"the profiles just don’t seem right somehow"

Is any evidence for your belief? Not having a bio text doesn't indicate a fake profile.

Alternatively, you could try setting up a fake profile of a really handsome guy. I think you will see that the girls you thought were fake, are not only real, but happy to text, engage, and even call or meet up with you.

Not the OP but in my European country a number of the pictures of women appear oddly "American" in style. Especially when there are indicators like foreign products or foreign electrical sockets in the background. Although those might be in fact catfishing profiles. For me personally, Tinder has been hardly more than an exercise in frustration and disappointment in my fellow humans.

Set up a fake okcupid profile a couple years ago. Set “Woman interested in Women”. The inbox was still overflowing with messages from men.
