So You Want the Blue Tick of Tinder Royalty? A Guide for the Discerning Dater
Ah, the blue tick. The holy grail of Tinder. It's the difference between swiping right on your soulmate and swiping right on a catfish who claims they're a millionaire astronaut (though, come on, who wouldn't swipe right on that?). But fear not, lovelorn adventurer, for this guide will illuminate the path to verification glory.

First things first, why even bother?
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.![]()
Well, let's face it, a blue tick is the Tinder equivalent of a fancy sports car. It screams, "Look at me, I'm legit and fabulous!" It might not guarantee matches, but it definitely puts you in the express lane of credibility. No more awkward "Are those photos REALLY you?" messages. You'll be swiping with the confidence of a celebrity, minus the restraining orders (hopefully).

But how does one acquire this elusive blue checkmark, you ask?
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.![]()
Tinder, in its infinite wisdom, has bestowed upon us two verification methods, each with its own quirks:
-
The Selfie Shuffle: This option involves contorting your face into a series of bizarre expressions, like you're auditioning for a silent film remake. Tinder's fancy AI will then compare your masterpiece to your profile pics. Just be warned, if your selfie skills resemble a confused goldfish, you might be out of luck.
-
The ID Dance: This, my friends, is where things get interesting. Tinder will ask you to hold up your government ID next to your beautiful face. Now, here's the fun part: Imagine trying to explain to your grandma why you're taking a photo of your driver's license with a pouty expression. "Just Tinder things, Grandma, wouldn't understand."
Pro Tips for the Verification Podium
- Lighting is Key: Don't record your verification selfie in the bathroom under flickering fluorescent lights. You'll look like a contestant on a particularly grim season of Survivor. Find some natural light, or invest in a good ring light (because who doesn't love a multi-purpose gadget?)
- Channel Your Inner Actor: For the selfie method, embrace the silliness. Those poses might look goofy, but hey, at least you'll be laughing (and hopefully not crying) during the process.
- ID Shenanigans: Maybe enlist a friend to hold the ID for you. This way, you can avoid the awkward contortions and maintain your dignity (or what's left of it after admitting you use Tinder).
Remember, fellow dater, the blue tick is just a badge. But hey, a shiny badge that says, "I'm real, and I may or may not know how to do a good duck face." Now go forth and swipe with confidence!
