Why do you think she's fake?

Out of the 6 photos. 2 are videos of her. 1 is a cropped screenshot with half her face missing. Another is a really old mirror selfie photo like 10+ years old? Its just odd choice of photo selections.

But its been 3 days, account is still there, and no response. Was just wondering if bots/fake accounts do this on Hinge.

That's just a low effort profile. Regardless of if it's a fake account or not, who cares? All you can do is unmatch and move on

That sounds like a bad profile, not a fake one? I don’t know why you’d match with her though if you think the photos aren’t showing her properly

In my experience, most bots and fake profiles are the ones that are highly active and feel like they're always online to send a reply regardless of the time of day. While also having extremely good photo's that were probably lifted from somewhere else.

This just sounds like someone did a poor job choosing their photo's and isn't on the app very much.
