Who we point to
Real people, with public profiles we checked and the date we checked them. A label says where someone's authority comes from. It is not a ranking and not an endorsement, and nobody pays to be listed.
Credentialed source. Relevant licensure, an academic post, or published research, linked to an official page we confirmed.
Trending voice. Widely followed for talking about dating right now. Useful for knowing the conversation. Popularity is not a credential.
