What the badge confirms
One thing: that the woman in the listing's photographs and the person running the listing are the same person. A moderator compares the gallery against a separate shot in which she is photographed with the word nightarm. That shot is never published, never joins the gallery and is deleted once the check is done.
The practical value is exactly one thing and it is a large one: the badge closes off the most common form of deception, which is photographs belonging to somebody else. It closes off nothing beyond that.
What it does not mean
It is not a rating. Not a review, not a recommendation, not a mark of quality and not a promise that you will enjoy the evening. We check who someone is, not what they are like.
It says nothing about prices or about what she does, both of which she sets herself and can change. And it does not replace the conversation: everything that needs agreeing is agreed in words, badge or no badge.
- Confirmed: the same person as in the photographs.
- Neither confirmed nor promised: how the meeting goes.
- Not confirmed: the specific terms, which are always a matter for discussion.
- Not confirmed: that the listing is active today. The last-seen marker is what tells you that.
Why fewer listings are verified than not
Verification is voluntary and free, and some women do not go through it, not because they have anything to hide but because it is a separate step and a listing works without it.
The absence of a badge tells you nothing in itself: most listings simply do not have one. A separate mark, "photos not checked", is a different matter: moderation adds it when the gallery could not be confirmed. It is a warning rather than an accusation, and it means those photographs are worth checking yourself, by the methods described in how to read a listing and avoid being scammed.
How to use it
As a filter at the start rather than as the only criterion. Verified listings have their own page, verified listings in Yerevan, and beginning there makes sense if you are choosing for the first time and would rather not spend the evening second-guessing.
If specific conditions matter more to you, such as whether she travels, what hours she keeps or what format you want, filter by those and check the photographs in conversation instead. For example listings that travel or the price table.
For women: how to get it
Verification is free and offered once, on the last step before your listing goes live. Photograph yourself with the word nightarm — on a sheet of paper, on your palm, however suits you. You need not show your face if your listing photographs do not show it either. Only a moderator sees the shot, and it is deleted once checked. If you would rather not send one, there is a Skip button.
The point of it is that there are noticeably fewer conversations that start from suspicion and noticeably fewer messages from people writing to everyone at once. The terms for posting are on the information for women page.
