating sites<\/a> or pornographic material. Either way, if someone you\u2019ve just begun talking to and haven\u2019t met in person starts referring you to an external site or business<\/a>, put up your radar that they may be a bot.<\/p>\n

Because people go to Tinder to date<\/a>, most aren\u2019t expecting that \u2018friendly\u2019 suggestions are a bot marketing to them. Also, never give credit card information<\/a> or money to another \u201cdater\u201d or their advice on Tinder. Even if a Tinder user comes up with a convincing reason, links to paid materials are usually from Bots!<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-2-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

Tip #2: Something Doesn\u2019t Add Up<\/h2>\n

As technology gets more advanced, so do bots! As complex bots communicate with daters, their conversation alone may not be a dead give away<\/a> even to savvy daters! Due to the multitude of discussions and personalities encountered online<\/a>, a bot can add to the mix and seem like a real person. Throw in a profile with photos<\/a> and most daters won\u2019t know the difference.<\/p>\n

One example of this is on the \u201cGirls Who Date Computers\u201d Tumblr blog<\/a>. The Tumblr<\/a> account states that it has been created to test out Alan Turing\u2019s 1950\u2019s suggestion of the Turing Effect (or the theory that artificial intelligence, or machines, can impersonate humans without being perceptible) the current experiment highlights the way that bots can notice phrasing, respond in like, ask open-ended questions and make small talk. If a bot is confused, it may carry on, seemingly oblivious, change the subject, or answer with a basic answer like, \u201cGreat\u201d or \u201cCool.\u201d More technically advanced bots can even answer \u201cWhat?\u201d when they aren\u2019t sure what a dater is saying, which further tricks the person on the other side<\/a> into believing a bot is a real person!<\/p>\n

Is there any way to protect<\/a> yourself?<\/p>\n

Yes!<\/p>\n

For instance, if you talk about something obscure or specific and a user doesn\u2019t answer any of the questions or acknowledge the information<\/a> you gave, you may be speaking to a bot. If the conversation between you and another user seems to go in circles or be repeatedly nonspecific, trust your intuition and \u2018test\u2019 them with detailed questions.<\/p>\n

One frequently used trick is to reply with a typo, such as \u201cfiutiuyoiyiou.\u201d Believe it or not, Bots will often not pick up on the odd typo and ask you about it (example: \u201cTell me more about fiutiuyoiyiou\u201d) as if it were real communication at least according to Harvard educated Robert Epstein.<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-3-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

TIP #3: MODEL, WITHOUT BEING A MODEL<\/h2>\n

This one can be tricky. Maybe your Tinder<\/a> Match is naturally attractive and great at Instagram<\/a> photos and filters, so it is not to say that EVERY user with model quality photos is a bot! However, if something about your conversation feels artificial AND the photographs look overly polished, like something you\u2019d find in a magazine or Google images<\/a>, try and exchange personal information or meet before becoming too invested.<\/p>\n
