Age-checked dating: why rizzed cards you before you like

Dating apps say they're 18+. Then you swipe and wonder if you're actually talking to a teenager with a fake birthday, a catfish with a six-year-old photo, or someone who lied about their age on signup and never got asked again.

rizzed doesn't work like that. Before your card goes live—before a single person can like you—you prove you're 18+ with a selfie. Liveness check. Age estimate. No card, no matches, no sliding until you pass.

Here's why that matters, and how it actually works.

Dating apps say 18+, then do nothing

Most dating apps ask for a birthdate when you sign up. That's it. They trust you. A year later, you might see a profile that says they're 23 but their photos look 16. You can report them, but by then they've already been in your likes, your chats, your "Who's interested." The app doesn't stop you from messaging them first.

It's not just creepy. It's a safety gap. And it's a trust gap. You're dating on an app that claims to be 18+ but doesn't actually verify it until (or unless) someone complains.

rizzed age-checks you before your card goes live. That means:

• Under-18s can't sign up and hide in plain sight.
• Catfish can't steal a younger person's photos and pretend to be 19.
• You know that every card you see has passed an age check—not a promise, but a gate.

Why age check matters

Keeps under-18s out. Simple. rizzed is 18+ only. No teen mode. No exceptions. Your card stays hidden until you verify.

Stops catfish pretending to be younger (or older). A liveness check confirms it's a real person, not a photo from Google Images. An age estimate confirms they're in the ballpark of their stated age. If you're 26 and seeing a card, that person isn't 16 pretending to be 21.

Gives you one less thing to worry about when you slide. When you like someone or slide into Who's down, you're not second-guessing whether they're actually an adult. They've already proven it.

It's not perfect. Age estimates can be off by a few years. But it's a lot harder to fake than typing a number into a birthday field.

How it works

You take a selfie. Didit (the age-verification company rizzed uses) checks two things:

1. Liveness. Is this a real person taking a photo right now, or a screenshot of someone else? The app asks you to blink, turn your head, or move your mouth. You can't fake that with a static image.

1. Age estimate. The system looks at your face and estimates your age. It's not 100% accurate, but it's designed to catch people who are way off (teenagers pretending to be in their 20s, or vice versa).

If you're 18–24, you might be asked for an ID plus a face match on top of the selfie. That's an extra layer. It takes a few minutes. Your card stays hidden until you pass.

Once you verify, your card goes live. You can see other age-checked cards. You can like, pass, or slide. Chat opens when you both want it—not before.

What "verified" means (and doesn't)

rizzed uses the word "verified" to mean age-checked. Optionally with ID and face match. That's it.

What it does mean:
- You're 18+.
- If you provided ID, your ID matches your face.

What it doesn't mean:
- You're a good person.
- You'll show up to the date you arrange.
- The government or Apple or Google says you're safe.
- We promise you'll find someone, get a match, or catch feelings.

Age verification is one part of safety. It's not a character reference. It doesn't mean someone won't ghost you, catfish you with old photos, or turn out to be a nightmare on a date. It just means they're actually an adult and they actually look like their pictures (or close enough).

We moderate chats on purpose. We're not end-to-end encrypted. We screen photos, videos, and voice before they go live—stock images and AI faces get binned, and we ban people who send unsolicited nudes. But we don't promise that dating is safe. Dating is a choice. You make it when you slide.

Intent on the card: age check plus clarity

Age check keeps the wrong people out. Intent keeps the misaligned people from wasting each other's time.

When you see a card on rizzed, you see what they want before you like them:

• Something real. They're looking for a relationship.
• Casual, open to more. They're not sure yet.
• Just vibes. They want to see what happens.
• Figuring it out. They don't know what they want.
• Friends, maybe more. They like you first, then decide.

You know their intent. They know yours. You're both age-checked. That doesn't mean you'll hit it off—it means you're starting from the same page.

No surprises. No "oh, they were actually looking for a hookup and I wanted something serious." No wondering if you're talking to a 17-year-old who lied. Just a card, an intent, an age check, and your choice to like or pass.
