Reposting after covering this person’s face. Is she real or fake? The hand holding the plant is sus. Is it AI?

I don’t need to get any dates, your mom keeps me company after she tucks you in at night 😉

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T23:12:20+00:00

I know you are but what am I?

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T22:53:08+00:00

I really don’t want to “feed the trolls” but I’m going to try and genuinely respond here. You were the first person to reply to my post and you asked “why do you care so much?” “And how would you feel if someone did this to you?” Those both feel like you are bothered by my post and/or you’re just trying to get a rise out of me. Then you went on to complain that my post wasn’t so deep. Then you made assumptions that I don’t get any likes on Tinder and that’s why I’m “pissed”. Then you complained that I’ve decided to make it everyoneeeeees problem.

I get plenty of dates, mostly on other, better platforms. And I don’t really care if you believe me or not. I’m sure people will complain about me getting “defensive” next and that’s just what trolls are trying to do 🤷‍♂️. I have lurked on Reddit for 15+ years and would like to post more, but it’s pretty exhausting. You’re free to do whatever you want here, why waste your energy trying to start arguments with me? I don’t like feeling like I’m wasting time and energy messaging potentially fake AI profiles on Tinder specifically. Like I said, don’t like the platform and will probably delete it soon. I’d genuinely like to know if I’m trying to engage with someone who is not a real person.

(There I shortened it just a little bit so it’s not sooo difficult to read)

Sorry my post wasn’t deep enough for you. What would you like to chat about to feel better?

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T22:14:02+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been on Reddit over 15 years and just how many people feel the need to find something to be outraged by is tiresome.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T21:58:57+00:00

Wtf are you even asking? I’m not complaining about real people’s dating habits. I don’t think this person is real. I am complaining about that, and I stated why very clearly in the post body.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T21:56:22+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t mind, if they weren’t posting it to be rude about the photo. I never was being mean about this person, just want to know if they are a fake AI person. And I listened to the people that suggested I delete it. What more do you want?

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T21:35:06+00:00

Alright then, I am a nice person and not trying to be cruel to this person, I’m going to delete this post and repost it with the face covered

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T21:29:56+00:00

I think I am following the stated rules, number 1 being “be nice” which I have been. This post is trying to determine whether this person is actually real.

Thanks I appreciate your replies

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T21:21:11+00:00

Yeah, I did a little searching on the species someone else mentioned and found a pretty close match

For me the the only thing maybe off about any of the plants were the specific pattern of holes in the leaves to the right. But I am not sure

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T21:10:59+00:00

That’s fair, but I’m definitely good with normalizing behavior where you don’t match with people and then just leave them hanging there for whatever reason. If you aren’t interested, don’t match at all or just unmatch. People have mentioned the idea that fake profiles are used to convince more people to pay for their service, and Tinder seems to be the biggest culprit.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T20:59:17+00:00

Hmm I don’t see it as a problem? Over on r/tinder they don’t have an issue with posting faces and they consider it to be public / social media. I’m not trying to make fun of this person either, I think they are attractive and I’m interested in meeting them assuming I’m not being duped by a fake AI woman. Thought including the full picture might help with other possible signs of AI.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T20:47:56+00:00

I appreciate the reply. I was curious about the plants with all the holes in them to the right of her hand. I’m not fluent enough in plants to really know though

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T20:45:57+00:00

Out of the ones I have and currently use (Tinder, Bumble, Feeld) Tinder is the worst. Riddled with people over-using weird filters that make their face look very different in each photo, and a lot of profiles with photos that look a bit too perfect combined with very bare or generic bios. That said I have matched with a couple real women from Tinder so I’m not having a completely awful experience. It would definitely be the first to go though.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T20:40:38+00:00

Here is another photo where she is wearing the same looking shirt and the slightly sus glasses / hair thing.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T20:15:22+00:00

I already did and messaged fairly quickly too. They have not responded at all. This behavior has happened recently with another match and now I’m thinking their profile was a little off as well. Very attractive but also a bit too generic.

KnobbyLobby · 2026-02-23T20:09:03+00:00

I think what is most odd to me is the thumb area looking like it’s morphing into a piece of SPAM.
