    First of all, it’s a pretty obvious joke.

    In this case, the joke is: “people with a PhD are doctors. It’s a doctorate. But the field of social sciences is not real science, and thus shouldn’t count as a doctorate.”

        The joke isn’t that they’re impersonating a medical professional. It’s that they’re impersonating the title of “doctor” by claiming a PhD. Someone with an Art History PhD is a doctor, but the joke here is that they aren’t really deserving of that title.

          Dude, I get the bloody joke!

          I’m very specifically asking how they are impersonating it on Tinder. Is it a picture? Is there a field in Tinder you can fill out with your job title? Do they write it in the description?

          And I’m asking how Tinder is verifying that.

            Tinder isn’t verifying it. It’s just a joke.

            Yes

            They’re not. It’s fake
